1. King is laying it on VERY thickly
misquoting Clarke, then correcting himself, about Condi, "appearing" not to know about AQ

he then says that she "heard" something about him

talking about some nebulous PERSONAL LIFE stuff

here it COMES!

they're going for the THROAT now

on and on and on

simply amazing slander

amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111

10. If Clarke isn't being honest then Condi should sue him for libel.
Edited on Wed Mar-24-04 05:42 PM by blm
Bottom line. If Clarke lied then sue him Bushies.

29. He has to lie and lay it on to stay "In the Loop".
He's part of the good puppy press(as Bartcop says), and has to say the right things to remain in the loop.

NOw, they're psychoanalyzing him as to his MOTIVES!

more thug talking points

Wolf is giving him credit, to be fair, about predicting Saddam's invasion, saying he had good rep up til now

until you FUX started SLIMING him

11. I figure Condi has one of two choices...
either

(1) step up to the plate, put her HAND ON THE BIBLE, and testify, right now

-or-

(2) shut the f*ck up, right now

12. CNN: Condi calls Clarke's statements "arrogant in the extreme."
Uh, no, Condi... Refusing to testify publicly is arrogant.

14. Again Condi insults without facts or evidence to back her.
Lots of people can issues e-mail insults with nothing to support them. Happens on freerepublic.com all the time. Condi's rant has no more weight than any other unsupported flame posted in freeperville.

17. stunning
I wasn't surprised by Condi's little temper tantrum, but I watched the exchange between King and Blitzer with my jaw dropping. They used almost the entire airtime to spread ugly and vicious smears of Clarke, even ones they KNOW are lies (they both know he's a Republican - never mentioned it).

So, why have RNC staffers stand there and smear, when they can get two CNN employees to do the dirty work by 'discussing' the smears without trying to refute them, even when they easily could do so.

It was a stunning example of why we need to be on the streets to get our media back from these huge corporations that benefit from Bush policies.

19. saw it too and was equally disgusted
The slurs against Clarke and his "mental state" are becoming more blatant.
I wish they would ask one question instead of mentioning all these "possible" motives.....
Why aren't you testifying Conde-sleeza?
And did you notice that they outed Clarke as the author of a highly confidential memo?
If they're going to dispense with formalities, why don't they tell us who outed Plame? And why isn't one freakin' journalist asking these questions instead of us?

18. I think she really meant to say it was "lese majeste". But "scurrilous" ...
Edited on Wed Mar-24-04 05:53 PM by skeptic9
... sounds less aristocratic.Why doesn't she ask for a special session of the Commission to restore "symmetry" to the testimony. Clinton's National Security Adviser (Sandy Berger) has testified in open hearings. Why not Dubya's? Doesn't Condi want to set the record straight?

Edited on Wed Mar-24-04 06:23 PM by berry
that the WH is going to prosecute Clarke for lying under oath!!! It'll be on right after the commercial. Maybe it's just speculation...

AHH! Dan is pushing the WH--"put you're money where your mouth is". Don't accuse Clarke just to CYA. Interesting--worth looking at on the rerun or transcripts. The WH shill is Tucker Eskew (UGH).

23. I sure hope Clarke DEMANDS that on Larry King tonight
or merely requests

that would work, too

he's been very calmly effective so far

the invidious, nebulous personal attacks have begun

a true sign of desperation

25. BTW.......EMAIL CNN
express your OUTRAGE at the McCarthyism displayed by Wolf and King, in spreading unattributed SLANDER about Clarke, not once, but four times, on the show

one: condi said she "heard" something about Clarke

two: they said something about his personal life, without saying WHO told them, what it was, or anything else

three: more on personal foibles....forgot what

four: said he was "cranky"

27. scurrilous:
from Webster's Unabridged -

scurrilous : \Scur"ril*ous\, a.
1. Using the low and indecent language of the meaner sort of
people, or such as only the license of buffoons can
warrant; as, a scurrilous fellow.

2. Containing low indecency or abuse; mean; foul; vile;
obscenely jocular; as, scurrilous language.


I've read parts of the book and excerpts in the news and I've yet to see anything that even remotely meets this definition.

It does, however, fit for some of the republicans responding.
