3. Novakula

Robert Novak - What a freak of nature

[Cush]

7. well, remember

He is a douchebag for liberty!

[burythehatchet]

11. THANKS for reminding me

I haven't thought about that line for about 5 or 6 days. That was a moment of comedy history

[MissB]

4. Al Hunt first

He thought it was bad. He said it wasn't exactly a "historical document" as Rice tried to imply in the hearings.

Novak went next - he pooh poohed it.

Charles Rangle wanted to know why warnings weren't given.

Kate O Brien says it is exhibit A on how political this committee is. Thinks Dems will be hurt, as they never expected it to be released. Public will see that it has been grossly exaggerated.

5. Rangel: Now concerned about Bush's Comm appearance

He seems even more skeptical about about the fact that Bush & Cheney will be appearing together

Rangel: She never would have gotten away with that in a court of law (fillibustering). She knew they only had 10 minutes each and she was very good at answering questions that weren't asked.

17. Kate was one of the foursome

(Sorry do not have a working link - but it's out there)

From Gene Lyons:

"Sitting on a plush verandah in the suburbs puffing cigarettes and helping themselves to a pitcher of gin and tonic. Danielle Crittenden, Barbara Ledeen, Kate O'Beirne and Mrs. Theodore B. Olson held forth on the failings of Democratic women. All four have worked for an outfit called the Independent Women's Forum, a Richard Mellon Scaife-funded "think tank" devoted to attacking a caricature they call feminism and blame for most of America's ills--divorce, illegitimacy, school shootings, the lot. They've made full-time careers urging other women to quit thinking of themselves as "victims" and stay home, submit to their husbands and support the manly men of the GOP.
O'Beirne, National Review editor, joked that given women's support for Al Gore, maybe it's time to rethink female suffrage. She opined that if women preferred Tipper Gore to Laura Bush, "it was because Tipper doesn't have her act together. Tipper's a little heavy, she's had problems--Tipper has shown weakness. Laura is self-contained, a little too perfect."
No point dwelling on the first lady's own figure flaws. She didn't ask these four middle-aged "Heathers" to defend her. Instead, let's take a look at Mrs. Theodore B. Olson's ideal of womanly virtue. When she's gossiping and backbiting on TV instead of a suburban verandah, Larry King and Geraldo Rivera introduce her as "former federal prosecutor" Barbara Olson. She became Solicitor General Ted Olson's second wife at a ceremony solemnized by Kenneth Starr. Why do Republican men have more character and virility? "Look at Bill Clinton's mother, as opposed to George W.'s mother," Olson urged. "Is your mother a barfly who gets used by men? Or is your mother a strong woman who demanded respect for her ideas and always received it?"
Yesterday, Mrs. Theodore B. Olson apologized. After all, she'd been drinking."

19. Wow....

I had never read that. What a disgusting display - "Moral majority" indeed.

[aldebaran]

8. Nice MoveOn ad

"Bush a failure"

[SalParadise]

10. Traitor Novak sounded like Elmer Fudd

as he tried to think up a positive spin on the memo - just couldn't think up the lies fast enough & just "Um-ed & Uh-ed" his way thru the first 30 seconds of his spot.

Idiot.

[burythehatchet]

12. Does anyone like what Rangel is wearing?

[Eurobabe]

14. Bob Novak, old sourpuss

what a stultified old f*ck he is....

[Bozita]

18. IIRC, Novak was AGAINST this war a year ago.

[SEAburb]

15. Al Hunt zinger

Janet Reno made going after terrorist a top priority, where as Ashcroft came in more interested in chasing hookers in New Orleans.

16. Oh Oh

Mark Shields just said "Women talk too much" in order to try and get Kate to shut up at the end of a segment. Get ready for an overflow of e-mail Mark.
