1. Started out as segment on Tampa Bay Bucs using WMD's
in their marketing. Kyra Phillips is going crazy trying to keep him from calling bush a liar.

8. Sorry, the phone rang, and I missed the end of the segment.
But this political commentator has a British accent. He said Bush LIED about weapons of mass destruction, said the press was being really easy on Bush. Sure, everyone rallied around him after 9-11, knowing he was a couple of tacos short of a (??? I didn't catch that, but it was funny), but everybody still hoped Bush would pull it together and lead the country. Now Tony Blair will probably lose his job because of the lies leading up to the war, and Bush is getting a pass.

Anyhow, this guy was coming on strong, and Kyra Phillips actually took him to task for criticizing *. What a ho'.

7. I just heard that exchange!
Edited on Wed Aug-27-03 02:59 PM by cat_girl25
That liberal guy with the english accent is great. I love it when he's on tv. I visited the bucaneers website to see the wmd spoof...I think it was a great idea. Only wingnuts will think it makes bush* and company look like fools. When the right wing guy was talking, it didn't take 4 seconds before he blabbered on about the Sept. 11 anniversary. Repukes are really pathetic. He also said how us leftists will eat crow when the news will come out real soon about the wmd. What the heck is that about? Why would they hold onto the wmd, if they had found it??

11. ha ha, the freepers have had this delusion for the longest time
I've been seeing it for a while over at their site--they "can't wait" till BushCo plays his WMD trump card, like he has this big surprise planned that will "show everybody a thing or 2." They live in a perpetual state of willful denial. What a bunch of dorks.

15. It Was Martin Lewis !

The guys name is martin lewis, he is from england. He ripped Bush a new one, the
dumb CNN bimbo kept tring to change the subkect and cut him off.

He would not let her do it, he just forged on whether she liked it or not. Then they
got some right-wing nazi on the phone to counter his arguments. He called martin a
stalanist, martin said the right-wingers can dish it out but they cant take it.

He said clinton was impeached over sex, yet Bush is still in office after lying us into a
war in Iraq.

Martin must read the internet, he sounded like a british james carville. He was clear
and to the point, he had the talking points down pat, then he repeated them over
and over.

The people in the control room were probably shitting in their pants, I would bet
this guy never gets on the air again.

His website:

Welcome to this little nook of the Internet... this tiny corner of cyberspace.
This is the Official Website of humorist Martin Lewis. The British-born
Lewis has been based in America since 1982 and is thus truly RESIDENT
Of The UNITED STATES!

This website presents news and information about Martin Lewis and his
many current and future projects - including the archive of his columns
written for the website of Time Magazine. It also provides links to other
websites created and hosted by Martin Lewis.

25. What the freepers are so excited about is David Kay.
According to them, Kay has amassed mountains of documentation and interviews with Iraqi scientists which prove Iraqi had plans to use biochemical weapons against the US. He was going to release the report, but was asked to wait until around 9-11.

If you google Kay+WMD you will see hundreds of articles on the issue.

28. David Kay ....
Sat in his chair at CNN during the run-up to the war, and INSISTED that WMD were there ...

Then, he insisted they would be found .....

Then: ... He was hired by the Bush Administration to find them ...

Oh yes: ... David Kay will find them: ... as SOON as he can get enough soldiers to bury it without getting severely ill ....

David Kay promoted the foregone conclusion that WMD were in Iraq even though he wasnt actually there in 6 years ..... He is begging the question with this presumption ....

14. WMD
Something on internet yesterday about WMD having been traced to Syria, but naturally such a lawless region that they cannot go in. But they suddenly have pictures of these trucks going to and then over the border prior to the war. I guess this is the big September surprise. Do they think the American populace is a bunch of dumbies? Well, some are acting like it.

18. I don't think this is what CNN had in mind when this segment began?
Edited on Wed Aug-27-03 03:20 PM by NNN0LHI
I think this was a case of things gone wrong for CNN. The newsreader sat their with her mouth open catching flies for 5 minutes while this British guy called Bush everything from AWOL to an outright liar. He won't be back on again. I am sure someone from the White House is on the phone as I write this making sure that transcript is not posted on line. Betcha.

20. You are probably right..
They won't have Martin Lewis on again in a long time. Kyra, or whatever her name was, kept trying to hush him up and everything but he kept going on and on about dummy Bush*. LMAO! I wish I was home and recorded it. He was FANTASTIC. He sounds like a DUer!

Check out the Fox Take back the media thread... for the suck up TV media to screen one left-field attack on the CIC * might be considered unfortunate. Two is getting careless..

And the transcript was posted.. there is an extract in a subsequent thread.
