MSNBC TRANSCRIPT
Scarborough Country
April 28, 2004
JOE SCARBOROUGH: Today, the senators office tried to strong-arm us into retracting that story. . . .
Last night, we showed you comments made by Hillary Clinton that criticized George Bush and Americas foreign policy in the Middle East. Her complaints run by Arab newspapers and repeated across the Middle East. She said thisquote
Their stubbornness and arrogance is breathtaking. And, as a result, we continue to go down a path that I think is fraught with horrible dangers, especially for the young men and women serving in Iraq, but also for Iraqis, for the stability of the region.. . .
Early this morning, Ms. Clintons office began calling our staff and the president of MSNBC, claiming the statements we reported last night were never made by the senator. . . .
This morning at about 10:00 a.m., we got an angry phone call from Senator Clintons office. They were demanding an apology and a retraction. They said she never spoke to the Arab press. She never criticized the president, and, in fact, never did the interview at all.
Our producers immediately double-checked our sources and we tracked down the reporter who did the interview with Senator Clinton, and by noon we found out that the interview did take place. And the senators press secretary then started to back down.
And by 4:30 this afternoon, the senators representatives admitted that she did the interview. She did know the reporter was writing to an international audience, and she did criticize the president.

I'm less shocked that HilLIARy made those statements than by the fact that MSNBC actually fought back.

The truth will set us free. Hitlery and her evil cohorts must be defeated. I would prefer destroyed, but that is up to God.

Typical Clintoon. Just plain un-American if you ask me.

I think as big a story was Scarborough's first piece about Bush not asking Rumsfeld's opinion about going to war. He amped that story up to such a degree that I had to turn him off. I'm afraid this might be trouble for Bush.

Me too! I'm speechless.
I might just have to write a "nice" letter to MSNBC for a change.
Now is the time to hit Hillary. We need to get the word out to everyone fast.

Being part of the story trumps any story, everytime. They prolly didn't know Hil would have any problem with their reporting her statement. Hil made the whole thing so much juicier, by trying to bully em.

deny, deny, deny, untill your caught, then spin it.
This lying witch will do anything.
I will not comment any more, I will get banned....

She would be a political whore only. In the ordinary sense, Hitlery would have few customers, except for a few 1940's era Germans currently residing in Brazil, who might still go for the massive ankles and thighs.

Ooooh, this is TOO juicy.
It seems to this FReeper that Hillary has been behind the whole Dem nomination process to this point. When Howard the Duck looked "poised" to take the nom and run the Clinton money machine out of town, the Clinton party machine revved up the Kerry campaign. Now that Kerry is the "presumed" nom, we've seen the Clinton FBI files slime machine drip-drip on him to where liberals are already having buyer's remorse.
Now, Hillary has to backtrack on some liberal-traitor red-meat comments she makes overseas, to "Maintain her political viability within the system."
She's running folks, my date in the "Hillary Annointed" pool is Thursday, September 23rd.

I wish Scarborough had great ratings for this one. The trouble is, he doesn't, but thanks for posting it.
