Hell yes it was appropriate!

1. No, it wasn't

I'm not complaining that we have the info, but it wasn't appropriate or fair.

2. What hypocrites - did they ask this about Monica and that fright whose

name I can't remember (envy me)?

edited to add: Linda Tripp! Damn. Thanks mandyky!

3. No, it was not appropriate.

As much as I hate Bush's guts, I do not think it was fair for a friend to do that.

[mandyky]

4. Hmm, wasn't Linda Tripp supposedly Monica's friend?

The hypocrisy never ends!

5. Not voting. Assumes the tapes were not fabricated as diversion.

The poll is a diversion. Stay away.

[Benhurst]

8. Yeah. I think they were fabricated to be used just as they have been. NT

6. I guess I'd change the framing of the question

My view is that anyone who'd record a conversation with me is not my Friend

[Dinger]

16. I Agree - The Question Was Framed To Avoid The Real

Issue - bu$h's lies, hypocracy, etc.

Maybe they could have asked if it was appropriate for bu$h to take part in illegal activity and not hold himself (& his thugs) to a different standard than everyone else. Or better yet, they could have asked if it is appropriate that bu$h isn't in jail?

7. Wasn't the guy from the Religious Right?

[PDittie]

9. Nope

Imagine how you'd feel if it happened to you.

Still, it's out there now, and I want to hear them. All of them.

[whistle]

10. Without Bush's knowledge, why is the White House not suing

...this guy Wean?

[skids]

11. appropriately representative of republic ethics, it was. n/t

[DarienComp]

12. oh holy hell.

Everytime something potentially embarrassing to the Bush Administration somehow manages to make it onto the evening news, the corporate media comes back with "Does this go too far? Does that go too far? Did Wead go too far by recording conversations with Bush?Did bloggers go too far by investigating Jeff Gannon?" This after gleefully reporting that "troubling questions remain" about Bill Clinton and Monica, Clinton and Juanita Broderick, Clinton and cocaine, Clinton and marijuana, Clinton and...

13. Not appropriate, but I'm glad it happened.

[saltpoint]

14. Love the Johnny Cash image and lyrics --

-- but no, people should not secretly tape others. It's overt deception.

Linda Tripp Syndrome.

15. NOBODY SECRETLY RECORDED ANYTHING! manufactured reality

Don't fall for it!
''We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And
while you're studying that reality -- judiciously, as you will -- we'll
act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and
that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors . . . and you,
all of you, will be left to just study what we do.''
Bush aide to Ron Suskind
