And she should know.

1. No, Cokie

You're getting old. And I don't mean your chronological age. You're getting really, really old, stale, and tiresome.

[Downtown Hound]

2. It's not a fashion trend Cokehead uh, I mean Cokie

We will continue to be against it until it ends.

[BlueManDude]

3. the DC press corps elite needs to flushed down the toilet.

just fraking disgraceful.

[underpants]

11. I completely agree

and you don't get more DC press corps than legacy pundits like Cokie (and Tucker and Jonah Goldberg and Kristol)

[BlueManDude]

13. they are a huge part of the problem with the mis-governance of this country

we're talking about people who don't fathom the lives of the rest of us. these are people who don't worry about the cost of health care or education or housing, people who don't take the bus or subway to work. out of touch assholes who never leave washington and pontificate from their positions of privilege. they eventually all drift to the right (i remember when i thought cokie was somewhat of a liberal).

19. David Broder, Sally Quinn, Stephanopolous, Russert, Matthews...nt

[chelsea0011]

4. So she's saying the Iraq occupation is old news? What a dipshit!

[SteppingRazor]

5. In fairness, that's not what she said.

She said that Obama's position that he was against the Iraq War from the beginning is getting old, and that he needs to tell voters more. Not that I necessarily agree with that (Obama, and Clinton for that matter, have detailed policy positions on any major issue you'd care to name).

[ryanmuegge]

6. I thought the war was over, judging by the (lack of) media coverage.

[Cyrano]

7. Making a fool of yourself is embarrassing. Making a fool out of yourself on

a regular basis on TV is something you've got to live with the rest of your life.

My wish for Cokie is that someday, she finally realizes what a total fool she is.

[brentspeak]

8. You've put me in the awful position of having to defend Cokie the Whore Roberts

She was speaking specifically about Obama's claim to have always been against the Iraq War, saying that his repetition of that claim was "getting old".

[SteppingRazor]

9. Hurts, don't it? n/t

[brentspeak]

10. Yup. I don't ever want to have to do it again.

[JNelson6563]

24. Yes, I imagine the dumbasses are tired

of being constantly reminded of what dumbasses they were/are.

[shireen]

12. like soldiers getting killed, Iraqis getting killed, is getting "old"?

That is a thoughtless callous thing for her to say.

[ixion]

14. a million dead Iraqis may disagree with you, coke

and to think I used to consider you a respectable journalist. what the hell was I thinking. :crazy:

[TwilightGardener]

15. Do these people fucking LISTEN to themselves? War is NOT a

trend, a fashion, a national mood, a TV reality show or a watercooler topic--holy fucking Jesus, REAL people are dying or losing limbs, on both sides, and we're going bankrupt and weakening our own defense structure for no appreciable gain in our own security! The idiocy of the talking heads is reaching new levels of absurdity--yes, these ARE the same folks who tried to convince us that the war was a SWELL idea 5 years ago.

[susankh4]

16. Cokie is absolutely correct on this

Outside of this little microcosm... very few people talk about the war continuously. Most will say they would like to see it end, if you push them. But, very few see it as the top issue anymore.

[bluestateguy]

17. Ah yes, Cokie Roberts, the belle of the Georgetown Cocktail Party

An establishmentarian to the core.

[htuttle]

18. She's got that right

[Jack Rabbit]

20. Jack Rabbit says Cokie Roberts is getting old

She ought to retire.

[Guava Jelly]

21. I can't stand that ..

So and So Woman.
I think I hate her more than Candy Crowley..
yuck...

[wildbilln864]

22. Getting old!? Fuck that!

Send her ass over there for a few months. I'm sure it's getting old for our troops who were lied to about why they're there. :grr:

[rdmtimp]

23. I got 3 words for ya, Cokie...

Shut. Fuck. Up.

:puke:
