3. He's probably getting it SPUN
And he's got David Frum on with him. Does that answer your question?

5. Mostly. He has an author on
Author of the book "America Alone". David Frum is also on.

The author of America Alone was able to define NeoCons. Wolfie hammered him a bit while he was trying to say who exactly is a NeoCon in the current administration. The author was able to point out that the deputies are mostly neocons.

17. Did wolfie ask about lies in ads - or brealing the common vendor law
with Ginsberg re the campaign and the 527 group?

Nope -

And Did wofie agree with the ABCNote that personal, negative, pushing boundaries of political discourse ads are OK?

the way the ABCNote put it this morning

"the Swift Boat ad and their primary charges about Kerry's medals are personal, negative, extremely suspect, or false. To be (secretly) associated with them (and a presidential campaign) is qualitatively different than working with any of other 527s on either side, whose ads are at their most extreme simply personal, negative, and arguably pushing the boundaries of political discourse."

I do like Wolfie interviews.

:-)

2. Frum is on
Claiming he doesn't know what "neocon" means.

11. To me he's just another Muslim hating
Jewish neocon who would love for homicidal maniacs like Ariel Sharon and the rest of his ilk dictating how we conduct our foreign policy, which is just what has happend over the last four years.

8. Did Frum just say...
Americans need to think about what the world would be like today if Sadam was still in power and "Osama still at large"?

18. I've got the transcript page of Wolf bookmarked...
Edited on Wed Aug-25-04 12:20 PM by silverlib
to see if the transcript of this show is added and I've got the TV on mute while I'm working so I can see if this reruns.

I'll keep you posted. If it shows up in transcript, then I'll definitely start a thread!

16. if Osama would be "...still at large" ??? the last time I checked he was
Unless, of course, it is a Freudian slip and Bush is pulling Osama out of his hat right before the election...

If Saddam would still be in power over 900 soldiers would still be alive...thousands of soldiers wouldn't have been seriously wounded...thousands of Iraqis would still be alive...and we could have used all that money we spent over there to improve schools, health-care, and environment here at home...

...and we probably would have already caught Osama without the Iraq war.

9. Wolfowitz sounds like a neo-con warmonger whenever he discusses Iraq
His previous assignment was with the Jerusalem Post after all.
