“Al Roker is sooo wrong with the "good son" part of his letter to the judge this man was no "good son". I applaud the grandson who knew that his grandmother was not being treated well and did something about it. Mr. Marshall's wife is just as guilty because she was involved in this in her own way with encouraging her husband to take advantage of his mother. So sad but luckily enough people cared about Mrs. Astor to do the right thing.”

“I swear I am done with the morning shows and other shows that interview Tiger's "girlfriends". I don't care about these women and I don't care about Tiger anymore. Tiger needs help because he is one sick puppy. I can only imagine how his wife felt when she found out that her husband's friends were helping him with carry out these affairs by buying airline tickets and all. All I can say is Elin run away from him and take him to the cleaners. I don't care what your prenup said he has humiliated you beyond reason and you deserve so much more and you certainly don't want your son to turn out like his father when he grows up!”

“I really feel sorry for Tiger's wife and the humiliation that she must feel because right or wrong the wife is always humiliated. That said Tiger it seems has done this for awhile and who knows what diseases that he could have given his wife. Yes it is a private affair but Tiger was the one in an accident at 2:30am and the media and others were doing their job questioning the whole thing. If you are a celebrity and don't want to make news KEEP YOUR NOSE CLEAN and you won't be on the front page. If you feel you can't live without other women in your life than divorce your wife and do what you want, if not be a man and STOP CHEATING.”

“These people are dishonest and nothing that comes out of their mouths can be trusted as fact. After reading the article in the WaPo this morning they are liars and con artists and they were out to get into the WH and they did. The bottom line is they heaped this trouble on themselves and it really was a matter of time that their luck was going to run out and they were going to be found out as the frauds that they are.”

“So Palin puts a letter on facebook from a 95 yr. old veteran when back in his days it was okay to call a black man a n*gger and we're suppose to take this man's opinions to heart? Obviously this old man doesn't know the history of Afghanistan and thinks that more troops means a win. I'm sorry my 56 yr. old husband and retired Naval Officer and a historian buff wants out and says there is no way to win and he believes that our President should take time on his decision. Where was this old veteran when Bush ignored Afghanistan for 7 yrs? My guess he didn't care because to him white men are always right.”

“Obviously you know that his wife was the one giving him food and since he couldn't get up from the recliner she could have started cutting back his caloric intake and really what could he do about it? Also there had to be some county health agency the wife could have gone to and maybe they could have put her in touch with a charity health organization to help her. I can't believe that anyone would watch someone sit on a recliner for months and not get some sort of help. She must have loads of problems because she did wed someone who was 500 pounds and I don't want to sound insensitive but this is really weird.”

“My husband is a retired Naval officer so I'm a bit knowledgable about what can go on at a US base and I'm surprised that Ms. Palin has been allowed to do this book signing there. This "Quitter's" book is not only about her but about her disastrous VP run which is political so I guess any politictian could go on any base and sell a political book which I personally have never heard of. I always was lead to believe that other than the Pres, VP, Congressmen,Gov etc. that doing anything on base that was political was forbidden. I'm surprised that some group like the ACLU hasn't looked into this.”

“Thanks for the warning, I live in Fairfax and would rather put bamboo shoots under my nails that run into the "Quitter." By the way McDonnell won Fairfax County because Deeds ran an awful caimpagn and McDonnell hid his far-right ideologies. His good friend Pat Robertson just slammed the Muslim religion and McDonnell won't criticize him for it and with Northern Virginia with a large Muslim population he is not starting out on a good foot. I fear that this state with McDonnell in charge will go back to the dark ages for women and different religions.”

“First off are we to believe that Katie Couric would okay the idea of doing a fluff piece of a VP candidate that nobody knew about 2 working moms? Katie's career would be kaput. I wish if Ms. Wallace has notes on Sarah's briefing before the interview, she makes them available to the media so the "Quitter" can be shown she is not only a quitter but also a liar. Obviously Ms. Palin does not like the "perky" one maybe she is jealous of her degree from the U of Virginia and more people think highly of Ms. Couric than they ever will of the "Quitter."”

