30. Thanks - finally got it to go.
Nora was disrespectful. What a pathetic excuse for a reporter - and I use the term loosely.

7. That was great! He completely ignored her tabloid frivolousness...
...and left her in the dust.

Switch News Bunny Nora to something she's more suited for, like Paris Hilton watch.

25. Remember when Norah called Camp Casey protestors "extremists"?
David Brock does. Norah tried to shill for Bush and the Wingnuttery again today, but Murtha shut her down.

O'DONNELL: You're a Democrat running for Congress. It was reported that Republican leaders in your state were just thrilled that you had decided to align yourself with anti-war extremists. Do you think that this could affect your race for Congress?

ROWLEY: Well, I will quickly correct the record that they are not anti-war extremists. The majority of the people I saw down in Crawford were actually veterans groups. There were military families and --

O'DONNELL: But, Coleen, they do oppose the war in Iraq, do they not?

11. SMACKDOWN!
What a disgrace she was. He wouldn't let her change the subject, though. They won't pick on this guy if they have any sense at all. We know they don't.

Hey, Rahm Emanuel, you proud you got quoted in there? :mad:

24. He said the truth
and he was passionate, articulate and unflappable. He was awesome. Tied it all up by telling some stories of the wounded he's met.

19. Murtha has a certain strength around him
Hes folksy and that plays well with most of the country. And he has the history to back up his words. Wish I could have seen the vid but Im not able . My computer broke down the other day and Im at the local library and they dont have the right stuff downloaded.Hope to have mine up and running next week.

23. That was fantastic. Murtha leads the way!
This is exactly how our speakers should present their position. They should, as Murtha did, resist reporters' attempts to inject political name-calling as a substitute for real discussion about the course of the war in Iraq.

Excellent. Murtha remains a hero.

28. I think that's her first experience with being "humbled" on live TV.
You're right. Unlike Kyra who couldn't handle Nancy Pelosi without trying to talk over her, Nora at least did not shout at nor interrupt, which I have to give her credit for, even though she's been one of the biggest whores for Bush.

29. The story about getting the Purple Heart for the kid with no hands
floored me. Mr. Murtha has a heart of gold! It's too bad we don't have more people like this man in Washington.

Bush don't even want to talk about the broken people this man goes to see every week at those hospitals. The contrast between Congressman Murtha and guys like Cheney and Bush is stark. All Bushco ever does is play politics. This man cares about the soldiers he is helping to send to their deaths. To Bush/Cheney our soldiers are nothing more than pawns in their sick political chess game/power struggle. Our kids are dying every day, so that Bush/Rove can continue to project his image of the "War President." In Bush's game of "POLITICS" people DIE!

How can anyone but a soldier, EVER understand, what it REALLY MEANS, to be a soldier?

32. "Dick Cheney is a Good Friend of Mine"???
Edited on Fri Nov-18-05 04:50 PM by Jack_Dawson
Now THAT was weak. One day he's calling out his 5 deferrments, then he's a "good friend". Whatever - I liked everything else but his previous fiery comments have been negated. Politicians.

44. Draws the clear comparison
to Dickhead's "never met him" comments about Edwards. Been in Congress for 31 years and closely associated with Mil affairs. How could he not know Cheney well? That's the point of his reference, they are attacking him personally, not his facts or ideas. Just shows how hollow all their words are and he will not play their silly game. The man is a serious threat to the charade this misAdministration has created.

42. Dear Norah
Watching Rep Jack Murtha spank your silly fake reporter ass gave me immense enjoyment. Please interview him more often, and please try to find a way to interject Michael Moore into the conversation.
Cheers

45. I thought that was a good interview.
It's Nora's job to ask the tough questions...that's what all reporters do.

I think she showed him plenty of respect, especially at the end.

46. what a little indignant snot!
emotionally she is not even aware that speaking truth to power in a democracy IS part of democracy, IS allowed in a democracy, AND should never, ever, ever again be shoved into a jar and a lid placed over it.

norah kept trying to put the lid over murtha's litany of truth.
