Heads up! Jeneane on Crossfire on CNN in 15 minutes

[VermontDem2004]

[proud patriot]

1. She's been doing great

Can't wait for the show today :hi:

[Catherine Vincent]

8. What's the deal with her hair?

She is doing a great job but geeze. She must be making a statement with that hairdo.

[mkregel]

69. Hey I like the hair

she looks great!

Gonna REPRESENT!!!!

BTW...did I ever mention that i had a crush on her since she was on the Ben Stiller Show?

[gratuitous]

2. Yeah, right

I've been suckered once already today about watching CNN! Well, never again, boy! Wait . . . Janeane Garofalo? Hmmmm.

[oasis]

3. She's been holding her own against Bowtie Boy.

[gratuitous]

4. No disrecpect to Ms. Garofalo, but . . .

I could whip Pretty Boy without breaking a sweat. All you need are a few facts and the truth, and he's pretty much done. I love to watch him get all faux indignant, though, with that "how-could-you" look on his overpampered mug.

[oasis]

11. She just told Tucker "Don't pretend you don't know what I'm talking about"

She just busted him on his "how-could-you" posture.

[HootieMcBoob]

13. She gets better every day.

She does not pull her punches at all! Man, this show is much better with her. :party:

[oasis]

24. She dares to talk GOP conspiracy while Begala and Carville shy away.

[RummyTheDummy]

32. That's not true.

I've heard both men bring it up on many occassions.

[oasis]

37. I recall Begala ducking under the table when Cynthia Mckinney

asked for an investigation of 9/11.

[RummyTheDummy]

39. Maybe he did in that instance.

But I watch the show frequently, and he's never at a loss for venom. I think to say he never stands up for Democrats is a tad broad.

[oasis]

41. "He never stands up for Democrats?" Who wrote that?

Check Wonk's Crossfire poll, I praise Begala.

[proud patriot]

5. Showtime

starting with California

[Brotherjohn]

6. Wasn't Conason going to be on today?

nt

[CatWoman]

22. It's been rescheduled to next week

What didn't happen yesterday is supposed to occur today and tonight, including "Kudlow & Cramer" on CNBC, "Buchanan & Press" on MSNBC, and "Live From the Headlines With Paula Zahn" on CNN at 8 p.m. Eastern. (I'll be on "Crossfire" next week instead of tonight.)


Today's schedule also includes a live Internet chat on USAToday.com at 3 p.m. EDT. (In addition to which I'm also doing lots of local radio.) And Barnes & Noble has posted an interview with me about "Big Lies" on its Web site.

[HootieMcBoob]

34. Thanks for the info

:)

[Cush]

7. Media cheerleaders

hehehe

[proud patriot]

9. " It Is The Bush Cheney Cartel's Fault"

Go Garafalo

[proud patriot]

10. " It was about Oil "

Hello ..Tucker needs to be smacked IMHO

[realFedUp]

12. Janeane is on firrrrrreeeeeeee!!!!

good retorts!

[Wonk]

15. "This administration is trying to turn us into a theocracy."

"There's a reason for the separation of church and state. Good government needs authentic debate. Religion doesn't have that. Faith is just faith."

:bounce:

[realFedUp]

28. Some union crew should take that thing out now

It doesn't belong in the courthouse. Take it to
some church.

[Metarie81]

14. seeing her live

I'm seeing Crossfire live with her on thursday....I'm very excited about it.

[bearfartinthewoods]

43. if you get a chance, slip her the fab five's phone number

i am NOT a 'apperancist" but my gawd...what has happened?

[SharonAnn]

62. Yes, appearances count for a lot on TV - it's a visual medium

I love her quick mind, her wit, her fearless verbal attacks.

However, her messy, blond look with short ponytail in back and strands falling down on the side wasn't very attractive. And, her weird sundress(?) make her look like a frumpy valley chick maybe running errands, doing grocery shopping, etc. Just didn't look like a knowledgeable commentator.

Usually I'm not too concerned about appearance but her appearance was such that many wouldn't listen to what she had to say. Just not credible looking.

I know, I know, appearance shouldn't be that important but the fact is that it is that important.

[wildwww2]

64. I am still waiting for the first time I see Bu$h and he looks credible!

So if apperances count for alot. When is our court appointed dictator going to make one. In which he does not look like a drunken doofuss in a $3,000 suit? I would just like to know. And once his lips start moving. Only a real brain dead like himself. Could not see he is a dangerous idiot.
Peace

Al Gore is My President

[realFedUp]

16. Doug Ose

J asks how about recalling Bush for losing millions of jobs
and putting this country into deficits....

Gads, they keep airing the tape of Davis leading the
chant for No recall.

[realFedUp]

17. Art Torres

good spokesperson.

[proud patriot]

18. Oh shit she just announced Bushrecall.org

starting tomorrow by a progressive coalition .

[Hell Hath No Fury]

45. Heard that too...

Progressive Majority .org are the folks she mentioned. Nothing up at their website yet -- will swing by tomorrow. I'm not too unhappy about the development -- it would streamline my life a bit right now. ;)

[Randi_Listener]

19. WTF?

Who is listening to this idiot Carlson? Are you telling me that people actually listen to this limp dick? Christ on a stick, he's weak.

[Dover]

54. Hehe! Haven't seen that photo of chimp before. What's the story?...

..

[Rose Siding]

57. The story, in detail:

Bush is a moron with no sense of his own body space. Or he's drinking again.

[VermontDem2004]

20. Darrell Issa really cried?

or is he just saying that?

[realFedUp]

23. Issa cried...

I don't know if it was coz he just spent a lot
of money and the Bushies told him not to run
or some other reason.