“This is what happens when people are thrusted into the public arena due to looks only. These types of women i.e. Carrie and Sarah are so use to using their looks to get their way and when finally someone challenges them on something they start crying how unfairly they are treated. Thank God my beautiful 24 yr. old daughter was involved in sports that toughed her up for the world out there.(Thank you TitleIX.) She knows defeat and victory and knows that to get anything in life you have to work hard and your "looks" aren't going to help you. I have no use for women like Carrie and Sarah.”

“What I have heard from a high ranking retired military officier that the politicos around Obama are scared of Petraus. This retired officier also thinks we need to get out of Afghanistan. Not everyone in the military think we should continue this mess that the Bush Admin ignored for years.”

“Very good redhead61, a woman can call out another woman when she is playing the "poor victim" act. Listen once she made the comment about gay marriage she worked it for all it was worth and she lost her crown because going to anti-gay marriage rallies were more important to her than doing what she needed to do for her crown. She did lie when signing a contract stating that she didn't pose for nude pictures or video and I heard on CNN today that the "boyfriend" she sent it to was asked by Carrie to say that she was only 17 but he says now she was 20. Who to believe, well I might go with the old boyfriend. Also when you put yourself out there in the media to express your christian views and then pictures/videos come out distorting your views then "Lucy, you have some splaining to do!"”

“Why hasn't anyone gotten on her for being a liar? She had to sign a contract that stated that she didn't pose for any nude photos and alas some popped up. She writes a booked professing how bad pornagrahy is and again alas a "sex" video appears. I love the fact that she says she did it when she was 17 and it was just for her boyfriend. So when did religion get into the picture for this woman? At 18? I asked my 24 yr old daughter if she had a "sex" tape out there(Ms. Prejean makes it sounds like everyone does it) and she looked at me with disgust until I told her the "Carrie" story and she was appalled. I guess my daughter raised by a Democrat mother has more morals than Ms. Prejean, what a hypocrite.”

“My brother is a few years younger than mccain but he is that generation of white men that can't ever admit when they are wrong so mccain will go to his grave never fessing up to his huge mistake.”

“Trust me the military families that were invited to the WH appreciate the invitation rather then having the first couple visit them at a military base. They will always have the memories and more importantly their children will remember this Halloween at the WH for the rest of their lives. There is a certain feeling you get when someone goes out of their way opens their house to you and can you imagine the house being the WH? It's great to entertain foreign dignitaries and all but it's just so nice to open the WH to plain folks and I think the Obamas enjoy doing just that.”

“Doesn't anyone remember about 5-6 yrs. ago when there was a shortage of flu vaccines and that was because for the proceeding years the numbers of people getting shots went down so many companies got out of the business since they weren't making any money. Now this year they are making not only the regular flu vaccine and now the H1N1 so it only goes to reason that it was going to take time getting the number of vaccines needed, the govt. has nothing to do with that unless Ms. Perino want the gov to get into the vaccine biz. Also the way the vaccines are made are tricky with the eggs and all but lets not have any repugs do any research on it they just want to flap their gums on how bad it would be for the American public to have the public option. And why is it okay that 45,000 people are dying a year because they don't have healthcare but having airplanes fly into buildings that kill what like 4,000 and the repugs care enough about those poor souls to start 2 wars? Can anyone explain this logic???”

“Let me see, we have contractors in Iraq that have done such a bad job that soldiers have been electrocuted while taking a shower and all Fox news and their repugs that listen to their garbage complain about is ACORN! So much for pro-life!! I don't remember anyone from ACORN murdering anyone. And by the way ACORN isn't Obama's organization, it was started in1974 if I remember correctly in Arkansas. So why isn't Fox news "sniffing out" the bad contractors that are killing our soldiers?”

