8. Wow. Nicely done. I wonder if he realized how lame his counterattacks sounded?

[Mithreal]

19. He was squealing like a Republican

[Zodiak]

23. His counterattacks were exactly what he accused Jane of

What does blackface have to do with the healthcare debate? This is an adhominem attack on Jane...an attempt to invalidate her based on some event in her past.

Since when did the wishes of Barack Obama and Bill Clinton replace arguing about the bill on its merits? That is argument by authority...also a logical fallacy.

And of course, in the process of all of this, he never answered the question he was given at all.

Lastly, he tried to talk over everyone instead of letting them get a word in edgewise.

Clear as a bell...this man couldn't argue his way out of a paper bag. A sophist.

Lanny Davis Now Lobbying In Support Of Honduran Coup
By Zachary Roth - July 14, 2009, 4:46PM
It seems like just yesterday that Lanny Davis was making the rounds of every news outlet that would have him, talking up Hillary Clinton's bid for the White House -- and/or pushing the Reverend Wright story.

Not too long after, the former Clinton White House counsel popped up to do damage control for hawkish Democratic congresswoman Jane Harman over the AIPAC leak story.

And now the hardest working conservative Democrat in show business has a new gig: lobbying against the Honduran leader recently deposed in a military coup.

The Hill reports that Davis has been hired by the Honduran branch of CEAL, the Latin American equivalent of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, to urge US lawmakers to support, rather than oppose, the military removal of President Manuel Zelaya, Honduras's democratically elected president.

Of course, thanks to his close ties to the current Secretary of State -- who met with Zelaya yesterday -- Davis could be particularly well placed for the job. But the Fox News contributor said he had no plans to set up a meeting between Clinton and the current and former Honduran government officials with whom he's working.

Although last month Zelaya was taken from his bed by the military and forcibly removed from the country, Davis portrayed his work for the coup's supporters as all about law and order:


Davis said the business group wants to restore order to Honduras, which has been in upheaval since the country's military ousted Zelaya on June 28 after he tried to alter the constitution.

"This is about the rule of law. That is the only message we have," Davis said, adding that Zelaya "was acting unconstitutionally and illegally" when he pushed for a voter referendum to change presidential term limits. The Central American nation's other branches of government opposed his move, and his decision to ignore them led to his ouster.


Already, Davis has lined up meetings between Senate and House foreign relations committee aides and current and former high-level officials with the Honduran government

For by no means the first time, Davis finds himself lined up with Republicans, who have charged that, since the coup, the Obama administration has offered "one-sided support" to Zelaya, an ally of Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez.

Hey, a guy has to make a living.

18. We need to stop playing nice to the parasites in our party

Love Jane

[Don Draper]

20. Notice how Lanny completely dogged the question

His avoidance of answering the question is an answer. Jane did a fantastic job. I hope we see more of this.

21. For those who don't know who Lanny Davis is:

"In this view, the American people are rabble who cannot trusted, their dreams for America are refuse to be discarded, by those who claim to know better than us what is right, when in truth the only thing they know is what gets them the power they crave, regardless of the cost."

22. Jane is awesome

The corporatistas aren't used to being challenged like this. It's a new day and opposition voices are stronger than they used to be.

The look on Lanny's face was similar to the look on Lieberman's face when Franken knee-capped him, similar to the look on Debbie Wasserman-Schultz' face (sorry if that's not how it's spelled) when Dylan owned her, it's happening a LOT lately, and that's a good thing!

Jane for POTUS? Just a fantasy of mine...

[me b zola]

24. That was worth waiting for

:thumbsup:

[Hardrada]

26. I saw this last night and glad the crud got what he deserved.

Actually less than what he deserves (a dank dungeon) but it's a start!

[pleah]
