ATTENTION ALL:
Another Freeper watching Chris Mathews implode in his pre-game show!
Howard Fineman said it's all Condi's fault, that as National Security Director it was her responsibility to put all the info together and inform the president. Then Chris says, all she did was try and be interested in what the president was interested in...sort of like his butler !!
He really said that!!! I sure hope Rush was listening....just imagine if a republican or Sean, or Rush had called a black democrat little more than a "House N-word" That's what it was..that's what Mathews was implying,and believe me, he knew immediately what he said, because he added, "I say that advisably".
Can't wait to see if Chris Mathews takes heat for this!!
BTW....Fineman and Mathews agree that Tenet is safe...that he's a "made man", a la mafia. How's that for another ethnic slur!!
"Well, I got to tell you something. And I may get in trouble for saying this, but I‘m going to say it anyway because I‘ve had it. That August 6 PDB that they want to hang around the president‘s neck—it‘s a bunch of junk. Look at it. Ninety percent of it dealt with things that were three years old and none of the predictions in there were proved out. If you knew the circumstances of how it was prepared, you' d be scared."

Did you happen to catch Thompson on with Matthews when that was said?

I tried to bold her achievements, but there are too many! I'd have to bold the entire article!
That's some butler - don't you think, Chrissie boy?!
He had Jay-me Gore-lick on and dealt very briefly with her conflict of interest (ie. asked the question and let her answer nearly uninterupted with almost no follow-up) THEN moved on and started asking questions about the different testimonies as if nothing was wrong.
(1) He VALIDATED her presence on the committee rather than bring it under scrutiny and question.
He then had Sensenbrenner on and asked him about Gore-lick and then started asking him whether he (or any of his aides) were meeting with the White House.......ostensibly taking orders.
(2) He tried to INVALIDATE Gore-Licks critic.
THIS IS UNBIASED JOURNALISM?????????????
Don't give up breathing while you wait...
