Dan Abrams doing a great job interviewing whore Barbara Comstock MSNBC now

[linazelle]

He just finished interviewing Wesley Clark.

[linazelle]

1. "No one is able to say this guy is a bad guy" Abrams on Clarke

[librechik]

2. frankly it's more important to me if it's true

than if it's a cheap shot."

Calls her on never answering the question! and just deflecting, deflecting--

Absolutely, she won't say it's a lie -- "it's revisionist history"

ha ha

[linazelle]

3. "If anything he is saying is true about this adminstration's obession abou

t Iraq, it's scary." (Abrams)

[librechik]

4. Wow, Dan is just destroying her BS!

GO DAN!

[librechik]

11. "It's very VERY important that we discuss this!"

(whether Iraq was a target early on)

while Comstock gives him the old "Oh, it's time to move on" jive.

Wow--try and catch the repeat, everybody, Dan is becoming a real journalist!

[lolly]

17. Yes, move on

All 570+ of you widows, widowers, mothers, fathers . . what's the matter? Your husband/wife/child is gone now, no sense crying over a silly mistake, it's all in the past . . .

[Jane Austin]

18. Doyou know when it repeats?

n't

[TacticalPeek]

19. Right, this repeat is worth it, fer sure.

I think that over the day, as the RW smoke has blown, the journalists are sensing what a flimsy screen it is.

Thank God for Clark. He has kept bringing the interviewers back on track all day.

[goondogger]

5. Wow, go Danny Boy

"If it's true what he said about this administration's obsession with Iraq, it's scary."

[Gato Moteado]

6. wow....she is a total whore

she is total human garbage. what's up with her aspirin factory comment? why do these scumbags always want to start blaming clinton for everything and ignore their own mistakes?

dan abrams kicked her ass.

[linazelle]

7. Wow! He is good! "If you blame Clarke, you are either going to say we

are going to blame people about 9/11, or we aren't."

[stopbush]

8. Holy Shit!!! Abrams is killing the RW shill!

I apologize for calling him a whore re: Wes Clark. But, he's still a whore.

[librechik]

15. Abrams was trying to get Wes to talk about the Clenis in the last seg

so he's as bad as Comstock! Hope he straightens out his act soon, we could use someone like him looking for the truth instead of mouthing Pinocchio's script!

[linazelle]

20. LMAO @ "Clenis" n/t

[fearnobush]

9. "How can you believe every thing in this book is a lie?"

He stuck it to her...good.

[TacticalPeek]

10. Clark was great, as usual.

Nobody does it better, period.

Barbara Comstock is doing very poorly. And just got worse.

This has been a very poor defense job by the R flacks all day.
Dan is doing yeoman's work. I'd forgotten what that's like. Comstock was left in tatters.

:evilgrin:

[tridim]

28. I'm having a blast watching these Pukes implode

Even Faux was fun to watch tonight with Hannity blathering like an idiot, spinning so fast he probably had to puke during the commercial. Meehan and Holt were just on and Meehan destroyed every piece of crap question Hannity asked, it was a thing of beauty.

[kentuck]

12. He set a good example for other journalists to follow....

Their job is to challenge those in authority and in power - not those that are courageous to blow the whistle and tell the truth about what was going on in the White House. Great job Dan!

[Norbert]

13. You could see Abrams shaking his head after the Comsrock interview

Babs was certainly reading from the imperial script. It was comical.

[disenfranchised]

23. He was shaking his head

because she said "Thanks, Dick."

[indie_voter]

14. YES! Great job Abrams.

[fearnobush]

16. Everyone, Tell Dan, he did a great job, even if he is a media *ore

[proud patriot]

22. Good for Dan

:D

[Vickers]

24. Good idea...I did

I told him he made a valiant effort trying to get the lady to answer a question.

I also said don't play into the RW's hands by bringing up Clinton (I almost put Clenis!!!) when discussing terra failures on Georgie's watch.

[fearnobush]

21. Holy Shit, Dan just hinted at the Rummy Saddam connection!!

[nostamj]

25. Comstock?

only B- list repukes willing to shill this shit?

(i think today proves that condi is OUT)

WH: gee, who knew? we really really trusted that lady... oh well! our bad. bad lady gone going looking for bad men BAD men now....

