[wryter2000]

25. Welcome to DU

It was amazing, wasn't it?

:hi:

[CottonBear]

2. I just tuned in. It's Conason. Wow. He's tearing into Kelin.

:woohoo:
"You didn't do any reporting...it's astonishing..."

[Democrats_win]

[Catfight]

5. give us cube rats a little idea of what's going on?

[wryter2000]

26. Sorry I just now found this

They started out with the thing about Monyihan supposedly not being able to say Hillary's name because he hated her so much. The pointed out where the guy deleted the parts where DPM said "Mrs. Clinton" twice and didn't even put in ... to show he'd skipped something. They accused him of doing that not in error but as an attempt to deceive.

They brought up the woman who supposedly had an affair with HRC and the fact that he misspelled her name. He said others had, too. That was his total defense. He claimed to have tried calling her but she didn't return his calls. Conason accused him of lying about that.

There was one list (I missed parts) that Kline claimed was full of republican activists, but he had never read the list (he admitted it). Conason told him who was on the list, and there wasn't a republican activist on it. Kline insisted that HRC had used the FBI against her enemies. He didn't seem to know that she'd been investigated and proved not to have done that.

They also mentioned that the haircut holding up planes, which Kline insisted had happened, had never occurred.

The showed clearly that he'd done a sloppy job of research and left the clear implication that he'd done it on purpose. They quoted several conservatives who dislike the book, in one case calling it "Sleaze for pay."

6. give us cube rats a little idea of what's going on?

[melissinha]

7. Conason is on a roll

muah ha ha ha ha!!!

"Whats peculiar to me is that you don't seem to care if you are getting any of these things right?"

[dogday]

8. Conason is grilling him like a freaking FBI Agent!

tell me, tell me now....

[CottonBear]

15. Klein is having his ass spanked.

Conason is accusing Ed of lying, not being able to spell, never researching FFA reports, never having met or called the people that he smears, never reading primary news sources and Klein just says "I'm not a political person I'm just a biographer."
:eyes:

[marmar]

9. I'm surprised he accepted the invitation...

But I guess there's no such thing as bad publicity when you're trying to hype a trashy book.

[dogday]

12. I was thinking the same thing

[shoelace414]

10. "Since you don't know the first name of her chief of staff"

"why would anyone think you know anything about Hillary Clinton"

[CottonBear]

11. See also this thread: Consason told Ed "You're lying right now."

14. I hope this is going to be available for download somewhere later...

This is Air America GOLD.

[CottonBear]

19. That was one of the most brilliant AAR segment EVER!

That should be required listening for every American IMHO. :)

[Oreo]

13. That weasel is squirming

He's getting thrashed.

Talking about Melanne who Klein called Melanie and wrote that she was mannish looking. Klein says somebody told him she was mannish looking and has no answer to getting the name wrong. He's just getting pummeled

Klein: you're a political analyst... I'm not. I'm a biographer

Yet he obviously knows nothing about his subject? Lying trash. Franken should dump Penguin for allowing this to be published


Saying it treats her like a man would be treated. Conservatives are split because he's not being nice to her b/c she's a woman.

[longship]

16. Ripping him a new asshole. n/t

.

[Cyrano]

17. Joe Conason is burying Kline so deeply that

no archeoligist will ever again find this miserable piece of pig shit.

[CottonBear]

18. And no one should ever find him. What a lying sack of shit.

Wait a minute, that's unkind to shit.

[Catfight]

21. Oh man, this is better than Stewart spanking Tucker. More please...more.

[chalky]

20. The end was toooo funny...

Al: I want to thank you Ed for coming on our show.

Ed: (silence, silence, crickets, crickets, crickets)

Al: You're welcome.

[Cyrano]

24. What did you expect? Thugs think that style is

something you put a token into to get on a subway.

[CottonBear]

22. LOL! Al, Katherine and Joe just took "audio showers."

Al said "Ewww! I need a shower after Ed Klein." :rofl:

edit: There was the sound of a shower while Al and Katherine said "ewww!"

[Mojambo]

23. Oh, this I gotta hear.

Does the Al Franken Show have archives?

[wryter2000]

27. If you go to the main site

There's a place for archives. I'd be amazed if they don't post this. It was rather long, so I hope they post the whole thing.

Also, Franken tends to post really great things (like Neal Boortz' melt down) on the blog. I think that's www.alfrankenshow.com.

[bookman]

28. Great. Even better on...

..Sundance.

Klein was split screen with Al/Joe. What a twit!

Facial expressions of Al were great also.
