Why Is Nora O'Donnell, MSNBC Spending These Past Two
days attacking Cindy yesterday. Tonight, she wanted to make the point that Bill Clinton did nothing about Osama.

After talking to this past CIA Agent, she says I don't think the American people know that like she wants to get the point out that Clinton is to blame for not getting him as he had more chances than Bush.

1. That's what she's going for, blaming Osama/9/11 on Clinton, but not a peep
out of her when Condi was muttering about "traditional hijackings".

4. Bill's hands piloted one plane while his penis piloted the other.

7. and safely parachuted out of each, got on a third plane
and left the country (for I think Australia) so that he could have an iron tight alibi - but somehow people found out!

15. Actually, and dont tell anyone this, but Osama Bin Laden is really
Clinton in a beard and turban. Damn good disquise. His Sadaam disquise was pretty good too (his wig didnt come off when they pulled him from that hole).

5. Then the Ex-CIA guy was telling
her how screwed up this war it, how it is going to be long and bloody, and it was a terrible decision to go to war. She said nothing, stupid ass, just sat there and looked at him...

8. did you see the end, though?
She prompted the CIA guy by saying that "George Bush has made the case that Iraq is a central front on the war on terror..." and he BLASTED that. Said that Bin Laden was a man and an organization, Iraq was a movement and that the decision on Iraq was a disaster.

Did you see her face fall? It's just too bad they had to cut away since the show was ending.

10. Michael Scheuer threw a cold bucket of water on her head
and shut her up at the end of the interview. She was trying to get him to back the President in his war in Iraq. Scheuer instead said that thanks to the Iraq invasion, Bin Laden has been transformed into one man leading a group of terrorists into a movement that's sweeping the Middle East and that the Iraq War was a disaster that will lead to a long and bloody war.

O'Donnell had nothing left to say and thanked him and got him off the air.

14. It's pretty obvious, orders from headquarters, its time to pull
out all stops to ensure the bad press reviews begin to turn around, if not, I feel we are heading for another showdown with the fear mongers. God forbid...

16. She is auditioning to replace Scarborough once he leaves to run for
the Senate. I think I am only half kidding.

18. I don't think she actually tried to take him on because it was more
like she does not have a clue about anything. It seems she is given questions to ask and that is it. Yesterday, she let Hitchins go on and on attacking Cindy and she said nothing. Just like she will open a door and let things go.

She got a shock today with this guy when he said this war was a disaster.

She certainly does not have a law degree because she did not know what his answer would be evidently

21. I see your point but it makes me ask - huh?
Since she's a WH reporter, one would assume she'd be more in the know as to who he is. He's been on tv for some time now after his book. But I do agree that she must have gotten questions to ask. I only saw her yesterday. After that, my opinion of her dropped from where it was. I figured she could at least hold up her end.

22. I know, I was shocked myself. I honestly thought she was a more
fair minded and intelligent reporter than she has shown lately. What do you think is going on. Is the fact Bush is tanking daily that the WH is calling out the corporate media to assist in someway.

I don't know what to make of it. She was so blatant or sort of like a robot, ask questions, nothing else. Tonight she got what she got.

24. You ask - what do I think is going on?
I think that I can't trust anyone in the msm. When I think I can, I need to squint my eyes and just say that they're really good at fooling me.

For some time, I've wanted to post a list of who I do trust. I think it's these people:
Peter Werbe
Mike Malloy
Thom Hartmann
Don't laugh but I've come to trust Janeane and Sam on AAR. They never waver. In the clinches, they know the score.
Bernie Ward
Ray Talafierro
Rachel Maddow
Bob Herbert of the NY Times
Paul Krugman

I don't have Randi or Al Franken on there because no matter what they're championing, it becomes too much about them, personally. Anyone who tells me that I'm hearing it first from them can now just take one giant scissor step backward. I'll listen to them but they aren't in my trust column.

I know you didn't ask for all this. But I think that what's happened is that I've also been duped into hoping certain people might have a chance of being decent. But I've been fooled. I've been pied too many times sitting in my own home, minding my own business when these rat bastards pull off the veneer like Nora O'D this week.
