John McCain Is The Most Frequent Guest on Sunday TV

The data shows McCain to be the most frequent guest on sunday morning talk shows. The data did not show him to be the most popular.

Below is a list of gusts that has appeared on sunday morning talk shows since 2009. I already told you senator John McCain of Arizona was the most frequent guest. Guess who was the number 2? Senator Lindsey Graham. McCain right hand man.

Since the beginning of 2009, more than 1,500 people have appeared on five Sunday news and political talk shows: “Meet the Press,” “Face the Nation,” “This Week,” “Fox News Sunday” and “State of the Union.”

Many are familiar faces in Washington, where lawmakers, consultants and pundits routinely sound off on the week’s news, while others come from the worlds of entertainment and sports.

Researchers at American University have collected more than 9,000 appearances. Below is a listing of those guests, excluding network employees or contracted regular guests.

Another Infant Rescued from Overheated Car – Video

They’re still leaving babies in hot cars? Still?

This is the dramatic moment firemen rescued a toddler from a sweltering car after his mom left him to run an errand.

Cellphone footage shows firefighters popping the baking vehicle’s lock and lifting out the crying little boy as sweat drips from his forehead. They then strip off his clothes before rushing him into an ambulance for treatment.

The incident occurred Monday afternoon outside the Fallas Shopping Center in San Jose, California, as temperatures soared to 92 degrees.

Fire crews were called after passersby spotted the infant alone. It’s believed he had been inside the vehicle for between 5 and 10 minutes.

His mom, who has not been named, was questioned by cops on her return to the car. She claimed she and a second child had “just run into a store for a minute.” The boy was rushed to a local hospital for immediate treatment.

But San Jose Police Department said she could now face child neglect charges, reports KTVU-TV.

Suge Knight on Being Shot – “I don’t think that’s really important – who pulled the trigger”

A couple of weeks ago, Suge Knight was shot six times at a party. He was rushed to the hospital and is now, for the first time, talking about the shooting, a shooting he really doesn’t care about.

“Even if I did, I don’t think that’s really important — who pulled the trigger and who I seen pull the trigger. I’m doing extremely well. I’m happy to be doing well. Whatever happens, happens.”

Knight was one of three people injured in the shooting, which took place at a pre-VMA party hosted by Chris Brown at the 10ak nightclub; the other two victims are expected to survive as well. Despite being hit in the stomach and the arm, Knight was able to walk out of the club on his own.

“One thing my father always taught me, no matter what it is, you never give up, you never quit if you start something,” Knight said. “When you walk in a place, you walk in one way and no matter what goes on, you leave the same — as a man. I was shot, and I wanted to make sure I got to the right place to patch some of these holes up.”

Knight went on to claim, with a laugh, that he didn’t feel a thing when he was hit, and added that he’s already focused on the future and what he can learn from the incident. “There’s gonna be some times where you might get in a few bar fights; there’s gonna be some times where you might get a few shots. But if you’re able to survive those shots, you’re supposed to make yourself stronger and be more positive, more aggressive with the people you want to deal with. And that’s the page I’m really on.”

Clinton is in Mexico for a charity-related event hosted by billionaire Carlos Slim.

She formally announced the exploratory committee for her failed 2008 presidential campaign on January 20, 2007.

More Americans Working, Unemployment Rate Falls to 6.1%

Now I too can do what the other talking heads are doing and complain that 142,000 new working Americans in the month of August is too low a figure for this economy. And I too can look at the unemployment rate, which fell from 6.2 to 6.1%, and complain about that it is not at 1%. But compared to where we were when Bush left office, when we were losing 750,000 jobs a month, I’ll say we are in a pretty good place right now.

Of course, there’s always room for improvement, but creating almost 10 million jobs over the last 53 months is definitely progress.

Republicans are Forcing A Democrat to Run for Office

And day is night and up is down. WTF is going on in Kansas? And why would a Republican be this concerned about a Democrat choosing not to run for office.

Would you be surprised if I told you that the answer is selfish politics? With Republicans, the answer is always selfish politics. The answer is never about the will of others and what they want, the answer is always about the Republicans and their selfish need.

The battle brewing in the Republican controlled state of Kansas involves three men running for Senate in the November and recent poll results showing the Republican leading if all three men compete. If the race is only between two people – the Republican and the Independent – the same poll shows the independent winning the election by a landslide.

The Democrat in the race, Mr. Chad Taylor, saw that he had no shot at winning and decided to withdraw, throwing his support behind the independent, Mr. Greg Orman. It is a free country, right? You’d think that the ultimate decision to serve rest solely on the people seeking office and if they chose not to compete, then FREEDOM! But freedom is not really free especially when a Republican is involved.

Chad claims that he followed all the legal procedures to remove himself from the race. Even getting firsthand guidance from the very people who would approve his withdrawal. Chad said that these people (Republicans by the way) even help with the exact wording he used in the documents needed to remove his name from the ballot. He said that he was assured by these people that all the necessary legalities had been followed and that his name would be removed.

“Upon confirming that my letter would remove my name from the ballot, I presented identification, signed the notary ledger, and signed the letter before a secretary of state employee notarized it,” Taylor’s statement said. “My candidacy in this race was terminated yesterday.”

Or so he thought.

You see, control of the US Senate could depend on who wins the Senate seat in Kansas. Republicans know that having Chad remove himself from the race was a sure loss for the Republican candidate.

After giving him everything he needed to legally withdraw his name, Republicans are now saying that Chad did not withdraw his name legally.

The Republican Secretary of State, Kris Kobach, cited a 1997 Kansas statute requiring that candidates wishing to with withdraw their names explain why they cannot serve if elected. Kobach said that although Chad’s letter mentioned the statute, it did not explain why Chad was “incapable” of serving.

It should be noted that the Republican Kris Kobach endorsed the Republican running for Senate.

So there you have it. Against his will and his wishes, Chad Taylor’s name remains on the ballot.

FREEDOM!
