The O'Franken Factor: Even Fineman not able to defend *

[Zomby Woof]

We all know Howard "Newsweak" Fineman has been one of the worst Bush* apologists in the media.

Right now he is saying that "there is no way that Condi Rice's testimony will be helpful to the president".

:wow:

Having no problems with my Air America hookup through RealPlayer10.

Howard Fienman is on Franken 'Wow Bombshell" the Aug.6 memo

YEs Howard freakin' Fineman even says that.

HE says that W being on vacation and the timing of that memo is going to raise serious doubts in many people's minds.

Condi was WAY to administrative. That is not what people wanted to hear.

"I can't see anyway Condi's testimoney will be helpful to Bush"

[Imalittleteapot]

6. Vacation and memo timing. Hell yeh.

AND...Fineman just said that this is a political problem for Bush.
Calls into question his leadership. I don't think the freepers will see it this way.

17. I just posted this elsewhere, I agree

In an unrelated site which isn't political at all,somebody posted this in response to Condi's testimony:

"I think she kicked their a$$. I was clapping myself by the end.

I gotta tell you, and I know, this is a political statement that is bound to inflame some people, but I have to say it - HOW STUPID DO THE DEMOCRATS THINK WE ARE?

Bush was in office 8 MONTHS and they expected his administration to do something about all this AND the way the government was structured? They're still trying to figure out which commuting route to take to get to the White House!

Clinton's administration is the one that should be on the hot seat now. They had 8 YEARS to do something about this. Shame on them! And shame on the Democrats for thinking we're all so stupid we can't figure that out!

It's insulting."



A brain is a terrible thing to waste......

23. Very good. I thought that the media whores (stop that!) would...

be swayed by her smiling and mostly calm demeanor. I'm hearing quite the opposite. Even old Wolfie didn't immediately start the shilling. Although with Wolf, I'm sure that ge will get his envelope from the WH, and start making their excuses and defending them.

[CatWoman]

1. woof!!

:hi:

listening now :D

[lancdem]

2. I was just about to ask if anyone else was listening

to this interview.

[xultar]

3. Any reason to continue to doubt WHY we don't need Air America n/t

[lancdem]

4. I think you mean

"Any reason to continue to doubt why we DO need Air America?" :hi:

[UTUSN]

5. The Duck AGREES with Al That TENET "has something on" Shrub

Al asked him why TENET was still there after two HUGE intelligence failures (9-11 and WMD) and said that TENET must "have something on" Shrub. And FINEMAN agreed.

[Zomby Woof]

7. Bush*-licker Fineman admits the truth

"This was a bad political morning for the *resident."

"This calls into question his leadership."

Franken was right to call him on his past Bush* defenses. PURPLE PROSE!! LOL!! Franken zapped him for being 'sickening'. :D

[Zomby Woof]

8. Again with the testicles comment!!!

I think Franken is reading matcom on here. :D

[UTUSN]

14. "I totally trust your judgment, Howie"---------HAH!

Al said, "I've gone over everything you've ever said, on Hardball, everywhere..." FINEMAN got the dig, saying, "Yeah, like predicting GEPHARDT would win the primaries, then DEAN..."

Al: "You've written very fondly of the pResident..."

Duck: "What's coming into question is the pResident's leadership ability and making the right decisions..."

----------Hey, Duck, we knew this from the minute Shrub popped into view.

Al: "We're going to run your purple prose..." Later, "He's one of those whose testicles sucked right up into the body cavity over (Shrub)..."

[DeepModem Mom]

25. The rhapsodizer over W's big silver belt buckle, Fineman,

gets called out, in person, not only for his Bush media-whoredom, but for his "purple prose." THANK YOU, Al Franken!!!

[Beetwasher]

9. Holy Crap! I Gotta Tell You, I'm Stunned Because

I watched for a bit and really thought she wasn't horrible (though I saw through all the bullshit) and would be defendible by the whores...I'm stunned that it seems she's getting universally panned...

[Lex]

10. Haha! Franken razzin' Fineman about

blowing Bush for the last 4 years. Even mentioned how Fineman wrote that stupid thing about Bush 'riding in on a white stallion' bullsh*t.

[Zomby Woof]

11. that was great

"Purple prose!"

[Lex]

13. Franken called it "sickening" too!

And Fineman acted all "Wha . . . Who me?" about it.

These assholes who've been toting water for *Bush for four years are going to be tarnished by this too, at least I HOPE SO.

[Bozita]

21. Did he mention Dumbya's fear of horses?

"ranch," my ass

[burythehatchet]

12. Amazing

they're talking about hsi reaction in the classroom

[Zomby Woof]

15. anybody hear the piano recital??

This and Randi Rhodes will make my day. :D

[underpants]

16. This is my paradigm...I am an expert in a field that doesn't exist anymore

:bounce:

[UTUSN]

18. Hilarious - "A grand piano is being wheeled into the hearing room..."

"And Condi RICE is re-entering the hearing room, wearing a stunning black evening gown..."

[Zomby Woof]

19. Stewart Smalley!!!

"She's a human being, and not a human doing!" :D

[ET Awful]

22. LOL . . . she's an overachiever :) n/t

[Kahuna]

24. LOL! I didn't hear that. But I must catch the rerun tonight...

That is great. :7

[Kahuna]

20. Fineman took off his kneepads (gasp! is that sexist?)..

after the run up to the Iraq invasion. Although I never heard him opine about it, he did look spooked about it. I noticed that he began to stop whoring (gasp! There I go again) for the administration.

[Lex]

26. I hope Fineman is leading the whore-media crowd

off the sinking ship. Group-think.
