This Palin/McCain interview with Brian Williams is a JOKE!!!

[ClusterFreak]

Brian is just sitting back and letting them give a fucking stump speech! Interrupt them now you son of a bitch!! Don't let them away with shit!! You fucking wimp, Williams!!!

Fuck you...you MSM sack of shit!!!

[TheCoxwain]

1. Brian Williams is trying to earn some "puke" brownies

[Uzybone]

2. I swear I do not understand

the MSM; cannot ask any follow up questions to McPalin? Are they not allowed to? They just allow them to blab away and then move on to the next stupid topic. I really expected better from Brian Williams. He learned well from Brokaw.

4. That's what pisses me off...they don't correct the errors in their statements...

or should I say, the lies in their statements. Brian just let them all go by....

[ClusterFreak]

15. I knew Williams would do this too....

I just knew it!

He is such a weasel. And what's with the "with all due respect" comment he made to Barbie in prefacing his question to her about Powell saying she wasn't ready to be president. Why "With all due respect"?? Why not just say Colin Powell said you weren't ready to be president...what's your reaction? Bullshit on "With all due respect"!!:mad:

I'll take Gibson and Couric's interview hands down. Even on their first day of their serialized interview with Barbie there was some demand for accountability from the questioner.:mad:

3. Brian Williams I find hot

but you're rght.

[MadBadger]

7. can you start digging ur own grave?

[kekekekekeke]

10. how come?

[AlCzervik]

16. i guess if you dig androids he's smokin.

[FLyellowdog]

5. He's letting them make up stuff!!! Is Obama going to get this free time as well?

[BeyondGeography]

6. What did you expect from the gazillionaire, Jack Welch suck-up NASCAR Dad?

[TheCoxwain]

8. Jack welch retired in 2000 ...

[BeyondGeography]

13. And he still hangs around the newsroom

Wake up.

[TheCoxwain]

17. that is probably because he shows up for free

maybe he has a lot of time on his hands ( he retired - duh?)

[BeyondGeography]

29. Here...try reading up on the past

it will help you understand the present:

9. The most obvious question to ask and Williams didn't even bring it up...

"Both of you talk about Senator Obama being young and untested. What about you, Governor Palin? What if you had to step in as President if anything happened to Senator McCain and you had an international crisis to deal with? Are you too young and untested to handle the crisis?"

[1corona4u]

22. Exactly. No mention of that....

[Raschel]

11. There is no realness to them. Two of the phoniest people ever they are so

condescending both of them talk down to voters as if they are two years old.

This shows how broke the McCain campaign is as well. The only way they can get TV time.

[Cha]

12. Brian Williams can't hold a candle to David Letterman and the

worm knows it.

[RagAss]

14. Williams knows it's over...he was fighting back laughter on Tweety's show about McNut/Palin....

[AlCzervik]

18. i haven't seen the interview but Chuck Todd said they have no chemistry and

are negative together. "Odd body language"

[Johonny]

24. I haven't seen it either

sometimes just letting them talk themselves into a hole is ok. With the 24 hr news cycle to tear the interview apart later. I find when they're both on together it works to a huge disadvantage for Palin.

[Uzybone]

20. he still needs to do his damn job

whether its over or not. Simple follow up questions are an integral part of any interview. Even hiring for McDonalds people ask follow ups. They are lying to his face and he sits there with his head bowed. Katie Couric was 10x better.

There was a time the press used to be adversarial, now its too deferential...especially to Republicans.

[RagAss]

31. I was referring to his spot with Tweety and Chuck Todd.

[firedupdem]

19. After listening to Brian sort of bash them before I was expecting

a better interview. I guess we have to wait and see what the rest of the week holds. Today was a cake walk stump speech.

Also, that bulge on McCain's cheek is huge!!!

[Raschel]

25. But did you see the full mouth shot of his yellow teeth when he smile/grimaced? Just awful

[nancyr]

21. He's really not a legitimate "newsman".

He is just a mouthpiece. Consider the source. It's all part of their little game.

[chelsea0011]

23. Williams was afraid to ask any tough questions. Journalist, my ass.

But I will tell this. When McCain and Palin appear together they look like neither could be President.

[Raschel]

26. McCain looks like he's morphing into some kind of creature.

He looks stranger each time he appears on TV.

[ClusterFreak]

28. The two of them sitting together for an interview...

...reminds me of a warring couple going for counselling and trying to act civil.

Cold, distant, and forced civility.

And very, very obvious.

They never seemed to look at each other at the same time. McCain would look briefly at her only when he could sense out of the corner of his eye that she wasn't looking at him, and vice versa.

[City Lights]

27. I could only stomach a bit of it.

From what I saw, it was nothing but a free forum to attack Obama on national TeeVee. Fuck "forever tan" Brian and GE-TV.

[krkaufman]

30. Wow, sad day for Brian Williams. He was no better than Gwen Ifill, there ...

... asking Palin about pre-conditions, but letting her off-the-hook without ever defining any example pre-conditions. Gibson and Couric both managed to ask followup questions when Palin was obviously dodging the question, without answering at all; and Ifill, at least, could rationalize that she was constrained by the debate rules.

Williams seemed extremely unprepared, unable to ask relevant followup questions and rifling through his notes trying to find the next question. Was there such a logical chasm on the "tested in crisis" topic that Williams didn't think of asking Palin how she'd been tested in crisis, and whether she was ready to assume the Presidency this coming January 20th, 2009? (which is a possibility)

It looks like the Republicans' snubbing of Williams had its desired effect, cowing Williams into a compliant interviewer.

[ClusterFreak]

32. And on day 2.....

...it's the same shit....no follow ups...just stump speech bullshit from both of them.

Williams I think just isn't smart enough on his feet to stop a filibustering answer when he gets it.

Go blow dry your hair Brian.
