Who's gonna watch 60 Minutes?

[CatWoman]

Coming on in 3 minutes..................

[economic justice]

1. Who's gonna MISS it???

I'm switching off the Green Bay-Philly game to watch this. Go Paul!

[Wonk]

86. For anyone who did, here's a quicktime and mp3 version of it

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=109&topic_id=4200

[onecitizen]

2. me.......

can't wait.

[morgan2]

3. i will..

begrudingly. They had to put it on during playoff football.

[CatWoman]

well

ALL RIGHT!!!!

[Timefortruth]

7. Was that an accident?

I'm sure it was.

[economic justice]

13. Actually

It's called good, tough, compelling television to counter-program the NFL playoff game. Don't look for a conspiracy there. :eyes:

[dweller]

4. yep.........Popcorn?

:)

dp

and i just thought to call my dad and advise him to watch...he already had a tape in, and is watching a game and will watch later...cool! dad.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

64. Yeah my Republican Dad is watching it - never misses 60 minutes

I'm sure this won't change his mind, though. His main concern is that it's better for his investment account and the stock market if the Pubs are in charge. He doesn't like Bush that well and Bush's social policies but he could care less who's in there as long as they look out for the corporations.

[Dudley_DUright]

5. I will be flipping back and forth

between 60 Min. and the Packer-Eagles game. Let me know if I miss anything good not in the news articles thus far.

[CatWoman]

8. We need a west coaster

to keep us abreast of the NFC game.

[aquart]

6. Present and accounted for.

Also my Mom out in Queens.

[ellie]

9. Me, it's starting right now. n/t

[barbaraann]

10. West Coast here.

I can't see it til later. ;(

[CatWoman]

11. awwwwwwwwwwwwww

btw: they are also going to do a segment on outsourcing customer service jobs to India.

:hi:

[barbaraann]

25. Oh, well, at least I can read about it.

:hi:

[economic justice]

12. Hey! The outsourcing piece looks good too!

Looks like a pretty good Tech-Jobs-To-India story...

[Cush]

14. kick

[CatWoman]

16. ONeil wasn't the only person who contributed to this book

and he's not going to get paid any of the royalties.

Rummy called him and asked (told) him not to cooperate with the book.

[Cush]

15. Rummy warned O'Neill

"not to do the book"

Author: This could be the moment when things are revealed. Talking about all the notes and files he had access to

[CatWoman]

17. dammit Cush

you again???? :D


:hi:

[Cush]

19. hehehe

;-)

[Ivote]

24. LISTENING

earnestly, and watching.
Yes my tape is running

[Cush]

18. O'Neill was a permanent part

of the NSC as Head of the Treasurary???

How does that work?

[Nlighten1]

78. I would like to know too

[CatWoman]

20. wow!!

look at all the documents ONeil supplied!!!!

[grytpype]

37. He's going to get accused of mishandling confidential information.

It's amazing that he got away with so many documents when this is the most secretive administration ever... finally some daylight is shining in!

[Nlighten1]

80. Nope...

In a couple of months he will become so distraught over the damage his book does to Bush that he will hurl himself off the top of a building.

[0007]

84. I have the same feeling -

I hope the public, the schools, the churches and soccer Mons are finally getting the picture.

Cuz junior is gonna be one tough sucker to beat in 04.

[linazelle]

21. "Day one Iraq was on the table" of the administration...

we knew that, how come everybody else doesn't?

[economic justice]

22. Wow....this is something.....

Talking about NSC meetings that discussed Iraq occupation January, 2001. O'Neill has pulled no punches. Gutsy guy.

[Cush]

26. SHowing Maps!!!

OF IRaq and Middle East (Oil and stuff). Looks like the stuff Judicial Watch got

[Dudley_DUright]

29. I want to see more of those 19,000 pages

of documents. That Iraq map was very damning.

[stevedeshazer]

23. Green Bay-Philly tied 14-14

West Coaster, can't watch 60 Minutes for three more hours...

[stevedeshazer]

27. Green Bay three and out, still tied

Punt, Eagles take over on the 22.

[Beearewhyain]

40. Thanks for the game updates!!!

:yourock:

[CatWoman]

28. Fucking Cheney

criminal extrodinaire..........

[Kathy in Cambridge]

30. "reagan proved that deficits were ok"

:wtf:

[Skittles]

49. the only thing Reagan proved

is that idiots can be president

[CatWoman]

31. Dubya always shows his true colors

he was so jealous of ONeil after the Africa trip, that he started ridiculing him in public........

[dweller]

62. Just curious

wasn't that trip concerning AIDs funding for Africa?

didn't *moron include some huge amount of $$ for funding meds for African AIDS victims in SOU?

so, was this due in part to O'Neill's trip, advice, etc?

and they didn't listen to him then, and don't now, eh?

dp

[0007]

85. Yes, and why 60 minutes didn't mention it was demeaning to O'Neill.

[Cush]

32. O'Neill on nicknames (from Bush)

He see's it as a form of bullying

[economic justice]

33. One thing is clear: Cheney calls the shots! <eom>

[grytpype]

34. What a hatchet job!!!!

Notice the story is not "Bush is disengaged, planned invading Iraq from day one, and lied about WMD," but "This guy -- and what do we really know about him -- SAYS these things... he says, he says, he says... why is he saying these things?"

[grytpype]

47. What a FUCKING hatchet job!

It's an outrage! "How DARE he attack the President! How DARE he!!!! Let's give the White House the last word, just to be Fair and Balanced!"

Jesus, that's what we're up against. The truth cannot get a fair hearing.

[grytpype]

65. My feedback to CBS:

I just finished watching the segment about Paul O'Neill's revelations. I wish to complain about the editorial position taken by 60 Minutes on the revelations.