“You are correct MaeScott. This summer I drove from Va to Fl and at every hotel and fast food joint that had tvs they had Fox News. I remember stopping at a Dairy Queen in NC and sure enough Fox News was on, no wonder there are so many people out there that haven't a clue of what is "really" going on.”

“I had no idea about the Anti-Trust Exemption laws regarding insurance companies until a few months ago when I heard someone speak about it on a radio talk show and I was stunned. Although I'm a big ready of newspapers etc I had no idea and now it makes perfect sense why many states have few insurance companies that do business in their state. What I have read is that insurance companies were given this exemption when they were not for profit companies which obviously they haven't been for years. This is just one step to regulate this industry and get everyone insured along with the public option.”

“Later we find out the whatever was hanging down from the balloon was made of cardboard and held together by wire and the authorities couldn't figure out that it would never been able to hold a 6 yr old child? When my husband came home from work and saw the balloon like structure he could tell that it wasn't big enough to get into the air with the weight of a 6yr old so the questions again are to the authorities and who was giving them expertise advise on this contraption? I think this dad is a nut job and I agree with others that the wife seems a bit quiet in a bad way. While I was channel surfing this morning, Morning Joe said they declined to interview this family and are suspicious of their motives.”

“Palin was picked for 2 reasons: first to get the Hillary voters I guess they figured they were dumb and would vote for any woman over the man who beat out Hillary. Second, Palin was eye candy for the old white men in the party whose brains are between their legs when it comes to women. Why would Michelle Bachman have any supporters when stupid stuff comes out of her mouth on a daily basis? I'm still trying to find the 600 camps that FEMA are building for "reeducation" camps. A long term friendship of mine ended when my friend said that people hated Palin because she was attractive. I tried to be nice and mentioned many of the things that Palin actually said stuff like her foreign policy experience was that you can see Russia from Alaska and you know Putin has to fly over Alaska. When I said these things she said that Palin never said this and if she did the media would be all over it and I haven't heard from her since and that was in Jan. The reason she never heard this and many other stupid statements is she and her husband drank the koolaid long ago and only listen to Fox news, enough said.”

“I'm glad that Sen. Snowe will vote for the bill to come out of committee but I won't hold my breath that she we eventually vote for a healthcare reform bill. The only way she will vote for a final bill if she gets her voters in Maine to put the pressure on her to do so and they might already be doing that.”

“The Repugs are a sickening bunch of old white men. This wasn't Pres. Obama's Olympic bid this was America's Olympic bid just like it's not Pres. Obama's Acorn. The Repugs want to hang everything on this Pres. and if America loses so be it. I laugh when I remember McCain and his slogan "country first" what a bunch of bullsh*t.”

“Love this guy, says what I have been thinking for months. The rest of the dems listen up, if you stand up for the public option you too can get donations. I just donated to Rep. Grayson and was happy to do so and would be happy to donate to other dems that step up to the plate and tell the repugs what you really think. Stop thinking about being re-elected and do what is right for all Americans. It's too late for the 45,000 poor souls who died last year without health insurance but it's not too late to do something about it in the future.”

“I saw a clip on tv where McDonnell was criticizing Hillary for a paper or thesis she wrote 39yrs ago yet he wants nothing to do with what he wrote 20 yrs. ago at the age of 34 and already a father of daughters. For his advanced degrees 20 yrs ago he attended Regents U and although in an article this weekend in the Wa. Post showed that Regents might not be as rigid in conservative theology today, I would bet it was extremely so 20 yrs. ago. Living here in No. Va. I still remember our last Repug Gov. Gilmore that left this state in debt that Mark Warner had to get us out of and yet when Gilmore ran against Warner for Sen. in 2008 there were Repugs out there that voted for Gilmore instead of the man who got this state back on the straight and narrow and those stupid people will be voting again. Dems get out in force or McDonnell will be taking this state back to the dark ages and will tell everyone that God told him to do it!”
