Fox News Meltdown - Vanity Fair Blasts the $40m Inauguration in Wartime.
Edited on Thu Jan-20-05 04:28 PM by FreepFryer
Great blog post and video of Fox News' Brigitte Quinn melting down at Vanity Fair's Judy Bachrach... I guess they thought she'd talk tablecloths, but she let them have it!

at http://www.oliverwillis.com/node/view/1695

Quinn: "What should they have cut back on?"

Bachrach: "How about 40 million dollars? We have soldiers who are incapable of protecting themselves in their Humvees in Iraq. They have to use bits of scrap metal, and their Humvees are sitting ducks... targets for bombs. And we have a president who's using $40 million to have a party. That's a start."

"What would you suggest for the Inauguration? How would you do it?"

"Just like FDR, he was in wartime, I think you'll agree he was a fine President,with a sense of what's appropriate, and what's not. During a time of war, 10 parties are not appropriate."

"Gee, that prayer service will sure keep our troops safe in their flimsy vehicles in Iraq. I'd rather see that money going to that."

Quinn: "Alright, alright. Judy Bachrach, I think we've given you more than your time to speak."

Bachrach: "Well, (smiling) thanks for having me."

11. Any other link for that video?
I can't view it at the Oliver Willis site, and can't find it on Fox's site (what a surprise!)

Thanks.

19. Go Judy! Notice how she was cut off when Brigitte couldn't
get her to change the subject. This is how repugs "debate".
They are so narrow minded they can't take a moment to
listen to someone's heart-felt feelings.

24. That was great...
I so enjoyed a Democrat kicking ass on Faux News, and getting more than a word in edgewise. Wish all Dems would be like that.
