Someone just said BULLSHIT on air at CNN as L Dobbs went to Rove Story
I was listening to the Lou Dobbs Show as he intro'd a piece on Rove. The story was about the fully debunked Friday spin point about Rove being a consumer and not a leaker. As they cut away from Lou to the recorded story, I distinctly heard a female voice say "That's bullshit".

3. I appreciated the voice over
It's about time they started adding that disclaimer to the end of their stories.

The Dobbspin on the security vote could have used one as well.

4. Just sent feedback to Lou Dobbs:
If you fire the person who said "that's bullshit" on your show tonight I will never watch CNN again. If you did not broadcast bullshit, there would be no need for anyone to say that, so it is really your fault it happened.

12. From another DU thread... check it out.
Lou Dobbs Tonight, (7/15/05) as Lou was introducing a piece on the Rove story.

Lou says, "...Rove testifying that he first learned about Plame from columnist Robert Novak, a CNN contributor. Danna Bash reports." Immediately after that you can clearly hear a female voice on mic whispering "that's bullshit". Then Dana Bash continues with her report.

21. recommended ... absolutely f*cking hilarious
I bet she'll be in deep trouble, though. Right-wingers hate the truth.

All these pro-Rove articles, talking points, and reports are utter bullshit. Liberal media, my ass...

People who still support Bush and his henchmen are either complete f*cking morans, a bunch of evil crooks and liars, or psychopaths lacking any empathy and conscience.

26. Hahahahahahah!
That's just fabulous!

We should write and insist that they add a "description" to the end of all their stories! Not that we don't already recognize their bullshit when we see it, but it would make watching the news so much easier!

31. exaclty!
When I wrote them about it, I said something to that effect, that I really liked he extra something. Don't blame Dobbs for reporting waht he had...he's a good reporter...But do encourage the extra description! There should be a little voice in the background all the time to tell us what's bullshit and what's not!

34. Don't be diverted
Keep the focus on Rove and the coverup of Rove's leak and the coverup of the WMD vacuum.

Don't get diverted by sideshows of naught words. This is just the kind of thing that Rove likes to exploit as the man behind the curtain.

Put unrelenting pressure on the thin edge of the wedge, please.

Someone on CNN obliquely pointing out Rove's "bullshit" excuse that he got his info from Novak is a distraction? Huh?

Huh?


Huh?


Huh?

... and we can't also enjoy ourselves as Rove self-destructs?

Huh?

Excuse the heck out of us!

36. You are welcome to enjoy yourself
You are welcome to enjoy yourself, but if Rove is tossed off the ship, he has done his duty and Bush-Cheney and the Power-at-any-price party will steam full speed ahead and still control all three branches of government. Rove will still be only a phone call away from Bush, and loves it when people are distracted by high profile scandals. Of course he'd rather stay, but he will not lose any of his baby fat due to hunger.

I'm simply asking you to not lose sight of the larger issues: Bush-Cheney power politics, the WMD cover-up, US security, and the 2006 elections. Rove may be a stepping stone, but Impeach Bush-Cheney.

37. Naughty Word
I guess I think the biggest diversion of the moment is to get caught up in celebrating that somebody said a naughty word. It doesn't mean anything. It wouldn't mean any more or less if they had said "horse feathers". It wouldn't mean any more or less if they had not been heard on network TV. It is not worth remarking over the fact that somebody said a rather unremarkable word. It doesn't lend anymore weight to the case against Rove and it certainly doesn't lend anymore weight to the case against Bush-Cheney. Maybe if it was overheard in a Bush cabinet photo-op, but this is nothing of the sort. The person who uttered it has no political power. If they have any media power, they are already exercising it.

Read the title of this thread and think about whether anybody will remember it three days or three weeks from now. I would be amused if I didn't think of Republican media analysts chuckling over the fact that "liberal" blogs are jumping because somebody said a naughty word. What a nice little distraction. They are piling on all the distractions they can, like whether saying "wife" and not saying the maiden name or the married name is "identifying" and illegal.

As far as self-destruction of Rove goes, these are early days yet, and Rove may very well survive handily. Too soon to clink the beer mugs.

Have fun, but don't get distracted or lose focus. That it all I ask.
