Sen. Pat Roberts: Wilson discredited himself by being on "fake news show"
Yeah, he's referring to "The Daily Show."

I wonder if Roberts have seen any of the many, many Republicans who routinely appear on that "fake" news show.

5. No shit man
I don't see how that is at all relevant to this whole situation. They are just grasping at straws.

6. Man, they are getting desperate!
Even if Wilson's credibility mattered - and it doesn't - that would still be a mind-bogglingly lame counterargument. :D

7. The "fake news" comes from the Repugs and we've been
paying the "newscasters." I am so sick of these motherbleepers I could puke.

10. McCain, Mehlman, Gillespie. And is Roberts going to testify UNDER OATH
to Fitzgerald how he concluded that Wilson LIED about Niger?

I am sure Fitzgerald could use the evidence that Roberts used to draw his conclusion.

Or did Rove write that part of your Senate Intel Report, Senator?

19. Correct, as usual, blm.
Roberts own credibility is on the line. Looks like he's betting on the wrong horse. I love your idea about Fitzgerald expanding his inquiry into how the Senate arrived at those bogus conclusions. Someone in the WH had to have helped old Pat write it.

Another rubberstamping lackey for the Republican Syndicate.

Last eve. that B*TCH Michelle Malkin made some smart-ass swipe at The Daily Show on O'Reilly...don't remember the context because I didn't watch the whole thing...just too idiotic to watch.

Attacking The Daily Show now, are they...Jon Stewart & Co must be hitting a nerve.:applause: :woohoo:

28. Poor Bernie - he doesn't know he doesn't have a brain. I was
a little surprised Stewart didn't mention his prior stupid book - "Bias". The one Bush kept carrying around during the last campaign - always with the front cover towards the camera. I don't know if Bush was trying to make us believe he can actually read or if he was promoting the pointless book.

29. Stewart grilled him about that book when it came out, as well
That interview wasn't quite the ass-kicking that last night was.

Bernie is such a cry baby - blamed Dan Rather for his lack of success.

17. Roberts. Are you talking about the f*cker who approved mass murder,...
,...in order to profit off African diamond mines? Is that the Roberts you speak of?

That man is a heartless evil f*cker!!!

I'll NEVER forget his empty, dark, devoid of humanity willingness to exploit others. He deserves eternal suffering for his callousness to humanity.

Edited on Thu Jul-14-05 04:43 PM by johannes1984
that bastard who invited people to bomb france .Yes the flaming thurd who said rove should get a medal , and guess how he rebutted...by attacking the daily show (..www.dembloggers.com).. and you just know he had to get it from somoene , because i'm sincerely convinced that man can only spew hate , the direction is up to those vile enough to call him 'bitch'.

They all had a sleepover and figured the new persecutor of the poor christian RW martyrs is a virtouso comedian and his writers ....great going guys , I'm telling you Jeeschus would be proud


Anyone have any other places where i could find video from american news outlets .Especially the daily show ..I'm not complaining , i have three bbc's , but still it's nice to see some american tv . especially with that J. Stewart fellow .

21. Republicans are acting really strange
I briefly caught a glimpse of Sen. Christopher Bond (R-MO) calling Wilson a "fraud" and a "liar." He was vicious and childish in his remarks. I think the shit is gonna hit the fan soon, maybe it all leads to Cheney and they know it! yippee.

23. It's really a tragedy when the state of journalism has fallen so far,
that one of the few sources of legitimate news is a basic cable fake news. I think Jon Stewart himself said that it's a disgrace that he has to be the one holding the elites accountable, because the elite media is so lazy.

34. Screw yourself Sen. Roberts. Look at the GOP that were also on that show!
Puh-lease. He's just jealous because 1) he was never asked to be on the show. 2) Very few men are as hot at Jon Stewart, so he's just speaking from a jealous place. :silly:

35. In the middle of the 20th century - Repukes killed off a democratic
political rival by spreading that his sister was a "known thespian in new york". You know - that meant the sister was an actress. But the voters got the message that she was a lesbian. And the Democrat lost.

What is in the message is the message. The slur. Not the reality.
