On CNN...The media is FINALLY going after Bush's war record....Hurrahhh

[glarius]

On cnn the White House briefing...
John Roberts of CBS was the first to INSIST on an explanation...Now Gregory from NBC.....

http://www.whitehouse.gov/ ...White house web page...you can see it here now that CNN has taken it off

[R3dD0g]

1. Is that guy giving McClellan

such a hard time - Terry Moran?

Who does he work for?

Will he find a horse head in his bed tomorrow?

[glarius]

3. first was Roberts, then Gregory , now Terry Moran

It looks like they've decided to go after him...This is great

[Eurobabe]

2. LOVE IT!!

nothing like the media when you give them a bone (story line)

[cosmicdot]

19. you got that right; is pathological an appropriate word for their behavior

someone must know that the doctored documents are coming, the media just sets the tone needed for the White House to do their thing... even some bona fide files appear to be coming showing him being "paid" while, in fact, he was derelict in duty ... paid = he was there just not in person ...

these are not the values I want in a leader

[tom_paine]

4. Yeah, and just 4 years too late

We continue to compare favorably with otyher Totalitarian Medias of history.

Neither the Nazi nor Commie media would have EVER, even 20 years later, asked these question of Hitler or Stalin. Filip media would NEVER have asked such questions of Ferdinand Marcos!

hooray...

[glarius]

5. McLellan is really getting rattled.....I love it!

:D

[annxburns]

7. Fill me in PLEASE! I'm at work ..

... did they actually say they WONT release the documents now?

[glarius]

8. They have released documents but they don't prove where he was

all the time....

[AZCat]

10. I don't think they released the ACTUAL documents

the press has a lot of questions, it sounds like they just have a summary of some sort.
We'll see, they should post this stuff soon.

[R3dD0g]

9. Looks like they released pay records and

service point documents.

But, they show pay for the time his superiors in Texass say '... has not been observed at this unit.' when filling out his officer eval form.

Something's fishy. Looks like the shirking chimp got paid for not working. Welfare for the rich.

[lancdem]

14. Got paid for not working?

Sounds kind of like his presidency. :evilgrin:

[Kahuna]

40. Snarf!

}(

[R3dD0g]

6. McClellan is a moron

He keeps acting like all that has gone before is news to him.

He wonders where the document that states '...not observed at this unit' comes from, as if he's never heard of that report before.

Partisan political advantage. As if that negates the deserters actions.

What a bunch of moral cowards.

[Katarina]

11. If I hear...

"the president recalls" many more times I'm going to explode.:puke:

[adadem]

15. McClellan looks really, really

nervous...I'm really, really enjoying this. It's about time the truth came out. It IS a moral issue.

[JPace]

12. The press should get the records of a guard

who did serve in Alabama at the same
time to see how the records of a
NON-AWOL guard looks. Bet they are
complete and make AWOL's records
look even more questionable.

[R3dD0g]

13. An now for something REALLY important

Kobe, Martha, Scott and all the rest of the celebrity news the moron-Americans are waiting breathlessly for.

I'm checking out C-Span.

edit.

C-Span still carrying it.

Fie on CNN.

[Zomby Woof]

16. McClellan's stock answer to EVERY question

"Again, the president served with honor..." Squirmy little fuck, wasn't he?

[maddezmom]

20. "outrageous, baseless accusation" is his 2nd favorite n/t

[Cush]

22. and

"This was thirty years ago"

[Cat Atomic]

56. "You're paid for the time you serve."

lmao- I think he said that about 30 times.

[Az]

17. It could just mean

that the Bushies finally have enough fixes in place to take the issue on in public. Careful out there.

[R3dD0g]

18. That's possible

but, they won't release any names of Guardsmen who served with * who remember him being on base.

COs remember him not being there, but no comrades remember him.

He was never there.

[glarius]

25. Wouldn't anyone who served with him come forward voluntarily?

Why has NOBODY come forward to the press or anyone else?....

