What a service Mark treated us to every Sunday. His comments and diaries were also wonderful, and are also missed, but the missing really hit me just now, as I wanted to trash Crist’s performance on MTP as I know Mark would.
Knowing that Mark would inform me of all that mattered on the Sunday Shows was a real blessing that made the life of a geek political junkie more manageable. God bless Mark’s family.
I, like Mark, have been addicted to the Sunday Shows for decades. It started for me with Lawrence Spivak on MTP. The best ever as This Week when David Brinkley and George Will asked the questions. Will is the best questioner by far. So good that ABC stopped subjecting Democrats to his questions.
Of course we loved Russert and miss him.
I must say though that David Gregory is great. He is fair. He understands conservatism and seems to respect the ideas and he asks great questions of all.
Loved Sanford and Jindal today.

Jindal was great on MTP
pilgrim (Diary) Sunday, February 22nd at 12:00PM EST (link)Words that are in bills matter. He pointed out that the stimulus bill required permanent new funding of additional unemployemnt benefits must be continued by the state after the temporary 9 month infusion of money from the US government.
He also said that the levees that need to be fixed in Louisiana are federal levees, and he saw no hypocrisy in going to DC to request the US government to spend money on something beneficial to the entire USA, ie the federally owned levees.
prayers for his family today nt

Did he talk about wetlands restoration?
bk (Diary) Sunday, February 22nd at 4:42PM EST (link)That’s a huge factor buffer against hurricanes in LA and it is going away fast. Apparently the stimulus bill had $30M for wetlands restoration in San Francisco allegedly in part to help save some mice for Madame Rat. but $0 for LA wetlands restoration that might oh you know save some actual human lives.
I heard Barbour or Sanford earlier in the week talk about turning down welfare disguised as unemployment benefits because of the strings attached.
Greta's Exclusive With Sarah and Bristol Palin
Swamp_Yankee (Diary) Sunday, February 22nd at 2:51PM EST (link)Not a traditional Sunday show, but Greta’s exclusive is running today. Its a very long and personal interview. Interesting stuff.
I miss him too.

My prayers are still with Diane and his family as I know the void in their lives is so much bigger than what we all experience here.
