Who are these idiots on Meet The Press today?
I am not talking about Schumer. I wasn't watching that closely but every time I tuned in I wanted to throw up.

1. All war supporters
http://atrios.blogspot.com/

ABC's "This Week" - Sens. Joe Biden, D-Del., and Richard Lugar, R-Ind.; Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif.; actor Kevin Bacon.

---

CBS' "Face the Nation" - Sens. Jim Webb, D-Va., Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and Arlen Specter, R-Pa.

---

NBC's "Meet the Press" - Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee; Sens. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., and David Vitter, R-La.; former presidential speechwriter Michael Gerson; Kenneth Pollack, a Brookings Institution analyst.

---

CNN's "Late Edition" - Sens. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., Christopher Dodd, D-Conn., Jon Kyl, R-Ariz.; former Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael Steele; Democratic strategist Donna Brazile.

---

"Fox News Sunday" - Sens. Sam Brownback, R-Kan., and Joe Lieberman, I-Conn.; Ellen Miller, executive director of the Sunlight Foundation.



So, let's take these one by one.

Duncan Hunter - supported the war
Kevin Bacon - unsure of his opinion on war.

Jim Webb - opposed war, though not in Senate at time.
Mitch McConnell - supported the war
Arlen Specter - supported the war

Mike Huckabee - supported the war
Chuck Schumer - supported the war
David Vitter - supported the war
Gerson - former Bush speechwriter, supported the war
Kenneth Pollack - supported the war

Chris Dodd - supported the war
Jon Kyl - suppported the war
Michael Steele - supported the war
Donna Brazile - unsure if she took stand on Iraq war, but is on board of wingnutty Foundation for the Defense of Democracies.

Sam Brownback - supported the war
Joe Lieberman - loves the war
Ellen Miller - N/A

4. gotta agree...
did you notice the (Repuke) guy waving his hands around just like his speech coach told him to? I swear that these guys can't be real if they were standing naked in the street. Does this guy really talk with his hands flying all around like he's got some muscle disease in his real life? What a show, just for the wing nuts.

6. how long do the Repukkke producers on these shows think they can get away
with such an unpopular political stance? Sure, they've ignored profits and good ratings to promote these idiots for years. But they can't go on forever and stay powerful. Can they?


upside down world

7. Obviously, they think they can get away with it forever.
Another reason I prefer to take my dogs to the park on Sunday mornings.

8. Oh, let's do include Schumer.
As an example of the special interests groups writing legislation, he used the ACLU? And then failed to mention that crime has DECREASED?

And his middle class couple are REAGAN VOTERS? Well, those people lost their jobs over three years ago. They're now making less than fifty percent of what they earned before.

I wasn't remotely happy with Schumer.

9. Someone needs to ask Tim on the air why he thinks Cheney would view
his show as an environment in which they can "control the message".

10. MTP isn't on here in Santa Cruz County...
Why is that? They showed a rerun of the local news. How bizarre is that?
