Pelosi SLAPS DOWN Kyra Phillips

[Atman]

Priceless! After Kyra "Barbie Doll" Phillips kept pounding on a defense of FEMA and the White House, Pelosi finally said "If you want to be the one to make the case for the White House, why don't you go on the payroll?"

Woohoo!

[FlaGranny]

1. Maybe she already is on the payroll!! n/t

[NVMojo]

"From 1994-1995 she was a weekend anchor and reporter for WDSU-TV in New Orleans."

-------------------------

Wonder where she gets her hatred?

[triguy46]

52. Is she the one laying under rush??

[txindy]

58. No, that's Daryl Kagan

Blech.

[ewagner]

11. CNN afternoon anchor

here's a pic...



she's been a Bush fan ever since they let her fly off a carrier with the Navy pilots at the "end of major military operations" fiasco....(she looked great in a flight suit though :spank: )

20. A Bush hack/fake news bunny...

...from Media Matters:

CNN's Kyra Phillips: "definitely a major smear campaign going on" against Rove

CNN anchor Kyra Philips responded to a call by Democratic senators for President Bush to fire White House senior adviser Karl Rove for his alleged role in the outing of covert CIA operative Valerie Plame by saying: "definitely a major smear campaign going on."

6. I'm doing a "happy dance" here

this is too good to be true!

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

[fishwax]

7. Pelosi's kicking ass

this is the kind of performance I expected when she was elected minority leader ...

[MamaBear]

9. AFT

About F***ing Time! :eyes:

[Atman]

10. She just qualified her payroll statement...

"No one at CNN is on the White House payroll right now.

RIGHT NOW. Now, if we're talking about last week........

[gratuitous]

12. It probably depends on what the meaning of "is" is

God, I love shoving that up Repressive Right poop chutes.

[Roland99]

29. Maybe she meant it was about to happen?

:scared:

[OKNancy]

13. Man, they were both good

why the kneejerk reaction against Kyra Phillips? Phillips said,
"this is pathetic" they were agreeing actually. I think Kyra was trying to draw Nancy out myself.

[cbear70]

15. I actually thought the same

I am so confused...:shrug:

[Pathwalker]

21. Did you hear her demanding that protestors storm

the hospice where Terry Shaivo was, even though it was illegal? she did, and she has been a Bushite since DAY ONE.
during the Schaivo debacle she was so clearly on Jeb and the parent's side it was disgusting. She's EVIL.

[Tomee450]

39. No she wasn't. She was

being just plain rude in her attempt to stop an investigation. She made no sense whatsoever. Mistakes have been made. This is a disaster of major proportions. How will we find out what happened if there is no investigation. In her zeal to help the administration, Phillips went over the line.

[TlalocW]

57. They were really agreeing at the end

But Kyra was trying to take the heat off the Bush admin, and Pelosi wouldn't let her, and she backed Kyra into a corner where she couldn't disagree with Pelosi's statements.

Pelosi handled it pretty well.

[merbex]

14. And it was a beautiful thing to see

and boy did she touch a nerve

[FreedomAngel82]

16. Nancy is on a roll!

She's a little pistol! :woohoo:

[NightOwwl]

17. I'm watching right now!

WTF is Kyra's problem? She is trying to shouting down Pelosi.

Pelosi is awesome! :bravo:

[SalmonChantedEvening]

18. WOW!!

Stomping the media for playing parrot!! I LOVE THIS!!

Go Nancy!!!!

[Dr Fate]

19. Gosh- you mean they "allow" DEMs on TV, despite DU conspiracy talk?

Are you sure the did not slip her some anthrax or threaten her family on the way out? ;)

[NightOwwl]

25. Dr. Fate....

What did you think of her performance? Did she do the Dems good?

:hi:

[Dr Fate]

31. If the posts here are true- she did great. Who has a video link?

???

[NightOwwl]

43. Crooks and Liars will probably have a link soon.

I Tivo'd it, but unfortunately don't know how to upload files. :(

IMO, she did a fantastic job. Kyra was literally trying to shout her down, but Pelosi did not let her get away with it. And her line about being on the White House payroll was classic!

I know you've been after the Dems to go on TV and show some spine, so I'm really curious to hear your reaction. If you don't mind, please post your views when you get a chance to watch the video clip. Thanks!

:)

26. How long before Pelosi is back on CNN?

A good betting pool would be when the next interview between these two takes place on CNN.

[Dr Fate]

32. "We are through the looking glass, people."

n/t

[PretzelWarrior]

23. booyah! PLEASE can the other 99% of Dems step up to plate?

this is getting ridiculous how DEM leadership lets a couple step up to the plate and they gat isolated, marginalized and finally defeated by "political hate speech" of the RIGHT.

