WP Chris Cilliza on CNN claimed McCain no more connected to Fannie and Freddie

[madfloridian]

than Obama was?

Did I get that correct? And the news anchor what's his face gave both an X on truth?

And just before that Chris claimed that McCain's plan to let to some young folks invest some of their money other than in SoC Sec. would not hurt the Soc. Sec. Plan? And they gave Obama an x for saying it would?

How do they get away with that stuff.

Aren't McCain's campaign staff tried to Wall Street?

1. I always did wonder about Chris Cilliza

[madfloridian]

10. That was pathetic.

I hope someone with the info in hand will email Cilliza and give him some facts.

2. Chris Cilliza = GOP Tool!

Has been for a long time.

Lookit him! Can't you tell!

[madfloridian]

11. He has a smarmy smile and a bad attitude.

He was awful today. First time I had the cable news on today, and I see his smirk.

3. That was a HORRIBLE segment. I can't stand that "host" person, but its hard to believe

Cizilla went along with what was an obviously pre-planned setup.

4. How odd

McCain has been quick with fiery, populist-tinged speeches. But one thing has been missing: any acknowledgment that McCain's own campaign has been loaded with the type of people he's been denouncing. ... Several of McCain's most senior campaign aides have lobbied for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. And the Democratic National Committee, using publicly available records, has identified 177 lobbyists working for the McCain campaign as either aides, policy advisers, or fundraisers.

Of those 177 lobbyists, according to a Mother Jones review of Senate and House records, at least 83 have in recent years lobbied for the financial industry McCain now attacks. These are high-paid influence-peddlers who have been working the corridors of the nation's capital to win favors and special treatment for investment banks, securities firms, hedge funds, accounting outfits, and insurance companies. Their clients have included AIG, the newest symbol of corporate excess; Lehman Brothers, which filed for bankruptcy on Monday sending the stock market into a tailspin; Merrill Lynch, which was bought out by Bank of America this week; and Washington Mutual...

6. Tom Foreman is a Douchebag!

I will always remember how ungracious he was after Peter Jennings died.

[K Gardner]

7. The asswipe is crucifying Biden now.. Foreman is a joke.

[madfloridian]

16. Thanks. I have a lot on it...but changing over from old computer.

And having a hard time finding my files when I need them. Saving that link. I get the emails from MoJo, but I missed that article in transit.

17. Dupe...

5. Please see Cilliza for who he is -- a right wing tool who poses as an independent WaPo blogger.

This fool routinely spouts right wing talking point on Hugh Hewitt and Michael Medved's radio shows. Dismiss his bullshit.

[ErinBerin84]

8. surprise surprise

I just looked at his shitty blog The Fix, and he thinks that McCain won the debate.

[niyad]

9. he simply confirms that I have always thought he was a jerk--cannot even stand watching him on kO

[madfloridian]

12. I'm gonna try for a transcript on this later. It was truly awful.

I will also get contact info for Cilliza at WP.

[melody]

13. He postures himself as neutral which means he forces pro-GOP positions on things

Even when Cilliza's on Keith, I hit the mute button (and I NEVER hit the mute button during Keith ... well, except for when President Doofus speaks).

[ClarkUSA]

14. Cilizza has always been this way... his debate review sounds as if Steve Schmidt wrote itdt wrote

He must be angling for access to that Double Talk Express.

[WinkyDink]

15. Wha'? Nothing is stopping "some young folks invest(ing) some of their money other than in SoC Sec."

NOW!!
Some "plan"!

[madfloridian]

18. This is the only contact page I can find. Just for the ombudsmen

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/contactus/index.html

Guess they stopped hearing from the public when they starting lying.

Still looking for CNN transcript.

[madfloridian]

19. No transcript yet for that show with Foreman.

Everything was up already for the day.
