Blitzer: "It's Gore v. Bush all over again!"

[flpoljunkie]

It's the top story on Blitzer's THE SITUATION ROOM.

[stray cat]

1. Excellent!

Gore should win again

[flpoljunkie]

2. Showing clips of Gore's speech right now!

[Loonman]

3. Christ.....shouldn't Wolfie be in Israel?

Ready to prop up Sharon's corpse for ratings?

[Straight Shooter]

4. Yeah, and let's keep it honest this time, for America's sake.

And the sake of the world.

Other than that, Blitzkrieg, STFU.

[Scout1071]

5. YEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!! Coverage!

God, I really love Al Gore.

Now I will sit back and watch them MSM try to tear down the speech.

[Olney Blue]

6. The WH is angry!!!

[flpoljunkie]

26. Obviously, their ONLY talking point as Bay Buchanan just repeated it.

After mentioning Bob Barr's involvement and concern.

[Gregorian]

7. Yeah, that's IT Blitzer. You're so smart.

Got us!

But the reality is, that was yesterday. Blitzer, I hate to break the news to you, but Gore v. Bush is history. You're living in the past. We're talking about today. Not yesterday. You should know the difference. After all, you are supposedly in the news business.

This sounds more like Gore versus Blitzer.

Why do you hate the Constitution?

[Pithy Cherub]

15. Blitzer/cnn wrong perpetually. Technically it is Bush vs. Gore

since Governor bush was the :cry:baby and went to the courts for injunctive relief first.

[napi21]

8. Dana Bash just said WH is fluffing off the Gore comments but are

paying a lot of attention to similar remarks by Arlan Spector! They aren't happy about the hearings that Arlan is holding in a few weeks.

[rodeodance]

19. Specter got a warning today--NO whitewashing!

[flpoljunkie]

9. Dana Bash with reaction from the Whitehouse...

White House not receptive to Gore's call for an independent investigator, because they do not believe that Bush is breaking the law and that he will continue this program.

"Law is clear" that the President has the authority to do what he did. This from Ken Mehlman's response.

No, Ken, nice try!

The Whitehouse, she points out, is concerned about Spectre's comments yesterday regarding impeachment as one possible response to illegal wiretapping. I would point that Spectre's other mentioned remedy was elections. Amen!

[Olney Blue]

18. Yes, and it is brilliant that Al didn't use the "I" word in his speech

today- CNN said he stopped just short of it, but called for independent counsel.

So, now Spector's mention of impeachment as a remedy yesterday really stands out.

[malaise]

28. Follow the evidence wherever it leads.

"Third, both Houses of Congress should hold comprehensive-and not just superficial-hearings into these serious allegations of criminal behavior on the part of the President. And, they should follow the evidence wherever it leads."

-----------
It leads to the big I

[in_cog_ni_to]

21. IF they continue to insist they didn't break the law,

he WILL BE IMPEACHED. He CLEARLY broke the law!

[janx]

23. Exactly!

;-)

[Olney Blue]

10. Gore's speech is already turning up the heat on the spying issue.

[janx]

11. Gore's speech is turning up the heat on a lot of things.

:toast:

[liveoaktx]

12. What an ass he is.... it's the ISSUE, stupid, not a personal grudge

match between Gore and Bush.

Ass

[flpoljunkie]

13. Schneider: "Democrats heard a voice from the past today."

Gore gave a voice to the concerns of many citizens about possible criminal behavior of the President. Although he did not mention impeachment, Gore recommended the Attorney General appoint a special counsel. Gore also praised the work of Patrick Fitzgerald.

Gore is telling Democrats, "Let's make this our issue" and Gore invited Republicans to come along.

[KoKo]

17. Invited Republicans to come along!!!

:rofl: Actually he made a great point! There are Repugs who might take heed of Gore's words since their Chimp has let them down and driving the country into the old Soviet Union.

Good for Schneider! I know he was joking ...but still.

[napi21]

14. Schneider reports!

Schneider reporting that Gore was speaking for the PARTY today.

Potential candidates are very cautious, but Gore is telling it like it is and asking the DDems to make this OUR theme this year!

[rodeodance]

20. Schneider did a good job.

[rodeodance]

22. cnn just trumped msnbc good (who only gave about 30 sec. at most).

[napi21]

24. For a change!

I was quite surprised!

[rodeodance]

16. cnn actually showed lots of good clips-including the call for INdependent

Coucel.

[globalvillage]

25. Graphic: Hear Gore Roar

I hope they show the part where he said the admin knew who 2 hijackers were.
That should wake some folks up.

[DeepModem Mom]

27. kick

[garybeck]

29. Blitzer can KKKiss my ass

Ever since I watched that Dean interview last week where he implies the Abramoff scandal affects both parties, I have nothing for disdain for him and I can't waste my time watching anything he does. I guarantee, if he addresses this on his show at all, it will just be an attack on Gore.

[deminks]

30. They will talk about anything but spying, because they are all

complicit in the criminal acts.
