Alexander Haig - WHHAAAAAT???

[Sugarcoated]

Is he putting out new RW smear points??? Is he a new "soldier" with the a new scummy approach to slander Fitzgerald??? Sure looks like it to me!

[LizW]

1. Did you see his self-satisfied chuckle and smirk at the end?

What a low-life. :puke:

[Sugarcoated]

6. That kind of thing actually makes me feel hate

Like when Senslessbrenner heaved his bulk off that panel and cut the lights and mics. Abuse of power, bad people.

[rosesaylavee]

2. Source? Link? Where?

[Sugarcoated]

4. On Wolf Blitzer

These smear points are new to me, I'm VERY suspicious these are the talking points of the thugs.

[still_one]

3. remember when reagan was shot

he let everyone know he was in charge, of course he forgot the constitution, but never mind that

[jn2375]

23. Hope Fitz is listening to all the RW smear against him, maybe

he'll look a little closer at Rove and the rest.

[wishlist]

24. I am hoping this too. Fitzgerald and staff are paying attention to media

Fitzgerald joked about the report of his shoe shine so I bet he and his staff are paying close attention to the reports coming out spinning and downplaying the seriousness of the charges.

[acmavm]

Alexander Haig. Ahhhhh. Thought the bastard was dead. Another old

militarist turned politician that we sure as hell didn't need to hear from. Ever.

They dragging all these old political failures and has beens out of the closet-from-hell and dusting them off. Next we'll be hearing from Kissenger, nasty old murderous thug. He is still alive isn't he? Or did someone drive a stake through what should have been his heart?

[Sugarcoated]

9. I actually interupted my spin on the elliptical

to post this. It's a puke-o-rama alert

[malaise]

11. Desperate measures for

desperate times. What a lying piece of scum.

[capi888]

5. Haig....alzheimers...me thinks.

Guess the WH is getting desparate to find anyone to use their SPIN...geeze even Wolfie was having trouble with his blabber!!! egads the WH is in trouble...if this is the only wingnut they can find....!!

[Sugarcoated]

13. I certainly hope he's as insignificant as you say

I'm just worried that this is the new tack we'll be hearing all week. Remember, these guys eat sleep and drink evil and revenge. They're masters - not that it will work this time. It's just astounding to me.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

26. I thought he looked somewhat inebriated

He had the happy look of an alcoholic having taken his first drink in the morning. And he sounded like it as well.

[StClone]

7. He didn't learn a thing from Watergate

He apparently thinks having a special prosecuter and indictments are worse than the crimes.

[Media_Lies_Daily]

19. See my Post #18. He was one of the major players during Watergate.

[texpatriot2004]

8. He was out and out lying. Said he has evidence Wilson outed

his wife first.

[rateyes]

20. If he has such evidence, then

1. Why didn't he share it? And,
2. if he didn't tell Fitzgerald about it, and it's genuine, then he is guilty of obstruction of justice.

He's a lying sack of shit.

[texpatriot2004]

22. Even Wolfie called him on it at least twice. Haig had Nothing nm

[LunaC]

25. Wolfie TOTALLY surprised me!

He kept asking "You have evidence that Wilson talked about his wife and the CIA before Novak's column?" and Haig could only sputter.

Wolfie may have been looking for a "scoop" but ended up making Haig look like a blustering, empty-rhetoric fool spouting bullshit.

[William769]

10. Why not?

Remember he's in charge!

[Sugarcoated]

12. But didn't he say

that it's been found out that Fitz is actually not a unbias choice, I forget his irrational, but I just was astounded what he was catapulting

[napi21]

14. Don't you think Poppy is just trying to get all his friends to help

the kid out of trouble AGAIN?????

[TheWebHead]

15. Alexander Haig has been on a steady mental decline for years

and I continue to be shocked to see him make television appearances. It's quite embarrassing for him and his party.

[DeepModem Mom]

27. I wondered about the element of senility --

Wolf pointed out some of his most glaring errors pretty clearly, saying once something like, "am I missing something." In fact, it's Haig who's missing something, and, like you, I'm surprised he's still making TV appearances. Maybe today's performance will convince some that his commentating should end.

[Reciprocity]

16. I guess I can tune back in now.

You know I'm pretty tuff when it comes to listening to RW hacks, but I had to change the channel to the Weather channel when he was started in on how she was not a covert agent.

[shaniqua6392]

17. The only thing worse than a Republican

is a senile Republican. Shame on you Wolfie for having him on your show. He was defiling the office of the Prosecutor and promoting the merits of illegal activity. The politicians would just love it if we ignored every illegal thing they do and just chalked it up to "politics at work". No big deal.

[Media_Lies_Daily]

18. Go back to Watergate and closely examine his appointment as....

...the White House Chief of Staff while STILL a two-star Army general. When talking later with an officer that was on the White House staff, I learned that the guy with the nuclear codes stopped following Nixon around soon after Haig arrived.

So, who was running the show? Nixon was totally compromised, Agnew had resigned, and as far as I remember, nobody stepped forward from the obvious successors to the Presidency. Decisions were made, but who was making them?

Once Nixon resigned, take a look at the controversy that was stirred up when Haig was appointed, over quite a few generals more senior, to the 4-star NATO command. That was Haig's reward for managing the transition from the outgoing Nixon to the incoming and unelected Ford. Ford was clearly a rightwinger with a moderate face...don't forget that he was also on the Warren Commission.

Haig was part of the rightwing "secret team" back then, and probably is still useful to them in certain limited capacities like appearing on the air to dessiminate NeoCon talking points and lies.

In short, Haig is an "old soldier"...one who refuses to "fade away".

[NNN0LHI]

21. And Haig was the first to declare "I am in control!" after Reagan got shot

Even though he was in no way close to being part of the succession had Reagan died. Yep.

[zulchzulu]

28. President Haig is merely seeing if his old, flaccid dick still works

It still doesn't.

ZERO creds go to a megalomaniac who declared himself president after Raygun was shot...the guy is a mad, insane stooge.
