[NightWatcher]

[mrreowwr_kittty]

1. Throw a bone to those of us trapped in the office, would ya?

What's he saying?

[NightWatcher]

3. I'm sure the video will be on youtube within the hour

will update ....

[Beaverhausen]

2. yeah- details please

thanks :hi:

[spanone]

4. up NOW

[spanone]

6. libby & rove lied to him on valerie plame

so he lied to us

[Subdivisions]

5. I lied about the Valerie Plame episode...

Cheney/Libby led him to lie.

[ColbertWatcher]

8. Rove, too.

He looks relaxed.

[kitty1]

41. Does that mean that Fitzy will have to open up the Plame investigation..

again. Doesn't that diaqualify the previous investigation and trial because of perjury and obstruction of justice?

[NightWatcher]

7. "did you lie while working as the press secretary?" "yes I did"...

unknowingly during Plame-gate

[malaise]

9. WHo is more surprised that you're here

You or me.

Scotty - probably the WH - they laugh.

Rove and Libby and the lie - that's the real issue for Scotty
KO - The rosetta stone for understanding what went on these past seven years

[Subdivisions]

10. Bush used 9/11 to further their ideological vision of the ME.

[jazzjunkysue]

17. The ME? What?

[oxbow]

60. mid-east.

[NightWatcher]

11. "did bush use 9/11?. "yes to advance his Iraq policy"

to do things they wanted to do before 9/11- almost exact quote

[msongs]

12. he's a serial liar. why should anyone care what he says now? nt

[malaise]

14. Inside information

I want it

[Subdivisions]

19. What caused him to lie on the podium? n/t

[spanone]

13. Impeach Now

[malaise]

The intelligence was packaged a certain way

as part of the permanent campaigning.

[Subdivisions]

15. Cheney "asserted" Iraq's nuclear capabilities and talked up the threat...n/t

[spanone]

18. of course he did. he kept going to the cia and pushing them for evidence

[malaise]

21. coercive democracy my ass

imperialism for oil

[rndmprsn]

16. WOW...this is very surreal and almost UNBELIEVABLE!

scott mcclland on KO telling the TRUTH?!

[malaise]

20. Isn't that the truth

coercive democracy - of course it's an oxymoron

[spanone]

22. i really do think that the congress needs to talk to scotty. under oath

[malaise]

26. Indeed

IMPEACH!

[Auggie]

23. Coercive Democracy = Shock Doctrine

[NightWatcher]

24. Orwell wasnt that crafty in his doublespeak

[0rganism]

70. Scotty seemed shocked by the idea that "coercive democracy" could be an oxymoron

That blew me away. KO suggested it and he just got this weird deer-in-headlights expression, then said, "wow, maybe it is" or some such... Did he really not see the internal irony of the phrase when he wrote it? Amazing.

[johnfunk]

74. I saw a little of that on his face too, but I also think Scotty picked those words carefully...

... for the book.

"Coercive democracy" may well become a defining term for Bush's failed foreign policy.

[0rganism]

84. perhaps those were the words people in the bush admin used to describe it

"Coercive democracy" certainly follows as a concise description of forcing a new brand of representational government on a foreign nation at gunpoint. The resulting democracy may be a fake, but the coercion is all too real.

[Auggie]

94. Bingo -- I bet that's it

[wtmusic]

25. Wouldn't it be strange

if McClellan, after all those press conferences covering for W...

sent him up?

:crazy:

[malaise]

31. What might be strange is if he stays alive

I hate the liar but I do respect him for telling all.

Good question KO - why did you believe in him?

[spanone]

27. i bet junior and the dick are watching ko tonight

[jazzjunkysue]

34. All the GOP cronies are watching, and praying he doesn't spill everything he knows

about all of them.

Suddenly, Keith has all of their attention, and they're learning what is going to take them all down: KO!

[Subdivisions]

28. After boosh confessed that he had authorized the leak, McClellan

says at that point he knew he could no longer work for this administration...Whoa!

[spanone]

29. bu$h* authorized the leak....hello mr fitzmas

[NightWatcher]

30. umm, I wonder if Fitz saw that. I think he just made the case against Bush

[Subdivisions]

33. Didn't McClellan just also say the boosh has the legal authority

to declassify Plame's indentity and if so what could Fitzmas do about it?

[spanone]

35. that may be the case

but i'd love to see the headlines. espcially since he ALLOWED libby to be convicted.

[NightWatcher]

37. not the crime, but the coverup and encouragement to get others to lie

and obstruction of justice

[Subdivisions]

42. I'm no expert, but RICO maybe? n/t

[starroute]

63. That was discussed here last year

And the most plausible argument I saw was that Bush may be able to declassify things on his own, but he would have to do it through some sort of formal procedure. He can't just act as though information was never classified and tell his underlings to leak it.

[Auggie]

50. Perjury time!

[napi21]

62. Now we know why Shrub & Cheney would never testify under oath!

Same reason for Rover!!!

[jimshoes]

32. Sounds like Scottie has opened up a king size

can of worms here. I'm lovin' it.

