MEDIA ALERT: WES CLARK on Aaron Brown tonight.

[Auntie Bush]

Clark will be discussing Richard Clarke and his charges with Arron Brown tonight on CNN 10:00.

Pleased keep this kicked.


Sorry I forgot the e in Clarke.

[BootinUp]

1. America is going to know

Wes pretty damn good. He's gettin all kinds of face time!

[TomSeaverr]

2. STOP THE WAITING

I want this man as the Vice President. Enough said

[sadiesworld]

3. Our next VP? Sec. of State at least!

[woodstockjimi]

53. i dint have a link,

but i was curious to find out if anyone else had heard that Clark was originally placed in the race in order to keep dean from taking Kerry out?

[maddezmom]

4. thanks for the heads up

I'll actually get to see it, CNNI carries News Night. :)

[Lex]

5. Smarmy Aaron Brown

will just end up pissing me off, no doubt.

But the more I see of Clarke on TV, the better!

Edited to add: Damnit I thought it would be Richard Clarke on Aaron Brown! Nevermind.

[LandOLincoln]

6. Then I guess you'll be happy to know that Judy Woodruff is subbing for

Brown, won't ya? :evilgrin:


BTW, Wes is Clark (no e), Richard is Clarke (with an e).

[BootinUp]

7. Woofwoof?

Clark is going to have to smack her down. She'll interrupt him every time he starts to talk!

[LandOLincoln]

8. Can't wait. LOVE that General Smackdown fella!!! n/t

[Nashyra]

9. I held my nose and watched Clark on Faux

He was his great self as always and the shrill host I think it was something like Carvuto? Clark did not back down when he was trying to interupt him. All this bullshit about why is the book coming out now? Because the Chimp is running as a war time pres.

[in_cog_ni_to]

10. UGH!

Woodruff is doing the interview? She's such a wench! :puke: I can't WAIT to see Wes! :bounce:

[LandOLincoln]

11. Yep, that's what she said, anyway. Brown's still

in Iraq, isn't he?

[in_cog_ni_to]

18. The last time I saw Aaron

he was in Pakistan. He may be in Israel tonight...big story there today.....Or he could be on his way home. :shrug:

[Lex]

14. Woodruff is just as yucky.

Why can't it be Anderson Cooper--at least I get the feeling he is a Democrat, and not as full of sh*t as Aaron Brown and Judy Woodruff.

Oh well, even if it is Clark discussing Clarke on Brown's show, but by Woodruff, I'll take that!

Anything to watch Chimpy and his flying chimp gang squirm.

[Auntie Bush]

22. I heard Anderson Coopers' a Republican and is the son or

grandson of Gloria Vanderbuilt as has millions in a trust fund.
Just a bit of trivia while we are on the subject.

BTW I like Aaron Brown and I think he has been very fair to Clark in the past. I'm so damn mad that Judy will be interviewing Clark. She is such a B****! All she will do is promote the Rep. talking points.

[Lex]

32. I heard Anderson is a rather liberal out gay man

and he is the SON of Gloria Vanderbilt--just a little trivia there.

He has won a journalism award for a story he did on a high school athlete who came out during high school. Cooper might be a rich guy but I don't think that makes him a republican.

I've seen him give the hateful repukes, anti-abortionists and homophobes a hard time on CNN on his Anderson Cooper 360 show.

Just FYI.

:)

[in_cog_ni_to]

33. News to me.

I didn't know he was gay. I didn't know he was Vanderbilt's son either. I'll pay closer attention the next time he interviews a repuke....see if he challenges them. Every day I learn something new on DU. ;)

[LandOLincoln]

13. Okay. Sorry I misunderstood, and please forgive my nitpickiness.

I'm an editor & can't help myself sometimes. :-(

However, I agree that the more we see of EITHER Clark(e) the better, tho I must confess a preference for the guy without the e.

[Leilani]

25. But Aaron Brown & Wes are friends from the Iraq war coverage

& Brown has always been the most respectful to Wes, of all the talking heads!

[Tom Rinaldo]

29. I have a lot of respect for Aaron Brown

and not just because he likes Wes. He is extremely dry but I have heard him throw some real zingers at the Bush Administration. Brown to me comes off as an honest thoughtful person doing his job with much more integrity than I see anywhere else in the supposedly objective media.

[BootinUp]

31. Did you see when

Brown went into a rant because Hastert was opposing the extension on the 9/11 commission? Theres a thread around here somewhere. We were all in shock I tell ya.

[Tom Rinaldo]

35. Yeah, I did see that

And even as someone who likes Aaron Brown, I was shocked by how angry he was at the cover up. It kind of gave me chills at the time to hear a news anchor saying those things. Too bad Brown isn't on with Clark tonight.

[Leilani]

51. I agree Tom

I first started watching him regularly during the Iraq War coverage.
That's also when I became so impressed with Wes Clark.

I'm a news junkie, & check them all out, but I think Brown does the BEST daily news show. He is dry, & I like that. He goes into more depth on important issues, than anyone else.

And he tends not to have partisan hacks on the show; there's never a screaming match. Instead, there is real exploration of issues, & you're right, he seems to have real integrity.

[Gloria]

12. AGAIN??? If this guy isn't the VP nominee, I will eat my hat...

Actually, I will probably write off the campaign...

He's already doing the job the VP nominee is going to have to do..

