Dobbs is set to REAM the junta, re: Dubai

[Gabi Hayes]

pugs are caving, then a session on that Coast Guard story, including interviews

talking about the cuts in Coast Guard budget, and how they're trying to protect us, in spite of said cuts

this is good already

EDIT: he deserves LOTS of reinforcing email, cause you KNOW the swiftboating he's about to receive

maybe he'll start wising up to just HOW vile and corrupt these fascists are, and how they'll stop at NOTHING

batten down your hatches, Lou; we're with you all the way!

[Roxy66]

1. Why is Susan Collins a Republican?

I actually agree with very much of what she stands for.

[MADem]

4. She is a Northeast Republican

They are like moderate Democrats in many respects.

[NewJeffCT]

30. our Republican governor

in Connecticut proposed state funding of embryonic stem cell research, announced she would sign the civil unions bill before it was passed and proposed public financing of all statewide elections.

[Roxy66]

49. I love that lady....we need to recruit her!! She's got courage!!

[in_cog_ni_to]

2. RUH ROH!!! Ed Henry has a copy of the Coast Guard report!

Dobbs' head is going to EXPLODE over this one!

[Gabi Hayes]

[Skittles]

19. thanks Gabi

as a night worker I appreciate those of you who keep me up to speed! :hi:

[Gabi Hayes]

23. any time...this is one of the very best instances of real journalism

being practiced

got to find out when this repeats.....tapeworthy

[Skidmore]

5. Dobbs has spoken much common sense over the past year

about outsourcing, national security, immigration, and the budget. We need a voice like that now, because both parties are selling out the worker. They've been too busy trying to put lipstick on pigs, like free trade, illegal immigration, and debt.

[Gabi Hayes]

7. now, if he can just lose that incompetent, lying halfwit...

"Gen." David Grange

[neoblues]

10. Dobbs for President!

Actually, he'd probably make a great president.

[go west young man]

52. Easy my friend! Dobbs was one of the biggest flagwavers

going into Iraq. His show blew the trumpets to invade quite loudly. Now I think he is probably regretting that stance he took and trying to make amends for being so pathetic.

[neoblues]

81. Alas... another flawed one.

Still, his understanding of one of the major problems of our time--the growth in corporate power which is subsuming our government and by extension our rights, as well as recognizing the outsourcing as the real problem it is (despite any fancy arguments to the contrary), are certainly respectable--and something that's both dearly needed and generally (and inexplicably) absent from most leading Democrats on the national stage.

Too bad he's got a Republican streak when it comes to war; though in a more perfect world, bringing a Constitution and the Rule of Law and a Democratically elected Republic as the form of government to people in the middle east is a great idea--it's just one that pretty much won't work and can't be forced upon them; not to mention the fact that we simply had no legal right to invade their nation (even had they desperately wanted us to). Oh well.

[leftchick]

6. woohoo!

:popcorn:

[in_cog_ni_to]

8. FRIST won't tell anyone in Congress what he's learned behind

closed doors in these briefings! RAT BASTARDS!

[Gabi Hayes]

13. TRUST us!

and what about Snow's role....did Dobbs just accuse him of lying about his lack of knowledge of the deal?

and when are they going to start talking about the millions and millions and MILLIONS of bucks Snow himself stands to gain from the sale?

[salin]

80. ya, the public really doesn't *need* to know what Rove

threatened him with in order to change his "tune." Poor rock and the hardplace fristycat... wants to run for pres - has to keep choosing between doing what would be good for such a campaign (distance from this increasingly unpopular WH) and keeping in line lest he get "the treatment" (swifties vs fristycat) at the hand of this WH

[Coexist]

9. "it turns out - there WERE reservations"

he relished saying that.

[lovuian]

33. BINGO!!!

and I bet a bunch of reservations!!! this is going to make the Plamegate traitor exposing even more traitor proof!!!

[cal04]

11. Damn I would search every word this administration and these

blanks in congress have said about the war on terror and 911 and throw it right back at them
word for word so when they call the dems liars they can show them word for word what they have scared the american people with for five years

[Coexist]

12. "first close the deal, then look into it"

"that's a kabuki"

Wow - they are pounding them.

