[TomInTib]

[LSparkle]

1. On Tweety and Blitzer at the same time?

Good for him!

[rodeodance]

2. "He's been looking for himself for 2 years" says Kerry HO HO HO

[sandnsea]

4. Oh snap!

:rofl:

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[rodeodance]

12. that was the best one I have heard for two years!

[rodeodance]

5. The WH has no credibility--if this is true says kerry

[rodeodance]

9. says it is inexcusable that the Pres is still sending troops to Irag given

how they are just squablling with each other (Iragi government)

[MissB]

6. He did not say that! Did he?

:spray:

[rodeodance]

18. HE SURE DID--when talking of the new leak info. of today

[babylonsister]

3. Wow, he's on Tweety also-he gets around!

;-)

[TomInTib]

10. Talented guy!

[sandnsea]

7. We know how to govern.

:woohoo:

[sandnsea]

11. Wolfie trying to stir shit

Between Kerry and Feingold.

Kerry supports censure hearing and agrees with Leahy, inclined to believe censure is appropriate.

[blm]

25. There's a meme - Democrats - We know HOW to Govern.

.

[LSparkle]

8. Wow -- crawl says "Kerry supports hearings re censure"

Bet Russ Feingold is feeling pretty damned good right about now.

:loveya:

[sandnsea]

13. The war deadline is what's important

I hope they don't divert the importance of this interview.

But good about the censure.

[rodeodance]

14. yes, he says it should go through the process. (what specter had was not

going through the committee as he did not evern take a vote)

[rodeodance]

17. Wolf should open his brain and learn something!

[blm]

30. He's known for weeks that Kerry supports it - Russ needs senators out

there to say they NEED to hear more evidence and want to keep the investigation alive. That way the public has a greater chance to catch up to what is really happening.

[Catchawave]

15. Sounds like a campaign speech....

..and still carefully choosing his words.

[seabeyond]

29. from all the posts he is kicking ass. are you DISSING him?

just confused

[Catchawave]

53. No, just didn't enjoy the Blitzer interview

I'm watching the Matthews interview now, JK's definitely doing much better :hi:

[seabeyond]

54. really. well thank you. i dont watch

i turned all them off fall 2004 after finally a kerry speech got on tv adn commentators didnt talk about what e said at all, jsut trashed him. then said no plan, as i listened to 20 minutes of plan for education, small business, health care, and iraq

i was hearing the blitzer interview better than tweety. that kerry was more aggressive

anyway, glad you think tweety interview good

thanks

[karynnj]

47. He's a lawyer

They are holding hearings -

This is not an Alice in wonderland world, verdict first, trial later.

Carefully choosing words is important with the current media that will take anything and turn it on its head.

[speedoo]

16. He's rockin!!

Just slamming the chimp and his criminal posse every which way. Kerry is much better in this interview than he was with tweety. Far more aggressive.

[TomInTib]

19. I believe this was taped later in the day. Snowball effect.

[rodeodance]

26. Wolf just said 'taped earlier today"

[rodeodance]

20. says Casey says this can NOT be solved militarily......then Wolf butts in.

[rodeodance]

22. It was almost as if Wolk was bored with kerry talking of the war.

[blm]

28. Wolf is trying to talk about anything BUT Iraq. Very weird and obviously

deliberate.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

21. He doesn't know if he's running in 2008!

[rodeodance]

23. well, wolf is sure pushing him to get an answer.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

27. And he pushed right back. This is interesting. I think Dean has something

to do with it.

[WildEyedLiberal]

24. Blitzer is being such a dick

Kerry ain't taking his bait, though; good on him.

This is a great interview - gets tough on Bush and supports censure hearings and withdrawal - despite Wolf's CONSTANT diversions.

What's this bullshit quote from some random douche? Who CARES?

[Sensitivity]

31. Guys, please note which Reporters have Kerry on today. It's no accident

that Wolf goes to Kerrys office for a one-on-one interview.
Regardless of how he poses, Blitzer has been privately pro-Kerry.

[LSK]

33. Kerry is supposed to be on Tweetys show tonite

[alcibiades_mystery]

34. Are you insane?

Wolf Blitzer is a Republican shill of first order. He's pro-Kerry being divested of his Senate seat, if anything. Puh-leeeez.

[WildEyedLiberal]

35. I'm glad Kerry got the airtime...

... however, Wolfie was being a total asshole. At least Kerry got his message out.

[karynnj]

49. This time Tweety was even worse

It was really clear that he thought he could push Kerry to go over the line on the Bus/Libby/Plame stuff. Must have forgot Kerry was a damn good prosecutor - and he was going to say "if it's true" on everything - except things 100% known. (Tweety also likes to hear himself talk.)

Kerry was serious, but he seemed to get a little tiny smile every now and then - I assume he can't help be happy that Bush is in trouble.

[OrangeCountyDemocrat]

40. A Bit Early For Drugs Isn't It?

Are you kidding? Blitzer pro-Kerry?

Pass the bong please.

:silly:

[ProSense]

50. LOL! n/t

[Dr Ron]

43. Blitzer pro Kerry?

Where do you get this from? The way he "poses" sure makes it look like he's anti-Kerry and pro-Republican.

[Blaukraut]

38. Never thought I'd say this

but compared to Blitzer, Tweety did an outstanding job. It's funny how he gets all deferential when interviewing JK. Leslie is an ass, drunk on the koolaid. How pathetic was his attempt at getting JK to comment on the quote about JK having had his chance, and that new blood was needed.

[WildEyedLiberal]

46. I don't have MSNBC so I missed Tweety

I hope there's a clip later.

[FrenchieCat]

32. I have a question.....

Is Kerry's plan that the Iraqi Government have to put a Government together by May 15th....and if the don't......then we would leave,

But if they do, then we stay?


That's what I understood, watching Kerry's interview with Wolf Ticket.

[LSK]

36. we stay until the end of the year training

[FrenchieCat]

42. So really apart from this May 15th deadline for the Iraqi Gov

to put together a unity government, or else.....

This plan is what the Democratic Plan was.....that 2006 was the year of transition....that we would need to start pulling out by the end of this year? Is that correct?

Because if so...I find this deadline totally reasonable. I always thought that our military presence should be used as leverage to get this government going. The Iraqi Government does not want us to leave just yet....so this would work, although it has to come from Bush....and it probably won't.

[LSK]

48. yes its very similar to Murtha's plan except with hard deadlines

http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/040506J.shtml

[karynnj]

51. That seems to be Kerry's strategy

In the less formal interviews he has said he hopes (and he thinks) they will. At that point, the summit idea and the transition of the second part kicks in. I liked that in Blitzer's interview he said that an ultimatum from him won't work, but it will from the President.

[WildEyedLiberal]

37. Leave by May 15th w/o government

If Iraq gets its shit together, we stay to train and all combat forces will be out by the end of the year.

[Fabio]

39. Its basically like this:

Form a unity government by May 15 - if not, immediate withdrawal of forces

Withdrawal by end of 2006 regardless - excepting troops in IDF training efforts

[sandnsea]

41. Until the end of the year, as he said last year

If they want us to. If we stay, the plan includes not engaging in routine patrols and the kinds of things that make our troops targets. Since he called for a drawdown last year, I'm sure he would consider that part of any strategy for the remaining year, begin to draw down troops, turn over the country, and be out by the end of the year.

[Change has come]

44. Please see this thread...

It contains a form to sign up as a co-sponsor of Kerry's Iraq withdrawal resolution.
