Every Dem surrogate should be required to read Holbrooke transcripts
before they appear on any cable punditry show or at least until they get it. Holbrooke undertands that the only way to get a cable whore to stop spinning is to call them on it on air. He utterly and completely destroyed Tweety's panel. He layed waste to Blitzer. He made Lugar look like a State Department intern. And he did it by doing what every dem surrogate should do: using questions as opportunities to repeat talking points and call the whores on their spinning right in front of their audiences.

If every Dem surrogate did that, especially to Woofwoof and Timmy, we'd be a lot better off.

1. Agreed - he was great
When a partisan "journalist" ask you a question akin to "Do you still beat you dog?" you have to call them on it then and there.

2. Holbrooke was incredible
my jaw almost hit the floor. Finally someone with the cajones to take this slacker to task. The not so subtle inference was that if you're going to pretend to be a journalist than you better damned well start acting like one or I'm outa here.

Wish every non-repuke would act like this. Tweety et al would either have to deal with them or be reduced to "interviewing" the old boys network.
