On this morning’s “The Chris Matthews Show” on NBC, ABC News correspondent Sam Donaldson said that Vice President Cheney certainly knew what his chief of staff I. Lewis Libby was doing when he told reporters about Valerie Plame working for the CIA. In addition, Newsweek’s Howard Fineman first compared President Bush to Tony Soprano of the HBO series “The Sopranos,” then called him “The Godfather,” referring to a part played by Marlon Brando wherein he was the mafia chief of America’s largest crime family named Vito Corleone.

The Donaldson sequence went like this:

Donaldson has brain rot. He and Fineman have a lot of nerve taking Bush and Cheney to the woodshed, if they couldn't demand Clinton step down. These two men have no credibility left.

[kingattax]

to say that sam the sham and howie fineman have no credibility left is to make an incorrect assumption that these 2 goons had any to begin with.

It's fun watching these old hippies like Donaldson and Fineman trying to create just one more "scandalgate" before they croak. LOL!!! Hippie losers.

[DoughtyOne]

I stand corrected, seeing no evidence submitted to the contrary.

[Arizona Carolyn]

It just plain makes me mad.

[Lawgvr1955]

I have lost track of the daily talking point. Is Bush an idiot today or is he Tony Soprano? I can't keep it straight.

" ABC News correspondent Sam Donaldson said that Vice President Cheney certainly knew what his chief of staff I. Lewis Libby was doing "

Sam Donaldson also said President Clinton would "resign within a week."

Sam....Sam Donaldson......isn't he from the eighties? Oh, that's right, he's in his eighties.......

[YOUGOTIT]

Donaldson, lets see now, I think he is another of the anti-American left-wing fascist media, who have as their agenda the destruction of the United States and handing it over to the Islamic Terrorist or the Communist. But I may be wrong, he may just be an old low IQ idiot who read words over the TV air ways.

[Brilliant]

So what if he did? It's not a crime.

Sam Donaldson

I don't listen to anyone with that bad of a toupee.

[oceanview]

what was Libby "doing".

at best, he was chit-chatting with 3 reporters about the identity of Wilson's wife - SOMETHING THAT THEY ALREADY KNEW.

[linkinpunk]

You hit the nail on the head.

Can you imagine them ever claiming that Clinton knew of every misdead of all of the people of his administration that were indicted?

[asp1]

I say let them keep on talking. The more they talk the quicker they go down. The mainstream media is talking themselves out of existence. This is a good thing.

[carlr]

The MSM has thrown off all pretenses,other than lip service,of objectivity.
They recognize that the "new media" is against them and gaining in power and influence.
They are shoring up their base.

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

Hey Donaldson and you other MSM jerks, get it right.
Either Bush is the Godfather or he is a stupid cowboy!
Could you jerks PULEEZ get your insults straight! I thought you said Cheney is the Godfather? I am so confused...how am I supposed to hate Bush if you keep switching the nasty names around on me?

[Moonmad27]

Just discovered my voicemail received a message on the same theme - it started out with the ominous statement "a tsunami of lies and distortions". Prank call or DNC ad campaign? Hard to tell.

[bfree]

I'd rather have The Godfather as president than Fredo(John F'ng Kerry)
