Hardball to talk of Gannon (I missed the earlier show) NOW (after comm

[rodeodance]

ercial)

[rodeodance]

1. fake per Tweety--all are wondering how he got into the WH briefings

[rodeodance]

2. reality check---Scotty calls him Jeff (going over the webs now)

[rodeodance]

3. says the larger issue is access to the WH (controlled by the press

secretary and his staff). Had been turned down by the Hill.

[rodeodance]

4. 4th person in WH doing propaganda

[rodeodance]

reporters who ask touch questions get hardballed

[justiceischeap]

5. This is the best report I've seen yet

It is going into the Plame angle and about him getting access but Shuster keeps calling him Jeff Guckert.

[DainBramaged]

6. I swore off Tweety but I'm watching this now.

[rodeodance]

7. Dana Milbank--says a 'little strange" what Scotty says

[rodeodance]

8. oh god--Pat Buchannan!! Says WH handled itself very well!!

[rodeodance]

9. Tweety asks Pat. B. why does he defend him? assums Secret Service

knows who he is.

[DainBramaged]

10. Pat Pukeinhishand is full of shit

Cover up, cover up, cover up.


"Stupid questions". Tweety

[rodeodance]

12. Pat B. was full of it tonight!!

[rodeodance]

13. Hey, I think Tweety did pretty good tonight don't you?

[DainBramaged]

17. Tweety has no patience with 'fake journalists'

being that he is considered a journalist, in spite of the shit that usually bubbles out of his pie hole.

[justiceischeap]

20. Pat B sums up his take

He was a ringer for Nixon.

[justiceischeap]

11. Tweety says this would be scandalous in the Clinton era (eom)

[DainBramaged]

14. It has reached the MSM finally

Let's see how long it stayes in the radar.

[rodeodance]

15. we are all so used to the WH decieving us--that this ringer in the WH is

no big deal --according to Pat B.

[jojo54]

16. I missed it earlier too

but Pukcannan really makes me sick. And honestly, I'm kinda surprised that Chris is finally talking about something controversial on his show. It seems lately he's been avoiding any controversy about the rePukes.

[rodeodance]

18. well, the WH is mum on all this thus far --wonder wrhere it will lead?

[rodeodance]

19. Millbank says lots of other 'foils' in the briefings.

[rodeodance]

21. Pat B. says it is all harmless!! " Pat is defending the undefensable" per

Twitty!!

[justiceischeap]

22. See my post #20 and that explains Pat's attitude (eom)

[rodeodance]

24. yes, it does explain--but Pat B. misses the point --Who granted access

to this slime Garrot??

[justiceischeap]

25. He doesn't want it to go that far...

Because the administration's past and present would have to put their dirty laundry out to air.

[jojo54]

23. Millbank says other "foils" in briefings

but this isn't the point. Pat B. is defending this action as if it's normal and acceptable. If the SS knows this person has an alias, is not really a reporter and does not represent a credible news organization, then we are in DEEP trouble.