[Coexist]

14. Here he goes...

DHS and Coast Guard DID raise objections, which SHOULD have triggered the 45-day review.

Amazing.

[in_cog_ni_to]

15. An International Trade expert said they need a more thorough

investigation. "This is just a Kabuki (?sp) dance."

IT SOUNDS LIKE THE ADMINISTRATION HAS ALREADY MADE UP IT'S MIND!!!! They are waiting for the 45 day review to end and they will do whatever the FUCK they want to do!

[0007]

57. Carl Levin said he thinks it is a done deal. Argh!!

[Gabi Hayes]

69. as of March 3....senate can act by then, but he thinks it won't

[Gabi Hayes]

16. hammering them about the "no objections" claim, which automatically

triggers the 45 day review

they keep repeating the phrase "kabuki dance"

[spanone]

17. COME ON LOU, CALL THEM FUCKING LIARS. LIARS. USE THE WORD

[Gabi Hayes]

20. Dana Bash attributes it to the CW "2nd term fatigue"

how about incompetent HUbris, you anorexohag?

[Roxy66]

22. she has to play the "Fair and balanced" card...or she'll be booted

[Gabi Hayes]

26. fuck her and her 'access'. real journalists, ala IF Stone, NEVER

set foot near the WH

bet she thinks IF Stone is a fancy boutique at Tysons Corner

[napi21]

27. Lou's too classy of a gentleman to say that, but he gets his message

across quite well! Anyone watching him knows exactly what explitives he's thinkig!

[Armstead]

43. He just did

Said the proponets of this deal are "not misrepresenting but lying."

[Jeanette in FL]

46. He did

He said while talking to the Port company and Port Lawyer saying" I don't call it misspoken, I call it Lying". It is about time someone used this word with this administration. Yeah.

[Gabi Hayes]

48. couldn't agree MORE....why are they so eskeered of using that word

in connection with this group? it's all they EVER do

they sure had no problems using it during the Clinton inquisition

[napi21]

59. Yes he did! I'm proud of his reporting recently, and especially

today!

[Roxy66]

18. Hitting the ball out of the park!!!

[Disturbed]

32. Lou Dobbs is an Independent or maybe a ..

Paleo Conservative. He is correct about his views regarding Outsourcing, Insourcing, Immmigration, The National Debt, Trade Defecit and "Free Trade".

[in_cog_ni_to]

37. BUT...was a HUGE cheerleader for the idiot's war.

He was HORRID! One of the WORST. That's when I stopped watching him. I couldn't stand his ass kissin'.

[Gabi Hayes]

38. that's why I mentioned Grange. he some very bad blind spots, but

I'll bet NO M$M "journalist" will come close to what he's doing on this so far

I wonder if he'll do a frist, though

I don't think so, at this point

[go west young man]

56. He was a huge cheerleader. In the run up to the war I wrote him

an email saying that tens of thousands of innocent people will die and he or someone at his organization personally responded back saying that I was entitled to my opinion but the world doesn't revolve around just me. Nowadays he's caught on to this administration but he and many others are guilty of aiding in the killing of many innocent Iraqis. He abandoned his responsibility for seeking the truth and being objective then and many people died.

[in_cog_ni_to]

63. This is an exchange he had on the LAST show I watched....

A woman had emailed him about how tired she was of "his cheerleading for the war and would he please talk about something else?" HIS REPLY to her, ON THE AIR, was..."If you don't like it, too bad. Switch the channel. This program and this host supports our president and our soldiers. If you don't like it, I suggest you watch another program." (paraphrased, but close) He was SUCH AN ASS! That was the last time I ever watched his show.:grr:

[Gabi Hayes]

65. how long ago was that?

and the fact that he told you/other person that the world doesn't revolve around you/them shows that HE thinks it revolves around HIM, doesn't it?

quite the narcissist. just like the chimp

I still love him...for now

[in_cog_ni_to]

79. That was during the disgusting "Shock and Awe" ....right after

the illegal invasion. He really was disgusting, but if he's against the idiot right now...It's all GOOD! I'll take anything from the media I can get at this point.

