[skypilot]

This should be interesting.

[ewagner]

1. I think the poor

kid is caught between a rock and a hard place.....

[The Great Escape]

2. On Al Franken? What Time?

[skypilot]

6. Oh, yes. I should have been more clear.

Yes, on the Al Franken Show.

[Out the Parasites]

3. What time? any more info? n/t Thanks for the heads up!

[skypilot]

5. They didn't give a specific time.

I'm just going to stay tuned. I'll let you know if they give more specific info.

[skypilot]

14. Jessica Lynch is coming up in just a few minutes.

[JI7]

4. she is someone we can all admire

[realisticphish]

12. yes

while she has been used by the pentagon as a goddamn marketing tool, she herself did nothing wrong; i bear no ill will against her at all

:hippie: The Incorrigible Democrat

[Ducks In A Row]

26. no she isn't

she let the bushies use her.

she's got good medical care, while most vets wounded in iraq and afghanistan are being treated like crap.

she should fight this adminstration, not lie down like a media lapdog.

[The_Casual_Observer]

7. Was that the white trash one with the big nose?

Out to get Clinton or something? What is she selling now?

[skypilot]

8. Uh, no.

Jessica Lynch was the US soldier who was captured in Iraq at the beginning of the invasion.

[The_Casual_Observer]

9. Sorry I got confused on this one.

[soothsayer]

10. ,oh, the WV gal with the staged rescue, whose family was hushed up

I wonder what she's going to yap about.

[skypilot]

11. I kinda doubt she'll do too much "yapping".

I can't imagine that she's going to say much more than she's said in the past but that's what makes it interesting that she's going to be on AirAmerica. I wonder what's motivating her. Especially now.

[Straight Shooter]

13. Unless she's found her memory, she's just going to say blah blah blah

And how we should all forget our past differences and come together and join in bush's agenda, because it's really really really good for the Iraqi people who were so kind to her.

Dear Jessica, probably some of those people who helped you are DEAD now. And probably they died a horrid death. Whatever you do, don't enable pResident Tater Tot. Thanks.

[The Backlash Cometh]

15. How does someone in Orlando tune into this show?

[The Backlash Cometh]

32. I was really impressed with it, but...

what was that advertisement all about?

[Rose Siding]

17. She's on now

He's cracking her up

[Sparkle]

18. Really? Then she's got to be a liberal.

Good on her!

[Rose Siding]

21. She's talking about Camp Purple

She's ivolved in a camp for kids whose parents are deployed.

And they are talking about dispelling the Pentagon rumors about her being a "rambo" type.

[Sparkle]

24. She definitely doesn't sound like a rambo type.

She sounds like she is a cute little 15 year old.:-)

[htuttle]

19. They've been spending the time talking about her foot

:eyes:

[underpants]

20. Her book is now out as a paperback

Sounds like a press junket. Oh well good for her I hope's she gets as much out of this as possible. She still isn't healed and it doesn't sound like it is going all that well-sad.

[w13rd0]

22. Don't know her politics...

...but she sounds like a genuinely likable yound woman. And they did discuss her coming out and refuting the Pentagon BS Rambo story. They are now talking about Lori, her crewmate that died in the op that she was captured in.

[Reverend_Smitty]

25. I was just thinking the same thing...

she seems like a very sweet country girl who basically became a pawn in our government's publicity stunt. She's also doing a good thing working at that camp purple

[proud patriot]

27. Exactly ...All I know is she's an honest person

in these days of such dishonesty she's a diamond
in the ruff .

I hope she persuses working with children
sounds like she could be happy working with
kids .

[underpants]

29. I said when it happened that they had picked the wrong girl

to tell that lie (as you know we had BBC/Guardian story the next day debunking it). I was right..........hey it has to happen once in a while

[w13rd0]

30. And you know what...

...if she IS a Republican, she's an example of the kind of Republican we could certainly use more of.

She's now talking about her experience, how she was kept in the dark, that she was hurt by the misrepresentation of the facts, that she was glorified, and the others on the team she was on were ignored.

[Ducks In A Row]

23. it's because Al is a loser who can't fight the election fraud

hell he can't even think there was election fraud. he's bought into the rethugs lies about why bush** won.

[Gothic Sponge]

37. That why i'm done with his show.

[Skidmore]

28. You know she sounds like a sincere, honest young lady

trying to get her life together after a really horrible time in it. Lord, some of you people need to quit being so cynical all the time.

[skypilot]

31. Was that directed at me???

What did I say in my original post that was cynical? I just said, "This should be interesting". I wanted to hear her, on a liberal station, give her version of events.

[Skidmore]

33. Not you... but several posters on the thread in general.

There just wasn't one better place to address "some" people. Sorry if you felt it was directed to you.

[skypilot]

34. Okey dokey.

:)

[Ducks In A Row]

38. I guess she's comfortable not looking at the treament of other vets

of not speaking out against this war, or how bush has sending people to die for nothing.

What do you think the affect would have been if she's had come out during the election asking for better treatment of vets. Or if she's pointed out the poor equipment, worse training they'd been given that led to what happened to her. To point out that it hadn't change.

What do you think the affect would have been if she'd joing optruth.org?

So now the election is over and she can come out of her hole and use her "fame" for bullshit that really doesn't matter as long as soldiers and marines are dying for nothing.

[Snellius]

35. She was also on FOX yesterday

She still seemed shell shocked. Didn't say much of anything even though the FOX host was obviously trying to use her for some kind of patriotic yahoo.

[skypilot]

36. Patriotic yahoo.

She's always seemed loath to allow herself to be used in such a way. That's extremely admirable of her, especially considering how young she is.
