Monica Crowley MSNBC's Coast to Coast...is pushing the RW
Edited on Thu Jul-14-05 11:51 AM by rasputin1952
talking points/spin...it is embarrassing to say the least.

WSJ's jughead positioning Wilson as a tyrant/liar.

1. I believe that this is
an important and pivotal time in journalistic history. This is when the real journalists will break away from the stenographers. The Rove/Plame scandal is so deadly serious that those "journalists" that stick with the "talking points" will be shown for what they are to the wide awake American public: enablers and propagandists. Americans are facing the horror that a sitting president and this brain have seriously jeopardized national security for pure revenge. Lies brought us to war. Yes, WE know this and have known this from the start, but the American public is now taking note.

3. Did you catch the smug smile
when she thought she scored a point - when Alter was effectively debunking the lie that his wife sent Wilson and Crowley asked 'then who authorized it', Alter said someone higher up? She thought she had a gotcha. She just looked stoopid.

4. Crowley suffers from ethical syphilis ... she's a pus-headed reichbot
That Ron Reagan sits there with a vacuous grin while she spews her venom and filibusters every moderate or mildly left wing guest is reprehensible. Her vile screeching is like hearing the eagle's talons scrape across the blackboard of reason.

5. See those bags under her eyes?
It's from late nights struggling to memorize the long list of lies to be spewed the next day. :)

6. I heard her earlier this morning on MSNBC.
DR. Crowley (as she will insist - PhD in foreign studies), has got the RW talking points down. The most horrific part of what I heard this morning - she said the Niger story was TRUE and doesn't know why Bushco backed away from it, since Britain still stands by the report. I expect to hear more of thattype of spin.

8. That's what she's paid to do over there at MSNBC
She's a former Fox News hack who never seems to quite understand what she's saying, but she says it all anyway.

9. She seems to be emotionless...I get the impression she is real ...
dare I say it, "bitch":hide:. I'm not trying to be silly here, but really, she has the 'air of superiority' that just reeks from every pore. The arrogance is repulsive, and I would put her in the "Ice Queen" category.

I am no fan of Ron Regan, he tosses softballs to often, but I can easily despise Crowley, she is the epitomy of brainless 'eyecandy'...:puke:

Gawd...she has a permanent frown/pursed lips look....:scared:

12. Yesterday, three of the four were smiling and laughing
at something while up there in the corner sat Harmonica... stonefaced.

13. Can you imagine having a casual conversation w/her?
Edited on Thu Jul-14-05 11:54 AM by rasputin1952
What could one talk about? It would be difficult to gauge any kind of response.

Looks like she has the sense of humor of a rock!

16. No. I'd last all of 45 seconds before
turning to my husband and telling him to get me out of here before I do something we'll all regret. No doubt, she would label me outrageous for breathing the same air...and in a time of WAR! no less.

I also can't stand her hoyty-toyty (how do you spell that anyway?), high and mighty, patronizing monotone voice.

10. Ron Reagan sits there with a look like 'You guys know she is full of shit'
But I wish he would just lay into her. Those looks don't say all that needs to be said. Be like Jon Stewart last night, he wasn't letting that author of that book get away with anything.

14. That was great..he was nearly begging to be let off the hook....
And Stewart was chomping at the bit, but showed some restraint.

Classic, "Why do you go after celebrities, when then people in power do more destroy the nation than all others put together?"

11. New business: Ebbers/WorldCom...
Edited on Thu Jul-14-05 11:52 AM by rasputin1952
Since Ebbers was convicted, Crowley says this is a good thing he got 25 years..is she looking for a reprieve?...:shrug:
