John O'Neill To Be On Hardball Tonight
Hardball | 8/12/04 | Chris Matthews

Posted on 08/12/2004 4:04:32 PM PDT by pookie18

Since O'Neill will be the guest, I'm sure it will be "hardball". However, after what he encountered on Crossfire with Carvile (sic) & Leapin' Lanny Davis, this'll probably feel like a walk in the park...

Well that and he had an "alleged" affair with a male staffer he brought into his government.

In the east, Hardball will be going to the John O'Neill story after the ads finish. (Just a few minutes.)

Why did he resign? Just because he is gay? That doesnt make sense, there has to be more to it..

Adulterous gay affair was about to be revealed in a lawsuit by (I believe) a state employee.

Possibly releated to illegal fundraising/ major donor misconduct.

HE resigned because his "lover" (yuck) was blackmailing him. The guy wanted lots of money or he would go public.

The same guy - was given a the Homeland Security position for the state even though he had no qualifications for this job.

There are also numerous fund raising scandals that this could be attached to.

The media is desperately trying to paint this guy a victim of homosexuality discrimination.

I don't know enough about NJ politics to know if the NJ media will help him. In Atlanta we had a black democrat for a mayor - Bill Campell. Strange enough the liberal AJC tore Campbell to shreds over the numerous shady deals he was involved in. Campbell yelled racism every time but the AJC kept tearing into him.

McGreevy gave his boyfriend 5 different jobs.......the boyfriend is a non-American (Israeli) who was appointed to be head of NJ Homeland Security, yet he could not be cleared to attend Homeland Security meetings. There's some more dark stuff behind this that still has not come out, as I understand it.

One pundit (I think it was Buchanan) said the civil lawsuit the boyfriend has filed is really a shakedown for $5 million. More dirt is expected.

The horrible part is that by waiting until Nov. 15 for his resignation to take place, McGreevy has ensured that the dems will continue in power instead of having an election for gov. Nov. 2.

OK, there is a little theory that I have been kicking around privately:

Just in case people think this former Swift Boat commander John O'Neill is a Republican - he has been a Democrat all his life, and supported John Edwards in the most recent nomination process within the Democrat party.

A Democrat who has a personal and real dislike (running back many years) for John Kerry. Just go to the Dick Cavett show videotape where Kerry and O'Neill had a face-off back about 1972 or so.

John O'Neill may still support Edwards on the top of the ticket.

You don't suppose that John O'Neill might be trying to get Kerry bumped off the ticket (a la Torricelli) at the last minute to put John Edwards on top, do you?

This is not without precedent. Remember Tom Eagleton.

Thanks.

O'Neill points out Kerry no hero.

Matthews gets irritated and demands that Naval terms used. (Chris flustered).

O'Neill takes issue with the "two tours" phrasing.

John Hurley, silver haired gent I saw on Fox yesterday is on, too, for the defense. Hope Hurley tells the "Kerry went to Cambodia with Navy SEALS" story again.

Matthews giving much more time to Hurley. Matthews will interrupt O'Neill and right now is ignoring him.

I hear McGreevey will be Kerry's choice of Sec. of Defense.

Kerry needs someone to lead his "SENSITIVE" war on terror.

Hurley is the one who found Rasmann and brought him to Iowa for that "first" meeting.

O'Neill explaining how medals received.

Matthews demanding to know how Kerry received the medals.

O'Neill explaining Kerry put himself in for these things.

Matthews trying to nail down O'Neill to saying Kerry has courage.
