1. Why did Fox news get slammed?

Something about a transcript of an interview Clark gave...

:headbang:
rocknation

[displacedtexan]

11. Fox dragged (Drudged?) out an old Clarke interview...

in which Clarke speaks highly of Bush* (he worked for him, fer Christ's sake, and he says his words were vetted by the WH!).
Big Jim Thompson waved the article in the air and said Clarke's credibility was now in question.
As far as I can paraphrase,
KerrEy just slammed Fox for being so petty as to break into the coverage of the hearings with the old Clarke interview.

[Catfight]

12. I can hear Insannity from here

I can hear Insannity yelling from here in the office

2. Kerrey should shut the fuck up.

Castigating Clarke for saying that invading Iraq increased terrorism.
Whats he trying to do?

[bobbyboucher]

19. I didn't hear that.

I could have missed it.

[maveric]

38. He arrogantly stated that he doent agree with him(Clarke) that

the invasion made terrorism worse.
What a pompous ass!

[underpants]

57. Kerrey put the backgrond memo to rest

I'll take that in a trade.

[maddezmom]

[Cush]

4. Iraq Government was not involved in the 93 WTC Attack

[Cush]

7. Ben Veniste wants Rice

[kaitykaity]

10. Oh wasn't that sweet?????

Body Slam!!!!!

[bobbyboucher]

27. Did you hear Clarke say quietly,

"That might not be a good deal".

Plainly saying that he (Ben-Venist) either ain't gonna get Rice or she ain't gonna say shit.

[maddezmom]

Ben-Veniste no inconsistency in Clarke's testimony and book

[xultar]

8. BUHWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Where's Condi?

[emalejim9]

9. Sorry for the dupe

[Vadem]

15. No problem! I've asked Mods to lock this one and we'll move

to yours.

[BootinUp]

17. I don't see the other

[Vadem]

32. I know! It appears to be gone or I can't find it. I guess we'll

stay here, then until the Mods lock us!

[ellie]

13. What is with Thompson?

Doesn't he get how things work? What an idiot!

[maddezmom]

18. same f'ing question, get over it Thompson

Clarke is not going to say the administration asked him to lie.

[RedSock]

34. thompson

it's like he has no clue how govt works.

clearly willing to look like a moran to try to slam clinton.

he succeeded.

he came off like an moran!

[Mattforclark]

16. "I'll cede my time to Roemer if he'll cede his time with Condi to me..."

chuckles in the audience

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

20. more like open laughter!!!

Woo hooo!!!

Clarke said "that may not be a good deal"

[catmandu57]

29. Clarke just shut up thompson but good

It's all politics, wild cheering from the gallery.

[Cush]

21. "It's not a question about morality, it's a question about politics'

gets applause

[BootinUp]

23. Thompson is an @sshole

[FlashHarry]

26. Slam-Dunk! Thompson sheepishly exits!

Way to go, Dickie Boy!

[readmylips]

28. Again, Clarke kick Thompson's butt.

..Thompson ran away saying..I'm not a Washington insider, I'm from the midWest....

[Blue_Roses]

77. What a prick!

who is this Thompson prick? Guess he's upset that his "dog and pony" show is ain't going as scheduled. Things getting alittle hot for Thompson--what a major asshole.

[emalejim9]

22. Time to go to lunch...

Pacific time here...I am curious to see how the radio pukes are spinning this.

[ellie]

24. I don't think it's

a question of morality at all. It's a question of politics.

Thompson left speechless again. Then he whined, "I'm not an insider. I'm from the Midwest."

Buh-bye

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

25. Clarke "a question of politics"

gets more applause!!

[Cush]

30. Roemer brings up the Predator drones

and whehter or not the armed ones were 'blocked'

[Bonhomme Richard]

31. Thompson must enjoy pain to go after Clarke again.

[BootinUp]

33. obviously LOL

[maddezmom]

36. Clarke handled his questions with ease n/t

[Birthmark]

37. He is one cool customer.

I'd hate like hell to have to interrogate him.

[Lex]

40. Clarke kicks their a$$ every single time.

He knows these guys and he knows how to screw them but good.

Everytime they get smarmy on him, he leaves them whimpering.

He's awesome.

[RoundRockD]

42. Have any of the Bushies gotten applause? n/t

[maddezmom]

53. Not that I can think of, but Sec. Cohen got one when he left yesterday n/t

[Emboldened Chimp]

41. Standing-O as Clarke is thanked....

[Vadem]

60. Did you see the 9/11 Widows rush up to him.....they were

thrilled, I'm sure, that finally someone spoke the truth! Looked like they wanted to hug and kiss him!

[Qutzupalotl]

43. Cube dwellers...catch summary on PBS News Hour w/Jim Lehrer

Last night they spent half an hour on testimony from yesterday, and that was without all of today's fireworks. It's going to be good!

Out here, it comes on at 7pm on PBS. Check your listings.

[maddezmom]

44. Clarke gets a standing ovation from the audience

boy the heads at the WH must be spinning.

[swag]

45. More than I could have hope for

Fucking brilliant.

[BootinUp]

47. I know - it went beyond expectations

He made history...I'm so happy.

[The empressof all]

46. Better than sex?

I need to go smoke a ciggie

[Spazito]

48. I am in total awe of Richard Clarke!

He handed the repub panel members their heads AND their asses on a platter of truth, it was incredible!

[readmylips]

61. Armitage opened defending Condi....

and attacking BenVeniste. That guy needs hair and better teeths.

BenVeniste now....We didn't ask for you, we asked Rice to be here.

