Meet the Press: Ed Gillespe a no-show.

[Norbert]

Apparently RNC chairman refused at the last minute to go on MTP with REp. Charles Rangel. What's up with that?

On Edit: Gillespe is on MTP. He just refused to go one on one with Rangel.

[hippiechick]

1. Daylight does that to vampires .... n/t

:hippie:

[ithacan]

2. VERY interesting...

could be good, could be bad.

Why would he be called off at the last minute? Clearly a decision made by the Bush regime folks.

[DoYouEverWonder]

3. That's odd

when did one of those whores ever miss an opportunity to be in the spotlight? Especially, MTP for a free hour to promote your candidates and issues in an election year? Something must be up?

[Kathy in Cambridge]

4. Because Rangel can argue circles around him

Gillespie is a sniveling idiot.

[Nlighten1]

5. I bet Rangel

was going to sing the AWOL song over and over...

[LittleApple81]

6. I think he is coming AFTER Rangel. Not at the same time. n/t

[Granite]

7. He's coming up now

Wonder if Russert will ask him why he refused to appear with Rep. Rangel?

[LittleApple81]

8. I don't think so. Rangel did mention it though. n/t

[leetrisck]

9. They just read an article on C-Span - Abortion

issue with g.bush and the young girl - Gillespie put it out yesterday saying it was something the Democrats were going to use in October - if Gillespie brought this out - I've got to believe that story is true - they'll try to get ahead of it and get it over with.

[Granite]

10. Gillespie looks rattled

He's talking fast and getting angry. He looks like a guy who is on the ropes.

[LeinesRed]

29. yep

I've been looking forward to his cable tv spots...he's terrible!!!

[Norbert]

11. Gillespe: Saying bu$h is AWOL is a crime

Rangel, Cleland, McAullia committed a crime of slander by saying shrub was AWOL.

The better start building more jails. I've been hearing it a lot.

[leetrisck]

12. bush being AWOL is "the crime"

and military are being prosecuted now for being AWOL - the one's bush sent there - that's why this is an issue and his stunt on the carrier.

[DoYouEverWonder]

14. Then they should all make room for the politicians

who kept ranting and raving about Clinton being a draft dodger.

[ClassWarrior]

16. I say "bring it on"...

Ed said "nobody's going to bring a lawsuit" over this, but why not? We could get all the facts out there, couldn't we Ed?

Bring. It. On.

[SaddenedDem]

17. Gillispe=Stupid, slander=CIVIL law, not criminal law n/t

[Eric J in MN]

27. slandering a public figure requires total disregard for the truth, not the

Slandering a public figure requires total disregard for the truth, not the common sense conclusion that a man required to show up 36 times from May 1972 to May 1973 who showed up 6 times was AWOL 30 times.

[enough]

13. RNC canceled appearance on Philly talk-show on AWOL

Last week WHYY in Phila (NPR affiliate) had an hour on Bush* AWOL. The RNC person canceled at the last minute, so the entire hour went to our side.

I figured they realized they couldn't hold on around the corners for a whole hour.

[Granite]

15. Gillespie is slime

Some good questions by Russert WRT Bush's* special interest money - Enron has been his biggest all-time donor. Also asked whether Bush* would open up his records on every meeting with political donors (as the Democratic front-runner has promised to do). Gillespie dodged the question, of course.

I need to take a shower after watching that segment.

[NNN0LHI]

18. They didn't want to put another Chickenhawk up against a combat veteran

That is my guess.

Don

[spanone]

19. Rangel would have had him for breakfast.

[underpants]

20. Ed "I don't speak for the President" Gillespie is a dork

Period

[bvar22]

21. Woohoo!!!Rangel!!!

Keeps calling bush* Governorbush*.....says its because he cannot forget Florida!!!!!!!

I'm NOT OVER IT either, Charlie!

[johnfunk]

22. Just started in NYC

Amazing that NYC is always the LAST major East Coast market to see Meet the Press (10:30AM EST on WNBC-4).

Charlie is kicking Little Smirky W. McChimpster's AWOL ass -- and Ed "Greased Sleaz-le" Gillespie's too.

[qanda]

23. It plays at the same time in Washington (10:30)

And it's on at 11:00 in Baltimore. I wonder why that is. :shrug:

[Kathy in Cambridge]

24. 10:30 in Boston too

strange...

[eleny]

25. on at 9 a.m. in colorado

i have my coffee and am eagerly waiting these last 2 mintues for it to come on! this is going to be good! i hate that fast talking salesman of evil, gillespie.

[onecitizen]

26. If you'll notice.......

they always do this when their back's against the wall. Common tactic for this crew especially.

[LeinesRed]

28. Still think this guy is our ticket to the WH

pretty soon the Repubs will realize it and replace him...unfortunately.

[buycitgo]

screw nosed ferret faced chimpunk jowled lying PRICK

what's really FUNNY about Gillespie is how FAST he talks.

the faster he talks, the bigger turd he's laying.

I work in a jr. high school, and the kide LIE all the time

ALL the time, seriously

and I can tell a lot more easily when somebody lies now.

one of the MOST obvious keys is when they change their speech patterns, especially talking faster.

that's why Gillespie is SO transparent......almost as horrid a liar as Condi

if only Jon Stewart would get some clips together of dumbo, condi, screw nose, and rumsfeld doing their mendacious tap dances

THAT would be entertainment at its purest

[knight_of_the_star]

35. They won't do that

If they do they would practically be conceding the election to us.

31. Ed Gillespie: Enron/Lay shill and toady.

Gillespie's firm earned $700,000 from Enron in 2001 to lobby the White House on the electricity crisis on the West Coast.

32. I loved that Charles Rangel stated that Gillespe wouldnt show 2 or 3 times

Charles did a good job on MTP.When he started in about florida
I got up and cheered.I am glad he brought up the blocking
of minority votes.Ole tim didnt know what to say.He was trying to divert from the florida by asking about minority turn out.
Charles came back with the "wear a remember florida button".wtg charles

[buycitgo]

33. ha....love that......how bout: Remember the Maine(stream media!)

where have THEY Been?

and you know they're ready to pounce ALL OVER this awaiting bimbo eruption

question is, has Kerry been Arnoldized?

[grasswire]

34. har

screw nosed ferret faced chimpunk jowled lying PRICK!!

I recommend Dems keep using the AWOL word, in the true hope that Bush will sue them.

Discovery's such a bitch.

(why aren't they struck by lightning when they talk about slander after haunting the Clintons for more than a decade?)
