&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;King George and his minions have always told wolf the phony blitzer ,anderson stupor etc what to say. start hitting the advertisers as suggested in crooks ,be mad as hell and don’t take it anymore . Paddy Chayefsky predicted this some years ago . Watch the movie Network again and apply deep pressure until 06. bush cheney and rove are scared as hell, Lamont and the civil war in Iraq etc etc– remind the people who the real terrorists are. I don’t think fear mongering is going to work this time. Alfred E Neuman&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;Isn’t that just the damnest thing you ever read/heard/saw?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Re: Republican senatorial candidate for Connecticut&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mr. (Alan) Keyes, Karl Rove is calling!  Nuff said?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Why all the committed support for Lieberman from Republicans and NARAL and Establishment Dems? What did he do that was worth so much commitment? It’s a curious thing, isn’t it?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;[…] Digby: It’s probably overkill for me to post about this hour long Pamela Atlas Shrugs &quot;interview&quot; with John Bolton since so many others have already commented. But I thought it was worthwhile to emphasize something about it that Glenn Greenwald mentioned in passing. This interview was done last Saturday. Does everyone remember what was going on last Saturday? […]&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Hugh at 161, you are correct.  I was using epidemic as understood by the general public, which is OMG we’re all gonna catch it and die.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Unless you live with infected fowl, this is highly unlikely without human to human transmission.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;UPDATE:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I just called NARAL.  The person who answered the phone confirmed for me unambiguously and clearly who they are supporting for Senator in the general election in Connecticut.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;NARAL IS STILL ENDORSING LIEBERMAN.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They confirmed to me that they are doing so IN SPITE of Lamont’s win in the primary.  There was zero ambiguity.  They are supporting LIEBERMAN.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Makes you wonder who’s controlling NARAL, kinda, don’t it?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thanks tommy yum, I have long felt that a Lamont victory in the primary would be worthwhile as a litmus test for politicians and interest groups alike.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Connecticut election was like pulling a fire alarm in every Democratic politician’s bedroom, forcing them all to run out into the plain public view, along with whomever they were sleeping with behind closed doors.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Accordingly, we need to pay extremely close attention to who gets behind Lamont and supports him, who pays lip service only, and who gives aid and comfort to Lieberman.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With the Connecticut primary behind us, and a Lamont victory in hand, now is the perfect time to identify the friends and enemies of the progressive movement and the Democratic party.  Let’s not allow this moment to pass us by without taking full advantage of the information that can be gleaned.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You mean that old saw “Time to take names and start kickin’ ass!”?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;little dog: “Lieberman doesn’t have to throw control of the Senate to the Repugnants to damage the Dem’s cause. Even one more Republican senator would weaken us.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That’s not so much the issue. The Republicans will definitely be losing Senate seats this election. The big issue is who will get Senate control.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My own guesstimates show anywhere from a 52-48 lead for the Pugs, to a 51-49 lead for the Democrats. A tie is a very real possibility.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(The House won’t be quite as close. The Republicans retain a small edge, but given voter sentiment are really unlikely to maintain their majority. Right now, I’m predicting a range from Democrats 222-213 to Republicans 220-215, with Dems the likely winners in the House.)&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;What Christy said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Although I have my suspicions about this situation. I know a gentleman who is an analyst that is supposed to be heading to that area of the world.  He said that Hamas and other Palestinian organizations typically treat the media well because it’s their only lifeline to the rest of the world.  Not so the Israelis; he was more concerned about them because they don’t have any compunction about picking off anyone marked “PRESS”.  [Not my opinion, just conveying what this experienced person who has been to that area multiple times said on this topic.]&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We should be very concerned not only for the welfare of these folks regardless of their employers, but what kind of manipulation this may be and what ends are sought.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
