For those who missed * on C-Span
Edited on Fri Aug-06-04 09:44 AM by DancingBear
Let me just say one thing - short and sweet.

You missed what all of us have missed for the last almost four years - a press corp that got right in the face of the fool, did not back down, and stayed nose to nose until the question got answered.

Someone on a previous thread said it best - since these predominantly black journalists have no access, they have no fear of losing it. The Fool On The Hill had no answers, and they stayed on him until all within range knew what a fool he was.

I commend every journalist in that hall who asked the questions that needed to be asked.

From all of us here - thank you.

5. Any place to watch the video online?
Is there any place we could watch the video online from this? Does C-Span have live video or taped video to watch on their website?

Thanks!

6. I remain positive
This will be on C-Span several times this weekend.
Look for it tomorrow or tomorrow night.

4. And this is why
You will see two things from this little gaggle:

1. No replay ever anywhere
2. A concerted effort by the fake journalists on all the chatter shows to denounce the black journalists for being "disrespectful"

And I'll give you a Nancy Grace Guarantee on the second one.

7. I'll give you the second

But I'll bet C-Span replays this.

14. Yeah, I was being kind of facetious
Imagine that!

But I wouldn't be surprised if the Bush campaign offered CSpan a couple million for every last tape of that disastrous appearance.

15. "if the Bush campaign offered CSpan a couple million"
To quote Gomez Addams:

"whatever they want, I'll pay more!" :)

8. They replayed Kerry's speech on CSPAN
Yesterday afternoon, so maybe they will follow the same schedule today. Hopefully, someone will give a heads up because I need to tape that one.

9. This is why Randi Rhoads refers
to herself now as a black reporter. She says they are the only ones that have the balls to ask the tough questions and not back down. I hope they rerun it so I can see it myself. Bet he isn't used to that!

10. Can someone summarize what happened?
Where was he speaking? What was asked? What was his response?

13. Oooo...sounds juicy. I need to see this...
This happened this morning? I saw smirky-pants on CSpan yesterday, but nothing like that.
