UNDERBELLY STORY
Bolton, How Bush Handles Appointments


If Bush gives Bolton a recess appointment, that means he doesn’t care about democratic opposition one whit. He also doesn’t care about embarassing his party and pressing on with a complete disaster of a nomination despite everything it’s cost them thus far. Do you think the chamber of commerce and the oil companies and the pharmaceutical companies and all the other people calling the shots for the senate’s agenda want them to spend more time talking about mister crazy captain kangaroo moustache crazy man? No! They’ve wasted so much time and political capital on this guy already. But Bush doesn’t care. Where they’re going to have to pay for this is the 06 elections. When Bush isn’t running, but every member of the house of representatives, and lots of senators, are. Caring about your hard-right agenda, and damn the consequences for the downticket guys on the ballot.

I love Rachel........

I wish they would let her have her own shown on MSNBC. She blows Tucker away when it comes to knowledge of the facts and personality.

3. I 100% agree....she is more talented that any one on the "News" right now

I just cant believe how slanted to the right every news channel is right now. Rachel would be so great to have to represent our side.

1. It's a lot easier now that Bush is "dictator" in chief.

It sure is beginning to feel that way.

2. First

we have to make sure we even get a real and honest vote before we can win. America needs to wake up.

[Roxy66]

4. I download her show every day...they need to put her back on in daytime

5. Sent an e-mail to MSNBC

Asking for "The Rachel Maddow Show"

6. MSNBC fails to give Ms. Maddow credit where it's due

The on-air promos for "The Situation" shows Carlson, without Ms. Maddow, along with this quote:

"really does deserve to be watched." -New York Magazine

However the original, in-context quote says something very different.

"I hate it when people make fun of Tucker Carlson for wearing a bow tie; it’s superficial ridicule, and what’s worse, it preempts the more genuine ridicule this ruling-class hate-monger deserves. Having been chased from CNN when the Crossfire shoutfest became a media target, he’s resurfaced on MSNBC with The Situation With Tucker Carlson— a show that really does deserve to be watched.


Not, certainly, for Carlson, who less than two weeks into his run had already asserted, “What bothers me is that . . . the civil-rights movement never ended . . . White racism, while it still exists, is not the force it once was,” and managed to sound sad and wistful about this state of affairs. No, the reason to watch this Situation is the program’s decision to have Air America radio host Rachel Maddow represent the left. Maddow, unlike Crossfire’s toothless hacks Paul Begala and James Carville, actually articulates leftist, progressive, sometimes even radical ideas. This immediately distinguishes her from everyone else on television since Abbie Hoffman circa The Dick Cavett Show. In her initial appearances, Maddow has made quick, cogent cases against John Bolton’s U.N. nomination and the No Child Left Behind initiative; when Carlson suggested that Guantánamo Bay detainees had it pretty cushy because there was now a dentist on the premises, she scoffed fiercely, “Well, when you hold people in captivity for life, you occasionally have to extract their teeth.”

9. Wow...now THAT is an amazing "pull quote" from someone else's review. eom

[DS1]

7. Sounds like an 8 year-old coined it

I'd be embarrassed to use that in a discussion.

[Stevepol]

8. They not concerned in the least about elections. That's for

Diebold to handle. If they had the least concern about getting elected, they wouldn't have done half the things they've already done. FIRST PRIORITY: Get fair elections.

DEMAND VOTER-VERIFIED PAPER BALLOTS AND REQUIRED AUDITS FOR ALL ELECTIONS THAT USE ELECTRONIC VOTING MACHINES TO COUNT VOTES.