[oasis]

24. Kyra argues against the upcoming hearings on Katrina. She says

something like "enough hearings already, they don't solve anything".:wtf:

[msgadget]

27. Actually, I don't think Pelosi won that battle as well as she might have

because the Phillips brought up some very good points re all the reports and studies about NO. She simply asked if what was needed was yet another investigation and I happen to agree. What do we get from these friggin' investigations other can camera time and finger pointing that ultimately leads NOWHERE.

And, Pelosi started off the interview blaming Brown but whenever Phillips asked her about anything that might require saying she approved a budget cutting aid to LA along with everyone else, she said it was time to 'move forward'.

I'm sorry but we need people who can say, "Look WE approved budgets that cut aid to LA and WE need to fix it." The Democrats cannot afford to dodge and weave at a time like this.

[donco6]

30. You know what happens with that strategy . . .

Dems = magnanimous, Reps = get to do/say whatever they want.

Just to make sure, I'll tell you: We Lose.

[msgadget]

34. And, you wanna know something else?

As long as we fall for this 'stick with my party right or wrong' shit, we ALL lose. I'm waiting for an honest person, someone who doesn't base what they say and do on which way the wind is blowing. Honesty...a novel concept that just might get someone decent elected in '08.

[donco6]

40. Right.

Yeah, let's see, someone who freely admits to - in this example - voting to cut funding for the levee repairs in NO. While, conversely, the Rep spin machine allows them to never, EVER go on record saying such a thing. Next election comes alone, guess who has a nice sound bite to deflect responsibility? Dems? NO! No, it's the Republicans who get to skate, and get re-elected.

Honestly, some people should actually think strategically once in a while. THEN maybe we could win an election.

[msgadget]

42. Strategy, huh?

If the other side's strategy is to mean and do the opposite of what they say...then wouldn't it be wise for their opposition to, well, do the OPPOSITE?

[donco6]

44. Now you're creating a straw man.

Should we be mean and lie? No. But should we allow ourselves to admit to failures when the other party never has to? Doubly no.

[msgadget]

48. No, and that's not to say I don't get what you're saying

and I'd like to agree with you but I just can't. I like what Pelosi has been saying but responding directly to the questions would've done her no harm. The other side is stalwartly advancing FEMA as a success and swatting away questions of regarding funding cutbacks. Don't you realize the very first thing they're going to bring up in advance of an investigation is the voting record of every dem now speaking out. GET IN FRONT OF IT, weaken its impact, that's what I'm saying. Instead of being afraid to look weak - w's greatest weakness, imo - do the opposite.

[donco6]

50. Now you've got a point.

Strategically, it wouldn't have been bad to come up with a *better* response - a more direct response than the typical "swat." You're right there. In fact, I think you're on to a more winning strategy overall - but it takes people with real skill and - well, cunning, I guess is the word. I just don't know how many of those we really have. Sad to say.

[msgadget]

51. Yep,

and that's what makes all this so tough to watch.

[cry baby]

28. I think Nancy won her over, Kyra finally said 2 or 3 times that

the situation was "pathetic". "American citizens bodies still floating and laying in the streets, pathetic (paraphrasing by me)".

Nancy has the facts that cannot be disputed!

[katinmn]

33. Nice come back, Pelosi!

[warrior1]

35. Say thanks to Nancy

http://www.house.gov/pelosi/contact/contact.html

[nookiemonster]

47. I did!

Good for her. This is way, WAY overdue.

:)

[EVDebs]

38. If Kyra is on the payroll, it's thru Operation Mockingbird

as have probably been Judith Miller, the NYT jailbird disinformation artiste extrordinaire. Probably Gannon/Guckert and most of the rest.

[speedoo]

41. Please complain to CNN here:

[annabanana]

45. Phillips was very rude..

I'm not sure that if I were a spokesmodel I would talk to an elected representative like that...

[NightOwwl]

49. Spokesmodel

:rofl:

[Blue_In_AK]

46. Nancy's rockin' ... n/t

[CdnObserver]

53. I wasn't sure WHERE Phillips was coming from.

I saw that, and she definitely seemed to be channeling O'Reilly or Limbaugh, but then she seemed to be trying to out-outrage Pelosi!

Weird.

I'm trying to get my post count up to post important Sandy Berger info.

[Atman]

55. WELCOME TO DU, CDN!

:bounce:

[Pathwalker]

56. Yeah, we know he was sentenced today.

CNN already told us.
Welcome to DU!

[deutsey]

54. My respect for Pelosi just rose dramatically.

:thumbsup:
