David Gergen pulverized Terry Jeffery on CNN
Did anyone see this on Wolf Blitzer. Terry Jeffery, a ultra-conservative commentator, attempted to push his political agenda on the program that was commentating on the appearance of President Obama and President H. W. Bush to bolster community effort by the Points of Light volunteer programs. The program was slanted toward the hopefulness of bipartisan cooperation.

Jeffery attempted to discredit programs sponsored by the government that provide jobs and pay to those working in the programs. David Gergen countered with then did he object to paying the military and when this jerk persisted, David countered with the Job Corps under FDR shutting up this piece of crap. You could tell that Gergen was mad as hell and the weasel couldn't respond. The other weasel, Wolf Blitzer, nothing more than a Republican mole, meekly kept him mouth shut and tried to change the subject. David Gergen seems to be more and more annoyed by the dissemination of hatred and division by the right wing propagandists.

1. I didn't see it but I am not surprised
Gergan is an honorable commentator and a decent man. He is an honest centrist who is willing to entertain the validity of view points to both his right and his left. I have long respected him without always agreeing with him.

2. Agree
him, I listen to and sometimes seek out during the big stories.
He has intelligence and a knowledge of history that he puts to use in his statements.

13. Also agree.
He is not a knee-jerk repuke tool.

I have respect for his opinion and sometimes find myself in agreement.

3. I did see it and that's as animated as I think I've ever seen Gergen
He is a very mild tempered person but he sort of let that guy have it, he deserved it too.

12. Thus far the video isn't coming up at CNN.
Which is not to say it won't be up later. So I'm putting the link in just in case.

14. I can't find the link. Wish that I could.
Maybe because CNN doesn't want to embarrass the munchkin Blitzer and their "conservative guest" commentator.

15. I just checked for transcripts.
Edited on Sun Oct-18-09 08:24 AM by CBHagman
My guess is that the transcript hasn't been posted.

As for the video, maybe someone will take mercy and put it up on YouTube. That's my next stop.

On edit: A search of Gergen and Jeffrey at YouTube didn't turn up a thing, but here's the link to Wolf Blitzer's The Situation Room transcripts, which get updated frequently.