[maddezmom]

49. Uncle Fester is up next in place of condi n/t

[kaitykaity]

50. Get ready for the talking points.

Here they come.

Let's debunk them, shall we. :puke:

[maddezmom]

54. it can all be summed up as Clinton's fault

:puke: :puke:

[tishaLA]

51. I just ran to see Faux

poor fuckers are trying to act like they did nothing wrong. Point out that Kerrey is "former Democratic senator" and that the background briefing is like Bucky Rice not testifying, but I'm not sure how that worked. Shepard Smith must be too smart for me.

[RoundRockD]

67. They're stilll running the story. Surprise! n/t

[Florida_Geek]

52. The families of 9-11 LOVE HIM

and that will cause * more and more problems. :)

[displacedtexan]

58. Armitage doesn't even have a written statement.

Just rambling.

[BootinUp]

55. what did armitage say that was funny?

[maddezmom]

62. something about not being able to read his note

cuz he wrote them in the car.

[Florida_Geek]

56. Clarke's one liners are GREAT

So what if the drone crashes, the pilot will return OK :)

[ellie]

59. Armitage up now

It took me a while to find it. NPR stoppped carrying it. I don't get C-SPAN 3. It's on CNN.

[PaDUer]

65. MSNBC also....n/t

[indigo32]

68. I'm listening to an NPR stream right now

I'm a cube dweller

[readmylips]

86. Bad idea sending Armitage...big a$$hole..

the bushies only asked the arrogant idiot (they'll laughing at him)...
asked him 10 days ago to take Condi's place.

[chelsea0011]

63. "Transition went smoothly"????? I guess Armitage computer keys were there

Remember that nonsense?

[displacedtexan]

66. Excuse me!

Armitage is there representing Condi Rice, but he's been there all along, but he was not in on the initial briefings...

So WTF is he doing there?

[Spazito]

64. Anyone notice that Armatige didn't apologize or recognize the families?

He jumped right in with the rightwing meme.

[chelsea0011]

70. Was he called back or did he request more face time?

[Spazito]

80. He was sent by the White House as Condi's liar...

I guess because they think he can do it better.

[PaDUer]

74. Classic example of the pukes..

lying his ass off..They wanted Condi, got him...said he was advised 10days ago..Gee, funny, the team wasn't aware of this!...Rice shit scared!!

[sadiesworld]

69. Hell, I've been over on another thread by myself.

I wondered why no one else was posting, just thought everyone was dumbstruck by Clarke's brillance.

[Vadem]

84. How the heck did you find it? I was looking for the other #5

earlier, thinking the Mods were going to lock us as a dupe! LOL

[i_c_a_White_Ghost]

71. Everyone call up FOX and complain on their unethical

behavior. I'm so glad kerry threw mud on their faces!

[maddezmom]

73. Armitage was advised 10 days ago he would sub for Condi

then he said a week. Hmmm, seems like the commission knew much later.

[bobbyboucher]

75. Did Clark remind any of you of George C. Scott in "Patton"?

It finally dawned upon me.

[chelsea0011]

83. You mean Armitage....classic imitation or fraud

[bobbyboucher]

87. No, Clark, especially when

he was sqinting his eyes at one of those Repub tools who was questioning his integrity, right before he blew them away.

[BootinUp]

92. thats great bobby!

Right on the money too!

[Sticky]

88. LOL - I just posted that in another thread.

I kept seeing Patton while he was testifying.

[ellie]

76. Is he saying

that Condi wanted to be there but couldn't? What the hell is that all about?

[BootinUp]

79. Sounds like it...yep

[Lex]

89. Condi Rice can't be there because she's

too busy lying her ass off on Goodmorning America, CNN, or whatever.

Beotch.

[PaDUer]

90. No, Condi doesn't want to show..

she's trying to use "executive privelege"..but it's BS..they want her!

[Orangepeel]

94. their "argument", such that it is,,

is that Condi's testimony would violate the principle of separation of powers because a congressional committee shouldn't have authority to call a presidential cabinet member to testify. The others are subject to congressional approval so they can be called. Bullshit, of course, but there it is.

[Cush]

78. Ben-Veniste: The WH is not Cooperating

[maddezmom]

82. and they are getting called on the bullshit

Ben-Veniste is a smooth operator.

[Vadem]

93. He sure is! He asked Armitage, in effect, WTF you doing ...

here since you were not even in the Admin. until March, 2000, so you weren't in attendance at any of the early NSC briefings. LOL

[displacedtexan]

85. Deep Throat was right!

These guys are not very smart.

Sending a buffoon to say, "You're the lawyer; I'm not" was a big time blunder.

This Uncle Fester clone (Armitage) makes Bush* look smart!

[Eurobabe]

91. uncle fester and about as smart 2

[ellie]

81. If the Whitehouse wanted to

cooperate, Rice would be here.

[PaDUer]

95. they ALL should be

held in "contempt".

[chelsea0011]

96. "If Dr. Rice were here, I would ask her" ...this is funny

[Cush]

97. hammer it home

Rice won't testify, Rice won't testify

[displacedtexan]

99. It's great!

She's being Riced in absentia.

[ellie]

98. Bringing up Condi's

statement about not knowing that terrorists could use planes as missiles. Then she said she misspoke in private. Armitage can't really answer for her. What is he doing there?

[BootinUp]

101. picking his nose?

[Cush]

100. "Privately, Rice told us she misspoke"

*cough* bullshit *cough" Misspoke my ass

[Vadem]

102. LOL! Condi told them she misspoke re using planes as weapons

and wanted to correct her statements that she had made publicly.

[indigo32]
