4. Yup... I used to think she was attractive...
but then she turned Bush* whore-- the grand inquisitor of all more rational guests who deign to question the motives/actions of the little chimperor. Very very unattractive.

28. She looks damn good, but then again I think Monica Crowley
looks outstanding even while she is saying the most inane things.

31. Whew...for a moment I thought you meant CANDY Crawley!
Yikes! A crush on "Creepy" Crawley is grounds for banishment to Freeper.com!

8. yes...quite a few...for instance,
at one point a long time ago when he was nothing more than a spec on the senate floor, i used to think that bill frist was a handsome man...now he looks uglier than a witch doctor himself.

2. GOD, could she be any more Bush?
She doesn't even PRETEND to be objective! She argues with anyone who questions Lord God Bush's motives. But remember, she is young, well-to-do, and thus has absolutely no idea about any life out from under the wing of the GOP. She only read about Viet Nam in her school books. She's never gone a day without her makeup and silver spoon. That is what America is all about to her. Lie if you must, to help protect your stuff. God bless you, Norah! Just before he kicks your ass straight to hell.

12. there is a saying which goes something like this,
"those who do not know history are condemned to repeat it"...and gosh darned if someone ought not to send ole whora a history of the hitler empire...it might help to illumanite her on what she is supporting in the bush regime.

3. It doesn't come across to me as whoring for boosh.
I get the notion that she's trying to ask all the significant questions, while allowing the responder to read it into his comfort zone. Some of those questions must, necessarily look like, and be, devil's advocacy.

7. well....she just axed the Bushpologist the very leading RWTP question:
don't the dems risk having this backfire on them because they'll seem weak on terra, and we all KNOW how strong the president is on this?

the crete pretty much repeated her question for her

judge for yourself

btw, the question to the pug was pretty much a repeat of the same question, asked as an accusation of Ron Regan, just before she restated it

34. The question that occurs to me is -
What will the casual observer, assuming one would be watching, carry away from the experience?
The bush vacuum would hear what he wants to hear and be totally convinced that evil liberals (whatever the hell that's suuposed to mean) just got their asses handed to them and the folks who are actually in charge of facts and the truth, those selfsame liberals, are quite clear that the idiocy and evil intent of those wingnuts is so sordid it has to shine through the ooze and enlighten the willing.
Perhaaps I'm too understanding, right now, but, since there's more of us than there is of them, it strikes me that the net result has to be to increase our numbers, as well as the current talking heads who are defending the point of view I agree with need the practice time to solidify their own stand, during this, the newsmaking season doldrums.

The big show begins in a couple weeks.

11. Have you ever seen a real reporter?
That was a rhetorical question, and a tad smarmy, but I'm sorry, I'm sick of the number of people willing to give people like O'Donnell a pass just because she slips in a line that sounds as if it might actually be a serious question. I'd be astonished if her salary wasn't subsidized somehow through BushCo, and I don't mean just her tax break.

Real reporters have facts, and when the interview subject lies, the reporter calls them on the lie. Real reporters don't jump in to defend the president under the quise of being "devil's advocate." They don't have to play those games...the devil doesn't need an advocate, he's already got the bully pulpit. A reporters job is to investigate and ask real questions, not just sit and provide a pretty face for the subject to read his press release to.

"Someone has broughten some books..."

Broughten?

How much do they pay her? Where did she get her degree, Ronald Reagan University of Grenada?

16. BROUGHT IN
I can't stand her either, but mostly because my husband thinks she is hot.

But she said "brought in some books."

19. It sure didn't sound like it to me...
Hey, I tried to give her the benefit of the doubt, but she did NOT say "brought in." You don't say "brought in" as "brawten." It was one word, used in context. Isn't she the same reporter who used the word "ascared" on the air?

24. "I'm ascared" was an expression in Columbus Ohio, too,

where I grew up, in some bluecollar households...

27. Nora is a Welchie - one who does for BushInc whatever Jack Welch demands
Edited on Wed Dec-28-05 06:36 PM by blm
as part of the deal to make her a media star. Don't let his so-called retirement fool you - he's still telling Russert, Matthews and Lauer what to do.

If Nora wasn't such an obvious Bush shill, she could have been a news media star by now.

too bad her ambitions and/or greed aren't allowing her to see the splendor of truth and the veracity of your words!

25. "The guy who tried to blow up the Brooklyn Bridge is going to sue the
president" she says. Norah is promoting the bullshit coming from the White House. One ridiculous story put forward to justify tens of thousands of illegal intrusions.

6. Yesterday she said,
as part of a "question" to her panelist:
"This administration has been second guessed more than any other administration."

Could it be they've LIED more than any other administration so we have more questions? We still can't get any honest answers.
Yup, she's a Ho.

13. where did you get that pic!
Hey I don't care if people run around naked, but when you pick a profession like journalism, your not a model for Cosmo, (not that she would qualify)
That's what is the matter with this country, celebrity journalism.

29. coming up...comparitive "jourrnalism" exercise:
Edited on Wed Dec-28-05 06:57 PM by Gabi Hayes
at 7 EDT, the Situation Room will be hosting the same CIA guy who wrote Lockjaw (sic?), about the army's refusal to send in troops to get binLaden at Tora Bora

Nora also interviews him during the Nerfball rerun

might be interesting to compare the two clips

33. Here's a problem "Most Americans say "with a wry look on her face
that sounds legit, we gotta catch these terrorists"

THAT is what is objectionable. MOST AMERICANS??? According to what PROOF? I can go around and say "Most Americans think that Bush is evil and needs to be in international criminal court, pronto" but I'm talking out my ASS if I don't back it up with FACTS or even a POLL of some sort.

It's just irresponsible to make comments like that that LEAD a conclusion without any evidence.
