Today Show: Reeve Fights on for Kerry; Inspiring Interview with Afghan President Karzai

The Today Show

[governsleastgovernsbest]

Today Show ping.

[Angry Enough]

We were treated, not once but twice, to the same clip of Reeve from the 1996 Democratic National Convention, saying "America does not let its neediest fend for themselves,"

He was referring to the tragedy of abortion, right?

[Bahbah]

Thanks for the report, governs. I do not want to miss the Karzai interview.

[Semper Paratus]

Amazing they didn't badger Karzai about voting ink?

[governsleastgovernsbest]

Great point. I never heard Reeve speak on abortion, but assuming he followed the liberal line, wouldn't the irony have been striking?

[Paul_B]

GL - excellent report. Thanks, from a non-TV guy.

I noticed Katie immediately asked if Chris Reeves death would have an effect on the election.
So, as far as her feeling bad....it's BS. She thinks his death helped the Dem's and wanted confirmation....period.

Credit goes to Holt. I doubt Lauer would have missed the opportunity to take shots at the election.

I do not want to miss the Karzai interview.

I'd encourage people in time zones where Today hasn't come on yet to put aside their aversion to the liberal pap, sit through the Reeve segment, and watch Karzai. It is one of the most moving, inspiring interviews by a political leader I can remember.

Yes, the way she said that, I expected we would hear from political pundits, which would have been ghoulish. We did not. Perhaps it's coming up later in the show.

[SquirrelKing]

Thanks for the ping and analysis. 1st time ever to watch and then get your report - cool.

[Maria S]

Thanks, once again!, to you governs...with the early heads-up (we're on CDT), I checked in for 15 seconds to see how the Perkster was holding up at the start of 'Today'. You are right! Her eyes were a tad red!

Outstanding comment, Angry!! I AM sorry for Reeve's family...his wife has stood by him for several tragic years. However, to have liberals (Ron Reagan will probably be leading the charge) milk this is disgusting. And let's be honest...Christopher Reeve WAS doing something that was very dangerous when he broke his neck. A lot of us common folks are living with situations that just happened...beyond our control and not our fault. That's what life is about, and we don't have wealthy friends helping support an extravagant lifestyle.

Today just aired an interview of Katie with Reeve's wife. I'm assuming it was a re-airing of an old interview. She was impressive: intelligent, caring, sensitive.

In any case, I'd be interested to know what you think of the Karzai interview.

And from the original:

The message could not have been made too much clearer. Honor Chris Reeve: vote Democrat!

And there's the next debate's talking point: A beloved Hollywood star's "dying wish"...

And The Sheep will believe. That's what Sheep do.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

I'm not sure I've ever seen her so sad,

Imagine how she's going to look on November 3 after Kerry goes down in flames. I'll tune in just to laugh at her pain without mercy.

From my website this morning:

NBC's Today exploits Reeve to benefit Kerry

It didn't take long for the leftists in the media to start to employ and exploit the memory of Christopher Reeve to the potential benefit of John Kerry's campaign.

We were treated, not once but twice, to the same clip of Reeve from the 1996 Democratic National Convention, saying "America does not let its neediest fend for themselves," as a man in a wheelchair looked on. Got it.

Just in case anyone was still wondering where Chris was coming from, here was a clip of him saying "it gets lonely sometimes to say 'come on, let's get more progressive.'" Yes, that's the problem with America. Not liberal enough.

The message could not have been made too much clearer. Honor Chris Reeve: vote Democrat!

And we're supposed to be the "bad guys?"

Honored to have made it onto your web site!