[grasswire]

26. for those who don't know...

...Barbara Comstock was a protege of the Independent Women's Forum, the "speakers bureau" funded by Richard Mellon Scaife prior to the Clinton impeachment years. She was one of the bimbettes deployed to attack the Clintons.

Then she took a job as head of opposition research for the RNC, heading up the dirt digging and the building of dossiers against Dems.

Then she was deployed as spokeswoman for John Ashcroft.

I'm not sure what her position is currently. All these years of slinging mud have sure aged her, though. She used to be kind of perky.

[buycitgo]

29. talk about long in the TOOTH, as in no more gumline?

or uglier than a pan of worms,

horse face, with a voice to match?

reminds me of a creepier version of Babs "human ashtay" Olson

sorry to be petty, but Comstock is one of the very WORST of all the slimeballs

can you say boiler room?

found this:

"Barbara Comstock, the scuzzy spokesperson in charge of bald-faced lies at the Justice Department will be departing for a public relations job at a lobbying firm, Blank Rome Government Relations."

then this:

Apparently National Review doesn't read The Conch. OR Slate. Or they're just willfully peddling lies and propaganda to further their agenda.

Right-wing hack wanna-be "journalist" Barbara Comstock led off her story at National Review Online today with a scathing indictment of Senator Kerry's votes to slash intelligence funding. What a lily-livered commie pinko Massachusetts Mekong River rat liberal!
http://www.nationalreview.com/comment/comstock200403100835.asp


>>>In September 1995, two years after the first World Trade Center attack, Senator Kerry proposed cutting $1.5 billion from the intelligence budget. Kerry included the cuts in a laundry list of government expenditures that Kerry described as "pointless, wasteful, antiquated, or just plain silly." Kerry heralded these cuts as part of "one senator's common sense effort" and claimed the proposed cuts were part of a "bipartisan, common sense direction," which he said was "in our best interest."

>>>>How many other senators followed Kerry's bipartisan "common sense direction" in 1995? Not a one. Not California's Barbara Boxer or Michigan's Carl Levin, who have never seen a defense cut they didn't relish. Not even Kerry's Massachusetts liberal colleague Ted Kennedy. Some leader!


A reader told me yesterday that this "story" appeared on NBC News last night. This is a poor showing for American journalism.


excellent site, this fact checking bush
http://theconch.typepad.com/theconch/2004/03/factchecking_bu.html

check this for analysis of the above story cycle regarding the Kerry defunding intel lie

Kerry's proposal would have not have cut a single intelligence program.
On the same day that Kerry's bill was read on the Senate floor, two of his colleagues—Democrat Bob Kerrey and Republican Arlen Specter—introduced a similar measure. Their bill would have cut the budget of the National Reconnaissance Office, the division of the U.S. intelligence community in charge of spy satellites.

According to that day's Congressional Record, Specter said he was offering an amendment "to address concerns about financial practices and management" at the NRO. Specifically, "the NRO has accumulated more than $1 billion in unspent funds without informing the Pentagon, CIA, or Congress." He called this accumulation "one more example of how intelligence agencies sometimes use their secret status to avoid accountability."

The Kerrey-Specter bill proposed to cut the NRO's budget "to reflect the availability of funds … that have accumulated in the carry-forward accounts" from previous years. Another co-sponsor of the bill, Sen. Richard Bryan, D–Nev., noted that these "carry-forward accounts" amounted to "more than $1.5 billion."

This was the same $1.5 billion that John Kerry was proposing to cut—over a five-year period—in his bill. It had nothing to do with intelligence, terrorism, or anything of substance. It was a motion to rescind money that had been handed out but never spent.


That's a much different story isn't it?

Kos wrote today that the blogosphere has become an instant factchecker, filling in for lazy journalists. And Republicans aren't used to it. Slate's not exactly the blogosphere, but I think this example proves Kos's point.

[Papa]

27. Dan's a smart guy, but his lights upstairs are flickering

He's on and off. One second he's hitting the nail on the head, the next he's so far off base that you have to conclude that he's either an idiot, a liar, or he gets his news exclusively from the Broadcast Media.

He just treated Margaret Cho like dirt.

[frank frankly]

30. kick
