Nora O'Donnell (Hardball) asking Sen. Reed why it's taken all week
for the Dems to put someone out there to talk to them regarding the administration and the war and Rumsfeld. She told him they had been trying to come on the show for a week, and that they had been calling Dem Party headquarters trying to locate someone. Forget the "they won't ask them on." These idiots don't want on. I AM FUMING right now.

34. Second that! She oozes the same lying smiling hypocritical

2. I don't believe anything that comes out of Whora's mouth.
I wouldn't touch anything that came out of her mouth either. :D

10. She is really awful. I never thought I'd miss tweety.
We're usually treated to a couple days of David Gregory hosting when tweety is gone, but this week it's been all "Whora." :puke:

44. when she laughs, I want to throw a brick in the TV.
She did pummel Katherine "I'm not cracy" Harris pretty well, though.

3. That's total B.S. -- unless they only want to go on with Tweety
They know that Whorah is a White Haus kiss-ass and probably don't want to sit down with her ...

7. Maybe I'm mistaken...
...but wasn't Dean on one of these shows on Tuesday refuting this bullshit?

Do these journawhores just have short memories, or thick blinders?

9. Did Nora miss Countdown last night?
I could swear I saw no less than the Chairman of the Democratic National Committee on MSNBC just last night. He gave Rummy and Georgie a pretty good slapdown too as I recall.

Especially with her.

11. So Norah can't call bullshit all by herself?
First, I'm highly skeptical of her claim that her show has been trying to get someone from the Democratic Party headquarters "all week." Rumsfeld and Cheney only made their comments on Tuesday and Wednesday; it's hard to comment on a speech that hasn't been delivered yet. That is, if you're trying to make an informed comment.

Second, why does Norah O'Donnell need a Democratic honcho on to call bullshit on GOP delusional talk? She can't do that all by herself, or is she looking for cover?

Color me unconvinced by Ms. O'Donnell's affected high dudgeon.

13. I'd love to know how truthful this is; if indeed they couldn't find a
Dem willing to go on, that's a disgrace. And I noticed Reed had no comeback other than the fact that he was there.

21. It's not the job of the DNC to book people on talk shows.
The staff of "Hardball" is welcome to invite on Democrats themselves.

27. It is the job of the DNC to somewhat coordinate the messages
a surrounding the platform and policies of the party though and the strategy for the national campaign.

29. maybe moron needs the "push booking" that her party does.
then she doesn't have to do anything.

it sounds like what she's saying is: "why isn't our phone ringing off the hook with an immediate response like rove does?"

14. Too Bad He Doesn't Have The BALLS To Tell Her Why
Perhaps these guys should start boycotting these GARBAGE shows. Even though plenty of DUers still seem intent on watching them.

Unfortunately, you'll NEVER hear someone on our side bash the media. Only the repubs feel safe doing that, since the media is basically bought and paid for by them anyways.

Once, Just Once, I'd like for these guys to say..."well nora, perhaps if your talk shows covered the news in an honest and intelligent manner, without all the BS and SPIN, then more Democrats would be willing to come on."

I guess these networks just expect the Dems to come on to be a punching bag, while they all Tag Team gang up on them, TALK OVER THEM, INTERRUPT THEM, and basically attempt to argue with Every Single Thing the Democrat has to say.

But knowing the Dems, they'll probably just apologize and say it was a misunderstanding. God forbid they antagonize the "liberal" media whores.

Edited on Thu Aug-31-06 07:07 PM by rusty charly

18. So far the only Dem I have seen speak out....
... other than Reed has been Dean.

We have a serious problem with our people getting an effective message out. When they actually do get on TV to talk about Bushco lying it's always in the most spineless, non committal way possible. We need people who will go out there and lambaste these mother fuckers, not pansy ass bastards who are scared to speak up.

30. I heard a series of quotes today on Air America.
about this. Pelosi, Murtha... I forget the other names, but it was a representative sample. When Ms Norah said what she said my inner lie detector went off the chart.

20. Congress is home doing townhalls and she well knows that
Not to mention, Dems have been on all week and doing a good job too. Julian Epstein, Jenny Backus and the blonde out of NY, I forget her name. It's bullshit that she just made up out of thin air.

26. We have got the most inept people to take us
to an election in maybe 20 years. You would think we're 30 points down in the polls to retake congress so nobody cares anymore.

I don't know who's at the controls but they sure need a hell of a jacking up. Reid, Pelosi, Shrum, Brazille, Biden, Begala, Carville all on sleeping pills :puke:

31. miss harris
"you can make polls say what every you want"

yes, and in florida, miss harris can make the voting results say whatever she wants.

(moron by the way: is helping the repukes distance themselves from harris)

harris just said when she goes into a temple to speak she tells them to make sure their candidate sides with israel. hmmm. not america. not florida. israel.