[Sperk]

21. Looks like the white house press corps got the o.k. from their

corp. whore bosses. Maybe Rupert was right that the "powers that be" want Smirky gone.

[Robb]

24. Ah, they just smell blood.

And blood = story. :D

My fave so far was the reporter holding up the document, saying "How are we supposed to know what this says? I can't even read it...?!?"

(on edit): Let's sing it together, Scott:

"These documents clearly show that the president fulfilled his duties''
"You are paid for the dates you served"
"These documents clearly show that the president fulfilled his duties''
"You are paid for the dates you served"
"These documents clearly show that the president fulfilled his duties''
"You are paid for the dates you served"
"These documents clearly show that the president fulfilled his duties''
"You are paid for the dates you served"

Ha ha ha ha!!! :bounce:

[R3dD0g]

23. Who's that piece of shit

now running his mouth against Kerry?

FOX news whore?

[TheDonkey]

26. faux news rep probably

:puke:

[berner59]

29. What was that about??

A preview of Bush's attack?? They try for a second to pit Kerry against Bush in Vietnam and they'll look like fools...if not already...

[lovedems]

27. What papers are they releasing exactly? What are they suppose to prove?

I am without a television at the moment. I am dying for some details!

I am assuming they don't answer any of the questions regarding the chimps service. Am I correct? Did the administration just stoke the fire of doubt?

[AZCat]

28. Darnit, I'm loosing my connection

There are too many of us with bloodlust! LOL!

It's great watching Scotty squirm

[berner59]

31. Go April!!!!

Sticking it to Scott... Saying how can the public trust him to send soldiers to war when he avoided it???? Go go go !!!

[R3dD0g]

30. I wish C-Span would put the names of the reporters.

I'm confused who these people are.

Who's that woman now being denigrated by the scum sucker McClellan.

McClellan: I've got the list. (sounds like McCarthy)

[Eurobabe]

45. check out MSNBC...

[Brian Sweat]

32. The Democrats need to start calling for his DD 214.

[AZCat]

34. Yup.

The spn (?) on there should tell why he was discharged.
There's the real story

[Bandit]

33. Are these the same records that were "Released" in 2000?

Bush* said all his records were released in 2000 so I'm wondering if these are new records never having seen light of day before this.

[AZCat]

36. These are "new" records from Colorado

supposed to be records of him getting paid, but nothing about where/when/what he was doing

[TheDonkey]

35. CNN still has it. April is rocking!!!

You go girl!

[Tripper11]

37. WOOHOO!!! Finally the reporters are going hard on Scottie!

They are not letting up...Scottie is going to blow a gasket soon!!!!

[maddezmom]

38. the media is not buying this crap

it's not going away

[berner59]

42. What's Ari thinking???

Glad I'm outta there!!! whew!!!

Can you see the flop sweat on Scott?? Looking mighty shiny up there...

[Cooley Hurd]

39. David Gregory is HOT!

"Will actual tax returns and pay stubs be released?"

Scott gives non-answer & David asks again...

[Beetwasher]

43. So They DIDN'T Release the Pay Stubs????

What the hell did they give reporters???

[Cooley Hurd]

54. Some sort of pay and "points" summary...

...which, according to some of the reporters, is barely legible.

David Gregory (NBC) asked will the WH release pay stubs and tax records for the time in question. Scotty never answered...

[maddezmom]

44. and said he'll continue to ask until he gets an answer

good for him, last time they all dropped the ball.

[tabasco]

53. Finally, some doing the duty of journalists.

Not believing flimsy evidence for government claims. This much-heralded record release has disproved nothing.

[Buns_of_Fire]

63. Wasn't Gregory the reporter who boosh* got ticked off at

when he asked Chirac a question in French at a joint press conference? If so, Memo to Bunnypants: They might not go after you immediately, but some of these guys have loooooooooooong memories...

