4. She called the idiot on a couple of things, there.
But she is a bit of a yes-person.

Basically the idea of this show is that people can just go on national TV and spread any lies that they like.

26. The sneering and condescending interrogation of Wilson's
Edited on Mon Jul-18-05 07:30 PM by joemurphy
lawyer, among other things.

"C'mon, I interviewed him. He said Cheney sent him to Niger!"

The attorney did a nice job rebutting her.

Then she let Fund run his mouth about "Wilson said Plame wasn't covert when Novak ran his article."

She let him say it, unrebutted, at least three times by my count.

And her guests...not one liberal among them. Slate...a sort of moderate...detached...weblog was as close to liberal as was there.

I think we could all do better with some newsies that were near-adults when the Vietnam War happened and when Watergate happened instead of pretty young things that hadn't achieved the sperm-ovum linkup when something similar to what's happening now in our country occurred.

But hey, that's just my opinion. If you like her, go ahead.

28. I agree. She let Fund run his lying mouth-off without a challenge.
Frank sat there and didn't challenge those lies either.

We should be sending him onto the Sunday morning talking heads shows, not folks like Biden.

6. Glad to see we're uncranking some of our brighter lights
to rebut all the Republican lies and spin. Why did we wait so long?

Barney Frank's great! I think it runs deeper than Rove used classified intelligence for partisan political purposes. I also goes to the lengths the Bush Administration was willing to go to cover up their phony rationale for the Iraq War.

Campbell, by the way, stinks.

9. Wilson's Lawyer was on, just before Frank
Wilson's lawyer was very good, and rebutted several lies.

Republican spokespeople need to update their talking points. They keep bringing up things that were proven to be lies days ago.

Here's how I'd grade Campbell Brown:
-Understanding of issues and details: C-
-Fairness in refereeing: C-

10. Did Campbell Brown have a face lift?
I know this is totally irrelevant but she kind of has that Joan Rivers look. Her face looks really tight in a plastic surgery type of way. On topic, Barney Frank is a national treasure. I don't think the country would be where it is today if more democrats were like him.

13. Did Fund just say a perjury charge is a "separate scandal" ?
Their spinning is reaching implosion stage.

15. That's how I heard it.
He also repeated every white house claim that has been discredited over the last couple of days. These people feel no obligation to the truth whatsoever. Tempest in a teapot my ass.

17. I cannot believe the number of inaccuracies. They're running scared.
You can see it in the way they are reaching anywhere, everywhere for a life raft.

14. Fund is the pits.
Spewing all the party lines about an "intelligence failure" -- I'm so f---g sick of that. THEY LIED! THEY HAD THE F---G INTELLIGENCE AND KNEW THERE WAS NO THREAT AND THEY DRAGGED US INTO A DISASTROUS WAR. That's the treason in my book. Rove's little final piece of slime is nothing by comparison.

Where were you when that was all happening, John Fund, Campbell Brown, and Amy Kornblut? Why should I pay any heed to what you "pundits" think now?

16. No she is not. She is easily sidetracked and thrown off point
and onto the defensive -IMO.

23. It's INFURIATING!! And Idiotic!! I cannot wait...
I cannot wait until Fitzgerald reveals his findings. If the Repubs convince themselves that she isn't covert, I hope Fitzgerald's case knocks them on their slimy ass.

21. Fund claims the case is no longer about a covert agent
because (you've heard it before), she wasn't covert! He admits he doesn't know what the case is about now, because it's still being investigated. At least, I think that's what I heard him say. Is it me or are they becoming nuttier by the minute?

34. All his talking points were debunked like last week
Edited on Tue Jul-19-05 01:42 AM by Lecky
These people just lie their asses off...

Meanwhile Campbell is attacking Wilson's credibility, and attacking dems for social security?

Fucking amazing.

25. Campbell Brown loves being a D.C. insider
She has parties for all the best Republicans. Unfortunately, she's gullible and malleable. Her performance today was shockingly unprofessional.
