I just saw X-governor Pataki on Contessa bleating about how Obama...

[Walk away]

is not sharing information about the NYC car bomb. "We need the information so we can stop it from happening again!" As if the people who need to know don't have all the available facts.

He is nobody. Why would anybody want to tell him anything? What is wrong with these republican nuts?

[Frustratedlady]

1. Tell me why he needs to know?

Is his term about done, or will he be in office another year or so?

He really wears on me for some reason.

Stupid is as stupid does.

[brooklynite]

2. Um, he's been out of office for four years...

[Frustratedlady]

11. Duh! I was thinking of Pawlenty. Sorry! n/t

[Captain Hilts]

3. He was a nobody even while Gov of NY. The East Coast's Grey Davis. nt

[xxqqqzme]

8. I seriousy doubt that.

Grey Davis signed legislation giving women in California the strongest choice support of any state.

Wonder how pataki would have fared under an all out assault by enron?

[madinmaryland]

9. Pataki would have had "Pot-hole" Al D'Amato take care of things for him.

[Cha]

4. Bleating is an accurate way to describe pataki..

and whining of course..that's what they do.

[WI_DEM]

5. He actually thinks he has a shot at being the GOP nominee in '12

[JBoy]

6. Reminds me of the SNL skit about the Desert Storm press briefing

And one of the reporters kept asking ridiculously detailed questions:

Sir, knowing what you know, where would you say our forces are most vulnerable to attack, and how could the Iraqis best exploit those weaknesses?

I have a two-part question. Are we planning an amphibious invasion of Kuwait, and if so, where exactly will that be?

Is there anything that you can tell us that would lower the morale of our fighting men?

[jenmito]

7. I saw that and tweeted to Contessa:

@contessabrewer How can you let Pataki get away with saying this administration doesn't understand the threat we face?!

@contessabrewer Does Pataki not know Obama's admin. stopped several potential attacks already?

@contessabrewer Pataki is obviously running for president. He's using every Repub. talking point about Obama.

[flpoljunkie]

10. The creepy Pataki has also done an ad to repeal healthcare reform. He's definitely looking at 2012.

[Bitwit1234]

12. I'd also like to know why we as the public need to know everything

All we need to know is who did it, why if possible and who helped him. Information they gathered should be kept secret so prying eyes don't get access to it. Since this guy is a nobody he wants to make himself more important by being fed information from the government.

[grantcart]

13. It was a silly and embarassing partisan tact

As soon as he was finished MSNBC updated the piece with additional breaking news about arrests in Pakistan.

He didn't help himself at all.

[Ikonoklast]

14. He has as much a chance in 2012 of getting the nom as my cat does.

Pataki might as well shut his noise hole, as no one cares about the whining coming out of it except him.

[Jennicut]

15. Is he President? WTF does he need to know then?

Loser.
