4. Can you fill us in on her history?

I saw her on TDS and thought the face was familiar, but couldn't place it?

6. She was the Pentagon spokesperson

see her wikipedia bio linked on the original post.

She left the Pentagon right after the war started.

She has a book out.

5. Last night on the Daily Show........

...the statements she made had no logic to them ! Every statement was spin. Reminds me of a line in the David Lean film, "Lawrence of Arabia": <they've> been lying so long, they've forgotten where they hid the truth.

7. Well, at least Jon called bullshit on her dumb book.

8. She almost had me fooled

"Torie" Clarke, a former PR assistant to Rumsfeld...I remember a Victoria Clarke who became famous for dressing like a clown. And while it's probably just a coincidence, she "left" her post shortly after hosting a town hall meeting which ended with a chant of "Impeach!" And here she is trying to act as though she's still credible, like Newt Gingrich, Gordon Liddy and Oliver North! No wonder Jon booked her--he should have asked, "When you say there's no spin, is THAT spin?" or "Were you spinning then, or are you spinning now?" You're a dead pundit walking, honey!

9. Jon basically destroyed her

He took a huge steamy dump on the premise of her so-called "book." It was priceless.

[tibbiit]

10. I laughed about

Her telling Jon that the rest of the government needed to be as transparent and truth telling as the defense department has been about the war! lol
still chuckling
