Uninformed Cokie Roberts leaps to Cheney’s defense.»

During the roundtable discussion on ABC’s This Week on Sunday, Katrina vanden Heuvel, editor of The Nation, and ABC’s Cokie Roberts discussed Cheney’s callous dismissiveness of American public opinion on Iraq. As vanden Heuvel was referencing Cheney’s remarks — “Dick Cheney said to ABC’s Martha Raddatz last week, ‘I don’t care what Americans think,’” – Roberts interrupted to say, “That’s not exactly what he said. He said ‘So?’” Watch it: http://thinkprogress.org/2008/04/07/uninformed-cokie-roberts-leaps-to-cheney%e2%80%99s-defense/



Yes, Cheney did say, “So?” But vanden Heuvel was also right. Here’s what Cheney said:

RADDATZ: Two-third of Americans say it’s not worth fighting.

CHENEY: So?

RADDATZ So? You don’t care what the American people think?

CHENEY: No.

1. Cokie Roberts disgusts me and has for years. They could not fire her at NPR fast enough for me.

2. As bad as Cokie is..

.. Tim Russert is worse.

And the Fox news people are far worse.

And then there are the dorky idiots at
CNN.

AFAIC, almost the entire MSN should be
fired!!!!!!!!!

6. I don't see why Russet is so bad

He's tough on everybody that he interviews.

3. It's clear Cokie doesn't like Katrina v.

The look on Cokie's face when KVH was talking was obvious. She appeared very annoyed when KVH would contribute to the conversation. KVH is extremely smart and well-informed, and I think Cokie fears her! :)

This could be fun.

5. yes, and Jon laughed at his audience and said, 'i know you don't mean that'
