1. OMG....He told Wolf to try asking all the foreign correspondents for CNN

for the truth from their regions about what the countries really think of Bush and if they want him to be elected.

[Leilani]

20. That's the best idea I've heard

All these phoney journalists KNOW that Bush is hated.

[in_cog_ni_to]

2. He said Kerry committed an awful crime in Washington....

"He spoke the truth." (about the leaders who want Bush out)GO, Richard!!! He's taking NO shit from Wolf! :bounce:

[RedEarth]

5. Holbrooke is a tough dude...he doesn't take

shit from anyone. Would love to see him in Kerry's administration.

[Adelante]

22. I think you can bank on it, RedEarth

:thumbsup:

[blm]

3. RH:We have less support in the world today than ever.

Wolf is cheerleading for Bush.

[MoonRiver]

4. He's great! Calling Wolfie on his sleaze tactics biased toward * !

I'm surprised they let Holbrooke on.

[BlueStateGirl]

6. Wow. That was brillant.

[Kahuna]

7. He just whooped Wolfie upside the head!

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

8. I didn't know he was Kerry's foreign policy advisor.

Has he always been his foreign policy advisor?

[11cents]

15. He supported Clark until the latter dropped out

He and Clark worked together on the Dayton Accord.

[in_cog_ni_to]

17. That's what I thought.

I just saw on CNN that he's now working for Kerry's campaign. That's great! Kerry has some MAJOR support in Holbrooke and Clark. :bounce:

[Leilani]

21. If Kerry wins

I think Holbrooke will be Sec of State.

[dtseiler]

9. video archive?

/me doesn't get cable.

[RedEarth]

10. Will there be a transcript of this on their site or will be be shown again

...I'm at work and don't have access to cable.

[in_cog_ni_to]

11. I'm sure a transcript will be up by tomorrow.

He was on Wolf Blitzer Reports, CNN.

[BootinUp]

12. cnn always posts transcripts

this would be the link, but it won't be there for a bit obviously.

[blm]

13. They usually have transcripts up pretty quickly.

Holbrooke is as strong and reasoned a voice you can have out there.

[Eurobabe]

14. think he will be secretary of state

he's solid, and non-reactive even in the face of Blitzer's shit.

16. "The fact is, the Spanish people, and their new leader, do not support...

.. the United States."

In response to Wolfie's question about "Did the terrorists win, by influencing a national election and toppling a government in the aftermath of a horrible terrorist strike?," Holbrooke responded:

"Well, George Will wrote in today's column in the Washington Post, that this is the biggest win for terrorism, with the most immediate consequences, that he believes has happened in history. I don't buy that. I think that the assasination of Archduke Ferdinand, in Sarajevo in 1914, which started WWI, was a much bigger event. I don't want to portray this as a triumph for terrorism. The terrorists that did this should not be encouraged; the American public will not react in the same way the Spanish people did. I understand George Will's point, but I'm not ready to share it."

18. Sounds like something Wes Clark would say. :)

Bush doesn't have a chance in hell, as far as I'm concerned....against Kerry, Clark and Holbrooke??? Buh Bye!

[VolcanoJen]

19. Holbrooke was lucid, and brilliant.

I'm so happy a man with that kind of calm, understated intellect is on our side.

[LandOLincoln]

23. You mean against President John Kerry, Vice President

Wesley Clark, and Secretary of State Richard Holbrooke?

You're absolutely right.
Dubya = toast. :bounce:

24. The transcript is up - Holbrooke was great

25. Just imagine for a moment:

Clark and Holbrooke on the road in all the European capitols together. What a team!

There is story from one of the books, I think it's Holbrooke's, about a dinner party they attended thrown by an up up scale Washington maven. Anyway, much to the chagrin of the hostess, the dinner was disrupted when calls kept coming in from all over Europe. Finally, the woman enters her kitchen to find her star dinner guests: one on the phone speaking in French and the other frantically consulting maps they had spread out all over the kitchen.

A duo for sure.

It is time to get the cash clowns out of the White House.
