Katrina vanden Heuvel will be on C-Spans' Washington Journal
Katrina vanden Heuvel, editor of The Nation, discusses the federal response to the hurricane and Iraq policy.

Right now John Fund, the greasy little 'mo from The wall Street Journal is dithering on tediously.

But soon Ms. vanden Huevel will be on. Just a heads up.

5. I Just Posted...This, Too
Amazing...Brian actually has someone who isn't from the AEI or Heritage Institute on.

Of course, I suspect the Repugnican fax blast callers...the usual suspects...are already on the lines with talking points in hand.

Cheers...

7. Really, all callers have been like "deja vu",
I've heard it all before.

She is so gracious and intelligent in her responses. She treats callers with what looks to be sincere respect.

Even when she gets called a "limosine liberal" as she was a bit ago.

8. She's Being Too Diplomatic
She knows what's going on here. She's being set up with the same-old right wing attack points to put her off balance, and she's trying to reason with these low-lifes.

C'mon Katrina...people are dying in the streets! Don't let these scumbags blame and parse away their responsibility and that of the regime they so love.

9. I agree.
I admire her. Perhaps she has reasons for being so restrained. I am so tired that I am sure that there has to be some reason for her taking this stance that I'm missing. It's good to make a distinction between republicans & conservatives of good will, and Rush L. But the president's behavior is far more damaging than Rush's hot air.

11. She's criticizing "shout shows"
Edited on Fri Sep-02-05 09:00 AM by Kurovski
she's certainly practicing what she preaches

Hoping for "civil...political discourse."

Maybe a few years after the mass impeachments, her dream will come true...

12. A Dream...Alas To Dream
Katrina is hated by the wingnuts not cause of how she fights, but what she fights with. She can cut to the chase in a few words that have made her do well on the TV food fights.

I think she was too restrained today...considering all the lies she was being confronted with and what appeared to be a bias, as usual, on Brian's part to put and keep her on the defensive.

Enough is enough. We know there's a great civil disaster going on here that is the cause of the human tragedy. I think there's just too much we have at our knowledge base right now that when confronted with yet another outrage by this regime, many folks like Katrina can't help but wander from one issue into another (albeit very related) and losing focus on the immediate topic.

In a past life, I did talk radio. The concept was a true "town hall" concept where issues were always balanced. The owner was a conservative (also local repugnican party member) who would "keep me honest" as he knew I was "liberal", but in return I made sure the station was as balanced as possible in political viewpoints. Just like spinning records on a turntable, I see those days as long, long gone.

Cheers...

10. Horrible racist woman caller.
Edited on Fri Sep-02-05 09:00 AM by Kurovski
Blathering about "nanny state". Blaming the victims in NO.

She is wretched and pitiful.

Oh, and best of all she said the "C" word. Communists.
