Nora, Nora, Nora...

[lala_rawraw]

So she is talking to the CIA chief at Tora Bora, the guy on the ground and he is explaining how he got no back up when he called for it and as he had OBL cornered and what does Nora ask him????

Are you a Democrat? asks Nora. He is a Republican, but that is beside the point. Are we at a point where no matter what your expertise you must declare your papers in order to present your findings? Wow!!!

[CatWoman]

1. I almost fainted when she asked him if he was a Dem

I'm like, :wtf:??????

[Atman]

4. Stopped her in her tracks for a second.

She seemed sure he'd say Dem.

What a shameful performance by Nora The Whora. IOW, par for the course.

[hiley]

6. same here

:argh:

[NewJeffCT]

2. This story was CONFIRMED by the Wall Street Journal!!

how much more Republican a source can you get????

[annabanana]

3. I hope that question was as jarring

for everyone else watching as it was for me...

[Democrat 4 Ever]

10. Count me as pissed. Nora must have been at that White House Christmas

Party with Tweety. She is practically genuflecting for Chimpy & Co. tonight. She is especially whorish tonight. Are you a Dem or Repub - she honestly doesn't realize what a "moranic" question that was.

[Jeanette in FL]

11. It was for me

When she asked him "Are you a Democrat", I said to myself would this make any difference if he were? He was on the ground in Tora Bora asking for Military assistance and got no help from Centcom (Tommy Franks) in Tampa Florida. I kept thinking about Sy Hersch's article back from those days of letting BinLadin go in Tora Bora.

[TomInTib]

5. That was certainly a high point in modern "journalism",eh?

I could not believe that amateurish crap.

[lala_rawraw]

21. I have had it with the press and its whorish

trick and treating... i am on the air right now and from this point on, everywhere I go, every show I am on, even if we are talking about toe nail clippings, I am going to call these people out... i am so pissed and my god, what they have helped happen to this country.

[TomInTib]

25. Give 'em hell, Larisa. Wish I knew when you were on the air.

The only way the MSM will get any cojones is if we sew them back on the eunuchs.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

7. Obviously, because he is criticizing the strategy that led

to Osama's escape, in Norah the Whorah's mind he would have to be a Democrat, because a good, God-fearing Bush-sucking Republican would never criticize anything having to do with the GWOT.

:puke:

[Nimrod2005]

8. Norah is not a good interviewer at all...Talks alot and gets nothing

out of her guests ---- Hard to watch her do an interview.

[Jane Austin]

26. She interrupts all the time - - and shows no respect for people whose

shoes she could not rightly shine.

And when she interrupts, yikes, her voice is SCREECHY!

[donheld]

9. Whora Nora on Tora Bora

:crazy:

[sasha031]

12. think she should find another profession

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

16. Obviously she already has.

You don't have to hang around street corners in fishnet stockings and a faux-leather miniskirt to be a whore.

[Poiuyt]

28. Woof!!

Norah in fishnet stockings and a miniskirt. That's what I'm talking about!

Actually, I got the impression that she was giving him the type of questions that could help him. It sounded like she was trying to get him to throw Tommy Franks under the bus.

[acmejack]

13. Unbelievable!

Well, not really, but damn! I am sure the video will be up at media matters soon. I can't write a snark-o-gram to them before I see the tape.

[Pithy Cherub]

14. Good thing Nora didn't have to be smart to get the job.

Honestly, isn't she trying a bit hard to be the female version of Tweety & No Facts. Sheesh!

[Garbo 2004]

15. WTF??? I guess if he was a Dem she'd call him a liar and a Dem op?

(Because as we know, the intel agencies are just loaded to the rafters with liberal Dems, eh? Uh huh. Not.)

:argh:

[Canuckistanian]

19. Exactly! A Democrat will lie more often?

A Democrat will betray his/her country more often? A Democrat will conspire with the enemy more often?

Thank God we have a "liberal media".

:mad:

[deminks]

17. Please e-mail the show

and let them know what you think of the ditzy Nora. I have. I cannot watch her at all. Her ignorance is stunning.

[e-mail]

[HysteryDiagnosis]

18. He shoulda come back with.... them roots ain't dark are they.... nt.

[lala_rawraw]

20. The question is or what should be asked is...

Nora, are you a Republican?

[johnaries]

22. He was also interviewed on the Situation Room

(MSNBC is no longer part of basic service on Dish. I miss KO, but he's the only thing I watch on MSNBC).

Didn't catch the name of the stand-in interviewer, but at one point he held up the agent's book (now I've forgotten HIS name! I'm just not much on names tonight) and opened it to a page that was mostly blacked-out. When asked why the CIA had redacted so much of his book including info that had already been published in other books, the agent said "I don't think they wanted my story to get out".

He was within a MILE of OBL, listening to him talk on a "push to talk" radio. When asked about Tommy Franks' comments about not knowing if OBL was there or not, he said that he was the agent on the ground and the CIA and military were getting all their intel from him.

Very powerful interview,IMHO.

[WestHoustonDem]

23. I had a different take on the question

I think think she knew the answer ahead of time and thought (mistakenly) that by saying he voted for Bush it would add to his credibility.

[madmunchie]

24. I got the impression that it was just one question of her many questions

The Democrat question came towards the end of the interview. She actually grilled him more on being positive about being able to capture Bin Laden and was rather detailed in her questioning of him.

I thought that she did a decent job and the question about being a Democrat actually ended up strengthening his claims.

Why not ask a direct question about party affiliation? Before she asked him, I would have thought that he was more Democrat than Republican AND I would not have guessed that he supported Bush. Her question really helped the Democrats. Her question showed that his opinion and recollection of the events had nothing to do with party affiliation.

I just don't understand why this guy supports Bush, that is what puzzled me.

If I were to e-mail her, I would say "Thank you".

[Cleita]

27. I missed that because I don't watch any of the whore news

channels anymore, but that certainly deserves some outrage and indignation. Maybe the journalists of the world need to set up an institute of journalistic excellence.

Good journalists would get prizes for excellence in reporting and then you could have various raspberry awards for that type of reporting. You could call thenm the Joe Gannon awards or something like that.

I mean it seems like the only thing in the past that made people want to excel in their field was recognition from their fellow professionals. Could it be worth a try?

[gulliver]

29. I think you folks might be misjudging Norah.

I'm assuming we are talking about Norah O'Donnell? Maybe she already knew the guy was a Republican and asked the question so that everyone would know it. Based on her previous reporting, I believe that is likely.

Remember when Bush gave his big speech at Fort Bragg not so long ago and was greeted with silence from the military audience. Bush got one burst of applause, and that was prompted by his own media flacks. I remember Norah O'Donnell pointing that fact out repeatedly.

[insane_cratic_gal]

30. If she were smart, she could of said

For the record, your a registered republican?

I'd assume she gets as much backlash from the right-wing freepers as she does from us. Perhaps he was merely trying to diffuse what she felt would be a flame fest from freepers? "See, it's more media bias, i bet that guy is a registered democrat!"

Could she of been trying to be-head that hydra before it sprouted more heads?

Maybe I am giving her too much credit, but is it possible?

[Avalux]

31. Nora's a good little pet. She does what she's told by Bushco.

Think about it! Wouldn't you if you were given all the perks that go along with belonging to the WH Press Corps? I mean my gosh - the parties; the free gifts; the bonuses! How could a girl pass that up?? :D
