CBS held accountable/Scott McClellan glad!!!

[elizm]

The hypocrisy astounds me...McClellan says he is glad people were HELD ACCOUNTABLE at CBS so that this kind of thing doesn't happen again! Who the H--- has been held accountable for anything in the * administration...9-11, TORTURE, No WMD...and the list goes on and on and on!!!!!:mad:

[RaulVB]

1. I'll remember his words when he is indicted (n/t)

[tjdee]

2. Who else is his boss paying to support his dumb ass policies?

???

Why are we still talking about CBS?

[RaulVB]

4. That's true

How much is the WH giving to Limbaugh, O'Reilly and Hannity?

[DearAbby]

10. No kidding, Taxpayer's money to cut our own throats n/t

:nuke:

[euler]

29. Is that....

dumb "ass policies", or "dumb ass" policies ?

[Elidor]

3. Their strategy: blow fuses in our brains thru sheer cognitive dissonance

[DearAbby]

9. * Never admits to a mistake, Simple Scotty is just a mouthpiece

And it's hard work. :grr:

[mirrera]

23. That is a hilarious truth!! Thanks...

I have a sore neck from shaking my head from side to side. My throat is constantly dry from my jaw hanging open. The only cure that works temporarily is a Cosmopolitan, xtra chilled.

[ohioliberal]

5. He's such an ass....

What goes around comes around he's going to get his, sooner than later I hope.

[EFerrari]

6. The McClellan boys must be dirty because one is the WH Liar and

the other is in charge of bilking -- I mean, administering -- Medicare and Medicaid, an old Bush family hobby.

They're from TX and I'd love to get the goods on them.

[Dave Reynolds]

7. I've read so many press gaggles...

McClellan is such a life-like tool/sock puppet, and he seems to shut down anyone who asks any question of substance.

[whistle]

8. Taunting into civil disobedience by those who disagree....

...like striking a police officer. Once that happens the Bush administration can claim unlimited authority to deal with decent and critics. So they will keep pressing the limits of outrage.

[elizm]

11. Interesting perspective..

"So they will keep pressing the limits of outrage".

I hadn't thought of that. Quite scary actually.

[EFerrari]

13. I've thought this before. Institutional flame bait. n/t

[whistle]

20. Please explain what you mean by "institutional flame bait"

[EFerrari]

22. Best example is the smear.

If you don't respond, they get away with the distortion and benefit

If you do respond (taking the bait) they have begun to control you and benefit.

One of the most trusty mechanisms this mafia uses to control national discourse. And it seems they are perfecting it, using it against any one who opposes them or might oppose them.

[whistle]

30. Ahaaa, I see.....thanks

[goclark]

12. Help me understanding

Who was CBS trying to LIE to?

Was Bush not AWOL?
Did the Secretary not say that everything in the memo was true?

If I am not mixed up, CBS was reporting the news, with as many sources as possible,

The ones that should be held accountable is ROVE and GWB who tricked the media whores into bagging on Kerry instead of putting the spotlight on the AWOL Druggie.

[elizm]

14. Yes, that is what I heard...

That the only thing not 'considered' was the anti-Bush history of the source..but everything else was true. How did it get SO distorted when Dan Rather had to take the fall????

[EFerrari]

15. That would be, the Bushmafia connected awol druggie. n/t

[Festivito]

19. I recall sec said memo was similar, but not the one shown.

The memo was somehow recreated and the secretary seeing it realized it was not her typed memo -- somehow. (Secretaries can be good at remembering exact form.)

But, she did recall typing a similar memo, about Bush, saying about the same thing.

So, I still cannot be certain if the memo was discredited by the secretary and the secretary only. But, CBS is being blamed for not researching the memo sufficiently considering the memo's dubious anti-Bush person source -- in light of the secretary's assertion that the memo was not the one she had typed.

[goclark]

25. So which whore should be discredited

for the embedded lies during Iraq, the WMD's etc. etc.?

[EFerrari]

16. Chris Matthews must be having a "balanced" night.

He just said, "How many people at the White House got fired for getting it wrong on WMD and the Iraq- Al Qaeda link?"

[goclark]

17. He is just trying to cover his butt

because he knows he got paid more than Armstrong.

Armstrong got chump change.

Matthews acts like his meds make him change his mind from segment to segment.

His statement tonight , IMO, was a signal to the WH that if they try to make him a fall guy he will play hardball with them.

HA HA HA,they would put him on a small plane with Armstrong for an exclusive interview and the rest would be history.

[EFerrari]

18. Now, let's give the Armstrong Williams buy as much light. n/t

[sepia_steel]

21. I thought i read something about arrests over this

Am i wrong? Did I imagine that?

[Lurker321]

27. you did.

whom are they going to arrest? Rather?

No, there were no arrests. Not going to be any, either. There is no criminal investigation going on. The only thing they could have charged anyone with is forging official documents, and that would be hard to prove, with no source of documents identified.

[euler]

28. For 9-11 and Torture, you are correct.

I think the poster is saying the wrong people were held accountable.

The only other explanation is that the poster did not check their facts.

[Amaryllis]

24. We are all gonna burn out if we get pissed every time they do something

like this...becasue they do it so many times a day...I am trying to figure out how to stay active without letting it eat at me...it is not good for my body.

[MellowOne]

26. Possiblity scare tatics?

See what happends if you try to get the truth out in the media, mess with Bush and you get fired.

[peekaloo]

31. I really didn't think it was possible

but I detest this little Pillsbury Dough Boy more so than Ari Flyshit.
