Edited on Thu Jan-26-06 09:02 AM by underpants
See qanda's great rough transcript here

Please contact NBC's The Today show with the following.

Dean was right (we knew this) ZERO money from Abramoff to Dems. None. Nada.

1. Shameless kick
Trust me if Katie Couric was told to read this to Howard Dean this morning it is going to be all over the place by this afternoon.

5. She had the nerve to have that information on hand
Like she was waiting for Dean to say something about it. Well, she should have had ALL the facts instead of the ones the RNC wanted her to have.

Thanks for the links, perhaps we should share them with Ms. Couric.

13. Katie - get a clue
I used to like Katie, but she's become just a partisan wench these days. Her whole interview with Dean this morning was biased and she had a very antagonistic attitude. I'd like to see her last interview with the RNC chair to compare. She said both parties had received large sums from "Abramoff or his associates" - pure bunk. I find it hard to believe that she is that stupid and/or uninformed. The Dems received money from Abramoff's clients (the tribes) - and those donations actually decreased after Abramoff began lobbying for them. I am compelled to email her for the first time regarding this (though probably not the last). Thanks for the links, DU!

14. Excellent Underpants, thanks especially for the capitaleye link.
Isn't it amazing that they have the Republican talking all ready to produce to the head of the DNC, but NOTHING from the DNC? Whose fault IS this? Is it the fault of the DNC, or are they ignoring them?

:kick: and recommended
