John Dingell on Charlie Rose? Is anyone watching?

[babylonsister]

He's a dem, but for me he has been quiet, but he's out there with the truth! Where'd he come from all of a sudden?

[nadinbrzezinski]

1. He has been on the front lines from word go

this includes all of the Progressive Black Caucus, serious

[babylonsister]

2. He was sterling. Thanks, nadi.... nt

[nadinbrzezinski]

3. hmmm will have to stay up

to watrch TDS, and the Colbert Report, followed by Rose...

[babylonsister]

6. Watch Dingell, and please, chat about him! nt

4. Like John Conyers, he came from Detroit.

My home town. ;-)

5. Someone needs to talk this man up! He was great! !

8. I met Congressman John Dingell in Wash DC over 40 years ago.

In the Capitol Bldg. I was about 12 years old then. He was cool then. He still is.

9. Thanks, longship. I thought he was wonderful. nt

7. Old style, straight up , Dem, plain spoken, honest, tough

he just called the shrub admin as the worst administration since Calligula.

Is Rove Epictatus?

Lot's of common sense and the inegrity and pride that leads him to determine his action by: what is the right thing to do?

[babylonsister]

10. Old style, integrity, pride: words you won't find connected with

this admin. How far our country has fallen-makes me sad.

12. The repugs are not honest- they only play honest on TV.

In their schizophrenogenic world...or I should say bizzaro world- everything they do is the opposite of what they say.

[Lexingtonian]

11. yeah

Saw him earlier. Not bad for 80, or whatever he is. I'm spoiled, though- Ed Markey is my House Rep.

But it annoyed me, once the show was over, that Dingell said nothing positive about Democrats. Or anything about progress on social issues and problems mattering, too.
And that was a dodge on Iraq, there.

Well, when we go out to do battle we do want him along on our side.

13. I conked out during the Amanpour interview ...

... and didn't have the VCR running.

Wish there were an archive of this.
