1. Chuckles on MTP?

What the hell for? So he chairs the finance committee. So what? AHHHHHH. I see the angle. He supports the cuts to ag subsidies because he thinks it will more affect factory farms/big agribusiness. Russert let's another shill make believe less money for farmers is good! Hah! You think Russert will be able to speak logically on the subject? Hell no. Well, I guess when you just won reelection and you probably aren't going to run again in six years, it's ok to start pretending Bush screwing the people who put you in office is ok. Damnit. I bet you that's why he's on. Defending Bush to Midwest farmers. Bullshit. Bullshit. Bullshit.

2. But he loves to cut his grass. I loved the commercials of Chuckles on

his lawn mower. :eyes:

3. I liked Art Small's singing commercial myself. n/t

4. Santorum on CBS?

That should be intresting.

Ed Schultz was also interviewed to be on ABC, but they chose Conrad instead.

5. I like Kent Conrad

Nobody does a better job of talking finances, & pointing out the fraud that is the Repub budget & debt.

6. Thought maybe Dean would be on at least 1 show. n/t

[oasis]

7. They snub Dean because he won't put up with any bullshit. Screw 'em

we can gather our forces, hold press conferences exposing the deceptions of the Bushistas and make our own news.

[kaitykaity]

8. I was hoping the same.

:kick: for the morning crew.

9. I heard that Dean won't go on the shows if they play the scream

he's going to be on cspan with Terry today...I think

edit-Sunday, February 13

11. That's not quite true...it was supposed to be CBS that he said that to.

And I've only heard that second hand.

The C-Span show is a compilation of the ceremonies yesterday.

Give Dr. Dean a day to make sure he has a place to live in DC (he said yesterday he wasn't sure he had a place) and spend a little time with Dr. Judy, who was there in DC with him yesterday. He's going to be away from her a lot — not that he hasn't been already.

10. I was hoping for Dean, too

On MTP, however, I thought what Charles Grassley had to say was interesting. If he's working with Republican talking points, there's some interesting backtracking going on. Now the president is just out there framing the Social Security issue with the American public and looking for bipartisan solutions.
