So next week I get to ask Nora ODonnell a question in a public forum...

[Can o Beans]

What should it be?

[texasleo]

1. "How much for oral?"

[lapfog_1]

7. "In addition, are you GFE?" - n/t

[Oreo]

2. How much does the RNC pay you...

to be such a shill?

[gratuitous]

8. Actually, a little re-working of the question, and . . .

Ms. O'Donnell, with the exposure of the sad facts surrounding the work of so-called independent journalists such as Armstrong Williams and Maggie Gallagher actually being on the administration's payroll, will you state categorically that you are not similarly receiving payments from the United States government?

11. Oooh I like that one

Ask that one.

[Kerrytravelers]

3. How is it that you get a paycheck for not doing your job?

If I didn't do my job, I'd get fired. Can you explain that to me?





Edited to add: I've actually asked reporters that before. I'm in LA, so we have a ton of media floating around all over the place. I live in an area that they often use for fluff piece backdrops. It isn't too hard to walk right up to a reporter. They usually think you're there to compliment them. When I, in all seriousness and without being emotional, simply ask them when they are going to start doing their job and reporting. I tell them I spend many hours reading the foreign press to find out what is going on in the world and it would be much appreciated to me and to our democracy and really, to the globe in general if they were to start reporting and analyzing news again. I thank them and tell them I'll be checking to see when they decide to do their job again.

The reporters are always in shock because they weren't expecting it. People with me get a kick out of it because I am so calm and soft spoken when I say it. One day, I was just so sick of it all, I couldn't help myself. Now, it's expected that I will say something. It's my only form of social rebellion.

4. Why are you so hateful to democrats and so loving to republicans

Did they teach you that in journalism school?

[FSogol]

5. Do you receive your orders from Grover Norquist or Karl Rove? n/t

[MADem]

6. Why can't you be more like Brian Williams? As Frank Luntz said about him,

his ideological bias is BARELY DETECTABLE, while yours is painfully obvious. Oh, and a follow-up: Have you been working on your resume, as your time as a BushCo cheerleader appears to be drawing to a close?

[Oreo]

10. Brian Williams?

Isn't he the same guy that made a political event out of the Opening Ceremonies of the Winter Olympics?
He totally ruined it for me making comments about what war each country was fighting.

[MADem]

13. Frank called him "the GOP go-to guy" though he's not been so nice to them

more recently. He hosts the NBC nightly news.

9. This is a question she asked a couple of weeks ago...

On the October 18 edition of MSNBC News Live, MSNBC chief Washington correspondent Norah O'Donnell asked Rep. Loretta Sanchez (D-CA) to go "on the record" with a "promise" that Democrats "will not issue tens or hundreds of subpoenas to the White House when it comes to Katrina, Iraq, and a number of issues" that would "make the president's final two years in office a living hell."

So ask her if she would go "on the record" with a "promise" that she will not become a bigger whore than she already is when the Dems take back congress?

[MadHound]

12. How much does the Bush administration pay you

To felliate them each and every single day of the week?
