Brian Lamb is catapulting the jingoism this morning.

[Skidmore]

"Is America the greatest country on earth?" That's the burning question of the day. With all the news yesterday, this was all he could come up with?

1. I'm listening to Condi get lambasted on CSPAN2 (from yesterday);

much more in touch w/what's going on.

[malaise]

2. He's lucky I don't feel like

wasting my money on an overseas call today.

[Cassandra]

3. I think he's trying to make himself feel better.

I think I'll go join babylonsister at C-Span2.

[malaise]

4. No country has had so much power in history

and used it with such magnanimity - damn -who is this lunatic?

[KharmaTrain]

5. Another Facist Friday...

WTF is "greatest" mean. I think of the circus or the biggest pizza or Muhammed Ali. Well so far we've learned the U.S. is greater than Guyana...cause our food is better. Sheesh

Brian hasn't been a happy camper for a while...his GOOP buddies are tanking which has to make his cocktail parting a real bitch these days. But then at least he still shows up on Friday and it's a pleasure to see him do the slow burn every week.

C-SPAN has been real bad lately in carrying water for the GOOP. The network is a steady parade of AEI asshats who get the free time on C-SPAN to spread their bloodlust that is then picked up by other media outlets.

6. He's in total Brownshirt "Save the Fuhrer" panic mode today.....

If he were smart, he'd jump off the Titanic too.

7. How are callers responding?

[Skidmore]

8. Many people pointed out that America is not the greatest because

of the policies that it puts forth. One guy from England pointed out that our government refuses to educate our children properly. One lady said that * is "the worst thing since original sin."

Brian kept asking people who didn't think American was the greatest if they would give up their citizen, live somewhere else, or to name the country that was the greatest if not America.

9. sounds like he wasn't expecting the responses

he is receiving. Ala glowing yea rah and frothing calls that righties could catagorize as "hate america-ers" - sounds like instead he is getting more complex answers. Almsot makes me wish I didn't have to run out the door - and could tune in and watch.

[Democrat 4 Ever]

10. Brian has jumped the shark. He read long portions of an article from Murdoch's

reichwing rag about Barbara Boxer being nasty to Kindasleezy yesterday. Brian feels the need to read a truly nasty personal attack against Boxer for his viewers instead of discussing Kindasleezy's appearance before the committee. Lamb has taken Fascist Friday on C-Span to a new low.

[Skidmore]

11. You know, I heard that exchange between Boxer and Rice

and it never once occurred to think that Boxer was insulting Rice for being childless. I took away from it that she was trying to establish that the decision being made by policy makers and legislators were not affecting them directly or personally. Another exercise in manufactured outrage on the part of the RW Wurlitzer.

[tanyev]

12. Yeah, baby. That rocket attack just gave proof through the night

that our flag was still there. USA!USA!USA! Whooooo-Hoooooo!!!!!!!







Cough, cough. Ahem. Sorry. I don't know what just came over me.
