37. Holy cow! It was $379K only 30 minutes ago.

6. Thanks for the info! I hadn't heard.

one functioning brain cell. Somehow intelligence just doesn't cut the mustard.

9. Do people not see Bush's press conferences?
Edited on Thu Feb-05-04 10:30 PM by Jack_Dawson
He can't put together a single sentence. What if Clinton spoke like that?

Look, I'm not judging because I hate speaking in front of people so I understand fumbling for words and such, but I'm not the Leader of the Free World!

12. I can't speak in front of people either, but this is different.
* is unfit intellectually and psychologically for the job SCOTUS selected him to fill. We have to get him O-U-T.

14. Did you dig those clips of Shrub firmly mouthing cliches?
I wish I could Nexis for all the RW claptrap about Clinton 'biting his lip', mocking his intelligence and empathy.

There were some few seconds of aWol sucking his lips inside out, way better than Cheeta.

He's been doing more labial fidgeting recently. The maturing false president.

Looks like he is trying to look warm and fuzzy. Who could think thecold hearted creep was warm and fuzzy? Only someone like Dick C.

Expect to see him drooling while his mouth violently twitches during future press conferences! :D

13. "Blasting the media" ain't his style. Clark sucks at whining. He's a doer.
He's a leader. Leaders don't whine. Only Bill Bennet whines. Oh, and Rush Limbaugh. And Bob Novak. And Bob Dole. And Richard Perle. And all those blonde spokesmodels they've been breeding in captivity.

21. You mean
"There's no whining in leadership?" :7 That was a VERY nice interview! Aaron Brown had an email exchange with a Clark supporter yesterday. The blogger must have made Aaron feel guilty. :bounce: Aaron was using RW talking points in his reply...Is Clark a Democrat? He voted for Reagan and Bush I, ect.... he said that all the bad coverage was Clark's own fault. :eyes: He was awfully gracious tonight though.

Go Wes!

34. Office of Special Plans
The separate intelligence group set up by Cheney-Rumsfeld-Perle-Wolfowitz to cherry-pick what they need for PNAC.

39. Office of special plans or something.
I don't know the whole story, but from what I gather, it is a Cheney group of special ops. Rumor is that they were the ones to manipulate the intel (Did I get that right?) for the Iraq invasion.

31. Hey that's a good article
and I can *accept* their rationale there for saying Edwards is second, even if I don't like it.

20. We should all write to Aaron Brown and
thank him for a fair (for once) interview. Gave him good questions and let him talk and explain his position. Clark really did a good job.

23. Aaron is Cool
He's my favourite anchor. Plus he used to work with Clark. He's the anti-Woodruff.

I think Aaron likes Wes
During the war, they were on together every night, & sometimes they just stayed on for hours & hours.

25. I liked it
and the story about Dean after it.

I wish Wes had talked more about his rivals--unload on Kerry and Edwards and their records--but I understand why he talked about Chimpy. When he is on the national stage from now on, though, he should put his attention into drawing distinctions between himself and his rivals, not his GE rival. Aaron gave him that question and he needed to do more with it.

He looked great and he was right on, as always, when he talked about foreign policy. He seemed really likable, as dumb as that sounds, in the interview.

28. Perfection. (near 'bout)
Wesley knows an Alley Oop from Tenet when he sees one!

Man, was that good. How can ANYone watch that and fail to realize that this is the man to lead us?


(nearbout because at the goodby, the director chopped off Wes' reply to Brown; the media just can't muster the professionalism to cover Clark square)

35. I think he got cut off because Aaron let him talk
as long as possible and didn't want to interrupt him. Thanks Aaron. Don't forget everyone..let's all write Aaron and thank him. When he sees how many people are watching and wanting to hear Clark...maybe CNN will get the message.

Wes III. They can't let people know that they actually hate Judy woodruff and like Wes Clark! :)

33. I thought it was a wonderful interview.
Clark took control after he answered the Wes Jr. question, and he showed his command of foreign policy.
Aaron Brown treated him very fairly.

I was boycotting CNN during the Iraq war, so I missed all the NewsNights where Clark was providing analysis. I feel like I really missed something.

He was wonderful. Too bad "We The People" didn't know we were watching the future President of the United States.

41. Yes, you missed something great
Clark oftentimes took over the narrative from Brown and explained the nuances of strategy and diplomacy. He was great and I was hoping he was a democrat (he sounded like one during the war) and that he would run.

I held off on committing to him until last week but I had been impressed during the war.
