Dana Perino Compares White House Attack On Fox to Hugo Chavez
Newsbusters ^ | 10/26/09 | Noel Sheppherd

Former White House Press Secretary Dana Perino on Sunday compared last week's attempt by the White House to exclude Fox News from of a pool interview to Hugo Chavez shutting down television stations in Venezuela.

As NewsBuster Jeff Poor reported Thursday, the Obama administration earlier in the day tried to shut Fox News out of an interview with pay czar Kenneth Feinberg that was to be part of a pool that the cable network would always be involved in.

On "Fox News Sunday," when the panel discussion turned to this subject, Perino really went after the White House for what she called conduct "unbecoming" and an impediment to our efforts to "help emerging democracies get journalists and government officials to talk to one another" (video embedded below the fold with partial transcript):

From the LA Times in July:

"Reporting from Caracas, Venezuela — Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has made moves to tighten government control over national media, say critics who warn that the Internet could be his next target.

"Chavez recently announced that the government would review the licenses of and possibly close as many as 240 radio stations -- more than one-third of all AM and FM broadcasters. He has proposed rules that would limit the sharing of programming by stations, something that helps many stay economically viable."

Sounds awfully familiar.

A few weeks ago I was in Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport (”Hartsfield” to you and I) and I saw Ms. Perino coming down the aisle of the terminal walking along with Donna Brazille. Perino is petite and very attractive and Brazille is, well...

She is correct, and courageous.

Good on ya, Dana!

(Question: Might some other Republican women show such courage speaking such truth to such power? e.g. Sen Graham?)

As a native Atlantan and current resident, some of us like to call it "Hartsfield/Fat Bastard Airport" in protest to the corrupt addition to the 'Hartsfield' name.