As Kerry reportedly stipulated:
No one who is a Senator or legislator
No one without Foreign Policy experience....

Now, maybe a governor isn't included in the first...but other than trade trips to Bulgaria on state business, what gov. has FP experience???

[TomSeaverr]

16. What happened to CNN

Doesn't Ted still own them? I thought Ted was liberal. I want Liberal bias BACK

[LandOLincoln]

20. Ted sold CNN ages ago, damn him, but I must say I think

he regrets that as much as anyone now.

[LandOLincoln]

17. I'll eat ALL my hats--all 20 of 'em. n/t

[Renew Deal]

49. Richadson is the only governor I know with FP experience.

[BootinUp]

15. Thanks for the heads up!

:hi:

[Adelante]

19. OMG Clark on Debora Norville MSNBC 9 PM EST

Poor Wes, he's going to be all tired. :7

[LandOLincoln]

21. Yeah, and we're all gonna be tired of

lookin at that beautiful face, too...aren't we??? (ducks & runs)

[Adelante]

23. Ha Ha

[Leilani]

27. Right!

I'm so tired of looking at him, NOT!

[VOX]

24. Thanks for the heads-up.

Appreciate it -- :toast:

[Leilani]

26. Thanks so much for the heads up!

I missed Wes on Cavuto, but I can watch the rerun!

Evidently, John Kerry trusts Wes to be a strong spokesperson for him!

Clark will be in this administration, somewhere!

[Donna Zen]

28. Telling the truth

is much less tiring than lying your ass off. So Wes will be fine.

Read page 102 of "Winning Modern Wars"

[Donna Zen]

30. Judy?

I think they should fire Judy and hire a human.




Stop cross-species outsourcing!!!

[Auntie Bush]

34. ROTFL

and a kick for a reminder in case anyone missed it tonight.

[maddezmom]

36. kick

:)

[Auntie Bush]

37. My computer is running like a snail...Is it the traffic on DU or

is it my ISP? Anyway I won't be doing much posting.
Hope all you speed demons keep the ball rolling.

I'm waiting! Sigh!

[in_cog_ni_to]

38. Go Wes!

:bounce::bounce: I'm ready!

[bain_sidhe]

39. I notice they START with the Admin spin

Gotta get their case out there first, you know, to "innoculate" the audience against Clark on Clarke..

That Judy Woofwoof is SUCH a beta bitch!

[in_cog_ni_to]

40. No shit.

Now she's trying to defend the adminisration for at least going after Bin Laden first...soon after 911. :eyes: What a wench! :grr:

[Nashyra]

43. He got in a very long last word

I expected worse from that bitch, seemed pretty respectful, she did not interupt him, once but he got right back on track. I especially liked when he said that they could not have it both ways.

[BootinUp]

44. Yes, he hit a homerun

Defended Clarke very well
Made the case of failures before 9/11
Made the case for failures after 9/11

If we had put troops in Afghanistan/Paksitan area two years ago we might of bagged our prey. He kicked butt.

:bounce:

[LandOLincoln]

48. Yep, the "both ways" comment was wonderful, and all the Dems should

repeat it every chance they get.

I too expected much worse from Woodruff. Don't quite know what to make of her conduct tonight. Maybe it's just that she's learned from bitter experience that Wes is the Smackdown Ninja, and she doesn't want to give him any reason to humiliate her again.

[Auntie Bush]

41. Wow! We are looking into the face of our future Veep!!!!

[bain_sidhe]

42. Well, that was fast. Over now

NOW there's a bush propaganda ad!! :argh:

bummer.

[in_cog_ni_to]

45. Wasn't he great??!

he just amazes the hell out of me. <sigh> I so hope he's our VP...he is undoubtedly the man Kerry NEEDS for THIS election.

[Leilani]

46. He was wonderful!

He laid it all out.

I hope America was listening!

[Gloria]

47. The little twit Judy said that all the counter charges made getting

to the bottom of 911 HARDER!! I nearly threw up! No, Judy...what has made it hard is that you and your cohorts have ignored the facts and defended Bush for the last 2 years. You've also ignored critics.

You have also insulted my intelligence.

I was glad she didn't try to insinuate that Wes was part of the "problem" by actually explaining how the Bushitas couldn't have it both ways on Clarke...

After missing him over the last few days, it was heaven to see him again.
He's very easy on the eyes......

[Auntie Bush]

52. My eyes are drooping...slowly falling under his spell.

Jim4Wes posted a great picture!

[incapsulated]

50. I'll have to catch the rerun

But it sounds good!

I hate to open old wounds, but it's pretty amazing that when he was running himself, I spent most of my tv time searching for a Wes appearence, and now that the Kerry people are handling him, I keep missing them. *sigh*

54. Transcript up. best part:

http://edition.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0403/22/asb.00.html
WOODRUFF: When you say we should ignore the personal but today none other than the Vice President of the United States Dick Cheney came out and said Clarke wasn't in the loop and he may have had a grudge to bear because he didn't get some promotion that he wanted. Could that be behind it?

CLARK: Judy, you can't have it both ways. I mean he either was the counterterrorism czar and was responsible and knew what was going on or the administration gave him a title and didn't put any emphasis on terrorism and that's why he wasn't in the loop and the administration is criticizing him from both sides on this. I think that you have to accept each of the incidents and allegations at face value and then listen to the comments and take the facts and sort them through.
