Howard Wolfson, DNC pounds Rep Bob Walker on Crossfire today

[liberal N proud]

On source of CBS documents:
<snip>
HOWARD WOLFSON, DNC SR. COMMUNICATIONS ADVISER: I think that's as accurate as the talk about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq before we went in there.

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

NOVAK: Did you give the memos to CBS?

WOLFSON: Of course not. I think it's more likely that it came from someone like Karl Rove than it came from someone on our side.

(LAUGHTER)

(CROSSTALK)

NOVAK: That's ridiculous. I want to quote you from the house organ of the John Kerry campaign, "The Boston Globe." Naturally, my column is in "The Boston Herald."

WOLFSON: That would be news to some people there, but go ahead.

NOVAK: But, anyway, "The Boston Globe" reported yesterday: "Advisers to Democratic nominee John F. Kerry said they helped craft the battle plan with the Democratic National Committee but were leaving it to the DNC to execute to keep Kerry publicly above the fray and focused on criticizing the incumbent's leadership" -- unquote.

Isn't that smarmy, that you work behind the scenes with the Kerry campaign and you're -- the Terry McAuliffe, who nobody likes anybody, is the front guy in

(CROSSTALK)

WOLFSON: Stop the presses. The DNC and the Kerry campaign do occasionally speak to one another. Of course we're talking, and, of course, John Kerry is talking about his positive agenda for the future of this country, and we're talking about holding George Bush accountable for his failed record.

On Texans for Truth and reward:

WALKER: Honorable service is honorable service and you guys should stop attacking him for

(CROSSTALK)

WOLFSON: They were going to dishonorably discharge somebody whose father was a congressman? Come on.

(CROSSTALK)

WOLFSON: He has been a son of privilege. He's been a fortunate son. And that's the way he succeeded his whole life. Absolutely.

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

WALKER: That is the most distorted record that you can come up with, and it has absolutely no bearing on the truth whatsoever.

NOVAK: Of course, in the Texas National Guard, he flew for many months as a pilot learning to fly one of those...

(CROSSTALK)

WALKER: One of most dangerous planes that we ever had in the inventory.

WOLFSON: Very dangerous over the skies of Texas. You're absolutely right.

(CROSSTALK)

(APPLAUSE)

WALKER: Look, that was a very dangerous plane to learn how to fly.

NOVAK: I don't know if you know how to fly a jet. I admire anybody that can fly a jet.

WALKER: I do, too. I do, too. I've been in one, and they're very dangerous

<snip> This part was hilarious! :evilgrin:

Trying to blame Clinton:

Here it the Democrats' ad.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

NARRATOR: The Republicans in Washington are letting you down, sending troops into battle without protective equipment, involuntary extensions of duty, even pushing a veto on health care benefits for National Guard families. The men and women of the National Guard, you've honored your commitments. Why won't the Republicans honor you?

(END VIDEO CLIP)

BEGALA: Pretty good point, isn't it? Why don't they walk the walk, as well as talk the talk?

WALKER: Well, the fact is that, for years, the United States Congress has failed to fund adequately some of the things that the Guard equipment should have had.

(CROSSTALK)

BEGALA: Help me out here, the party?

(CROSSTALK)

BEGALA: Republicans.
