Truly astonishing :)
Well considering I'm stuck in the middle of Nowhere, Kansas it's the best way I would have to hear or talk to him! LOL!
NBC/MTP has had severe problems with their 'live' events.
When Russert interviewed President Bush in the White House a few weeks ago, I noticed how orange the President was. Wrote it off to bad make up or poor lighting. Even Russert's appearance looked orange.
When Russert was interviewing Kerry a couple weeks ago, Kerry looked strangely orange, too. Kerry was remote from Florida (IIRC). I did a screen cap, but it showed up pinkish. Some watching TV said their screens showed the strangly orange coloring on Kerry.
Now, today, the Powell interview is 'raw' footage?
NBC may need to look into who is running their 'live' broadcast event. They haven't been very professional lately.
Help!
I admit that I almost never watch alphabet news, and only the sunday shows by accident - which, today represents.
Who is the evil beast on NBC [wearing pink and a sneer] who is currently ambushing some GI's wife who clearly thought she was there to talk about her husband and NOT about prison torture?
I left the TV on NBC because I'd watched part of Colin Powell's interview with Russert [Powell did pretty good, questions were insulting, what's new]. When I passed the TV again this nasty, sneering, vampire was trying to get an ex-interrogator to cop to crimes against humanity, then moved on to climb over someone's wife.
And all this time I thought 'baby killer' was bed enough!
;)
I just read the pertinent MTP transcript (between Powell- who was still on mike - and his aide) on Drudge, and it appears that Powell's aide wanted to end the interview, and Powell didn't. Still it is very bad form for a major show to air the exchange.
I'm so important, I'm so good! My 'grilling' is the best!
Graham was at the very least irresponsible...An irresponsibility used for political gain by our enemies (democrats and islamofascists). What Graham intimated was heresay, overblown and out-of-context criticism. Graham is a man who wasn't on Bush's team in 2000, if I am not mistaken he shilled for McCainiac. For these two reasons Graham has entered McCain's rank in my estimation.
Hayworth had his stomach stapled... there is a rumor he is going to run for Governor.
Yep
That's my screen capture Drudge is using.
In fact Geraldo Rivera and Juan Williams were having a love fest last night ... I have never seen Juan so giddy. Little inside jokes about "their" party. It was disgusting.
Big pat on the back to you McGruff. Indulge all you want.
I've actually seen Juan on some "news" show on BET and he is MILD in what he says compared to what I saw when he was on BET. He actually tones down his rhetoric on FNC if you can believe that.
Monica Crowley is saying that Emily is Powell's aide - former aide in a few hours probably.
Graham is trying to set himself up to run in 2008
I'm sure it was an issue of time and there had been repeated signals that they had to wrap up which had gone ignored to that point. Since it was unedited, there certainly was no issue of reluctance to not answer as Russert clearly tried to convey in his needless ending remark.
Yeah looks like he is going for the crazy Pats' vote. You know those whacked out Robertson and Buchanan supporters. If either Graham or McCain become the nomine in 2008 I won't be voting for either one of them.
I went straight to TCM where they're airing "Gidget". Much better than the talking heads. I've had all I can take of their nonsense.
