SNAP! Tucker's Fill-In (David Shuster) Slams Republican Congresswoman!

[Hosnon]

Shuster and Marsha Blackburn (R-TN 7th) are talking about the MoveOn.org ad.

Shuster: "What was the name of the last soldier to die in Iraq from your district?"

Blackburn: "I don't know"

Shuster: "Why don't you know? And why do you know all of the details about the MoveOn.org ad yet you do not know the name of the last soldier from your district to die in Iraq?"

And he did not let it go. Very impressive. I bet she'll never return to that program! :evilgrin:

1. That's no ordinary "replacement." That's David Shuster, one of the few true...

...journalists working in TV.

NGU.

[Hosnon]

2. Thanks for the name. (nt)

[liberaldemocrat7]

44. I view Marsha Blackburn a whiny, smarmy creepy little Bunt.

I view Marsha Blackburn a whiny, smarmy creepy little Bunt.

Yes she acts very hypoctiical, and cares more about power than the lives of soldiers and Iraqi civilians that died in Bu$h's Oil war in Iraq.

You have to do your best to ignore her personality when you listen and see her.

[Horse with no Name]

3. The last shot showed daggers in her eyes towards Shuster

Well done David!
These fuckers need to be called on their hypocrisy at every turn.

[la la]

4. I LOVE HIM!!!

I could not believe the reaming that little old Marsha got!!

Didja see the look on her face when Shuster thanked her for coming on the show?

I love it, love it, love it~

David-----> :yourock: :applause:

[Hosnon]

5. Yeah, you can bet she'll never be back on. (nt)

[oasis]

9. Since she was invited on the "Tucker" show, she likely assumed TC would be the host.

[Hosnon]

12. Right. If she didn't know, someone at her office just lost his or her job. (nt)

[Mythsaje]

6. Snap!

Dodge THAT one, congress-critter.

[MasonJar]

7. David Schuster needs his own show. Whom should we contact to

press such a venture? I would even watch two hours of tv if Schuster was on, as well as Keith. He is dynamite. Please let me know if you have an address I can write or a number I can call...preferably the latter.

[me b zola]

39. Dan Abrams @ msnbc

Sorry I don't have a hot link.

[rodeodance]

8. umm.. using a dead soldier for a gotcha moment. I do not agree.

[Hosnon]

11. I don't think that's what it was about. He was highlighting how ridiculous

the attention given to the MoveOn.org debacle is when compared to more serious issues.

[Cha]

19. Oh lighten up..everyone should

know the names of the Soldiers who died from bush's Oil War On Iraq..especially someone who knows all the gory details of the moveon ad.

[Marr]

25. I think it was a good way to highlight the fact that her righteous indignation was only

political pandering, and that she is not doing it out of deep concern for men and women in uniform. She was there for her political party, and Shuster made that very clear.

[Hosnon]

30. Exactly what I wanted to say.

[gratuitous]

27. I don't know if it was a "gotcha" moment

After all, it sounds like Ms. Blackburn had done a lot of work memorizing details about Move On, but very little time knowing things about her own district. Now, if the RNC blast fax had concentrated as much time on events on the ground in Iraq as it does on attacking political opponents, I'd guess that Ms. Blackburn would have a better idea of what (I'm guessing) matters more to the people in her district.

[rodeodance]

31. The means (USING a dead soldier) do not justify the end.

[fenriswolf]

32. using a dead soldier

to expose someone who was indiginate about an add that slammed a general who was trying his hardest to keep the war going. I don't think the soldior or his parents would mind for putting a politician in his place that is all for more dead soldiers (and before you slam me I have friends who have died in this war, friends from my unit, friends who i lived with and worked with)

[gratuitous]

38. Well, you're entitled to your opinion, of course

But I hardly think this is "USING" a dead soldier any more than, say, the Boot Project or Arlington National Cemetary "use" dead soldiers. And what do you make of the high dudgeon last week about how the Move On ad was conflated to become an attack on all soldiers when it questioned the independence of Mr. Petraeus?

