EMAIL COKIE ROBERTS!

[Blue_Roses]

She was in full spin mode for Bush this morning. I couldn't believe the out and out lies she was spewing. Here's a thread highlighting just a few:

1. I have this dim memory of when she was a Democrat.

Am I delusional? Was she always a latent puke? I just heard hear say how well Shrub's mental meltdown played inside the hall Friday night. WTF? I could see people's faces and they frankly looked a bit frightened to me or at the very least befuddled. Cokie managed to find a way to spout her Shrub love in a way that's hard to dispute since so few reporters were actually in the hall.

I stopped watching after that whopper escaped her lips.

[Shopaholic]

2. Thanks for the addy

I asked them if she thought the viewing audience at the debate was blind, or stupid, or both because following the debate I saw on Friday night, you could clearly see Kerry in the audience answering questions, totally surrounded by the debate participants.

[Mr E McSquare]

6. Isnt she married.....

to Allen Greenspan??????????????

[Narraback]

9. That is Andra Mithchell

I think.

[chaumont58]

10. You're thinking of Andrea Mitchell

Or as MS-RNC says: "Our chief diplomatic correspondent." Man, that face would stop a nine day clock.

[flpoljunkie]

13. Andrea Mitchell is most assuredly married to Alan Greenspan.

[mountainvue]

14. No that's Andrea Mitchell. n/t

[dogtag]

15. Cokie is married to Steve Roberts who

writes for the right leaning U.S. News and World Report and pops up now and then as a TV talking head.

[Mr E McSquare]

30. OK my mistake. Jeeze.

[are_we_united_yet]

3. Why waste the bandwith on her?

I understand and agree with the sentiment but ABC always props up *.

:shrug:

[Catt03]

4. Cokie's parent were the Boggs

Democrats from Tennessee, both parents in Congress.

I think Cokie is one of those Southern bells that suffered from afluenza, found a career that would put all the attention on her and has no idea what the rest of humanity does in reference to life struggles or decisions.

She is out of the loop of real life...pity her.

[vickie]

8. I think Cokie's parents are from Louisiana

[Southern Patriot]

21. Hale Boggs, D-LA

from Wikipedia:

During his tenure in Congress, Boggs was an influential player in the government. He was instrumental in passage of the interstate highway program in 1956, and was a member of the Warren Commission in 1963-4. He served as Majority Whip from 1961-1970 and as majority leader (from January 1971). As majority whip, he ushered much of President Johnson's Great Society legislation through Congress.

His influence also led to charges of corruption. Controversy surrounded him, when a contractor who remodeled his home in Bethesda, Maryland at a reduced cost sought his help for obtaining a $5 milllion extra payment for building a garage adjacent to the United States Capitol building.

As Majority Leader he campaigned tirelessly for others. He was aboard a twin engine Cessna 310 with Representative Nick Begich when it disappeared during a flight from Anchorage to Juneau, Alaska. Two others were aboard, Begich's aide and the pilot. The four were heading for a campaign fund raiser for Begich. In the largest search ever mounted by the US military, Coast Guard, Navy, and Air Force planes searched for him. The search was abandoned after 39 days, no remains were ever found. Both he and Begich were re-elected that November. House Resolution 1 of January 3, 1973 officially recognized Boggs' presumed death and opened the way for a special election. In 1973 Boggs' wife, Lindy, was elected to the second district seat left vacant by his death.

He married Corrinne Morrison Claiborne, known as Lindy Boggs, in 1938. They had three children: television commentator Cokie Roberts, prominent attorney and lobbyist Thomas Hale Boggs Jr., and Barbara Boggs Sigmund.

32. And Lindy Boggs

I can't believe their daughter has turned out to be such as evil little PoS.

[Catt03]

23. My wrong

Louisiana not Tennessee

[KharmaTrain]

18. Affluezna!!! Excellent

One word says it all. That's now going into my lexicon. Cheers!

[sherilocks]

5. Already done

I was so mad I sent the email while watching the show.

[MoonRiver]

7. ABC is definitely the worst whore of them all. Worse than FAUX even.

I haven't looked at ABC or one of its affiliates for years. And my bloodpressure is much better off for it.

[The_Casual_Observer]

11. Roberts is divorced from reality. She is a beltway groupie

Who looks at all of this a mildly amusing entertainment, not as anything that will affect the lives of people. All of those "analysts" behave the same way.

[senseandsensibility]

12. Done

Sent her a blistering one. Let's hit her, DUers! If we swamp her with e-mails, she MIGHT not dare to lie about this on NPR tomorrow morning!

[spartan61]

29. I heard her this morning, too

and could feel my blood pressure rising. After reading this thread, I also sent her a scathing e-mail. I told her to apply to Faux News because her MO fits their criteria. Lies and Opinions passed off as news.

[zulchzulu]

16. One of her lies was about how all the question folks went right over to *

If you look at the video of the event, it was anything but...

[watercolors]

17. wouldn,t waste my time on the whore!

nt

[Oak2004]

19. Did it

I went for the gentle approach -- suggesting she might have "misspoken", and said I double checked my memory of the event over at CSPAN. I finished by mentioning that I was a Republican for over 20 years (true), now an independent (true at the national level: at the state level, I'm a Prog).

[Blue_Roses]

20. good!

:D

[rndmprsn]

22. My email to cookie...oh i mean cokie

COKIE

ive always thought that you were a poor excuse for a journalist...but after watching you for the past few weeks spewing lies and dis-information i now believe that you are a poor excuse for a human being...you should be ashamed of yourself, your dead father must be turning over in his grave...the apple def fell very far from the tree.

get a real job and stop pretending to be a journalist, becuase no-one believes it.

when the truth squad come out looking for you, you should be very afraid.

PATHETIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[K8-EEE]

24. Kookie Cokie!

I emailed them and reminded them that before the first debate she said that it was more "who looked more presidential" than substance that would decide it and then when * crashed & burned she completely changed tactics, she goes whichever way the Rove wind blows. She's not a commentator, but a Bush shill!

[ldf]

25. she goes whichever way the Rove wind blows

are you saying that rove farts, and cokie sniffs?

:evilgrin:

[Sideways]

26. I Wrote And Told Her How Horrible Her Clothes Looked

A punk and whore shill just hates to be told her suit is bad. And I added that she doesn't seem to have the wrinkle Bush had during the debates.

Cokie you just look like you shopped at WalMart. Bad Bad fashion you twisted out of touch fuckwad.

[welshTerrier2]

27. she was beyond hideous

not only was she ignorantly partisan, but she just went on and on and on and on ...

it they have her on again, I won't be watching ...

[Sick_of_Rethuggery]

28. Here's my letter to thisweek...

Do you all realize how asinine you sound when you are shilling for this corrupt unscrupulous administration? I hope at least history will bring justice to you all -- this era will be remembered as the most shameful media performance in all of human history.

Read Keith Olbermann's speech at Cornell here and weep:

http://4.7.10.52/Generally%20Interesting/Olbermann_speech.txt

Shame on you all.
====================================================================

I then gave them my name and phone number! Honestly, just like we heap scorn on the robber baron years now, history will not be kind to these overpaid, smug, incompetents masquerading as journalists -- I really wish I were that historical judge visiting them...

[Triana]

31. she was doing same on NPR this morning again too...

....

[markus]

33. I didn't bother emailing ABC; I went for the NPR ombudsman

She was spinning such obvious GOP lies, I asked them to take her off the air or label her for what she is: A Republican Commentator.

[liberal N proud]

34. Done

Media Whore!