I love it. :bounce:

[JPace]

41. WH press secretary cannot answer any questions

(won't answer) other than referring all
questions back to the blurry unreadable
photo copies he offered the press.

What kind of drills did AWOL perform?
Who were his guard buddies?
Who does AWOL remember reporting to?

AWOL is going to be asked these questions
throughout his campaign now....I wonder
how Rove is going to try to avoid this?

At last AWOL is being made to be accountable
in a way where no one can rescue him.

LOVE IT!

[NoKingGeorge]

61. rOve is screwing up big time.

OR ,as someone on the board pointed out before, he is no where near as clever as we give him credit for being. Having gone through Nixon and rAygun we expected much much more. We should lower our expectations when evaluating this administrations moves.

[JPace]

62. "rOve is screwing up big time."

I agree, the problem repugs have in the long term
is that they (1)overreach, (2)misread the pulse of the
common person, (3)and stubbornly stick to the same
methods and tactics.

Their tricks work in the short term but long term
they doom themselves.

I think "rOve" (I like the spelling) will soon switch
his tactics to destroying Kerry, the problem he will
have here is that Kerry handlers are wise to his
methods and will remain on the offensive. I think our
side is learning something about "framing the issues"
something the repugs have been doing successfully for
many years.

[Cush]

46. talking about Plame now

[Eurobabe]

47. topic has switched to Valerie Plame incident!

geez, media is vicious this morning. I am loving this!

[glarius]

48. John Roberts who started it all off with insistance on answer is Canadian

I don't know if you know that or not but he is a Canadian who started his career in Toronto....I wonder if they'll deport him to Syria or something???....LOL

[Tripper11]

52. He started out hosting an afternoon video show called,

Toronto Rocks! LOL Then moved on to MuchMUsic as one of the first veejays and then to CityTV news beofre heading to New York and CBS.

[glarius]

55. Yes, I remember him well....He's come a long way from an entertainment

reporter to understudy to Dan Rather...

[Tripper11]

57. Quick story about John's profesionalism

He had/has a repuation for being completely unshakeable. Always serious when on camera no matter what's going on around him. One time, the crew decided to try and make him crack..while on live tv doing a story, someone snuck up behind him, reached between his legs and grabbed his balls, surely gauranteed to elicit a response from the king of stoic reporting. NO LUCK..he didn't even miss a beat!

[Tripper11]

49. I appreciate you are asking these questions...

in regard to the investigation and his testimony (Scott's)...because he can't keep lying about the AWOL thing..anything to stay off that subject.
$10 says the press gets back to the AWOL story and Scottie says that's it, we're done.

[Tripper11]

50. Now Cheney ducking hunting with Scalia

Yeeehaw!

[AZCat]

51. Link to MSNBC story on records, but no files yet

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4230576/

This is a story on the press conference, but nobody (as I can see) has posted copies of what the press was given.

[berner59]

60. MSNBC to have Nora & David on...

The point they are harping on is "the gap" in the records during the summer when he was supposed to be in Alabama... could be good - gloves are off on the press... Fox of course has W's campaign manager on...

[blm]

58. MSNBC stayed with it, too.

YAY!!!!!!

[Tripper11]

59. And now on to the next pack of lies...Ladies, Gentlemen, I give you...

Rumsferatu!!!

[LunaC]

64. There's still a 6 month gap

starting in April where there aren't any records of * being paid. One of the reporters kept harping on this right before they changed the subject. So where was he and what was he doing, hmmmmmm?

[Woodstock]

65. that sounds right, that it takes the govt 3 months to realize

they've been paying someone they shouldn't - any of us who've worked for or with the govt can attest to that likelihood.

[Aries]

66. It sounds like a "no show" job

IF the records are not fake, which is another possibility for folks so intimately connected with intelligence agencies.

McLellan kept waving the document around saying "he was paid--these records prove it--so he fulfilled his responsibilities". It would be just like the Bush gang to have Shrub paid for not showing up...the Sopranos do it all the time.
