Woodward Asks Wolfie To "Get Real" About Bush Manipulation

[kpete]

WOODWARD: OK. But I had that in the book two years ago, “Plan of Attack.” And there was lots of rumbling about it. And it turns out that Prince Bandar visited the White House between when I was working on that and when the book came out, and came out publicly. And you can find clips in which he announced that they are going to keep the price of oil down…

BLITZER: Well, they’re suggesting…

WOODWARD: … as much as possible.

BLITZER: They’re suggesting to prevent global recession, not to help Bush get reelected.

WOODWARD: Come on. Get real.

1. lol. . .poor Wolfie

He just can't catch a break these days, can he?

[bluerum]

2. Sure wulfy, we know how concerned these criminals are about

the rest of the world. You can say it wulfy, but it's a lie. And that makes you, a liar.

They're all taking it.

4. to be fair

while it is true that wolfie was attempting to play devils advocate, he did smile and seemingly amicably show that yah, woodward was right. He (blitzer) seemed to think what he himself was suggesting was a total load of crap and kinda laughed at the ridiculousness of it once woodward said come on, get real.

7. To be fair, I dont need "Devils Advocate"- I need FACTS.

I'm sick of the "objective" charade- I need facts.

*I* will decide what "side" those facts benefits or not.

Message to Wolfie- "get real", cut the "objective" or "devils advocate" crap and present the FACTS.

15. Well said! n/t

11. You're partially correct. Wolfie also blamed the questioning on

the viewers, saying "these are questions our viewers are asking."

Yea right, Leslie.

[habitual]

12. nope, he said and i qoute:

"I want to raise this issue, the saudis..." then goes on with the question. the question relating to the statement about their viewers asking was earlier in the broadcast. I just went back and watched what i had recorded earlier.

6. I wish that elected DEMs would respond to media people this way.

"get real" indeed.

I would also like to hear "Well, that is one way to cover for Bush, but here are the facts..."

Or "Yes- Bush did 'say' that Wolf- but he has long a record of lying- do you investigate ANY of these things before you repeat them as fact?"

Or "Suuuuuuure Wolf- and your network also told us that Saddam had WMDs and that Kerry faked his war record-as Woodward told you already- GET REAL..."

etc,etc.

Good for Woodward- now I want to be inspired by elected Democrats doing the same.

Shall I hold my breath?

[NoQuarter]

8. No.

[indepat]

9. Wolfie is either a dumb-ass or has his nose up someone's...

:grr:

[Subdivisions]

10. Yeah. Woodward wasn't playing with Weirdo Wolfie at all. eom

[Champion Jack]

13. Leslie is an ignorant slut

[Toucano]

14. SMACKDOWN!

Leslie ain't 1/10th the journalist that Woodward is. It's so clear.

I love it when Woodward won't let Leslie gloss over Bush 41 and Andy Card's non-denial denials.
