No wonder Daschle is out of work.

[tinfoilinfor2005]

On Meet the Press, instead of boldly interrupting these liars, he just sits there and shakes his head while they run all over the top of him.

1. Daschle is like that pitcher you want to root for but who somehow

never developed that sizzling roundhouse curve he needs to fan sluggers.

Hell of a nice guy but too-often ineffectual senator.

[tinfoilinfor2005]

2. Well, he's finally speaking up now.

He's just a little bit too polite. Drives me crazy; I'm sitting here screaming at the tv. :)

[saltpoint]

13. I would still prefer Daschle to Thune but not Daschle to Kucinich or

Harkin or Kennedy or Dodd or Edwards or Boxer or Cuomo or a host of other Democrats past and present.

You nailed it with his being too polite.

[guruoo]

3. I like Daschle, but he's become an anacronism

Good man, but the world changed, and left him behind.

[saltpoint]

11. Yep. It's a Rovian world. He needs that roundhouse curve. / nt

4. what's he saying?

[tinfoilinfor2005]

6. They are talking about wiretapping and FISA

and Roberts keep saying that FISA doesn't work because of the back logs. Also says that president has constitutional authority over all and any laws (WHAT??? wasn't that their big scream against Clinton?) Daschle replied that they can go to FISA after the fact, but Roberts keeps denying that.

[Cocoa]

12. Roberts denies they can go to FISA after the fact?

what a fucking liar.

btw, I hope someone asks Roberts about "Phase 2". :mad:

[tinfoilinfor2005]

16. They are conveniently and intentionally ignoring this fact

to protect their little precious-precious king georgy from going to prison.

[peekaloo]

9. He's pussyfooting around the wiretap issue. He can't really talk about

the briefings yet he and Jane Harman are offering appeasements, after the fact, for changing the law. Not really addressing FOLLOWING THE EXISTING LAW.

If I've misheard someone please correct me but this is a most frustrating segment.

[spanone]

5. I wish the democrats had someone who would KICK THEIR ASSES.

But they've probably ALL BEEN WIRETAPPED BY NOW and shaking in their shoes.

10. Feingold..but timmy won't bring him on!! don't ya know he only

brings on mealy mouse dems!

7. Makes Casper Milquetoast look like a Marine.

Yes, I know about the anthrax. He's still completely weak, and thus, totally misreads Americans.

[leftchick]

8. he should just stay in a bunker somewhere.

:mad:

14. Tom didn't speak up against the program back when, right? Now

he hasn't a leg to stand on.

[Cocoa]

15. Daschle is out of work because he opposed Bush too strongly

he would have had a much easier time in SD if he were a Ben Nelson type.

edit to say the better thing to do is to oppose Bush and lose if necessary.

[tinfoilinfor2005]

17. Roberts: Can I say something?

Why not? He hasn't shut up through the whole show, and timmy has made no attempt to shut him up and allow the others to talk.

[Cocoa]

18. Roberts kept interrupting Carl Levin at a hearing last week

it was ridiculous and childish, and Levin looked like he had to restrain the impulse to get up and go over to Roberts and smack him.

19. Whew! He and Harman are too damned polite. They just let

Roberts lie and spin and sit politely and smile. :puke:
