Norah's really pinching Bolton's nuts re: "consequences" on "Hardball"

[Human Torch]

I left the room, came back ten minutes later, she's still trying to get him to define "consequences" for Iran refusing to end its nuclear program as "blowing the living shit out of Iran." She really seems to want to get the scoop of Bolton declaring war on her show...

:silly:

She just keeps hammering and hammering and hammering, but Bolton...believe it or not...is playing it cool. Or as cool as he can get.

:patriot:

1. Who is that really, and what did they do with Whora?

They must have taken the Kool-Aid away from her, because she used to be one of the worst Bush Admin. suckups.

2. There's been no shortage of that this week...

...she's been slamming the Bush critics just as hard as she was slamming mustache boy a few minutes ago.

10. You must be watching a different Norah than the one I've seen all week

Looks like the same old suckup to me. I was just wondering whether they worked out the questions together or whether he actually just wrote them and she reads them. He doesn't even pause before he answers them.

Why do Republican new anchors always think that they are actors/actresses?

3. I think you guys may have gotten this wrong.

From what I just saw she was basically laying all the groundwork out for him. Even answering the questions for him. It was pathetic. She was trumpeting for dealing harshly with Iran. Not the other way round. She is and always will be a Republican shill. She is quite a scary, weird, sensationalistic person in my opinion.

4. I hafta admit, "Whora" held his nuts to the fire.

:wow: I wasn't expecting that. She's been using her "scolding" tone with Dems all week. Nice to see her use that tone with bolton. :-)

5. She hasnt been quite

as much as a repug suck-up this week. Thats not saying much, but its better than usual.

6. You mean I shouldn't have muted it? I just automatically mute it

when the WH shills are on for the first 15 minutes (like they were on almost every Hardball this week) - Melman, Dan Bartlett, Bolton, etc.

That is what I get for my defensive posture against WH shills. I sometimes miss when they actually get pounded.

8. She wanted him to say that "consequences" = "Shock 'n' Awe."

She just kept maneuvering. She didn't want to hear about sanctions. She wanted Bolton to say that Bush is ready to shove a bunker buster up Ahmadinejad's ass.

The closest he got was to say that "the president hasn't taken military options off of the table," but all O'Donnell really got from him was the ol' soft shoe.

7. maybe she forgot which side she was supposed to be selling

9. Now she's beating up on this douche Terry Jeffrey

who's ranting about the "lib'rul media" making such a big deal out of Abu Ghraib. One might infer that if somebody like Norah has turned, the Regime has a real problem. The thing with media whores is that they know which side their bread is buttered on, and if they sense Regime is losing power, they will switch their allegiance without hesitation.
