He'll be Timmah's guest this week for the full hour. Be sure to check it out.

Also take the time to let the Senate Judiciary Committee know how you feel about FISA telco amnesty.

    Meet The Telecoms (none / 0) (#1)

    I'm sure the Telecoms are burning up the fax lines to Tim's office.

    The Las Vegas over/under on when russert will ask about the Move-on donations is currently - 5:30 into the broadcast.

    You know the Telecoms will attempt to swiftboat Dodd.

    watch, mtp will try to smear Dodd for attending yearlykos, using an inflammatory post of OPL or Rex.

    nice try on all the technicalities.

    "and I saw h/is/her f/phase

    now I'm a believer..."

    I want the New Dehli monkeys to take care of all of these candidates.

    though I could handle Elizabeth Holtzmann.

    Dodd isn't the only guest.  A Ford biographer and Safire are also on.

    The biographer is Tom DeFrank of the DailyNews.

    here's the lead graphs of today's News piece


    Gerald Ford was disturbed by Bill Clinton's skirt-chasing ways - and thought he should check into a sex addiction clinic.

    A new book on the late 38th President reveals he had strong views about the Clintons: He thought Hillary wore the pants and that Bill couldn't keep his zipped.

    "He's sick - he's got an addiction. He needs treatment," Ford told Daily News Washington Bureau Chief Thomas M. DeFrank, author of "Write It When I'm Gone: Remarkable Off-the-Record Conversations with Gerald R. Ford."

    [snip]

    In Ford's eyes, Clinton's weaknesses were in sharp contrast to his wife's iron will.

    "She's stronger and tougher than he is," he said. "When she takes a point you're gonna have to be damn sure you're well informed because she won't compromise as quickly or as easily as he.

    "She's very bright. She's strong, and I think he defers to her. When she gets her dander up, she ain't gonna roll over."

    And he had no doubts about her ambitions. "Hillary is gonna be on the ticket in '04 or '08, one or the other, you can write that down," he said in 2002.

    Yet he didn't think she would win - "I don't think the country is ready for a lady President," he said - and he didn't live long enough to find out if he was right.

    The Clintons, through spokesman Howard Wolfson, declined to comment about the book.

    Wanna bet Russert lead that segment with Clenis, and pants stuff, and not Ford's other views on Dick and Dummy.

    ...BUT Senator, you voted blah, blah, blah....

    ...BUT Senator, you said blah, blah, blah....

    ...BUT Senator, WHY....

    Interrupting him, accusatory, disrespectful, raising his voice, derisive, smug, beating him up with other Dems words.

    Nothing contemporary.

    The Telecoms are ANGRY!  I mean, who else did handed Russert all this "opposition" research.

    I wish Democrats would do these shows.

    OH, HERE IT COMES, THE TELECOM QUESTION - 17 MINUTES INTO THE BROADCAST.  It's an "OVER"

    The move-on money question (none / 0) (#6)

    Even I didn't know that.

    "you raise money from these guys..."

    "old time politics.."

    "you know that...."

    Oh, now Tim is fun taxing the rich!  That's Rich!

    It's a massacre!  

    I'm surprised Russert hasn't called him "Comrade Dodd"

    hahahhahahahhahah

    Heh!

    hahahhahahahah

    Russert is throwing the kitchen sink at Dodd.

    This should be a lesson to Democrats - Russert is not your friend, especially when you monkey with the Telecoms or any major interest group.

    If it was a fight it would have been stopped 20 minutes ago.

    Not a single question on George Bush.  

    You would have thought Dodd was President and responsible for the mess.

    Hopefully, this will create a backlash of support for Dodd.  Remember in June 2003, Dean was "ambushed" by Russert, asking him personal questions about his son, and down right stupid questions like the number of US Soldiers in Iraq.  The Dean campaign put up a bat, and money poured in.  The blogs were bursting in righteous indignation.

    Go Dodd - talk the lemon and turn it into lemonade.

    It also reminds of when the long knives came out for Howard Dean in December 2003, after he affirmed his intent to breakup corporate media consolidation on WhiffleBall with Chris Matthews.
