MSNBC TRANSCRIPT
Scarborough Country
April 28, 2004
JOE SCARBOROUGH: Today, the senator‘s 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 America‘s foreign policy in the Middle East. Her complaints run by Arab newspapers and repeated across the Middle East. She said this—quote—
“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. Clinton‘s 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 Clinton‘s 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 senator‘s press secretary then started to back down.
And by 4:30 this afternoon, the senator‘s representatives admitted that she did the interview. She did know the reporter was writing to an international audience, and she did criticize the president.

Has it crossed your mind that Bill/Hill are actually just arrogant and rather stupid and that the only reason why they get away with stuff is because of an enabling media and Democrat Party cultists that share their ideology?
Look, I'd like to believe it. They are capable of such. Uh-huh, I conclude these people are dumb and are just as delusional as that egomanic with the delegates.
What? This is why I don't watch his show.
I take it he took that from Chris Matthews' interview with Rumsfeld today.
Why would you think it would be trouble for Bush, though? You can't expect the president to act in a manner to anticipate every lie or spin thrown his way.
If you watch the Matthews/Rumsfeld interview it is plain that even though that's the angle Matthews played up, that was not the point and Rumsfeld gave a very detailed accounting here. It was ridiculous the way Matthews characterized it and very shallow. Rumsfeld painted a picture of a CiC who consulted him on the readiness of our ability to wage war---not IF we should go. And Rumsfeld said there is zero doubt the president made the right decision. Sounds right to me.
Perhaps her reply upon learning this technique was kissing Suda Arafat on the cheek! :-)
I'd like to believe you're correct, but it seems so unlikely:
Was this up coming election ALWAYS going to be close? OF COURSE IT WAS!
Could it be that some of the liberal media is beginning to wake up?????? just maybe??????
After "nasty" should come Mygirlsdad's celebrated acronym: "RLPBH" (Raving Lunatic Psycho-bit#h from He!!) Originally created for the first of two ex-sister in laws, but a custom fit for She WHo Must Not Be Named, don't you think?
SCARBOROUGH: Hillary Clinton, one of the most powerful, one of the most influential politicians in America, possibly in the world, she makes these comments, which I must say, shocked me the first time I read them, and yet I haven‘t seen them on the wires. I haven‘t seen AP report them. I haven‘t seen them in “The New York Times.” I haven‘t seen them in “The Washington Post.”
BURKMAN: I used to work for a guy named Rick Lazio. And we fought this in 2000, how they covered the campaign from the viewpoint of Hillary Rodham Clinton. The media loves her. The networks love her. They cover for her. They cover for her.
SCARBOROUGH: I want to read you a letter to “Front Page” magazine from a Marine who is serving in Iraq. And this is what he wrote—quote—“Our enemy has learned that the key to defeating the mighty American military is by swaying public opinion at home and abroad. We love to criticize ourselves almost to an endless degree. Our enemies see this as a weakness and are trying to exploit it.”
Jersey politics have smelled for a long time.
Hillary "won" the N.Y. Senate seat through massive fraud and corruption.
A NATIONAL ELECTION IS SOMETHING QUITE DIFFERENT!
Whilst I don't doubt,in the least,how evil,vile,corrupt,and underhanded the Clintons are,they have lost a lot of their power,they do NOT still "own" the DNC,Drudge,talk radio,cable news,the Internet,and yes,even the network news (though most there would cheer)would NOT roll over and take her anointment without lots of condemnation and dirt throwing.
This nation is still 1/2 and 1/2,with a rather low level of indies.It is dead certain, that even 1/2 of the "purist"/MORE CONSERVATIVE THAN THOU group would instantly become crawl over broken glass topped burning lava,to vote for President Bush,should the tinfoil scenario come to pass.
One of her major problems is that she can't control the internet. That drives her CRAZY (crazier). If she could, she would shut it down today. Otherwise people will know that she is a liar and doesn't exactly care much about the American people or the military.
LOL. Hitlary is caught in yet another lie. She should just grab her broom and fly away for a vacation!
