Ron Suskind on MSNBC in this hour.....just announced

[buycitgo]

Lester just said that Suskind will be on later

no details, but they've been taking emails on the ONeill/Bush
contretemps

here it is

question@msnbc

please send something in

they already showed a great one, in answer to their question of the day: did ONeill betray president B*?

email: did Bush betray the US? or something like that

can't wait

[proud patriot]

1. I already sent my letter in

any word on when ?

[buycitgo]

2. they just teased it again.....I'll bet it's late in the hour

got to find a blank tape

what did you say in your email?

I asked for suggestions in another thread.....no response

it would be GREAT to get some concise, biting statements/questions for MSNBC

collective consciousness and all that

3. Ry response..

Some may call whistleblowers "betrayers", but I call them Patriots.

6. on now n/t

[proud patriot]

7. okay watching now

:hi:

[rumguy]

9. keep us updated, what is said?

[buycitgo]

10. "what we now know is that President Bush is extremely disengaged..........

in almost all meetings, not just cabinet.

he never asked why....just sat there.

[xray s]

8. Man...Bush reminds me of Chauncy in "Being There"

vacancy

[buycitgo]

15. somebody mentioned that yesterday......he's too transparent to

be Chauncey Gardner....too obvious that there's no there there.


although the willingness of his underlings to hang on his every pearl is even more disconcerting.

I'll bet that, outside of the top few, like Rove, Card, Cheney, everyone else takes it with a smile. the above three don't take it, though, as they're the ones pulling the strings

BTW

shows already over

I caught two minutes, starting with:

ONeill asked for what was his due (regarding documents, I think), and they gave him what he asked for

anyone else catch what they said before that?

it looks like the interview w/Suskind was prerecorded, maybe for the Today Show, as someone mentioned.

11. wow....tough talk from Suskind

Does not paint a pretty picture of the way the White House works.

[soup]

12. not much there.

Repeated some of what was on 60 Minutes last night, but that's about it.

somebody correct me please, if I missed something.

[economic justice]

14. Focused on WMD

As a member of the NSC, O'Neill got every memo, etc. relating to Iraq. NOTHING he ever saw was "evidence" that Iraq possesed Weapons of Mass Destruction. There was a little more of that....It was basically a quick hit thing though.

13. Suskind is a superb communicator

Notice how he hits home a couple points and hits them hard. He's prepared--and talented.

Thanks for posting this, buycitgo--I would have missed it if I hadn't been doing my late afternoon scan of the headlines.

16. more than welcome, but

set your VCR for the Today Show

I'll bet this snip was from whatever interview he scheduled with them

will transcribe what I have, but hope that someone can fill in the first part

[rumguy]

17. O'Neill going to be on the today show?

When?

[buycitgo]

19. supposedly tomorrow......someone here posted it

[CatWoman]

18. Susskind won the Pulitzer in 1995 n/t

[buycitgo]

20. MSNBC is going after ONeill now

talking about the "secret" document from 60 Minutes

showing the quote of * from Mexico

I sure hope CSPAN runs this press conference, as his response to this was one long, rambling example of his typical incoherence
