This Week's Topics:
--The Barack Obama comments about car maintenance improving gas mileage from this week, including putting air in your tires.
--John McCain's response that Obama's gas tips are ludicrous, although President Bush's highway department agrees that those tips could save more than offshore drilling would provide. Later, John McCain suggested almost identical tips to save gas.
--Newt Gingrich also ridicules Obama's gas-saving tips.
--Mitt Romney doesn't cite a single McCain accomplishment related to energy during his time in the Senate, and claims it's because he isn't a historian on that type of legislation.
--The 2008 Presidential Debates are announced.
--More suggestions that the Obama campaign is bringing down John McCain's military service.
--John Kerry confronts Joe Lieberman on Meet the Press about the lack of a respectful campaign from John McCain.
--Sean Hannity asks whether anyone can name Republicans that have questioned Barack Obama's patriotism...and most people can.
--Three suggestions that Barack Obama supports post-birth abortion, or in short, endorses child murder.
--An update on the Republican Senator Ted Stevens indictment, and another convicted Republican politician being mislabeled once again as a Democray by Lou Dobbs on CNN.
--John Kerry says we can't capture and kill our way out of Iraq, and that terrorist groups have only met their demise as a result of military action 7 percent of the time.
--Nancy Pelosi explains why she has struck down legislation to impeach George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, and Dennis Kucinich follows up on why he thinks she should pursue it, although it's highly unlikely it would happen at this point.
--Joe Lieberman, continuing his move to the right, wants to drill domestically offshore, and continues using the bogus gas price argument for it. He later adds he might even speak at the 2008 Republican National Convention.
--Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's thoughts on offshore drilling and oil men in the White House.
