Matt Cooper on Meet the Press Today

[Armstead]

[seemslikeadream]

1. Thanks

Watching it now

:popcorn:

[Sydnie]

2. He is singing a song for us in a key we can understand

"There may be more sources". Scooter Libby and Rove were the sources to begin with, but there may be more!! :woohoo:

SC knows what he knows now.

[DemonFighterLives]

3. Matt called it a War On Wilson

That kind of sums it up.

Mehlman on now flapping his gums. Novak told Rove. Wilson wrong on numerous accounts.

Now Mehman is attempting to trash Kerry, Clinton and Reid. Says they owe Rover an apology.

[Sydnie]

6. Mehlman is trying to sound neutral about Fitzgerald but

He just sounded so partisan by not answering Russerts question about not blasting Fitzgerald if he did indite someone.

You suck, Mehlman.

[DemonFighterLives]

11. I agree, he sucks

He claims to like Fitzgerald, but will not say if he will support Fitz potential indictments.

[ClintonTyree]

27. Yeah, Melmac really danced around that question, didn't he?

He' tear into Fitz like a rare steak when the time comes, and it IS COMING! What a douchebag that guy is, the perfect representative for the Party of greed and corruption. :puke:

[DemonFighterLives]

31. We can be very happy that he is not in our party

Dean is 10X better if not more.

[liveoaktx]

4. Didn't Mehlman HEAR Cooper? Repeating stuff that even on this

show are now debunked.

[xultar]

5. Once the talking points are printed there is no going back.

[DoYouEverWonder]

7. That's because just like parrots

they have very small brains.

[DemonFighterLives]

8. He has talking points to follow

:rofl:

Podesta bringing up the fraudulent yellow cake claims.

Podesta saying Mehlman is just Attack, Attack, Attack.
McClellens credibility is in shreds, Rover's credibility is in shreds.

Luskind not sure if Rove learned it from another reporter.

[Al-CIAda]

23. The 9/11 Comission has discredited Wilson, Cooper, and Miller

(if she turns), and whoever says anything to contradict Karl (yeah, thats the ticket!). Furthermore, all this is a partisan witch hunt led by an impartial upstanding Republican prosecutor.

:+

[liveoaktx]

9. Podesta saying that Luskin backtracking about where Rove learned it

maybe from an aide maybe from a source. With Mehlman sitting there listening:-

[Justice]

36. I heard that too - huge

b/c makes both WP and NYT look silly for publishing those big breaking stories on Friday.

When I read those I thought, when will these guys stop just publishing what the RW tells them to.

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

10. note to Podesta and any and all Dem talking heads:

Let Mehlman blather on as much as he wants and he does and boy does he sound ridiculous. Look incredulous and concerned and then say to whatever host you are talking to:

"Ken Mehlman has just plainly made the case that personal and party loyalty are of greater concern to him and the White House then our national security, and the revealing of classified information."

Tim was actually somewhat prepared this morning and had a copy of the classified policy manual with the form in it about how to handle classified information. I was glad to see that.

Mehlman looked like he isn't up on the latest and he wasn't watching the set in the green room I guess when Matt Cooper pretty much destroyed all the RNC talking points so lovingly crafted and dispersed all week.

Podesta was just ok

[liveoaktx]

12. Amazed that Russert is actually pushing back on Mehlman

how come Scotty talked first and not now? "Is that not being involved?"

[liveoaktx]

14. Podesta to Mehlman's "Not Involved"-That's Absurd and the

American public knows that

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

25. You know, come to think of it

why don't people just laugh out loud when they start saying absolute crap. I mean in cases like this where it's just so in your face and Alice in Wonderland. Video replays of moments like these are going to provide a lot of entertainment in the near-future. (That really is one problem of altered Republican reality - the video cameras are only catching our real-life, real time 3D version of existence. Bill Frist denies his Senate Floor diagnosis but a million video replays refute him.)

