RESPOND TO DASHCLE AND CBS FOR OUTRAGEOUS SEGMENT THIS MORNING
http://www.cbsnews.com/sections/earlyshow/main500202.shtml ^ | 3-21-2003 | Cordova Belle

Did anyone see CBS's "The Early Show" this morning (about 8:15 a.m. CST) when to my horror Harry Smith interviewed Tom Dashcle and asked him:

Smith: (words to the effect) "Senator Dashcle, what is your response to people who have criticized you for what you said about President Bush and the war on Iraq?"

Dashcle: mumbles something about how his opponents want to squelch his right of free speech and then says: "It's time to put that behind us and MOVE ON." !!!!!

Did anyone else see this? Were you as disgusted and outraged as I was?

Harry Smith is just as culpable as Dashcle for this deceptive and insipid interview.

The correct question to ask would have been, "Senator Dashcle, in light of your criticism of President Bush, blaming him for the war in Iraq, would you like to clarify or amend your previous comments?"

Instead, Harry Smith blames the heat Dashcle's taken on the people who disagree with him, accusing his opponents of trying to stifle Dashcle's right of free speech!

MORE enraging is Dashcle's statement, "Time to put it behind us and move on."

I didn't see this and i am sure it was even more grotesque than you say.

correct me if i'm wrong, wasn't it senator dasshole who couldn't move on? on the eve of war, he was still mired in what did or did not happen in the UN.

the "move on" comment is so damn vexing-- i can't tell you how livid i am right now. what a jackoff that sinister, unpatriotic SOB is.

Move to France ,Tom, you twisted turd eater.

LOL! You are so right! I tuned them in this morning instead of Katie or the other show, just hoping against hope that CBS had gotten a clue and decided that to go more "fair and balanced" in the morning might--just MIGHT--increase their ratings and pull them off the bottom.

You'd think the higher-ups at CBS would take a clue from FOX NEWS---if CBS's morning show is on the bottom, the way to capture viewers is to give people like us something we CAN WATCH in the morning. Since I'm not on cable, there's no morning show I can watch.

CBS, Get a hook and take people like Harry Smith off the show--you'd greatly increase your viewership.

(Seems obvious to me)

Good for you. I want us to put up a billboard in S. Dakota that says something like:

DA$$HOLE = CHIRAQ

S. DAKOTA = FRANCE?

TIME TO BOYCOTT?

If Daschle is really serious about putting this behind I want to see him on O'Reilly. He's been on programs that are trying to rebuild his credibility. His credibility is shot.

I thought it couldn't get any better---until I saw the pic with Rush dangling Dashcle off the balcony!

That one takes the prize!!!

I only hope he and his cohorts want to jump OFF the balcony, when the next election's results are in.

Because this morning I wanted to catch some live footage of what's going on in Iraq, and I don't have cable TV or I would have been on FOX NEWS. I'm limited to CBSNBCABC.

I KNEW I couldn't take The Perky One this morning, so channel-surfing over to ABC, I stopped by CBS. Just long enough to See-BS.

I'm sorry, you're right...I set myself up for this.

Katie Couric should pound sand -- I find her insufferable even when there is no war...
