Colmes was yelling tonite, I mean yelling and not letting the guest get a word in edgewise.

The guest, NY Congressman Peter King, had called the UN, New York Times, CBS, and John Kerry an axis of evil. LOL I love it.

There was one of our guys who had actually been in that dump in April ’03. I don’t think he’s ever been on TV before. Colmes grilled him like the meanest of prosecutorial lawyers and the kid did great…he refuted every one of Colmes snarky points. His grin at the end showed he knew it. Bless him.

No wonder Colmes was testy. Heh.

BTW, on Scarborough Country last night (er, Tuesday nite) Bob Zelnick of ABC News said the New York Times committed an egregious error with shoddy reporting on this story. Yes, he used those words: egregious and shoddy.

Any news organization that has any integrity at all should be furious at the Times and CBS for the hit on their profession’s reputation. Zelnick was furious.

Our friend Dick Morris said this was a fatal mistake on Kerry’s part. Kerry was doing well by emphasizing the economy and health care last weekend and he should have stayed on that path and let the whitehouse and the Times fight this out on their own.

However, a little bird told me somewhere that it was actually Bill Clinton who advised Kerry to go on the attack about the missing explosives.

LOL

I almost feel sorry for Kerry. But he willingly stepped in it himself. A couple of words from Clinton and Kerry leaped in with both feet. It wouldn’t be any more difficult for Chirac to lead him around as well.

Tracking poll note. The WaPo tracking poll still has Kerry up by 1 today. That’s because they switched (in the middle of the game) from accumulating over three days to four. So the Kerry statistical bump stayed in an extra day. Bush will be up in the WaPo tracker tomorrow.
