1. Caller: Walt Starr's research!

Cited The Telegraph article!

2. I`m still laughing at

the guy who called in and mentioned the Bush`s Fake Medal story he found in a British newspaper. He wondered out loud if Bush had bought the medal at a Houston yard sale or perhaps did he catch the same medals Kerry threw over the wall?

Sane Americans for Truth

3. Wow - 3 Howard Stern calls so far!!

I wish they'd leave cspan alone, but I think it is funny when they get on CNN. During hurricane Charley, one guy got on as a FL mayor. Daryn Kagan gets so indignant as a "journalist" about this.

4. C-Span just "cleared the phones" because of the Stern callers...

Whatever that means.

I guess that means that everyone on hold for 20 minutes just got cut off.

Bush supporter raging now about C-Span's liberal bias.

Laughing out loud here!

5. Why isn't Riley doing more TV?

He really needs to be in front of the cameras, what a great spokesperson!

7. WRONG!!!!!

He has a nice voice, but got KILLED on talking points, just destroyed.

sorry, but it's true

he failed IWR 101, 87 billion dollar vote 202, just for starters

he let that slimeball from WABC sit there and say that Kerry went along with the vote for war, which the IWR was NOT, as anyone with half a brain knows

THEN, inexcusably, he could only answer back on the 87 billion vote that Bush sent Hummers to Iraq without armor. He didn't mention at ALL the flip flop of Bush threatening to veto his OWN BILL, because of a rider that would benefit VETERANS!!!!

when are surrogates going to be able to answer this simple question

he ALSO was unprepared when that jerk said that ENRON was CLINTON's fault, along with seven trillion dollars in corporate crime. this WABC buffoon said it was Clinton's SEC that allowed it, failing (as did Riley) to say that congress stymied Clinton's attempts at putting teeth into the SEC, or Wendy Gramm's revolving door role
in the CFTC's removal of oversight regarding ENERGY FUTURES contracts, etc.

How come I know this stuff, and a person who's PAID to have at least SOME familiarity with it does NOT, apparently?

and the poor fool who's on now from Milwaukee (protest leader) let an idiot caller get away with claiming that Bush inherited a recession

what is WITH this garbage?

[mandyky]

6. Mark Simone just summed up Kerry's problem

and I agree with him on it - Kerry gives a 9 part answer to a 1 part question. Kerry's handlers have gotta get him over that for the debates, or it will be Al Gore sighing all over again.

8. but, did you notice that the guy said Bush is a GREAT debater?

and that he's never lost a debate?

let's GO with that and RUN all the way to the debates with THAT clip

Bush is a GREAT debater!!!

RAISE the expectations on this genius, right?

Poor Kerry will be chewed up and spit out by our fearless leader

Gee, if that's true, why is the COWARD in chief refusing to agree to ANY debates at all?

[mandyky]

9. I missed that! LOL

I am getting very good at tuning out stuff that is pure crap!! LOL
