1. notice Iraq-nam is off the front page

energy grid rehash......deregulation debates, while noone mentions Iraq.

[TacticalPeek]

5. Betcha Wes Clark gets in some Iraq zingers; he's been lethal lately.

And Sen Sloberts is intel committee, home of brewing doom for WH, but he could be showing up for some other area of apologies with which I'm not familiar.

[LizW]

8. Yep, last week the CA recall circus, this week the blackout

What will happen next week to keep Iraq out of the news until September? Back to the recall? Or something new?

[Friar]

2. I can't watch those things anymore

Even when they have someone whose views I want to hear, they ask such inane questions or steer the conversation away from real issues I just can't take it. I'll stick to the net, thank you very much.

[argonne]

11. Ditto. Haven't watched them since

1998.

[madaboutharry]

3. Where's Arnold?

Looks like Iraq is yesterday's news as far as Sunday is concerned. But the absence of Arnold S. is rather striking. Last week it was all Arnold all the time. I think he is going to fade quickly.

[JI7]

4. he only does leno type shows

seriously, i'm waiting for him to do some serious political show. i wonder if he thinks he can get by without having to do those. any other politician with that m uch attention would have been on one or all of these shows for sure.

6. Tom Delay will only appear on Fox

7. kick

:kick:

[UTUSN]

9. The Wedding Cake Guy Is Standing in for G.E.RUSSERT

Brian "The Wedding Cake Guy" WILLIAMS is ably picking up the mantle of tough-on-Dems/easy-on-Repukes for G.E. He has tried battering BUSTAMANTE (who did very well, better than I expected) while letting SIMON off smoothly.

[Flubadubya]

12. Abraham unloads crock...

says "we need to have electricity rates high enough to "incentivize" (don't you just love that word?) providers to be able to maintain the grids."

Oh Holy Bejeebers... like extra high rates are going to motivate them to keep up the equipment. The only thing that gouging the customers is going to do is "incentivize" them to pad their wallets. Period!

OOOHHH, how I loathe these *ssholes!!!!

[Jawja]

13. Williams let Abraham

off the hook about the GOP's failure to provide money to modernize the energy grid. There was no mention of the the failure of the GOP House to pass the Farr Amendment for $350M to fund improvements to the power transmissions systems, with the Bug Man, Tom Delay, referring to warnings regarding the grid as "demagogary."

[UTUSN]

14. Here's Doofus off the Hook

[UTUSN]

15. While the Outage Was Going, RICHARDSON

Bill RICHARDSON was ALL OVER the media whore outlets: Why? As the FORMER Energy Secty, he was being used as a TOOL to smear the CLINTON Administration with having done nothing.

All ex-CLINTONers should STAY OFF the air at times like that and let the GLARING VACUUM of the Shrubbites be the void on the air. Where was this ABRAHAM doofus?-----why "on a business-related trip overseas" and "due to the time difference, probably asleep" when it was happening. Asleep at the switch.

This Mal-Administration is always missing: At any given time, one can ask, "Where's (POWELL, SHRUB, CHEENEE, THOMPSON, et al."

[MiltonLeBerle]

10. Late Edition looks like the one to watch-

The next President of the United States- Wesley Clark, Arianna Huffington, a Saudi foreign policy advisor, terrorism guy, and Abraham&Granholm...

It looks like Wolfie wants to cover all the bases- Iraq, California Recall, Power Blackout, and election 2004.
