Barr surfaces on CNN with Wolfie!

[DeepModem Mom]

Wolf says was technical glitch, or would have introduced Gore. Barr says conservatives and liberals coming together to say that Constitutional principles have been violated. Says we need oversight, and glad Specter will be having hearings. Says Gore, and many conservatives, are on right track.

Barr says Constitution is clear, law is very specific. President can't rule by "seat of his pants," even with a new crisis.

Barr is emphasizing civil liberties. Says when Presidents overstep their bounds, they must be held accountable. Wolf asks if this rises to Monica/impeachment level (which Barr had part in). Barr says must have hearings to find out.

1. They would never know if it wasn't a technical glitch. n/t

[UrbScotty]

2. Nice tie, Bob

Couldn't resist.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

3. They're letting him talk...

Gaffeney is blowing hot air

[0007]

4. Holy Mackerel, I bet the freepers will excommunicate Barr

and send him to hell with Hillary & Bill. I can hear it now.

[Carni]

5. If someone told me I would be commending Barr 7 years ago

I would have laughed in their face--

*Darling* of the freepers etc etc...and yet there sit the freeps still crowing the virtues of their man W.

The REAL truth of what bushit has done to this country must be REALLY REALLY BAD for Barr to be rejecting the adulation of his freepers and repuke cohorts and choosing the moral high ground.

I think this Barr on board thing has scared me worse than anything to date.

[Brundle_Fly]

6. not sure if it is as bad as

clinton's blowjob, WTF

[Talismom]

17. LOL! Can you believe that Wolfie?! Whatta moran! n/t

[oldtime dfl_er]

25. "so..is this as big a deal as a semen stain?"

what a friggin imbecile. OK wolfie didn't actually use those words but pretty close.

[Talismom]

29. These people are unf---ingbelievable! n/t

[Rosco T.]

18. It's called 'diplomacy' and letting the RULE OF LAW...

.. take it's course... hearings must be held.

[Quakerfriend]

7. I never would have thought that I would say this but, I

think pretty highly of Bob Barr, now.

He knows the Constitution inside and out and he's been willing to stand up to the thugs on the Right.

[Carni]

11. Oddly enough he spent many years living in Iran

I don't remember all the ins and outs of the deal...but Barr's father was government (I think CIA but my memory is hazy--maybe it was military)

I know that Barr lived in Iran for a few years.

Barr was also ranting and carrying on against "carnivore" when it was still thought of as conspiracy bullshit.

[Jawja]

15. Barr had a personal

issue with Clinton because when Clinton elected, Barr was removed from some post - or that is what I understand from Repug relatives here in Georgia.

That's why Barr started the bandwagon to impeach Clinton.

[Olney Blue]

8. Gore laid out what will happen to Barr....

he will be shut out cold by the GOP money machine.

[MoonRiver]

9. I don't think Barr needs the GOP money machine anymore.

Now he can afford to be honorable. May he be one of the first of many.

[Olney Blue]

23. You're right!

Former congressman......

[LiberalEsto]

10. But Barr's not running for office, so it doesn't matter

(or is he?)

[xchrom]

12. lol.

i can only laugh -- bob barr -- well you never know what a new day will bring.

[Dr.Phool]

13. Jesus Fucking Christ!!!

Did it rise to the level of the Clinton/Lewinsky impeachment level?
:wtf:

No Wolfie. Nothing could quite rise to that level. Fucking idiot. Go back to the 700 Club. You fit in better there.

[rodeodance]

16. I had a good laugh when Wolf asked that question.

[Ready4Change]

21. Give Wolfie a break.

He tried to say "Should Bush be Impeached" in his dressing room, but the words wouldn't come out of his mouth. Best he could do was "Clinton/Lewinski impeachment."

It's an illness brought about by repeated brainwashings. Sad, really.

[rodeodance]

14. glad cnn is giving wide coverage to Gore speech.

[Rosco T.]

19. Hmmm.... Gore/Barr '08 anyone?

would split freepdom wide open.

[robbedvoter]

20. Barr? Why not Dick Cheney? Or Abramoff? Vial Bowell?

:banghead:

[Rosco T.]

22. Becasue it seems like Barr has stopped drinking the Kool-Aide.... n/m

[robbedvoter]

27. So, that's a reason to want him as president? Your standards are oh so low

It takes a bit more for me....Having a monkey up in the White House didn't get me to forget what a POTUS needs...

[Rosco T.]

30. you know, the second name is usually the VP. n/m

[Zorro-3]

24. Barr is unusual

He is right-wing as all-get-out on most things. But he has a very pronounced libertarian streak. And sees himself as non-partisan crime-fighter. He was U.S. Atty, and successfully prosecuted fellow GOPer, Rep. Pat Swindall, for perjury. I guess he had to leave when Clinton took office, but he would have expected that right? Then he was in Congress for awhile, but got gerrymandered and ran in a district with more establishment Republican John Linder and lost. THEN, he took a job with the ACLU. He will keep you guessing.

[Straight Shooter]

26. bush is the last person you want to rule by the "seat of his pants"

They're always on fire.

[DeepModem Mom]

28. Good one!

[Triana]

31. So..Wolf asked if it was as bad as a blowjob?

What an assinine, snarky comment. IT'S A DAMN LOT WORSE than a friggin blowjob. His tactic of framing it as if it's something excusable and petty (like a blowjob IS) is pretty low and lame.

But I'd expect no less from that mangy little creep (Wolf).
