WOODRUFF: As we reported a little while ago in our blog segment, the Internet is abuzz with reaction to comments by New York Democratic Congressman Maurice Hinchey. The congressman over the weekend shared his views about the now disputed CBS News report about President Bush's Air National Guard service. Representative Maurice Hinchey is with me now, he joins us from Albany, New York.
Congressman Hinchey, what exactly did you say on Saturday at this town meeting in Ithaca?
REP. MAURICE HINCHEY (D), NEW YORK: Well, Judy, what I said came in response to a question from one of my constituents. There were about 100 people there. And they asked some questions about media manipulation. They were concerned about the issue of Armstrong Williams, for example, people being hired by this administration to pretend that they were giving objective news and information but were really putting forth the point of view of the administration rather than doing it objectively. And also the issue with Mr. Gannon, who was admitted to the White House press corps but who was not a legitimate press person, and was there just to throw softballs to the president.
And then the issue of the CBS Dan Rather event came up, and I said that there were false documents or documents which were falsified and presented as being accurate and there was a question as to where those documents came from. And in the context of the discussion I suggested that -- my theory was that I wouldn't be surprised if it came from the White House political operation, headed up by Karl Rove.
WOODRUFF: Well, I'm reading here a transcript of what you said, you said: "I have my own beliefs about how that

Hinchey is such a joke. But then, so's his district.
how old is judy woodruff now....about 90 ?
LOL!
Look up 'Moonbat' in the dictionary; next to it is Hinchey's picture.
LOL. I met the guy once. Afterwards I felt the need for a shower.
Uh, I believe she is known here as Judy Woof Woof.
Karl had nothing to do with it. I set Rather up.
dog lovers should be really insulted over that.
Hmmm, So now we need to all speculate and get our theories on the air?
I'm quite surprised, frankly, that this has gotten all the attention that it has
They still don't get it. They're going to be called on it every time they spew their bile.
Long live the pajamahadeen
This is the stuff of novels.
“We begin with the news from the White House that President Bush knew that al Qaeda was planning to hijack a U.S. airliner and he knew it before September the 11th.”
– Judy Woodruff on CNN’s NewsNight, May 15. [74]
One quote from Judy the Moonbat. I believe that she was off her meds here.
Now that is what they call a "Classic"!
About made me choke on my cuppa, that one did.
Eventually political impotence will lead to paranoia amongst the Donks. Their self destruction proceeds apace.
Unfortunately, the Congress is not doing its job. There are -- this is something that ought to be investigated by the Congress of the United States. But this Congress is not doing its job. It's not standing up for the American people the way it should. And, as a consequence, there is a certain amount of frustration out there and that frustration was voiced by the people who attended the meeting that I held last Saturday.

well, we all screamed about our reps and senators no confronting CBS's slanders, and the FCC not threatening to pull CBS's license over the manipulation of news to attempt to turn the election...
so I guess we are in agreement there.....
Since Hinchey wants to speculate, has anyone heard the rumor that Hinchy has a "secret" interest in a construction company that tends to get a lot of work on Federal, State, and/or municipal projects within his district, and that Hinchey uses his political weight to ensure that the construction company gets plenty of work and is always paid on time?