[SeveneightyWhoa]

66. Nope, not independent.

He's been a long-time registered Republican.

[in_cog_ni_to]

21. The WH is going to finish the deal come hell or high water.

CONGRESS is moot. They mean NOTHING anymore. He bypassed them AGAIN! Now, after this 45 day review is finished, the deal will go through.

[Rainscents]

24. Lou is doing great job!

[eleny]

25. Next: "Shut Up Lou Dobbs"

That should be an interesting segment!

[Gabi Hayes]

28. Exactly....think Dobbs' gigantic ego is playing a prime role in this,

or what?

good for him, though

you never know what motivates these creatures

he's playing the role of patriotic journalist to the hilt for now

more power to him

[Gabi Hayes]

36. see? but who cares, for now

The Ticker: Lou Dobbs' Ego Is Bigger Than His Ratings Are, & Other Items
> SF Chronicle: "It doesn't speak well for the TV news business that at noon California time, CNN made a top story that Utah's Mark Hacking had been charged with the murder of his missing pregnant wife, Lori -- in the middle of the Iraq war and a contentious political race to win the White House."

> Does anyone else find this CNN advertisement awfully arrogant? "Lou's opinion. Lou's quick-vote. Lou's quiz. Lou's world." Is that sort of ego-stroking in Dobbs' contract, or what?

http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2004/08/03/EDG0580CIN1.DTL

[Rainscents]

31. I haven't tune into CNN due to bias reporting...

About time he is doing his job!

[SeveneightyWhoa]

68. Lol, I think Lou Dobbs is one of the most "biased"..

..people on CNN. That's his job, that's his role, though. He doesn't try to "hide" his bias.

But he's on the right side--the side of regular working Americans, rather than cozying up to a certain party/administration or corporate line, like many big-name journalists do.

[lovuian]

29. Unfreakingbelievable!!!

and Bush and Republicans are thinking they are going to get away with it!!!
:argh:

[in_cog_ni_to]

35. Oh ya...they think they can do anything they want to do because

that's what's been happening for the last 5+ years. IMCPO...this rests at the feet of the corporate owned MSM too! Had they been doing their freakin' jobs for all those years, these FASCISTS wouldn't be doing this!
They think they can do anything they want because they've had free reign ever since he stole the 2000 election. I might add...LOU DOBBS was a HUGE cheerleader for the idiot's war. He was one of the WORST! He's complicit too. He and evey other journalist who buried their freakin' heads in the sands while these fascists destroyed our country IN PLAIN SIGHT.

[napi21]

47. They're sure going to try! The last comments on Dobbs show tells

me they will too! Didn't you hear "the deal is set to close on March 3rd, and this 45 days is happening AFTER THAT!"

I don't think I misunderstood that!

[Gabi Hayes]

51. I heard that, too

they're talking about it now....45 day period is just going to be PR

[in_cog_ni_to]

61. What???!!!! I missed that! The deal's going through and the investigation

THEN goes forward? WTF? This is UNFREAKINBELIEVABLE!

[AntiFascist]

34. He barely touched on the 9/11 commission being consulted...

and the chairman has already come out strongly against the deal!

[Gabi Hayes]

39. two conflicting views, by port operator spokespeople on now

one of them represents a company who's SUING to stop the deal

anybody know about them?

[Gabi Hayes]

40. Dobbs is, uh, REAMING the Portsecure, guy, and actually used the

''L''

word, when the creep said there's disinformation on both sides

he's not letting this guy getting away with ANYthing

he just asked him to be HONEST about this!

[hopeisaplace]

42. He's fuming mad (Lou is) 'bout time press shows up

very good reporting by Lou, wow.

[in_cog_ni_to]

41. OMG...this Ken guy...Bush ass kisser is making 100+ excuses for this

screwed up deal. He's pathetic! Dobbs hit him HARD!

