Just as qualified as Chuck Norris and Jackie Mason I suppose. Sophia said “Is John Cusak qualified to give us advice on politics?”

However, despite my lack of interest in McCain, he is far better than Obama. And at this point, a non vote for McCain is a vote for Obama.

I agree that they hae been straight up from the beginning. Whether or not that was the plan with E.D., she ended up giving her opinion for everything she covered. They should have just named it "E.D.'s Pulse" because it ended up being all about her and what she thought. My thing with Laura is probably a carry over from all politiking as of late.....everyone has an opinion but it is always the same opinion: Barak=bad/McCain=not as bad or McCain=McBush/Barak=the second coming of Christ. It is rhetoric and she is no different. I am just tired of hearing how Rep's are good and Dem's are bad or Dem's are the answer to all of America's problems and Rep's are just morons.

You probably hit it on the head Terrance. More exposure. I believe it will take more than exposure for her to get the ratings but I am hardly media savvy.

Griff was there, outside, with Clayton doing a little schtick. John Cusak's movie will tank just as all the other Hollywood anti-war movies have done. You couldn't give tickets away to these flops. (Especially the one Mark Cuban produced.) I just saw F&F say that Griff Jenkins was going to anchor Fox and Friends Weekend this weekend.

Did I miss something? The only person brought up and taking the hit was Mike Baricle and he was excused because it was just something "stupid" he said - no mention of Chris Matthews and Olbermann? What gives? I don't think I have ever seen such an obvious display of any cable news channel being in the tank for Obama. Mika even made fun of McCain's Town Hall meeting last night and every single one of their guests spewed anti-McCain and anti-Republican rhetoric. Is John Cusak qualified to give us advice on politics? Next time I hear anyone on MSNBC call Fox News in the tank for McCain I think I will choke.

So, why is Erica in NY again? I thought she would be hosting every time AC360 is out? Oh wait, CNN needs to get Campbell Brown more exposure on AC360 because of her paltry 8pm ratings, eh?
