Hardball talking about the Wilson Story

[Cush]

Chris: How can the White House deny the leak wasn't from them if they haven't investigated it?

[Cush]

1. Sen Mconnell is spinning

Let Ashcroft and the professionals do it

[proud patriot]

2. Chris is kicking butt asking the right questions

:bounce:

[Cush]

3. Chris to McConnell

IS there a battle between the CIA and the White House?

McConnel: This is presidential politics.......

[blm]

5. Presidential politics!!!!

Lautenberg answers, "It's about the LAW."


I knew they'd spin it into campaign politics. The candidates should keep a serious tone and only allude to this matter. Let the CIA, FBI and Congress handle it. It looks like the CIA won't drop it.

[Cush]

4. ugh

Ed Gelespie is coming up next, gee wonder what he'll do????

Chris: Is this more serious than Watergat?

Gelespie: IF true, I suppose...in terms of real world implications

[TacticalPeek]

7. Sweat.

[damnraddem]

16. More serious than Watergate? Hmm.

Both involve felonies. One was a burglary, and nothing of any value (certainly of any effect on the Election) was involved. All the punch was put into the case by a WH coverup.

This one involves treason, breaching security, putting CIA informants at risk of their lives. And there has been coverup, albeit ineffectual so far. Oh, I just can't decide which is more serious!

[FlashHarry]

6. Matthews: Worse than Watergate?

He has Gillespie in a corner.

[Cush]

8. ANd he said it

Wilson is partisan, he's donated to John Kerry

[FlashHarry]

10. Notice, though...

...he didn't say he was Clinton appointee. Must've scrubbed that one from the GOP talking points.

[VolcanoJen]

15. LMAO, FlashHarry!!

All day long on conservative Cincinnati talk radio, they've been spinning the "Well, Wilson was a CLINTON APPOINTEE" lie.

It does indeed seem they've backed off the lie a bit, eh?

:-)

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

19. Goddamn that Poppy!

[TacticalPeek]

13. Did Asskroft donate to aWol's campaign?

:evilgrin:

[damnraddem]

18. But what about Wilson's wife?

And what about the CIA 'assets'? Are they democrats, did they contribute to any Dem? Or are they too dead for any of that?

[janekat]

9. It's times like this that I appreciate Matthews - he goes for the

jugular when someone tries to b.s. him. Love it when he does it to the Pubs for a change.

[FlashHarry]

12. Proof he's a true whore!

Blows with the wind, just like Louis in Casablanca (though, the wind is no longer blowing from Vichy...)

[Q]

11. Asked and answered...

- Here's how it works: Right Wing Shill/Talking Head asks the question. Both sides answer. Republicans say Democrats are 'bashing Bush*' and being 'partisan'. Democrats disagree and say justice must be served.

- Since the RWingers scream louder and have more talking heads...people are left with the impression that the Democrats are blowing it out of proportion and 'attacking a popular president' during a time of war.

- Everyone goes back to sleep.

[VolcanoJen]

14. You know they must be having snowball fights in Hell...

... 'cause the Republicans just went SOFT ON CRIME.

Honestly... ARGGGHHHH! We need more people to show their blatant disrespect for personal responsiblility and the law.

Fuckin' hypocrites.

[FlashHarry]

17. You nailed it.

Now Tweety's stroking Frank Luntz--surprise, surprise. Boy, he just looooves the thought of an Ah-nold governorship. It's all about ratings. True whore.

[grasswire]

20. awwwk!

Rule of Law! Rule of Law!
