PS---Keep in mind you can always watch The Young Turks 24 hours a day at www.theyoungturks.com . The streaming video/audio means you can minimize the window and surf the net or post at DU while you hear Cenk break down the latest politics.

And you can also join the chat while the show is on live from 3-5pm EST, and during the post game show (where in addition to politics, many other less serious topics are discussed) from 5-7pm EST.

1. Phil Donahue is so Good

I wish he had his own show again.

11. yep. nt

3. I think Ike was a decent president

[ProfessorPlum]

4. Here's the thing though

Eisenhower definitely had his good points - and to his ever-lasting credit warned us of the military-industrial complex . . . but only on his way out of the door, after feeding the beast with cold-war build-ups throughout his term.

Did he feel he had a choice? We'll probably never know.

5. Maybe he realized what he was doing had those consequences if things weren't kept in check

6. he was the last "good" Republican president

[Auggie]

15. Truman didn't like him

I read his (Truman's) autobiography years ago, and as I recall, he thought Ike was quite passive -- something to the effect like, " couldn't do anything without a memo."

16. I said decent, not all time greatest

[90-percent]

7. Brings to mind....

Some speech when Bush was announcing invasion plans. Before the cameras were on live, he was standing there pumping his fist and saying to himself; "Yeah! Feels good!"

MIC exists to make stuff that gets blown up. Education and health care benefits are some of the best investments for our future our tax dollars can make. But we let them piddle away our taxes on stuff that blows up.

8. K/R. Thanks for sharing this ihavenobias.

Donahue hit it out of the ball park. I will go to Body of War.com to check out the film and will listen to the entire interview. :thumbsup:

13. k & r for Donahue and The Turks n/t

[Emillereid]

14. I saw the movie last night and Phil and Ellen were both there for a discussion

at the end. I highly recommend the movie - urge everyone you know to see it. It brings the war home in the most profound personal way that talking head kind of documentaries miss.