[Binka]

42. The "Gothca Moment" Meme Is A RW Construct

You need to lose it quick rodeo, Dem's don't play that way. I'm disappointed you even thought that about Schuster and his no hypocrisy interview. :thumbsdown:

[Coexist]

10. the was thanking her lucky stars for her botox so her face didn't fall

she was SPANKED.

[Hosnon]

13. The blogosphere is on fire with this right now! (nt)

[H2O Man]

14. Please e-mail MSNBC

to express your thanks to Mr. Shuster. The republicans will be e-mailing to complain.

[Coexist]

15. wonderful idea

you might want to begin a separate thread advocating this, with an email link - more people might see it that way - there are so many threads on this topic going right now.

[Hosnon]

16. Good point. (nt)

[Hieronymus]

23. I sent email.

[CatWoman]

17. video's up!!

18. EMAIL FOR THE SHOW AND MSNBC:

Tucker's Show: [e-mail]

MSNBC: [e-mail]

[Coexist]

20. Thanks! Here is my letter:

Thank Mr. Shuster for me - his questions to Rep. Blackburn were a breath of fresh air. Imagine, a reporter asking questions about the war when politicians want to discuss garbage.

That was beautiful. I usually don't watch Mr. Carlson's show - I am glad I forgot to change the channel today - please give Mr. Carlson's job to Mr. Shuster.

Sincerely,

[Cha]

24. I looked up David Shuster because

I had no idea what he was like..


snip~
"In August 2006, he was awarded the prestigious “Bugle Award” by the 1.3 million member organization “Disabled American Veterans.” The annual honor recognizes journalists who bring attention to disabled veterans. Shuster won for his extensive coverage of the 2005 National Disable Veterans Winter Sports Clinic, including an hour long special that aired on MSNBC.

In August of 2005, Shuster reported from the eye of Hurricane Katrina as it made landfall in Biloxi, Mississippi, Shuster’s reports aired in MSNBC and “NBC Nightly News.” Shuster also spent several weeks reporting on the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina from New Orleans.

Quite a lot of activity for tucker's show when he's not on..what does that tell ya?

[mloutre]

21. Every time he's on instead of Tucker, he totally kicks asterisk.

I love that guy, either he needs to have his own show or (much to be preferred) he needs to replace Tucker on this one instead. Let's start a mass email campaign demanding it, stat.

[Hosnon]

29. No kidding. I provided the email addresses up-thread.

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

22. thank rush limbaugh, too

DS brought up what limba said about senator hagel calling him senator betrayus.

it went downhill from there for marsha. she admitted limba was wrong for saying that.

[Cha]

26. Chuck Hagel was right!

:P

[Hosnon]

28. Yeah. I had never heard that about Rush. I'm glad Shuster brought it up. (nt)

[lateo]

33. Is there a video up yet?

[CatWoman]

34. see post 17

[Hosnon]

35. On the show's site:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8063292/

[illinoisprogressive]

36. this guy needs his own program. he can replace Abhrams show.

[Bluebear]

37. Holy cannoli, get this man a regular show.

[Warren DeMontague]

40. I didn't see this particular clip, but Shuster has impressed me before.

He's one of the good ones.

[riverdeep]

41. Sent off an email

Gave kudos, and said next time (like there will be a next time, she's never coming on) ask her if she condemns the tarring of Kerry and Cleland. Or if she believes Giuliani should make up the difference like MoveOn did when he got a discounted rate.

This is the only time something resembling the truth occurs. When their carefully screened, perfectly choreographed appearances accidentally encounter journalism. Imagine if Bush had to endure the Parliamentary procedure of being forced to stand before the House of Commons (without earpieces) and answer questions regularly like the Poodle did. Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide.

[emdee]

43. I wish Shuster had done one more thing, though....

I wish he had asked her about her "coward" comments about Jack Murtha and how that differed from the ad. She was very vocal on the "Murtha is a coward" bandwagon that I felt was highly unethical.
