STFU Whore-ah O'Donnell
O’Donnell Tells Leahy: ‘You’re Going To Get The Truth From Karl Rove’

The White House refuses to allow Karl Rove and other top aides to testify about the administration’s prosecutor purge. Instead, it has offered closed door “interviews” with no oath and no transcript. The House and Senate Judiciary Committees have rejected that offer and authorized subpoenas of White House officials.

Borrowing the White House’s talking points, MSNBC’s Norah O’Donnell pestered Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-VT) about why he was insisting on “putting on a show trial.” She told him the White House offer was perfectly acceptable. “You’re going to get the truth from Karl Rove. What’s wrong with that?” Later, O’Donnell asserted, “You don’t trust the White House. The bottom line, you don’t trust the White House.”

As Leahy told O’Donnell, this is about more than whether or not the Senate trusts the White House. “We want to have hearings the way this country has had hearing for over 200 years,” Leahy stated. “Do it open. Do it under oath. And then let the American people decide.”

46. Translation: "Why don't you just regurgitate WH talking points like we do?"
Life is so much easier when you just submit entirely to the White House like the corporate press whores have done for six years.

16. Talk about a smug little tool. Sen. Leahy shoulda answered, 'You're damn right I don't trust them!"
Essentially, I know, that's what he said without saying it outright. But it's about time to take the gloves off: "These are known liars, otherwise, why fight speaking under oath?"

of why the MSM is no longer reliable. The Fourth Estate was always the watchdog of government. Now, as we see by her language, it is the lapdog. They (the MSM) have the ability to influence millions of people with their statements and remarks. How many average Americans, not particularly astute in matters of politics et al, are listening to this tripe and believing it? No wonder you know who is in the White House.............. :mad:

15. Precisely
By the time he came back for his fifth crack at testifying before Fitzpatrick's grand jury, he was probably all set to go through his "I don't remember nothin'" song and dance, but he was tipped off before that last appearance that Fitzpatrick finally had all the pieces assembled to nail him for perjury and obstruction. Suddenly, old Karl remembered all sorts of things! And slipped away from a chance to share the dock with Scooter.

This is the man that some people will trust to tell the truth in a closed session without any other reference materials and without a transcript? The people that would trust Karl Rove to tell the truth have to be on some powerful hallucinogens.

21. I have seen mostly fair reporting from NBC
If the predominate thought among American people was to mistrust the White House
would it not bleed into the next Democratic control of the WH?

Maybe she is just trying to keep the people in the "trust zone"?

29. I did not get that from this video
While I do understand that when one views a large sample of videos with Norah O'Donnell, one can make an implicit assumption that she is a bushbot, I don't get anything of the sort from this particular video. She quoted Tony Snow saying "You're going to get the truth from Karl Rove". She didn't actually state it as her opinion.

45. I remember the days when reporters only asked the question and allowed the pols to answer.
Now reporters echo the republicon talking points and pretend to remain fair.

If this trend continues, America is screwn.

There is NO reason to assume anyone as unscrupulous as rove would tell the truth.

49. It seems that there is a concerted effort to get TV news models to spread the GOP
propaganda. It is happening with such frequency that it really does feel like a conspiracy.

O'Whora is no exception. Her insinuations and bold lies are insidious and
half the time I feel like throwing things at the tv screen at her for doing her Job so well........

didn't mind a bit that people were in jail because of them not talking straight, and that Scott M and GWB were lying to the American people coninuously about that issue...so, um, no, we have no reason to expect that we would get the TRUTH from Karl Rove if it's set up so there's not consequences if he lies.
