Woldruff Screwed Leiberman On "Inside Politics"

[Direckshun]

Anybody see Joe Leiberman on "Inside Politics" with Judy Woldruff?

Woldruff introduces him and gives him the floor. He goes on a short, honorable speech - the peace-loving let's-just-be-friends banter that we're always pleased to hear from Leiberman. He says that the war in Iraq, in the upcoming 6 months, is in its most critical phase, and could either be successfully accomplished or failed completely. He says that Democrats and Republicans should call a truce on the particulars of Iraq and focus on getting the job done so our troops can return. He demands that the partisan bickering should come to a halt (and no, he did not point any fingers).

Completely classy of the guy. But Woldruff interrupts him on several occasions with rude questions that defeat Leiberman's purpose of appearing on the show.

Leiberman is talking about the two parties coming to a rhetoric ceasefire on Iraq, yet Woldruff asks him "Kerry has said this about Bush, what do you think?" Leiberman tries to fight off the question, demanding that both parties stop bickering over Iraq and just get the job done.

But Woldruff continues pressing questions like "This is what the Republicans say about you - what do you think?"

LISTEN, JUDY: LEIBERMAN DID NOT SHOW UP TO FUEL THE PARTISAN FIRE.

HE SHOWED UP TO DIFFUSE IT.

God, such a wonderful effort by Leiberman (to get our parties to stop undermining the efforts in Iraq with constant flame wars), yet his point gets dismissed by Woldruff, who I can only assume thought Leiberman's message wasn't "spicy" enough.

God bless you, Joseph. You keep fighting the good fight.

1. It's an effing game to them --

the country means nothing to them; the world means nothing; principles of journalism mean nothing.

2. Fuck Leiberman

He's doing PR for Bush here, and he's a Bush lite DINO.

I know about his record, but I'm not talking about then, I'm talking about now and his disgusting performance during W's adminsitration. He's become a shill for warmongering Bush, Sharon and all the hawks in the neocon community, of which he is part.

Fuck him. He needs to quit US politics and go work for Sharon where at least his paymaster won't be the people of the US and he'll find a warm and welcoming likud home.

3. Is Judy so stupid that she doesn't understand that Holy Joe

He wants Dems to stop talking about the fucking Quagmire????????

Why? Because he supports it and is a PNACer!!!!

Damn she's stupid.

6. Joe Lieberman and his view of 'bi-partisanship

roll over and show your belly and hope the repukes rub it, instead of kicking it.

Sorry, no negotiating with terrorists, so no 'bipartisanship' with GOPers.

Didn't the Bush ass kissing, 'me too-ism' failure of the midterm elections teach this lump of wet bread anything?

7. I turned it off.

As soon as I saw Lieberman was in studio, I turned the channel. I still can't believe we ran that ass in the #2 spot in 2000. :puke:
