Hardball Transcript: Andrea Mitchell tries to sell Maureen on Dick Cheney

DOWD: Well, on the “trust me” thing. But, I mean, look who the concierge of the family is. I mean, it was one thing to trust them when they had Jim Baker, it's another thing with Dick Cheney who, as Bob Woodward wrote in his book, has this weird fever. He brought America into the bunker with him. He has a dark, gloomy, paranoid vision. I mean, Bush wanted to be Reagan II, but Cheney and Rummy are like Nixon II.

MITCHELL: But aren't they, in their minds, protecting Americans from another attack? I mean, what Dick Cheney said on the flight back from Oman was that it's no accident, it's not a coincidence that there hasn't been an attack because, in fact, they did expand the powers and used this surveillance in a way that it hasn't been used before.

DOWD: Yes, I don't agree with that. And his whole attitude that warrants are so 20th century—I mean, you've got to go by the law. You just have to. You know, we're—first, Cheney and Bush shredded, you know, the Atlantic alliance, then they shredded the Geneva Convention, and now they're shredding the Bill of Rights. You just can't do that.

The Crooks & Liars video clip of the entire segment:

anyone who can sleep with that dried up scummy fartbag of a husband of hers would do and say anything

she gags me everytime I have to look at her and the shit that comes out of her mouth

she lovvvvvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssss the Bushcos

...and still have a United States of America. This, for the most part, been a nation of laws not of men. Otherwise we would have a dictatorship or a monarchy.

Our Constitution? I guess that is just an inconvenient, outdated piece of paper.

:smoke:

and she is not a kid.

...you can actually read her mind as the other person speaks. She sits back and waits for the ideal moment in which to insert some pro-Bush propaganda.

I urge everyone to watch the video clip, because you'll see that Mitchell is clearly shaken in a few spots when Maureen throws it RIGHT-BACK-AT-HER.

:patriot:

needed to be asked, without any emotion, and Maureen successfully refuted all the repuke talking points.

She was merely doing her job in this instance, from what I've just seen.

It's rare that she says something I don't agree with!!