Ken Mehlman talked way too fast and I did think I started to see beads of flop sweat.

[KittyWampus]

32. That's My Advice As Well. And Wesley Clark Has Learned That.

he gives this totally disarming, good natured laugh.

Not mean or sarcastic.

Just amused.

:)

[Lecky]

33. It's what I do, I can't help but laugh

It's amazing the crap that will come out their mouths.

If I were Ken Mehlman, I wouldn't make any public appearances to discuss this case, he comes across as a moron. What is he going to do if any indictments are made? That will be fun to watch!

[kittenpants]

13. Mehlman is such a lying loser...

Tim is actually giving him hell & he's crumbling.

[TexasLady]

22. lol this is the first time Ive seen Mehlman

what a smarmy little twit,...he reminds me of my little brother, age seven, coming up with a doozy to Mom about how he didnt stick his hands in the cookie jar, with chocolate chips smeared all over his face!

:rofl:

[Stephanie]

15. So Cooper says he FIRST learned VP was CIA from Rove

What about Rove's saying he only CONFIRMED what Cooper already knew from another source?

[kittenpants]

16. "Karl Rove is a good man, an honest man..."

according to Mehlman. well, okay... how could I have thought otherwise. :puke:

[Lecky]

34. JESUS, have these people no shame?

How can anyone say that about Rove with a straight face?

[liveoaktx]

17. Mehlman is pathetic-only tricks in the bag are Wilson smears and Dem slams

Podesta says Bush says he would fire leakers, NOT lawbreakers. ....

[Sydnie]

18. Hey Mehlman, Wilson was RIGHT

They didn't buy any yellow cake you butthead. He told the truth about the most important part of this whole story. Your WH (notice he pointed to himself when talked about "this WH") LIED us into a WAR you scumsucking bottom feeder!

And, what is with Mehlman's eyes? He can't seem to stay focused on Russerts face... he keeps looking around like he is reading cue cards. Shifty eyed asshole.

[Stephanie]

19. Cooper says there are MORE sources than Rove & Libby

He's pretty nervous up there. Says he doesn't want to get into who else, but the GJ knows what he knows.

[DemonFighterLives]

20. Mehlman looks like a pocket gopher

His cheeks pucker when he is blabbing.

He can actually say with a straight face that this administration cooperates.

[crispini]

21. Ken Mehlman was spinning like a top.

:crazy:

[kittenpants]

24. wow, Mehlman is now bragging about the defecit!

he is truly desperate.

[Vinca]

35. Here's a thought about the wonderful deficit news.

The price of gas is through the roof, gas is taxed, taxes offset deficit . . . badabing, badaboom . . . deficit goes down and Shrub and his band of thieves have nothing to do with it.

[crispini]

26. "Watergate wasn't just about a break in, it was about a mentality."

Wow, sounds JUST like today!

[Sydnie]

29. Bernstien is right

It is about the whole picture, not just one action or one person. It's about the honesty of the whole administration.

[Sydnie]

28. Mehlman just summed up their position

"when you don't have something to offer - insult, when you don't have positive agendas - smear and attack." Sound just about right for what they have been doing to Wilson.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

30. Woodward "Where did Rove hear his info, from a reporter"

Now, the question is, don't you think that Rove knew this before Novak talked to him, considering the state department memo was being circulated prior to Rove talking to Novak? Could Rove been have kept out of that loop. I don't think so.

[bunny planet]

37. Rove is not kept out of ANY loop.

I'm sure this is not the first time he's had access to classified information, and not the first time he's used it. It's just the first time he got caught.

[liveoaktx]

38. Vid clip up

Click on Category Plame and Rove

[katusha]

39. here's a page out of the repubs book

everytime mehlman starts going on about joe wilson this and joe wilson that attack points the response should be to go after mehlman himself, "you worked for Rove during this period", "what did you know about this leak", "did you play any role in the leak" etc., etc.
see. it's easy to play the kill the messenger game.
