7. I'm curious what the angle will be
and I wonder who the guests will be.

Someone they should have as a guest, but won't, will be Max Cleland.

4. THAT'S why Repubs don't serve in the military!
It would hurt their chances of getting elected.

5. apparenly it hurts a politician if you actually serve in the military
like Kerry in Vietnam and Hacket in Iraq, but helps if you are a chicken hawk like Bush and Cheney and their like.

11. It's because he's a democrat people
If he was a republican it wouldn't even be brought to light with this questioning nonsense.

8. I can't even believe that is a serious question. Only repubs could
come up with that tortured a line.

Of course, ridiculousness has never stopped them from postulating all their stupid ass arguments before.

9. Support our troops....if they are republican and ascribe only to *co's
demonistic policies...hardball should be ashamed for even asking this question. I smell another "swifty" attack coming.:evilfrown:

10. It seems to be helping him
I think it's helping him. There was a nice segment on him on CNN at the dembloggers.com site (go back until you find it) and then the NYTimes had a nice article on him as well. These people are ridiculous and piss me off.