Here we have a very credible, well-placed source revealing a very shocking picture of how the Bush White House operates. Instead of that being the story, it is presumed by 60 Minutes that he must be lying, and the story is "Who is this nut and why is he slandering the President?"

Can the truth get a fair hearing on your show? It didn't tonight.


---- leave your feedback.. go to CBS.com, click on feedback link at bottom of page

[SayitAintSo]

76. Just gave CBS my 2 cents ....

It ain't over ...

[PatrickS]

35. Dick Cheney is really the president!

Case closed!

[Cush]

36. Proves Bush is clueless

who does whatever he is told.

Bush: "didn't we already give to the rich?"

Advisors: "let's do it again!!!"

Rove pushed Bush into it.


And there are transcripts of this sutff?

[spooky3]

55. yes, but it at least shows that he raised a question

which is more than I would have expected.

[Cush]

38. Didn't the tax cuts help?

O'Neill: In a way, but without the 2nd round, we would have had 6% REAL growth. We would have been in a position to fix other things. We can't do that now.

[ellie]

39. OMG!

"Why would I be attacked for telling the truth?" The poor naive man.

[economic justice]

44. His tongue was planted firmly in cheek. <eom>

[Must_B_Free]

52. yes

that was bitter sarcasm.

later he says "I'm old and I'm rich and there's nothing they can do to me"...

[Skittles]

58. coming from a republican

that sound utterly ridiculous

[spooky3]

59. don't worry, Ellie, that was Academy Award quality acting.

He is framing how people should respond to the attacks. AND, hinting that journalists ought to be asking why that question would even be raised--what does that say about our administration? But will they get the hint?

[economic justice]

41. That book wil be LOADED with ammunition going into the campaign! <eom>

[CatWoman]

43. that was GOOD!!!!!!!

I can't wait to buy this book!!!!!!!!!!

[linazelle]

42. I'm seeing a problem here...it's all "Rove" and "Cheney"

or at least that's the way CBS is positioning it.

[CatWoman]

46. Perhaps so

but * coming right out and saying "didn't we just give tax cuts to the rich?" when all along the tax cuts were supposed to help the average Joe looks real bad on *'s part!!!

[economic justice]

48. Well.....kinda, but....

It's Bush is disengaged and Rove and Cheney run the show. Who does that indict?

[aquart]

61. If Bush isn't in charge, why vote for him?

[wuushew]

45. Awesome show

O'Neil "Why would I be attacked for telling the truth?"

Boy is he in for a surprise

[hellhathnofury]

89. I don't think he was joking either.

[CatWoman]

50. Outsourcing story coming on now

[CatWoman]

66. so far over 400K jobs have been outsourced to India and China

[Killarney]

I thought it was good... n/t

[texas is the reason]

51. whoo.. i need a cigarette after that...was it good for you too bushie?

[CatWoman]

56. bwahahahhahahahaha

trying to catch my breath......... :D

[linazelle]

53. The other point made was their hypocrisy....campaign promised no

nation building but put Iraq on the table day one.

[texas is the reason]

63. i especially liked that part!

i smell a great campaign ad here "i do not want to engage in nation building"-right out of his own mouth! hypocrite!!!!!!

[IronLionZion]

54. It's times like this when I wish I owned a TV.

Paul O'Neil was a fantastic CEO of Alcoa and a great Treasury Secretary. Bush likes to get rid of anyone who doesn't march to his drum. I hope president Dean/Clark/whoever will reinstate him.

[CatWoman]

57. there's a bit of video here

http://www.cbsnews.com/sections/60minutes/main3415.shtml

[IronLionZion]

68. thanks Catwoman

nice cats too!

[CatWoman]

69. Thanks

:hi:

wish I could sic em on *!!!

:evilgrin:

[spooky3]

60. wouldn't it be great if he would join up with Soros and/or endorse

our of our candidates?

[IronLionZion]

67. that would rock!

[Deja Q]

70. I might have missed oneill, but this bit on foreign outsourcing burns my

bippy.

Even the US government in engaging in this! 19 states...

sick. Absofuckinglutely SICK!

[economic justice]

72. Lou Dobbs on this

This is Dobbs pet peave. He had the Nebraska governor on his show and raked him over hot coals for supporting sending **state tourism** calls to INDIA!

[pansypoo53219]

71. saw the O'neill segment

the biggest thing i got out of it was his saying his giving nicknames is a bully thing.
veddy interesting.

[salin]

73. I missed the first five minutes...

dang it!!!!!!!!

Any chance they might replay it or that the segment might go up on its website. Caught the second half but missed the beginning....:(

[CatWoman]

75. there's a bit of video here

http://www.cbsnews.com/sections/60minutes/main3415.shtml

:hi:

[CatWoman]

77. and here's the transcript

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/01/09/60minutes/main592330.shtml

[salin]

79. Thank you and thank you!

My hero to the rescue... again! :hi:

[Mari333]

74. whoa!!! My republican mother just called me and shes hoppin mad

wahoo

[PatrickS]

82. Your mom was mad for what specific reason?

That they planned the invasion from the get go? Or how the tax cuts were made? Or all of it?

[hellhathnofury]

90. Victory is ours.

Outsourcing to India...ooo

[Individualist]

81. It was excellent!

In spite of editing attempts to make O'Neill look questionable, his statements came through loudly and clearly. Considering the thousands of documents to back him up, no one can deny his credibility. Can't wait to get the book!

[Marymarg]

83. The book is great!

Bought it Friday and am nearly through reading it. It is as good, if not better than I even hoped.

Highly reccommend it! :bounce:

[0007]

88. Oh God, another book to read!

[Terwilliger]

87. Coming up on West Coast NOW 7:00 PM
