TRANSCRIPT FROM TUCKER CARLSON SHOW:
Adding to the sexism, elitism, faith, and threat cards in the White House arsenal, comes the "far right" card.
Speaking in support of Harriet Miers on Tucker Carlson's MSNBC show last night was Brad Blakeman, described by Carlson as "a former deputy assistant to President Bush [who] shared an office with Harriet Miers for three years."
I'm posting the entire transcript of the Blakeman interview below. Go to the parts in bold to see the "far right" business. CARLSON: ...today one of the many questions regarding Harriet Miers has been answered, in part, anyway, in a questionnaire Miers filled out while running for the Dallas city council in 1989. She clearly indicated, or seemed to, that she's opposed to abortion, unless the mother's life was in danger.
Some conservatives are not satisfied with that, but one who appears to be, joins us now from Washington. He is Brad Blakeman. He's a former deputy assistant to President Bush. He shared an office with Harriet Miers for three years.
Mr. Blakeman, thanks for coming on. [SNIP]
BLAKEMAN: No. I think, Tucker, the president could have put forth Mother Teresa, and there were some on the far right that said, "Well, you know, she's not really religious enough for me."
CARLSON: That's totally not true. You know that that's not true.
BLAKEMAN: No, it is true. The fact of the matter is, the far right...
CARLSON: Hold on. Wait. Hold on. Slow down.
BLAKEMAN: The far right thinks that...
On the right, the "far right" is anyone who bids seven to your six.
On the left, those who bid fifty to your five are . . .
Progressives.
You just wait till he kneepads come back from the cleaner's.
No, I did not. Your analytical skills were apparently not developed in either your service or any other employment.
Those who are betraying us do not simply criticize President Bush.
Us Army guys were too busy hooking up with the Air Force chicks while you guys sat home.