[Gabi Hayes]

45. the REALITY is that this deal goes through on March 3!

is this true?

Portecure guy throwing out a bunch of red herrings about WMDs

trying to 911-ize the discussion

Lou let him off...time was up

his last spewage was nauseating; more fear mongering: the junta's ONLY resort, the ONLY thing they've had going for them since 911

[in_cog_ni_to]

44. Dubai will be in charge of 22 TERMINALS! This is

not going well for the idiot-in-chief. :7

[napi21]

50. WOW! Listen to Susan Collins!!!!

After the confidential briefing, she's more convinced than before that this deal is flawed!

[Gabi Hayes]

54. Carl Levin on now

says he admires Collins: "she's staking out a position of independence" from the administration on this

"if they close the deal, the way they say they're doing," that completely changes things

this sounds like a CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS in the making

Dobbs just called the 45 day period a FARCE, if what seem to be happening (March 3 closing), DOES happen

Dobbs is amazed that he has to bring up this question four years after 911, basically saying that we're submerging national security interests to COMMERCIAL interests

[in_cog_ni_to]

58. CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS......Will they IMPEACH HIS ASS

NOW???? How much are they willing to take? He IGNORED Congress to ILLEGALLY spy on US citizens and NOW they bypass Congress to make this TOTALLY screwed up and DANGEROUS deal? How much more? What will it take to IMPEACH him?

[Gabi Hayes]

62. how many times can we have said this? if the M$M had done one

braZILianth the job they did on Clinton/Gore/Kerry, his ass would be in the Hague right now

don't hold breath

where in Illinois are you, btw?

[in_cog_ni_to]

64. Bourbonnais. Just South of Chicago. Where are you?

:hi:

[Gabi Hayes]

67. Arlington Heights, formerly Homewood

used to drive from there to UofI for several years

used to have a blonde cocker for 16 years...sigh

[in_cog_ni_to]

78. I'm in Homewood every Wednesday night taking a class.

That's where our synagogue is. My son has his Hebrew class (preparing for his Bar Mitzvah) and then I have a 2 hour class.

Awwww...Cockers are so CUTE and SWEEEET! Our neighbor has a blond Cocker, Chauncey. He's just the sweetest thing in the world. 16 years old is a long life for a puppy dog. *sigh* I had a collie who lived to be 14 and it broke my heart in half when she died.:cry: I loved that dog more than anything. She was the best little (BIG) girl. She was a 65 pound LAP DOG. :) She was so friendly and very PROTECTIVE over me. I won't tell you what she use to do to strange men who came to the house. It was VERY SPECIAL! :7 Now I have my little Isabelle....she's such a sweetheart.:loveya: Dogs are so wonderful.

[napi21]

55. DAMN, this entire program should be reaired!!!!!

In ALL time zones, and several times during the day!

[Gabi Hayes]

60. It's on again at 4AM EST

definitely worth taping

I hope it's a bit of history in the making

[MoonRiver]

70. What time does Lou replay? I missed the show.

:argh:

[Gabi Hayes]

71. are you serious? it's a scavenger hunt

[napi21]

75. 4AM here EST. n/t

[Gabi Hayes]

72. positive reinforcement for Dobbs' ego:

http://www.cnn.com/feedback/cnntv/

[Gabi Hayes]

73. Dobbs is on with Zahn. I missed most of it, but he was FLAMING hot

as he ended, Zahn said: "tell us how you really feel!"

[napi21]

74. Well, Paula reruns at 2AM and Dobbs at 4AM. I think I'll tape them!

I want to watch Lou again. He gave me a little hope tonight! I never watch Pauls, but I'll watch Lou on her show too!

[Gabi Hayes]

76. same here; she was condescending to Dobbs, with her trademark sneer.

I only saw a few seconds

it'll be worth it to see Dobbs on somebody else's show. he was very manly, assertive

[napi21]

77. He was a guest on Wolfe's show last Friday I think.

He was debating some Pub about the port deal. Seems like CNN realizes he has quite a following on this issue at least, and is putting him on these other shows!
