One of the more interesting vignettes this Sunday morning, is going to be the interview of a 'Major Publishing House' employee, who is apparently 'leaking' the inside story of Bush trying to 'shop' his proposed autobiography.

He's been seen leaving publishing houses for the past couple of weeks, accompanied by gales of laughter. This morning we'll find out why.

According to this insider report, all Bush has 'written' of his autobiography so far, is on a large sheet of paper, on which are scribbled, in crayon, the words,

'BUSH, THE WONDER YEARS'

The Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW) "Yellow Rose of Texas" bus was destroyed by fire the night of the 11th. The driver (and only occupant at the time) got out shaken but unhurt. Arson is very strongly suspected.

Preacher Boob @ 2:

'BUSH, THE WONDER YEARS'

It would be more accurate to call it 'The Blunder Years'

Why does Newt Gingrich keep showing up? Have Richard Perle and Paul Wolfowitz died?

The Republican Party is totally incompetent when it comes to governing, however they are absolute masters of controlling the media.

It all began with the charge, still chanted, that the media has a liberal bias. In order to prove it isn't liberal, the media has to swing far to the right of Louis XIV.

No doubt Russert will be ripped apart by gasbags like Rush and Billo for giving Hillary face time.

Being a Sunday morning talk show host must be a shit*y job these days.

Imagine having to interview idiot friends of your idiot bosses, and make the 'interview' appear unscripted and intelligent, without revealing the idiocy of republican candidates.

Tough assignment.

But I don't think a 'Tip o' the Hat' is warranted. After all, they could have been pitch-people for feminine hygiene products, had they wanted to pursue an honest career.

Shorter "Sadly, No!"

Is anybody expecting GWB and the GOP to allow elections under martial law?

but are you counting Hilary as a non-republican???????

Whats the scenario? My friends and were actualy debating a near future civil war or coup if it looks like the Dems are going to win. I think thats why these establishment Republicans are coming out for Clinton. Edwards or Obama are too much of a gamble for them. With those two I could see some kind of coup by whacked out hard line military guys. Where as I think Clinton would trigger southern states suceeding, lol. This conversation was after three hours of Madden and BudLite though.

No thanks. I'll do the crossword and listen to music.

pissed off patricia @ 20:

Because, as usual my little very old dog woke me up way too early, I got a little reward for answering his need to go outside for a bit. I turned on book tv on c-span and got to hear Dahr Jamail speak about his book, "Out of the Green Zone". Oh my, was that enlightening. Left me wanting to scream in anger, but most speakers who tell you the truth about this war can do that to any of us. Jesus, we have been told so many lies about this war and we are still be told them today.

He was asked which dem candidate would be best for getting us out of this war and he just shrugged his shoulders.

He seemed to think the question was when, not if the US would strike Iran.

As for the Sunday shows, does it really matter what any of the guests say? I'm not sure right now. Unless one of them says they want to start a rebellion against what has happened these past seven years, I not sure anything else they say matters much.

I need to go find my smiley face and put it on because I'm not feelin' too smiley right now. :(

'Not Watching' the Sunday Spin is the best remedy for an upside-down smile. Get happy.

Rudy is on FnS touting a "One page tax form" in Florida.

I think someone forgot to tell Rudy about the 1040EZ.

What catches my eye? The absence of Edwards. The absence of meaning. The absence of substance. The absence of goodness. The absence of reality.

What makes Rudy more ready than McCain? "9/11". :)

Rudy: "Democrats are talking about raising taxes 20-30 percent."

7 rethugs and 2 Dems...once again, another Sunday filled with the media jamming repug ideology down joe six packs throat. And besides Hillary, why Kerry ? It's so blatant they don't even try to hide it anymore.

Boy what a worthless line up of Republicans. You have a man who is running that appears to never be mentally there (Thompson), another that is mentally way out there (Huckabee), another that tries to be everywhere for everyone (Romney) and still another that wants everyone to re-live his favorite day (Guiliani). If the Republicans were to combine all of them into one body they may actually have a candidate with some leadership ability.

Mugsy @ 39:

Kristol defends Hillary too. Me thinks these guys REALLY want to run against Hillary.

There is always a motive behind their madness....They are not Hillary's friends and probably have reams of slime to unleash as soon as she becomes the nominee.

"leaving your wife when she has cancer is very noble. We won't ask you about it"-sunday show bookers to Newt

I suppose it was tongue in cheek saying that the "news" shows don't get it? Of course they get it. They are, as they have been doing since the beginning, trying to manipulate the dialogue and national debate. They aren't doing what they are doing in order to inform. They are doing what they are doing in order to control the dialogue, ensure that the debate doesn't stray into areas they don't want discussed and to disinform. Watching the offering from these propaganda outlets accords them a legitimacy they don't deserve.

I'd buy those bobbleheads if they were candles.

The biggest news this morning was the Chimps speech..seems he's hell bent on starting another war....he slips it in on a Sunday morning when everyone's asleep.

wonder if the bobbleheads will bring this up as the drums are banging louder.

Russert has been trying hard to paint Hillary as a racist. I wonder if he had Obama on, he'd try to paint him as a sexist?

It amazes me that the democratic poltiticians can't embrace Jesus and use his words to show how liberal policy reflects His teachings. They'd kick ass. Because it is the truth.

It would be in one simple swoop begin a complete redirection of the framing the GOP has so hypocritically used. The righteous party of murdering invaders, that care more about the Camels than the poor. Unh Hunh.