[tom_paine]

60. Bingo. Would've loved to see that meeting with Uncle Karl

"Issa, you're just a small-time car thief and I could break you over my knee like a swizzle stick. I can ruin you! Don't fuck with me Darrell. Just be a good little boy and get out there and do as we say...

"I know you spent your own money but we'll kick it back to your campaign slush fund...

"Jesus, Darrel, are you fucking CRYING? Listen you gutless little worm, just get out fo here you make me sick.

"And KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT!"

[realFedUp]

21. Fiddling with the lighting

got some intern on the lights today...

[Cush]

25. lol

thought i was seeing things

[proud patriot]

27. Man this is a great show

Woooooo Hoooooo :bounce:

[realFedUp]

26. Arnold's economic plan....

J asks what is it...Ose said it's about stopping businesses
from leaving the state.

Actually businesses aren't leaving, but have cut slots
because they don't have the business....how about the
other companies in this country leaving for India...
anyone ask Republican governors about those?

[proud patriot]

29. missed opportunity to slam arnie

should of mentioned his meeting with Ken Lay ..
Oh well , a lot of great points made .

[realFedUp]

30. still plenty of time

to bring up his disrespect of women, his Prop 49 adding
to the budget mess, no experience as a political leader.

[ibegurpard]

48. She mentioned that on Monday.

n/t

[RummyTheDummy]

31. She looks a little "rough" today.

That shirt should be against the law.

[SideshowScott]

55. I think she looks dreamy! Sigh!!

Sigh! :loveya: Shes all that and bag of chips if you ask me

[RummyTheDummy]

65. You need to have your eyes checked.

NT

[Randi_Listener]

33. Pinhead

Tuck "Medicated Pads" Carlson is very indicative of the conservative approach. Lie. Spin. Rhetorhic. Strawman. Repeat.

[VermontDem2004]

35. lol I keep laughing everytime I see the pic

of the drunkard Bush.

[proud patriot]

36. I know ..LOL

the look on his face of sheer fear at getting out of a car LOL

[realFedUp]

38. VermontDem....in the future, the Crossfire photo slows the process down...

:-)

[VermontDem2004]

40. what do you mean?

[proud patriot]

42. Might hinder people on dialup

bigger pictures tend to slow things down for them .
Is There a way to make it smaller ? I like the picture .
:hi:

[VermontDem2004]

44. Oh ok

I haven't had dialup since 1999. I have a Cable Modem, I will remove the pic.

[DemLikr]

46. Considering that she's brand new to this...she's doing great.

I agree that she looks a little hung over or something.

There's got to be a way to sharpen her up for these news discussion shows (in a visual/presentation/clothing way) and still retain a good sense of her bohemian roots.

I am NOT suggesting she take on the McNews/broom up the ass look of all the other talking heads...she just needs a good hip stylist who will give her sophistication with a bohemian edge.

[VermontDem2004]

47. Hey!!!

She is just find the way she is, except I don't like black nail polish but that doesn't bother me.

[grasswire]

49. I agree about the appearance

I've got no trouble with "edge" but she looks sort of dirty today.

We fault Ann Coulter for looking unprofessional, but Coulter never looks dirty.

[VermontDem2004]

50. She looked alright to me?

I think Ann Coulter dresses appropriate but she is still unprofessional. I don't what "edge" is, but she was just looking herself even though I never seen herself look like that. I wouldn't go as far as saying she looked dirty.

[tjdee]

51. Well, she always looks ....Republican.

Her hair is too long and just lays there, and she dresses like a 'young hip Republican' which amounts to no style at all. I've noticed that at times her shirts are too low cut and her skirts are too short(IMO)--and none of them are fashionable. But, then, she has a nonexistent figure as well. Plus, she's a creep.

What passes for fashion in the GOP is really frightening.

But, I will say that Janeane and the blonde hair is not working for me. Or maybe it's the style of it--but I still think she's adorable and smart as a whip. I love her voice, nice and strong.

[RummyTheDummy]

66. She doesn't look like any Repuke I've ever seen....

And unfortunately I've seen more than my share in my short life. Young and old.

[DemLikr]

67. Coulter looks like an emaciated over the hill prostitute

One night on Hardball she was in a spaghetti strapped top and had her long hair forward over her shoulders...looked like she was sitting there naked. :puke:

[bearfartinthewoods]

56. she is representing our side

to the middle and undecided. there is no reason she has to look the way she does today. bohemian is one thing but truth be told, i deal with street juskies who are better pulled together than she is today.

she looks plain scarey and that's not helpful.

[VermontDem2004]

61. I doubt it

I deal with street junkies on a weekly basis and they are definately not more pulled together then she is. I thought she looked just fine, maybe it's your taste but I thought she looked alright.

[bearfartinthewoods]

71. my taste is bohemian or hippy or punk

right now, my hair is to my butt. she bear's has been longer than that or totally gone as in shaved head. it's not a matter of taste.
it's a matter of doing whatever look you are shooting for well.

i'd say she was shooting for what she-bear informs me is called shabby chic. she missed the mark.

[Wonk]

52. mp3 here for those who missed it

4.4 M

[Richardo]

58. Wonk - can you post a Quicktime? No MP3 player...

68. Thanks man!

Mucho appreciado.

[TheDonkey]

70. Thanks for the quicktime!

She did an excellent job. She needs to be put on staff or get her own show!

[SideshowScott]

53. Shes doing a frikken GREAT job!

And im not syaing that beacuse shes on the left..Shes asking the questions that want to ask yourself yet dont hear on the news shows beacuse they for some reason are too chickenshit of the right wing meida bully sytem to ask..SHes a bit rough aorund the edges but i dig that beacuse polished sometimes means holding back and playing it safe....I hope she comes back and fills in for another week or gets her own show