[YDogg]

38. i concur

[YDogg]

36. "change ... requires candor"

[Subdivisions]

39. Scott say Plame episode was personal turning point and he

became disillisioned and that DC could never be the idealic idea he had when he arrived in Washington full of hope.

[ColbertWatcher]

40. Does Scotty sound like he's being deposed? n/t

[jazzjunkysue]

43. Here ya go: On the house: Enough for everybody!

[malaise]

47. I have to pass

My mouth is wide open in shock at his candor.

[napi21]

44. I can't believe Scotty is being so open with his answers!

HE ALONE just "convicted Shrub of authorizing treason, and named Cheney, Libby & Rover as accomplices!

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

45. Good interview. It almost seems surreal though. Scott on KO?!

[NightWatcher]

46. I thought I was dreaming too. He needs to be deposed on video NOW

then taken somewhere safe.....I've a comfy couch where he could hide out

[malaise]

49. Give this some recs peeps n/t

[jazzjunkysue]

54. Done.

[0rganism]

91. I don't think the magnitude of what he's saying has sunk in yet

He's basically fingered the president for treason, fraud, and a host of other high crimes and misdemeanors.

Yet he displays none of the requisite fear and paranoia that comes with playing stool pigeon against a mob boss.

Perhaps the bushistas consider his viewpoint to be inconsequential this far into the second term? Or he still believes in the fundamental goodness of W?

[napi21]

48. I'm going to watch the KO rerun at 10PM! I gotta see this again! n/t

[malaise]

52. I'm saving this on DVD but you can download here

later tonight.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3036677/

[NightWatcher]

56. I'm podcasting this to replay for freeper family

[malaise]

64. This should convince them

Cheney should be on his way to hospital about now.

[spanone]

51. hey condi - you fuckers kicked out the UN inspectors

[malaise]

53. KO even has the perfect clip of that asshole

:rofl:

[Occulus]

55. Oh, to the Greatest page with you n/t

[Subdivisions]

57. Keith hits him with Richard Clarke episode...

Had high hopes for a good president. I was in 9/11 mindset. At that point, I put my trust in president and team. After I left, I began having revelations and became more disillusioned and I had to stop and think about "what happened" and why it didn't turn out the way he had ideally envisioned it.

Karl Rove, Dana, and company: We never knew you felt this way. He continued to believe in president. He had qualms. Basically saying rocking the boat was not productive.

[Subdivisions]

58. Wow! This is good stuff. Interview going into second 1/2 hour. n/t

[Auggie]

61. I am SO loving this

[YDogg]

59. interview to continue after commercials

the hits keep coming

[malaise]

67. What was Fox News to you and the administration

How the Pentagon hacks. KO is good.

[spanone]

65. what did fox news mean to the wh?

[Subdivisions]

72. Damn. I got distracted. What was Scotty's response? n/t

[YDogg]

66. now talking about asshats at fox news

[YDogg]

68. does it cost you nights of sleep about deaths in iraq?

[jazzjunkysue]

69. (Sound of head hitting floor.)

[napi21]

71. I think I know what his answer is going to be to the question "Are we

now looking at this same kind of gaming for a war with Iran?" I'm certainly going to listen, but my bet is that Scotty will say "I don't know, I'm not there anymore!"

[YDogg]

75. "they are still in permanent campaign mode"

[NightWatcher]

76. "they are still in permanent campaign mode." "I hope people learn lessons from 2002"

holy fuck

[napi21]

78. Yep, I was wrong! I'm surprised at that answer! n/t

[YDogg]

73. i wonder what they are talking about during the breaks, if anything?

[YDogg]

77. he just cracked dana perino's ass

so to speak

[YDogg]

79. no they are talking about GHWB's dirty campaign tactics against Dukakis

[YDogg]

80. "plenty of groups on the repub side that are still moving forward with that strategy"

or something like that

[spanone]

81. nothing has changed with these criminals

[YDogg]

82. 30 seconds left

[napi21]

88. He's impressed with Obama???? OH MT GOD! It's a damn good thing

they've got all those doctors at the WH! I'm thinking there are a lot of people laying on the floor right now!

[Subdivisions]

83. Intrigued by what Obama is doing. Undecided. n/t

[YDogg]

85. scotty has not made a decision about who to vote on. intrigued by Obama.

[malaise]

87. John Dean coming up

Oh what a night.

[tridim]

89. If anyone knows McCain is Bush 2.0 it's Scotty

He'll vote for Obama. No doubt about it.

[YDogg]

86. john dean up next!

[YDogg]

90. Dean: "he certainly does nail some things down"

[YDogg]

92. Error: You've already recommended that thread.

[Ferd Berfle]

93. When it comes down to it - He's still protecting Bush

[napi21]

95. Sort of. I think old friendships die hard, and Scotty believed Shrub was his

friend. However, when Scotty said "When we were on AF1 the Prez came by and asked me what the reporters were talking about. I told him they thought YOU authorized the Plame leak, and the Prez said YES." I sure didn't see that as much protection!!!!

[Ferd Berfle]

96. True but The Pilbury-Dough Boy has to cover his own ass too

The tone of it all still seems to be " Bush didn't knowingly lie to get us into Iraq"

[malaise]

97. Truth will out eventually n/t
