Coming up on Aaron Brown on CNN within ten minutes.

If Schadenfreude is like ice cream, that DU link has given me a 'brain-freeze' headache!

LOL!

[Howlin]

I'm glad somebody is playing hardball.

[HAL9000]

That was like reading an interview with O.J. Simpson.

[Monty22]

45 minutes until ritter reruns his wreck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Howlin]

Ah, the promo for Ritter coming on the Brown show said he was coming on to answer the allegations. Nothing was mentioned about Iraq.

He was NOT sandbagged.

Perhaps you should watch; as I said: 1:37 AM EST.

[Shermy]

Yep.

BTW, that station doesn't archive, so if anyone wants to save it, better do it soon.

[Carolinamom]

I put the coffee pot on.....can't wait!

Scott had his chance to say:

A year and a half ago I had a problem. The police confronted me twice. Fortunately, they caught me before I did damage to a young girl's life. I never touched an underage girl and deeply regret what I have done to my family. I am sorry that my first reaction was to mislead you. Six months of court-ordered intense therapy have made me look into my soul, and I swear to you that I have confronted my devil and the problem has been solved. My family has forgiven me and I ask all of you to forgive me. I am embarrassed for what I have done, and I love and need my family more than ever.

I have been a Marine and am still a Marine. I love my country. I hope that you can understand my passion for wanting to stop a war that I honestly do not believe is necessary. I respect the position of those who think that war is the only answer, and I ask you to respect my position. I respect George Bush as a commander in chief and an honorable and decent man. We just have fundamental disagreements on this matter. Here are the following reasons why I believe war can be avoided: ....................

Oh, yes. He should have apologized for writing a book with a Bush/Reagan hating lunatic rather than with someone who had credibility and experience with ordnance, military theory, and international negotiations.

[Howlin]

Brown doesn't like Pitt and is taking it out on Ritter. This is too much.

You're defending Scott Ritter?

[Bonaparte]

Say, I wonder if Scott "My Lips Are Sealed" Ritter's book-signing itinerary is posted anywhere? I think its our duty as compassionate conservatives to give Mr. Radioactive every last opportunity to clear his name.

[Carolinamom]

I'm glad somebody is playing hardball.

Move out Chris Mathews, and we here would give real meaning to that show.

[Howlin]

I'm sure somebody around here can find it.......LOL.

Who is his publisher?

[catfur]

OH yeah. I had been away for a while but now I'm back to FReeping again.

BTW, on that original thread Labyrinthos had this to say

As a side note, the person who writes the "Practice Commentaries" for the New York Penal Code, as published in McKinney's Consolidated Laws of New York, is Prof. Peter Preiser, from Albany Law School. I wonder if he's related to the assistant district attorney who was fired over this incident.

Turns out the guy is the father of the fired assistant DA as stated in the NY Post story of 1/22. No wonder we all love FR so much! No better resource in the world.

[doug from upland]

No, TLBSHOW wasn't defending Ritter. He was sticking it to Pitt. After what Pitt and the RAT underground did to Brown, Ritter was foolish to show up on the show. The well had been poisoned. Pitt really screwed his co-author. He was driven by hatred for Bush and it bit both of them in the posterior.

[Nick Danger]

[Bonaparte]

Thanks, Howlin. Repeat is 10 pm for me. I'll check it out. When I do, I expect to see a very surprised and shell-shocked expression on Ritter's face as Brown relentlessly pursues him. I don't think he expected that this interview would anything more than an opportunity to run the public through the grease with CNN's full cooperation. Why would Ritter willingly walk face-first into a meat grinder, unless he honestly believed he'd get the Larry King kneepad treatment?

[woofie]

Thanks for this thread ...I went to a movie (will catch the repeat)...LOL, "Hold the pickle"

[Bonaparte]

I'll make the buttered popcorn! Just enough time!

[Howlin]

Doug, I love you to death, but EVERYTHING is not interrelated.

Brown did a GOOD interview on Scott Ritter's arrest -- and what Pitt did or did not do had nothing to do with it.

[Howlin]

Isn't that the truth!
