Coming up on ON THE RECORD WITH GRETA VAN SUSTERN:

Prominent DC lawyer disappears without a trace....Could it be Arkancide?.........

[drjimmy]

Xenu made him do it.

OMG that too funnnyyy LOLOL

Too bad both Greta and John are scientlogists

[dragonblustar]

Tammy Haddan reminded me of a clucking hen when Coale said he would campaign with McCain.

Newsweak Exclusive: ? I heard this over the weekend right here from a blogger’s site.

[dragonblustar]

Greta and John are scientlogists

Are they really? I wouldn't have thought she would be the type to fall for that.

Greta wasn’t on last night. Geraldo was on for soooooooo long talking about the storm. Wonder if Greata will mention anything about it on her show this evening. Maybe not with Convention speeches going on.

Greta was on last night. She had a pre-recorded interview with Laura Bush and Cindy McCain.

I’ve worked with Greta on a project before. I found her to be down to earth and kind. She’s obviously quite liberal but I can tolerate her more than most.

[Bearshouse]

He says we will be surprised by the other Democrats he has recruited to work for John McCain..... Bill Clinton & Michael Moore? No thanks, keep em.

[cblue55]

Greta’s married?

John Coale is a mover and shaker behind the scenes in the Democratic Party. I first saw this video over the weekend and was shocked to hear he had been campaigning for John McCain for three weeks even before the DNC in Denver. There is a related story that Hillary’s brother is also wanting to campaign for McCain but Coale felt this might embarass the family. In the interview he alludes to some surprising annoucements in the coming weeks of Democrats supporting McCain.

He makes a strong argument for McCain in the interview. I am a big Greta fan and was interested in what her husband was like. Unlike many more liberal news folks she does a pretty good job of getting answers from her guests that are less spin and closer to the truth. Bill O’Reilly could learn a few lessons from her.

Yep .. and to that guy. Can't quite picture them together, looks wise, but there ya go.

Greta's Yacht: "Almost A Work Of Art"

Tampa Bay Illustrated takes us aboard Greta Van Susteren's yacht. The S.S. Sophie is an "80-foot floating icon of another age," the story says. The multimillion-dollar yacht was launched in 1947. "She's almost a work of art," Greta's husband John Coale, a D.C. super-attorney.

"We bought her about 6 and a half years ago and are aboard every chance we get," which is nearly every weekend in the summer when Sophie goes north to Washington, the Chesapeake or Maine, and once a month while the yacht winters in the Tampa Bay area.

Maybe Hillary has her fingerprints on this one but they will not be found. This might be the indirect way she will be “impacting” the Obama campaign. There will definitely be some interesting days ahead.

[STARWISE]

Yes ... surprising comment about
Hillary’s brother in the video.

[Beatthedrum]

These idiots are still looking to thrust the PIAPS upon us in 4 years and are desperate to make sure Obambi loses.

All the cosmetic surgery and fund raising are in place for 2012. What a pack of losers. She’s unqualified now and will be in 2012. If Obambi loses, surely the democraps have more sense than to run the PIG. Then again, this is the party with all it’s governors and other experienced people that ran the festering turd Gore in 2000, the inveterate liar Kerry in 2004 and now Obambi, not because he’s qualified, but simply because he’s a black and can make speeches ???

They probably are stupid enough to nominate this bitch in 2012. I pray she’s not able to run in 2012, because if Obambi loses, in about 2 1/2 years, they will roll her out again and we’ll have to see her ugly, cosmetically enhanced face everywhere we look...

Come on God, do us all a favor !

“He says we will be surprised by the other Democrats he has recruited to work for John McCain”

No $h_t! They want Hillary to have that second chance in four years.

[goldfinch]

Didn’t Greta’s hubby work on the Kerry campaign? I vaguely remember Greta making a disclosure about her husband’s association with some campaign from time to time when it could have looked like a conflict of interest. Does anybody remember for sure?
