not-alone: Isn't it great that Jumpin' Jeffords made this Graham idiot, chairman of the Intelligence Committee?
And you also don't follow FR usage. Which is why I explained it to you.
We can include quotes from the Sunday shows!
Team America vs. Team Terror!
Let me know if you want to do this!
My on-screen digital cable lists MTP on MSNBC at 10 PM, 1 AM, and 4 AM.
From the transcript, here's the exact exchange:
MR. RUSSERT: Wouldn’t it show the world we’re united if, in fact, Congress joined with the president in support of this?
SEN. CLINTON: I think the world knows what we all know, which is that the Congress is going to give this president this authority.
MR. RUSSERT: Overwhelming?
SEN. CLINTON: I can’t imagine that we won’t. I mean, as we saw with, you know, the 1998 quote, this has been the policy of the United States for four years now.
MR. RUSSERT: But in 1991, 85 percent of the Democrats voted against a resolution to give President Bush authority to invade Iraq when he went into Kuwait.
SEN. CLINTON: I wasn’t there then, you know. I supported that war and...
MR. RUSSERT: You see a much different Democratic response this time?
SEN. CLINTON: Well, I think that, you know, from the Democratic perspective, what we want to do is, you know, make a decision in a deliberative manner so that it isn’t in politics. You know, the last thing in the world you want is to have to make a decision for political purposes. You want to do what you think is right. Maybe the, you know, political world agrees with you, maybe it doesn’t, but you have to, at the end of the day, look in the mirror and believe you did the right thing. And that’s what I hear my colleagues saying. You know, I have the utmost respect for the Democratic leadership of our major committees, of Tom Daschle and others. You know, these are very thoughtful, patriotic Americans. They’re trying to do what the right thing is. And I’m convinced that, you know, just like me, if we’re convinced it’s the right thing, we’re going to do it, and I would have no problem with that at all.
End excerpt.
FWIW, by my count from the transcript, The Hildebeaste said, "You know," 36 times.And the pacing of the "You knows" is interesting. She seemed to say it most often when she was talking about campaigning. Here's an example:
You know, I’ve been up to Ft. Drum, you know, you know, in upstate New York. I’ve shaken hands with the young men and women who wear our uniform, many of whom have just gotten back from Afghanistan.
And the truth:
We're a bunch of anti-American commies. Why, Bill and I were protesting in the old Soviet Union, for heaven's sake! And we wrote the book on political expediency. Trangulation? We invented that. When the Republicans took over Congress in '94, did it faze us? No, we simply spoke out on what we thought the little people wanted to hear: welfare reform, balance budget, military might. Ha! Did we fool the suckers that time. As far as our consciences go, what the hell is that? I don't know from personal experience. I have no trouble looking in mirrors--I have no reflection!!! I do have one magic mirror that tells me I'm the fairest of them all....
Blech! What do they take us for?
mware: "Her answer was so confusing, I don't know what the hell she said."
This is her game. I have watched her become an expert at disassembling an answer, of obliquely dancing around the question until the actual question is lost within her nonsensical but oh so serious verbage.
In my heart-I wish an interviewer would simply respond to one of her non answers by saying " Would you please answer my question directly-you just gave the kind of ambiguous answer our listeners dislike. I am sure you are smart enough to respond with clarity-let's try the question again."
Of course, that would take an penchant for truth on the reporter s part, and one big cauldron of courage. Because...my guess...all hell would break loose.
Tell us, give us a list of this private freeper "lingo". "Cheese"....."moose" ...."Klintoon"..... we need a complete list. I recommend Dash-hole become standard freeper lingo while we're at it.
Unscripted Hillary quotes are hysterical, she's so shallow, unintelligent and completely unconvincing. She has zero impromptu political skills, no one believes a word she says. I wish she would do alot more TV stuff, it's great for our party.
