I watched Fox News Sunday today. My satellite receiver was dislodged by some roofing repairs, and Fox is the only channel I get well via `regular' TV; otherwise I would not have watched it. They had two Democrats on the show, Tony Podesta and Simon Rosenberg. Later in the morning, I watched Meet the Press too, with Rep John Murtha.

Chris Wallace (how can he call himself a journalist? He's a shill for the Republican Party!) was the interviewer on FNS, and he brought up a couple of points, all invalid or contestable.

One of his points was that John Kerry said in 2004 that he defended his vote on giving Bush the power to invade Iraq back in 2002, and now Kerry says that vote was wrong. Chris Wallace asked Podesta if that didn't show weakness and indicate a problem with Kerry's decision-making power. Podesta did a good job refuting that point, and I believe that the Democrats need to make this point over and over again. It's a strength that they try to turn into a weakness, and we need to highlight that, and not let them twist it around.
