Wolfie Looked Like He Was About To Blow His Stack
Interviewing Howard Dean

Asking Dean about Dems accepting money from Abramoff.

Dean told him in no uncertain terms that "no Dems accepted any money from Abramoff"

but but but but said Wolfie, what about Byron Dorgan?

Dean's response: He took money from Indian tribes but there is NO EVIDENCE it was directed by Abramoff, etc.

I hope Howie is right about this. He seemed very sure of himself.

2. Howie is 100% correct; NO DEMS took so much as a penny
from Abramoff...and Abramoff says so himself.

9. We have to shout that message from the rooftops
The MSM is working overtime to try to convince our fellow citizens that Abramoff was an "equal opportunity donor." Sadly, it's probably even getting traction in the "milquetoast-and-mealy-mouth" wing of the Democratic Party.

Now that he's slimed John Murtha, I fully expect to read in the coming week that Ed Schultz has excoriated Democrats for "taking money from Abramoff." :puke:

3. That smackdown was a joy to watch and hear.
Blitzer sure had his ass handed to him. It made my day.

5. Dean was great.
He never allowed Wolfie to get control of the conversation. He is a great spokesperson for us.

However, I didn't understand his reference to left-wing governments in South America. I thought this was a good thing but he seemed to indicate otherwise. Any one have any thoughts on this?

7. I thought so too that left wing is good for us.
but what Dean may be referring to is the hatred that the South Americans now have for the USA and now are realizing how the US Economic Hit Man has hurt them for the past decades.


I loved Dean's control over Wolfie. Wolfie just didn't know what hit him. Happy Days are here again.

6. Yea! I heard that big sigh near the end of the interview when
he asked Howard "What about Abramoff's associates giving $$ to Dems?"

Wolff let out a big sigh (obviously because he didn't like Howard's answer) when he had to say "We're out of time!"

Howard did a VERY GOOD JOB this morning! Nobody can say he put his foot in his mouth and all the complaints you usually hear!

Give 'em hell Howard! You're doing a GREAT JOB!!!

11. Wolfie had also just run out of time, good strategy on Dean's part.
Dean ran down the clock and got his biggest kick in at the end. It's something the Republicans have been doing for years.

Wolfie's sigh and the evil little grin on Dean's face at the end were priceless.

16. The SIGH was hilarious!
Wolf is getting fatigued from carrying the GOP's water for all of these years!

10. Never let them frame the conversation on their terms.
Hand Howard some meat and he will chew your arm off. Way to go Howard!

12. Damn right he is correct.
The smear against the Tribes that they are dirty with Abramoff rather than his victims needs to be crushed absolutely.

13. He was right. The tribes gave the money.
Abramoff's victims gave the money to Democrats they thought might be able to represent them in Congress. Campaign contributions. Abramoff did not give the tribes money; he STOLE from them.

15. That's the last time Howard will be ALLOWED on the RW propaganda
network for a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time.

He IS right! The MSM knows he's right too. They are trying as hard as they can to push "the Dems did it too" angle...and it AIN'T gonna work.

18. Dean said that he checked the FEC files and could state with
certainty that it is true.
