Scarface Country: Prager gets his ASS handed to him!!

[Bake]

Dennis Prager tries to trash Rather about how a "real journalist" would have interviewed Saddam Hussein. The liberal woman on the panel (Rachel Maddow?) proceeded to rip him five new assholes -- "You want to talk about REAL JOURNALISM? REALLY? The Bush Administration pays Armstrong Williams (and she names all the others that we know of) plus the Gannon/Guckert/"whatever his name is" AND YOU REALLY WANT TO TALK ABOUT REAL JOURNALISM????"

Prager tried to inject that Armstrong Williams always acknowledged that he was a conservative, to which the liberal (going for the throat) says, "YES BUT HE WAS PAID BY THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION!!!"

Scarface, of course, cut to commercial while Prager just drooled on himself! It was a thing of beauty!!!

1. Woo hoo! Great news! Things are beginning to get interesting...

[rodeodance]

9. I have seen this Rachel person on before. She knows her stuff and fires

back great ones.

[WestHoustonDem]

2. If it was Rachel Maddow she's one of the hosts of AAR's

Unfiltered and she's awesome!

[Bozita]

13. She's a master surgeon who plies her trade ...

... swiftly and seemingly effortlessly

[ClarkUSA]

3. Excellent! Thanks.

I hate Scumbag, but I'll watch his crummy show rerun for this.

Get that liberal woman's name and tell the DNC to book her everywhere.

4. Lionel of the Lionel Show often parses Scar's programs

Lionel streams from WOR. The link will be on the Latest page here at DU very soon at the top of the hour. As someone advised me, Lionel is more independent than progr/lib. But I like many of his opinions and he really nails Scarb. He and his producer watch the show from the studio every night before their radio show.

5. Rachel was on the Joey The Intern Killer Show??

Very cool. She's a co-host of AAR's Unfiltered. Good for her!!

NGU.

6. Any neocon drooling is a thing of beauty

and the monkey does it best!

Kick for Ms. Maddow!

[AlCzervik]

Good for her!! Was Hugh the albino Hewitt on as well?

Disneyland lets him broadcast form there sometimes, i haven't heard of aar being offered a remote from Disney, maybe i should start an email campaign.

7. Intern killer could not end...

that segment quickly enough!

[ginnyinWI]

8. now if only anyone were watching msnbc...

That cable network trails a distant last place among the three cable news networks. :eyes:

10. It was Rachel Maddow, and she was brilliant!

The little woman kicked asses of three grown men!! HA!! And I DO MEAN KICKED THEIR ASSES!! Prager didn't know whether to shit or go blind! I suspect he's changing his drawers as we speak!

Rachel tore it up. She was great! Catch the repeat if you can. It's worth puking a time or two over Scarface.

11. Rachel Maddow was ROCKIN'!!!!

Scabborough almost always packs his panel 2 or 3 right wingnuts to one lone liberal. Rachel ripped 'em up good & proper!!! Joe should know by now that anyone he lets on from Air America will not only hold their own, they'll make the RW'ers look like complete asses!
(Make sure to catch Rachel on AAR's "Unfiltered" weekdays 9-noon ET)

12. What a great comeback.

Pretty much: "Even his conservatism is in question because he took money to say it."

[immoderate]

14. Dennis Prager is enlightening...

...if you've ever wondered what shit would say if it could talk.:freak:

Of course, after Gannongate, we have to be careful about using the word "tool" ...

[moggie12]

21. Excellent -- think Joe will invite her back? hmmmm........ n/t

[Hugin]

23. **** Disclaimer ****

My username "Prag" has nothing to do with Prager.

It's short for "Pragmatic". Pragmatism is America's
contribution to the world of philosophy.

Nothing more.

26. Never crossed my mind, but understand your apprehension.

On Social Security

PRAGER: "....They don‘t have a plan. All they know is that they hate George Bush.

SCARBOROUGH: Rachel, what is the plan?

MADDOW: The plan is to call a spade a spade. And when George W. Bush says that Social Security is exhausted and it‘s collapsing and it‘s in a crisis and we need to do something about it immediately, he needs to level with the American people about the numbers that he is using.

He needs to explain why the Congressional Budget Office, nonpartisan, doesn‘t agree with him about the claims about the crisis. And he needs to talk about the fact that these personal accounts, the privatizing part of it, doesn‘t fix Social Security, doesn‘t make it any more fiscally solvent. So why is he proposing those? That‘s for an ideological reason, not a fiscal reason. That‘s the reality here.

27. Is it me or was there a little scrub a dub on the transcript?

The dialog looks different than what was posted last night.

Could be that it was just hearsay last night. But it looks different.
