[chicagiana]

Dick got seriously side-swiped today. Lets not forget that the most popular women in America is NOT the junior Senator from New York.

The MOST popular women in America resides in Beverly Shores, IN. Her name is OPRAH!!!!!


DRAFT OPRAH!!!!!! 2008!!!!!!

1. How about some details...

for us people who don't watch TV?

[saltpoint]

2. Lugar's seat is probably safe, even from an Oprah challenge.

That said, Lugar is a cretinous moron who rarely pulls his head out of his hindend.

The ultimate company man.

3. Did you see how he

Kept pushing "good faith" or something and "the president wants Bolton" ... Um, Luger, the President is not king!

[saltpoint]

10. This is true.

God what a horrible thought, too. Bush as a king.

4. Where was Oprah last election cycle -

She could have done shows which might have had some benefit, like on the ability for any want-a-be hacker to hack the voting machines, but she didn't seem to. Her behavior with Gubnur in CA during the rigged recall was also IMHO an abuse of power!

5. she did have jon stewart on yesterday...

but did a damn good job of keeping the conversation apolitical.

6. I think Oprah wanted to stay out of it and only supported

Ahnold because she's dear friends with his wife. She did do a show on the power of women voting which encouraged many women to find their voices.

9. She did a great show on the importance of voting.

The show was one huge GOTV commercial, actually. I thought it had benefit.

7. so- what happened?

was he expected to be named pope or something? cuz that's the ONLY "news" i can find- pope news.

[babylonsister]

11. There are threads from earlier about coverage

on Bolton. This will get you started.

12. Bolton? I thought the thread was about Lugar...

or does Bolton have a luger from his day in the hitler youth...?

all this pope stuff has me really confused...

[babylonsister]

13. Luger was the head shed on a committee to

determine whether Bolton testimony could continue. Luger wanted to vote today but was shot down. Testimony will continue in 2 weeks.

8. after the committie,i heard about Lugar..'i thought they wanted to abolish

the filabuster'... referring to the ramblings of 'LUGGIE'.. at least that is what i thought they ment.. it was a under the breath comment..
