1. he handles her silliness quite well.

[Cobalt Violet]

5. I agree.

:thumbsup:

[spooky3]

35. can you believe she is a Harvard grad?

Well, yes, so is the Chimp.

36. He was good...

He jabbed her toward the end saying something to the effect that they had HER convinced. She is clearly a Bush zealot. She made it as hard as possible for him to get his message out with her continual partisan interruptions. And all the while he's talking, they're throwing up insulting captions on the bottom of the screen, and then they interjected Frist's comments without any challenge whatsoever.

This is a perfect example of why I don't watch TV news - ever. Actually it was Paula Zahn who was the final straw a couple of years back, and this is the first glimpse I've had of TV news in a long time. I didn't realize how bad it has become since I walked away from it.

2. If she was any less intelligent

she would be a turnip.

[burythehatchet]

18. a bag of hammers, as the saying goes.

[Cobalt Violet]

3. She is just horrible.

Total RNC/bush bot.

[The Witch]

4. From "It's a slap on the wrist" to "It's quite serious"

in 0.2 seconds.

[liberalcanuck]

29. I noticed that too. Evidence of our "librul" media hard at work! n/t

[holboz]

30. Hear, hear....she's so obviously a repuke.

And LOL....he's says, "They've got you believing this..." to Solidad about the RW talking points.

[Binka]

6. My Gawd When Did CNN Begin Hiring 6 Year Olds?

Petulant. Little. Twit.

[rodeodance]

7. she tries so hard to be a Fox gal.

[rodeodance]

9. msnbc doing a little segment of it now. Russ interviewed showing.

[rodeodance]

10. Russ calls the Repugs response "shrill"--but they have no idea of what

to about Jr domestic spying.

[tjdee]

8. She says censure is both a slap on the wrist, and "serious"?? Stupid?

WTF?

First, she goes why go for only censure, which is "most people would say, kind of a slap on the wrist".

Then she asks him why he doesn't wait "before you call for something quite serious, which is the censure of a sitting president"?

Does she even know what she's talking about? She should really stick to the important issues of which coffee tastes best.

[rodeodance]

14. as I said she is competing with the Fox gals!

[Marie26]

23. How about

whining "why not wait to see if it's legal?" a million times. Plus, she threw in a lie when she said that Democrats are also saying we need to wait to know if it's legal. But Feingold quickly debunked that. I don't know if she's stupid or intentionally misleading people about the legality of this program.

[Hutzpa]

26. It wasn't her asking the question

my guess is one of those so-called producer/neo-media jerk-offs.

:spank:

[rodeodance]

11. saying Scot M. has just responded (political posturing)-paraphase.

[rodeodance]

12. good gawd, now they have Tweety reponding -and he talks of Hil. Clinton

[Dinger]

13. "He's Got You Believing It (The RNC BS).."

Bwhahahahaha!
:rofl:

[Binka]

15. Snap

That pissed her off and then she started losing it, she was a sputtering douche bag of shit after that smack.

[Dinger]

28. Well Put Binka

You really do have a way with words!:headbang:

[AX10]

16. How can a censure motion be both......

"a slap on the wrist" and "serious" at the same time? :eyes:
How so you wonder? Answer--> CNN=FOX "News"

[Marie26]

17. God that clip was infuriating

She was so argumentative, arrogant & uninformed. Even the tone of her voice set my teeth on edge. "Russ Fein-GOLD, this is CRAZY!" In contrast, Feingold seemed calm, collected, & reasonable. I thought he handled it really well.

[rodeodance]

19. here is her feedback page--send her a big HELLO!

[bleedingheart]

20. she is talking about issues being "political" but she uses RNC talking pts

as part of her argument...what a dipshit.

[Swede]

21. She's right,censure is both serious and a slap on the wrist.

Although ill-defined, censure is a process of Congressional reprimand--the political equivalent of a strongly-worded letter. Legally, the resolution would have no effect

22. Does this woman do any sort of research before interviewing?

sheesh. . .and yes, she DID appear biased, something that seems to be a popular modus operandi about supposed "journalists" who are more concerned about their own stardom than informing the American people. These sort of people need their butts kicked off the air. . .and then we'll see just what kind of stuff they are made of as they are picked up for PR jobs by the RNC.

[BoneDaddy]

24. Ya know...

with all the crap we have had to sit through with this Bush administration, she has the gall to act aghast when Feingold challenged Bush on the issue of spying on Americans without a FISA warrant.

[dogday]

25. You gotta admit Russ interviews well..

He is articulate, gets the message across, and can counter-punch any pundits talking points... He put her in her place, and she knew it... I think this guy will make a great president....

[DS1]

27. She went from putting him down for "a slap on the wrist" to a "pretty

serious event" such as a censure.

:mad:

[underpants]

31. "They even have you believing that it is legal"

That was funny.

[Marie26]

33. "They even have

you believing, somehow, that this is legal." That was great. The "somehow" makes clear how silly he thinks that position is.

[oasis]

32. Thanks. k&r

[jsamuel]

34. He did a great job! He tore apart her arguments and killed the RNC crap.

[Hissyspit]

37. kick

[Dinger]

38. Kicking Again, In Case Anyone Missed It (nt)
