I like this part. Blitzer implies only one lie was told, Dean takes his statement and takes it to the next level....turning it into all the lies. Excellent job here.

SNIP..."BLITZER: Let me interrupt you on that point. What he suggested was that his testimony, his statement before the U.N. Security Council on the specific issue of mobile labs, he says that was apparently now based on faulty intelligence. But he didn't say everything else was not untrue, just the specific reference to mobile labs.

DEAN: I know, Wolf. But when you put it all together, now we find out that the mobile labs allegations weren't true. It wasn't true they were buying uranium from Niger. It wasn't true that they were about to get nuclear weapons. There were no weapons of mass destruction. This administration has simply not told us the truth. And I can't understand why this isn't being investigated. This is Bushgate, which is far more serious than Watergate in many ways because 600 people are dead -- Americans are dead, in addition to countless Iraqis and over 2,000 Americans wounded, many of them permanently maimed.

SNIP..."What is going on in this country when this kind of stuff gets buried on page 6A, as it was in our local paper here this morning?

BLITZER: Well, let me just point out that there is a commission now that's investigating the WMD intelligence going into the war, which John McCain is a member of that commission. It will be released in March of next year after the election.

But there is a full-scale inquiry going on there, as well as in the intelligence committees in the House and Senate. So there are inquiries under way.

DEAN: Yes. I find it interesting, of course, that the inquiries are going to be put off until after the election. You know, if Bill Clinton were president today, there would be calls for his impeachment, there would be congressional investigations...."

2. BTW, is this Howard Dean or John Dean?

John Dean (ex Watergate co-conspirator) has been making the rounds with his new book "Worse than Watergate" about the Secrecy and Lies of the Bush Administration.

4. Howard, sorry about the confusion. I forgot John Dean was in the news.

Yes, it was Howard Dean with Wolf Blitzer. Does get confusing.
I will John Dean's book is great!

7. After reading that transcript

I just have to say that Wolf Blitzer should resign if he still considers himself to be an impartial journalist. The whining by that imbecile in that transcript in support of the Bushit Maladministration was absolutely sickening!

8. It was even worse watching it as it happened

It was so pathetically obvious that Blitzer was doing his grovelling best to defend the Busheviks.

Go Dean! It was great seeing him in action again. I hope he stays in the arena...we need his voice and fighting spirit.

9. He was apologetic for Bush the whole interview. Pathetic.

You are right. He is not a journalist, he is a mouthpiece.

[frank frankly]

10. howard is getting better and better

if we get general smackdown as VP, then the media is going to be EXPOSED.

thank you, Howard Dean!!!!!!!!!!!

I love Howard Dean.

11. I forgot, was Blitzer's hairy ass ever in Iraq?

I remember seeing Dr. Gupta and Bow Tie Boy, but not Blitzer.

We need to get him on a plane over there....