At least Huckabee is truer to Christ with some of his liberal ideas than a modern day conservative who puts business above people. Even Mike doesn't understand the power. When Mitt labled him a liberal in the debate, Huckabee should have run with it....with the truth of what it really means to be a man of God who understands Jesus's teachings.

The dems and You Tubers with some slick videos/ads could really stir it up. It wouldn't need to be some fundamental extreme thing maybe just an ad campaign where they quote Jesus and then show the utter contradiction and hypocrisy of the Republican 'conservative' policies. Conserve...yeah right. Protect God's Creation? Yeah right. Forgive...yeah right, love thy neighbor...yeah right..care for the poor...yeah right..care for the children...yeah right..don't bear false witness...yeah right...on and on and on.

Just caught the end of Kerry on NBC... what was the story George was trying to tell about Kerry and Edwards? Kerry totally shut him up, refused to comment on it and came off very, very poorly. Wouldn't answer to whether it was true or not because he didn't know precisely how it would be worded, yet refused to hear the full quote.

Listening to these Sunday shows, it's clear they decided a longtime ago this is a two "man" race. Timmeh shows a "Unite the country" poll with just two names on it.

If I were Edwards, I'be be hoping that voters end up rejecting both of them after listening to their sniping for months. He's been staying out of it, and hasn't been the subject of many attacks, so he could slip through unscathed.

George wanted Kerry to comment on Hillary's controversial Martin Luther King comments and he declined.

'...jesuitical...':HillaryClinton,yesshejustsaiditonMeetthePress...

Kerry compared Obama to Lincoln, "Our greatest President"

Lincoln was "Our greatest President"? I beg to differ.

Clinton is lying saying that she doesnt want gender to play a role in the campaign. She politicizes her gender and panders to women all the f'ing time. It's obviously the reason she won NH, and just a few days later she did it again saying "No woman is illegal!" in NV, which 1)makes no sense at all and 2)is blatant pandering. I do not care for her brand of politics at all.

Dennis for Prez!!!!!!

What a Joke. I stopped watching the Sunday shows a long time ago. I predict Cable TV is going to do itself in. They did it to themselves by putting on Republicans every week touting the same ol garbage. They put on one supposed Democrat Hillary Clinton out of the whole bunch, and John Kerry, a hasbeen from Massachussetts. Sorry, I'd rathar do my Laundry than watch that crap anymore!

Just got done watching,well after I heard hilary this and hilary that, I turned it off what are the talking heads all that stupid here it is in big letters YOU WERE PLAYED after all the plants do you think those smucks in the audience yelling iron my shirt weren't plants and then we have the water works didn't know you could get a stone to cry but there it was. All that was missing is someone on youtube to do a Leave hilary alone ala leave britany alone and we'd have a red letter setup. and on that note there would have to be a subtext of she didn't want us to backslide from finally waking up to seeing how the corporations and poloticians are turning this country into a third world fiefdom for only the wealthy
I know that everyone here thinks that rush is a lard butt and nut job , but, what is the clip of Bill Clinton laughing at a close friend's funeral and when he sees the camera he starts to cry the Clintons can't be trusted they are not progressives and anyone that wants power for power's sake I will not vote for they wer vindictive the first time what do you think they'll be like now that the restrains on the office of the president have been weakened?

If their stated goals were that much different, it would matter. I want to believe that Hillary will do what she has always wanted to do for this country. That much she has said for many years now. John Edwards is the one candidate that appears to be most like actual Americans, he wants to fix the things that are broken first. Obama, I am still waiting for him to say just one thing substantial that indicates that he wants to do anything except change.
Since it is likely they are scared for their lives, it is understandable that they want to say less at times. But we have heard what John and Hillary want. We have not heard anything from the senator from Illinois. We know the republicans seem to want him, Why? Do they want to attract themselves to him to make him appear bad or good? Let's cut through the chase. Debates don't do it, that is a bad TV show for people that watch idolstarsearch.

Anyone trust the analysis of anyone comparing the three? Jimmy Carter was right in the Onion the other day. He pretty much said it all. You see, he missed the 80's and 90's. He sort of wonders what happened as everyone got high on the wrong kind of chemicals. gasoline. What a rotten president he was, he tried to get us to abandon oil as an energy source? What a rube, eh?

Only decent president we have had since the Roosevelt fellows helped build america and prevent it's destruction. He was replaced by a certifiable moron that couldn't even act when he had the lines printed for him. That's what America wants, idiots. Does it make you feel better?

Sorry Jimmy. I only seem to disagree with you about one thing. You were the best we ever had.

what catches my eye is NO Obama, NO Edwards. Why talk to GOP candidates running in single digits when you could talk to 2 other dems BOTH getting more votes than the WINNERS of the Republican Primaries??????

Why is Newt Gingrich on ANY talking head show? Oh, I guess Ronnie Reagan is still dead.

But there are still those superdelegates I can just imagine who they will go with

cspan is the same as well...it has been abysmal...and CNN "says" they are covering it- but they aren't...NO DEM coverage all day ( except Hill at a Black Church ...cough... so we should all feel better now)......It is disturbing...the Media is making a mistake- because the joke is they could have had us ALL watching....and instead???? I guess they too are using the Rovian Playbook....

Look at that lineup...the damn liberal media strikes again!!!!

Without the nameplates on the base, I would not have been able to identify a single one of those bobblehead figures in the photo.

Someone has probably pointed this out, but the Romney bobblehead looks more lifelike than Romney.
