[rodeodance]

[npincus]

1. thank yew

[rodeodance]

2. Dana says she was told that 'appropriate" members have been fully briefed but

then a reporter asked if these were the same Senators who are now complaining that they knew nothing of this-she clarifies and said "intell committee" members

[rodeodance]

3. i watched yesterday also-She is getting same questions the answers are the same

[OzarkDem]

35. Just a reminder

Its established fact that, prior to the 06 elections, the WH (including Cheney) ALWAYS gave separate briefings to GOP and Dems. This rule applied across the board. Dems in Congress never got the whole story from the WH, particularly where Iraq and Afghanistan were involved.

I recall this policy went unnoticed by the news media.

[MrScorpio]

4. Hopefully, some one is recording this for YouTube

It just screams of, "BUT, WE HAVE PLAUSIBLE DENIABILTY! Our techniques aren't torture (even if we are)."

[rodeodance]

dana": people forget the threats we are under"-boy she has the talking points!

[rodeodance]

5. dana": people forget the threats we are under"-boy she has the talking points!

[rodeodance]

9. Twice press says Jay Rockefeller knows NOTHING about this and she just says the Intel

committee has been briefed!!

[ChairmanAgnostic]

15. they were briefed. The White House sent them

both jockeys and those cute white cotton tighties.

[rodeodance]

26. ha ha

[maddezmom]

6. thanks for the heads up

[WinkyDink]

7. OMG, this dame NEEDS TO BE NOT-TORTURED, by BUSH'S definition.

[npincus]

8. she sounds like she's going to cry!

[WinkyDink]

10. No, that's her quavering OUTRAGED voice, not her "about to cry" voice. She is a True Believer.

[rodeodance]

28. it is the Hannity type outrage. she tries hard to outdo him.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

13. why don't you believe me? why? why are you so mean, you meanie?

what does cutting off the head of a captured person ahve to do with our behavior, you little C***?

[npincus]

16. LOL- you "meanie"?

:rofl:

[MrScorpio]

11. Frankly, I don't think she won't last long in this job

Once her belief bubble is broken and she finally figures out what her boss to up to, I think that she'll have a "Crisis of Faith."

[rodeodance]

14. she basically said she is upset that press would disagree with Bush!! ha ha

[rodeodance]

12. ha ha-Helen Thomas is getting to her-basically says people do not believe

[bdamomma]

30. oh good, Helen will chew her up and spit Dana out.

I watch Helen sitting in the front row, I bet she wishes to say to Dana you are spewing nothing but lies.

[Beelzebud]

17. The Stepford Press Secretary

[MrScorpio]

19. What planet is this woman living on?

I think that that is a legitimate question

Where do they find these people?

[rodeodance]

24. not mine!

[rodeodance]

20. even their computer brains had more intelligence than this Peroxide chick!

[Beelzebud]

21. LOL

[rodeodance]

18. Now dissing Move on.org again. very condensending!

[lpbk2713]

22. I've noticed something consistent about Perino ....

whenever someone asks a question that hits a particular nerve her kneejerk reaction is "THAT"S ABSURD!" as she just did. To attack the individual asking the question rather than addressing the question is something I would expect from someone in a position much less prominent than White House Press Secty. But ... taking into consideration who she works for, I guess she's the right fit for that particular job.

[rodeodance]

the WH is running thin-she was at the bottom of the barrel

[rodeodance]

27. the WH is running thin-she was at the bottom of the barrel

[WinkyDink]

23. I hate her reedy-thin, rapid-fire, brittle voice. SOP for Republican bee-yotches, it seems.

[npincus]

25. Steph Miller calls her a "Lying Sack of Cute" and a

"Tiny Dancer of Deception". :rofl:

[earthboundmisfit]

29. I wish she'd quit saying "I think" so much -

it's very obvious that she DOESN'T think much!

[WinkyDink]

31. CBS: "Can you DEFINE 'torture'"? Perrino: "That would reveal our techniques." OMG---SHE ADMITTED WE

USE TORTURE!!

Unwittingly, true, but admitted, nonetheless!

[MrScorpio]

32. I'm one of the "American People" and this is what I think...

Of course we're torturing people, no matter what you call it.

That's why your boss is keeping all the techniques secret, even from the people in Congress who have every right to know what he is doing.

[blogslut]

33. The press has torture on the brain

good

[flordehinojos]

34. Q: where is the line between harsh but legal interrogation and torture.

A: U.S.A. has a policy which does not allow torture. We follow the laws and policies of the U.S.A. and meet our obligations. so said Dana Perrino. However, in the words of Chris Matthews, I say to Perrino: HA!
