The Sunday Morning Talk Shows - The Review
Sunday, August 19, 2007
On MTP, Karl Rove averred that the 2006 midterms were typical for midterms and were very close. He said that what hurt the Republicans the most were corruption and spending (earmarks). He also said that Dick Cheney was right about Iraq in his ‘94 comments but that 9-11 had changed things since then.
On FNS, he said that his criticisms of Democrats on the War on Terror in a recent speech were directed at MoveOn.org, Michael Moore, and Dick Durbin’s “American troops are Nazi war criminals” speech. He accused host Chris Wallace of being an unwitting “agent” of Pat Leahy and Hank Waxman. And I liked this Rove quip: “I’m a myth. I’m Beowulf; I’m Grendel. I don’t know who I am.”
The Democrats debated at Drake University in Iowa this morning, and that was ABC’s This Week. The candidates yelled at each other, and some folks liveblogged it.
On FTN, as on the other shows, they talked about Rove’s assertion that Hillary Clinton is a “flawed candidate.” By this, Rove said, he meant that she’s coming into the election with the highest negatives of any candidate in history. Rove said that it was someone else’s idea for him to appear on the “trifecta” of network Sunday morning talk shows. He said that though it was difficult for a party to win three consecutive Presidential elections, the Republicans had great candidates and could do it next year. He listed four by name: McCain, Giuliani, Thompson, and Romney.
On LE, Wolf talked to an Iraqi Kurd member of parliament who said that the Iraqi parliament could make progress by September, but if not, it’s time to think about a change. Next, Wolf had three campaign consultants for the Democrat campaigns on to revise and extend what their candidates said in the debates.
Missouri’s Kit Bond came onto LE and said that the NYT story suggesting the Congress had accidentally given President Bush dangerous new spy powers was “flat wrong.” He had offered to put a rebuttal on their pages, but the times, fearing that their narrative would be shattered, refused.
Next on LE, was Pennsylvania’s Bob Casey, jr., who blandly mouthed Democrat talking points. He said that the White House planned to distort the September Petraeus/Crocker report. He implied that as long as we left Petraeus and Crocker in charge in Iraq – the current course – nothing will change.
Yikes.

AN ATTEMPTED POLITICAL ASSINATION
Will she be successful, that will be up to the reader.
The INJURED PARTY or VICTIM - PRESIDENT BUSH, The CRIME - The one count ATTEMPTED ASSINATION of President Bush’s plan to PRIVETIZE a part of AMERICA’S SOCIAL SECURITY retirement system.
The DEFENDANT - Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton - Her Co-CONSPERATORS - the DEMOCRATIC PARTY
The person bringing the one count indictment of ATTEMPTED ASSINATION against her, - ROBERT SCHELL. Why such a CHARGE? To prove Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton is 100% wrong on the PRIVETIZATION issue.
The COURTROOM where the one count political indictment can be discussed / adjudicated is on NATIONAL T.V. The makeup of the JURY, who will decide which party to this important political case is right, will be the AMERICAN VOTERS.
Yes, I am asking Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton to debate her position on what she would do to save America’s S.S. retirement system from going broke on national T.V. with me. I, on the other hand, will defend my improved version of said President Bush’s S.S. part privatization retirement funding plan. Then let the JURY made up of AMERICA’S VOTERS decide, whose plan they like best.
Well, what do you think, would you listen to the debate, if it should take place? Unfortunately, I’m a, “nobody” of importance to her, so without your full cooperation in putting “political pressure” on Sen. Clinton, to defend her position on the S.S. retirement funding issue, a debate with me, will never take place. Shame on us, Republican, if we let Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, get away will a POLITICAL ATTEMPTED ASSINATION on a winnable political issue for the Republican Party. I did put a visual Challenge on YouTube.
P.S. If interested I do have a way Brand New idea and its solutions that meets another political need in America. A way to rebuild America’s crumbling infrastructure without raising taxes to do it by. Look up my webpage at, iamtired.org. Click on MONEY to read how I propose to do it.
