Did anyone see Lanny Davis (Clinton Lawyer) on CNN w/Blitzer?

[KoKo]

He was saying that Dems need to "back off" the Rove/Libby thing. That Bush should apologize to Wilson/Plame and "wait for the Prosecutor" to have his final say.

I'm watching him...and wanting to throw rocks at Lanny & my monitor...but he actually pused Wolfie into pointing out all the crap the Bush Lies have caused: from Scotty's saying Bush said he'd fire people down to today when Scotty says that "we have to wait for the final report of the Independent Counsel." ...blank...blank...no comment ..no comment...repeat...repeat ....repeat.

But Lanny said Dems should NOT come out at this point and confront the Repugs...because it's better to let them hang on their own rope...but that Bush should "apologize for for the outing of a CIA Agent."

What do you all think about this?

1. apologize?

He can resign and stand trial for treason if he wants to make amends. "Apologies" are irrelevant to this.

2. All the PR dueling that is going on is somewhat irrelevent

The only talk that matters at this point is what is said in front of that Grand Jury.

The Democrats should feel free to throw a few haymakers if they feel it will help them politically, but the case itself won't be affected by anything that is said in the media.

3. Smooth. He's pushing responsibility for the leak onto Bush*.

(Not holding my breath for the apology)

I'd prefer that Rove is still in the employ of the administration when he's indicted.

4. Lanny is smooth--and did a great job of suggesting that Bush

is the one ultimately responsible.

5. If the Repugs

had stepped back and said nothing about Clinton I'd agree with him. But we had 8 years of unrelenting crap. Guess they think we've forgotten.

6. I had "mixed feelings" about his spiel....Having heard Tom Daschle say

the same thing after Bush stole the Election 2000 and going into the "Mid-Term Elections" that he cautioned Dems to pull back..and give the FUCKERS the Noose to hang themselves.

Here we are in 2005...Daschle got defeated due in part to Jeff Gannon/Guckerts work for Rove and he's making millions and his "rope to hang them" is frayed and rotten out there somewhere and has not netted one Repug Neck!

So..when Lanny says ...wait! hold back! don't speak out...and yet every day our Dems are trashing Howard Dean...I do wonder what the F**k our party stands for! :shrug:

7. I think he probably means Dem Senators and other spokespeople.

Personally, I think some Dems have excellent sytles of dealing with propaganda. Podesta is excellent, Blumenthal, Conason, Dean and others . They talk straight. They phrase issues in original ways. They don't use hackneyed and predictable arguments.
