1. Thanks for the reminder! n/t

[Democrafty]

2. Okay, that was ridiculous.

2 or 3 questions about Iraq, and the rest of the interview about HRC?

Does anybody talk about issues anymore?

[beachmom]

4. Does she even know about the torture bill?

Totally dumb.

[Democrafty]

5. Apparently not.

I don't know what I expected, because I really hate her show, but that was an abysmal interview.

7. What a miserable, effing, broomstick-riding hag that Zahn is!

Horrible interviewer. Worse than F0X's worst. And the lighting they put on the senator was the worst. I can't stand that woman.

3. That was too short!

And I just can't stand Paula Zahn. What a terrible interviewer. Why is she giving him a hard time and not letting him talk?

Arghh.

He did well, got in his points. I think he should stop saying "cut and run" though. Get rid of the WH language.

6. That reminded me

why I never watch Paula Zahn. She is horrible.

[wisteria]

8. What a waste of space that show is. I am reminded why I still dislike

her.
I just read the transcript, I was out during the show. Awful, awful awful. Not Senator Kerry, he was wonderful considering the interviewer and the questions.She introduces him after showing Bush repeat the same old campaign rhetoric from 04 and has the nerve to say he is calling out the Democrats with powerful words. Gee, did you get the impression she doesn't like Kerry and doesn't want him to run again? I sure did. Well, to hear her tell it, he is lagging far behind other named candidates in the polls so he should just face the facts and give up. And gosh Paula, how about Senator Clinton, why bother interviewing him if you were more interested in Senator Clinton? Now I know why she can't get anyone on her show any longer,she is clueless and nasty. She should be grateful that Senator Kerry even gave her some of his time.

I have some advise for Senator Kerry. Ignore her from now on. Don't waste your time. She isn't worth it. I bet she still thinks President Bush is doing a great job. And, run and win just to annoy her.

Some highlights though,

ZAHN: Hasn't congressional inaction added to that problem?

KERRY: Well, who runs the Congress? The Republicans run the Congress. And they shut the doors on legitimate effort between the Republicans and Democrats. Enough is enough.

ZAHN: Do Democrats share any blame for that?

KERRY: Sure, Democrats absolutely share some blame, for having trusted the president and given him the power in the first place

And, on Senator Clinton,

KERRY: I think she's obviously got great assets. (I am sure he didn't mean this the way it came out, but I though it was funny)
