		<description>Although I think Michelle would make a good host, I winced when she asked her first guest a blatantly loaded question.  Leave the loaded questions to Alan Colmes.</description>

		<description>The Boss does such a great job filling in for Mr. O. Now, if we could just get Megan to join the ladies of the Vent, that would be a winner for sure. Hey, instead of The Factor the Boss&#039;s new show could be called The Vent with Michelle Malkin. Yeh, that&#039;s the ticket...the perfect answer to The View. Move over Baba Wawa. Here comes Michelle!</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;What is up with Juan Williams lately? He has seemeed to quite rational fairly often. Britt Hume finally slapped some sense in him?&lt;/blockquote&gt;He&#039;s wandered of the liberal plantation, and it&#039;s just a matter of time before they start calling him the same kind of names as they do Condi.  Well, not quite the same, but you know what I mean.

The Fox liberals just aren&#039;t the completely unhinged variety - look at KP, Bob Beckel, E. D. Hill (who is more of a Lieberman liberal), Lis Wiehl, even partisans like Colmes and Estrich don&#039;t seem as wacky after you&#039;ve spent some time watching the Spew or reading Kossack diaries.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Hey, Michelle used that on The Factor tonight!

I&#039;d be flattered if she picked that one up from my post.

Wow!</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;OUCH!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;The fact that Perl wasn&#039;t there....but it could have just been a faulty memory. HA! It&#039;s ok, he&#039;s BOOOOSH&#039;s enemy now.

When did Kendall change her name to Kelly? Did she get married? I didn&#039;t see a ring on that finger...excuse my ignorance on this subject. Those two talking about massages and se....uuuh, I won&#039;t go there....&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megyn_Kelly&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Thanx for Google&lt;/a&gt;..She is 100% single now! WOO HOO!

Dang...got a phone call during the whole next segment.

BAYUM! Go Michelle! The MS13 question...hehehe..he said doodoo! She is quite passionate about this, I love it.

I am not sure...was that &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.larryelder.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;The Sage/em&gt;WOW, Michelle is on top of here game. She sounds so informed and educated. Will I be Imus&#039;d for that comment? Seriously impressed again.

Horrible! HORRIBLE! That kid&#039;s future just got jacked from him. Brain development, at that moment, has become retarded. &quot;Thanx Mom!&quot;

		<description>Was that the same Juan Williams that just about cried on air when President Bush was re-elected?

I think Juan and KP knew that if they tried to spin anything, our Michelle would have &quot;punked&quot; them in front of a very large audience.

Note to Bill O.  Great choice picking MM to fill in, you know what your viewers like.......</description>

		<description>The Rev Coleman is one of the growing number of clergy who are more that willing to disregard American law for the sake of ILLEGAL aliens. Notice the key words &quot;Civil disobedience.&quot;  

It seems like the clergy mix Christianity with Marxisn and Anarchy nowadays.  Indeed, it seems like they favor the end of American Sovereignity.  By favoring, illegal alien activity, that is an insult to those who have came to America &lt;strong&gt;LEGALLY!&lt;/strong&gt;

The President of Mexico has stated (and I am paraphrasing)that Mexico goes beyond its borders and where ever there is a Mexican, there is Mexico!  

Extraterritoriality, Senior Presidente?

Oh, BTW-Rev. Coleman...If I do not make a donation to your church by placing money in the collection plate...would that be considered and approved of as an &lt;strong&gt;ACT OF CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE?&lt;/strong&gt;

Just wondering.....</description>

		<description>What is up with Juan Williams lately?  He has seemeed to quite rational fairly often.  Britt Hume finally slapped some sense in him?

And to be really snarky....  KP really needs to have some teeth whitening treatments.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;, how long would they be in custody for?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Who cares? The attack would have been thwarted. That&#039;s what&#039;s important. The &quot;punishment&quot; is completely secondary. The fact is, by his own admission, he failed to connect the dots. He also failed to Kill UBL on at least 2 occasions which would have also likely caused 9/11 to be thwarted. He drew the big check he deserves take the responsibility for his failures. 

&lt;blockquote&gt;f we are going to demand perfection from the intel community then we will never see another NIE because no one is going to stick their neck out on a hunch assessment.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Perfection? How about being at least 5% right? How about being a man and stop blaming other people for your failures and take responsibility? People can at least respect that.</description>

Didn&#039;t I read somewhere that rapid blinking during a discussion means that even you don&#039;t believe what you are saying.</description>

   Come on...let&#039;s just say for the moment that we knew exactly where Mr. Atta and his crew were.  Had he swept in and scarfed them up on September 10, how long would they be in custody for?  What had they done wrong exactly?  So they had some &quot;crazy ideas&quot;...had they acted on them?  Remember, this was in the day when EVERYTHING was treated as a CRIME(WTC 1, USS Cole, OK City bombing).  You don&#039;t defend against Crime...you clean up the mess and grab the perps.  Had he swept them up and kept them in a safe house somewhere and the NYCrimes got a hold of it, who would be blamed?  DING DING DING...yep...the President would have been called everything but a milk cow...again.  September 11 was pretty much destined to happen when we walked out of Lebanon (barracks bombing) and Somalia (Blackhawk Down incident).  We were viewed as weak and the barbarians were going to exploit it...again.

As for the Iraq WMD intel...I&#039;ll agree(for the purposes of this discussion) that it was screwed up.  The intelligence business isn&#039;t perfect and mistakes happen.  If we are going to demand perfection from the intel community then we will never see another NIE because no one is going to stick their neck out on a hunch assessment.  The US was wrong on the data right along with Britain, Israel, Russia, and Germany.  Those five countries are the best intelligence services in the world...and they made a collective mistake.</description>

		<description>So Mike, Tenet was involved with the worst intelligence failure in US history resulting in the death of 3,000 innocent people and billions in economic damage and then went on to totally screw up the intelligence on Iraq. Can you tell us why in light of those historic failures you think Tenet did a good job?</description>
