CNN Late Editon to cover Sheehan protest

[Armstead]

Don't know what Wolfie will do, but it was announced in show opener.

[Armstead]

1. kick for s heads up

Wolfie opening with Russian sub, so not on yet

[eleny]

2. And he'll speak with Barbara Boxer, too

Of course there's a Republican also "for balance". I hope he goes back to this story right after the sub rescue.

[Greeby]

3. Not just a Repub

George Allen :puke:

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

4. They had a piece on her yesterday afternoon, and then had on a Marine

mom who started some sort of support the troops website. Towards the end of her interview she welcomed Gold Star Families to post there.

[Armstead]

5. Allen vs. Boxer coming up after the break

[Armstead]

6. On now

[Greeby]

7. Pfft

Allen has the Repuke talking points down pat :eyes:

[Armstead]

9. Boxer

Bush not credible. "They have no plan."

Outlines her suggestion. "We need a mission that needs to be accomplshed now."

[Armstead]

10. Boxer: "Not just us. Iraqis have to step up."

"Prime minister of Iraq is very lackadaisical about their own security."

[Cleita]

8. How about the protest march that happened in the same city

their headquarters are located in? Surely couldn't they report an equally important event that occurred yesterday under their noses? It wasn't as if it was a small turn out and it did include many high profile public personalities, yet as far as CNN is concerned, it could have happened on Mars.

But I guess the fact that they are even mentioning the Cindy Sheehan protest could be a start, but I'm not holding my breathe for any extensive coverage of anything that makes Bush look like the mean SOB that he is.

[eleny]

11. Allen says Bush should meet with Sheehan

edit: Allen: He should do it out of courtesy and decency.

[FreedomAngel82]

22. He won't

Bush won't care. If he does it'll be lipservice for a photo-op.

[eleny]

24. But Allen is breaking ranks with Bush

That's also a story here. Breaking ranks is not allowed, remember?

[AnnInLa]

30. Allen planning a repuke run for Pres

and flowing with the tide

[eleny]

34. Like Frist and stem cell research

[jane_pippin]

12. Was that it?!

2 seconds of video in the middle of the Boxer segment? BOO!

Edit: whew. Nevermind, Wolf just said she gets her own segment coming up.

[Armstead]

14. Blitzer said she would be interviewed later in show

[Armstead]

13. Boxer mentiones Sheehan

"Echoes of Vietnam"

Now playing quotes from her asking what "noble cause" is?

Allen:The president should meet with her....Followed by sanctimonious blather.

[eleny]

16. Sanctimonious yes, but...

Allen urging Bush to invite Sheehan to the ranch to talk is Allen breaking ranks.

[Armstead]

18. True

He said it would be comnmon courteszy for Bush to meet with her in private.

Bush seems to believe it's common courtesy to cut brush and pretend she's not there.

[NewJeffCT]

21. she's one of the "little people". though

It wouldn't be right for her to be able to rub elbows with blue blood Bush.

[eleny]

25. And "decency", too

So, is that saying the prez is "indecent"? I bet Bush is pretty pissed with Allen right now.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

20. I know, but in spite of the sanctimonious sh**, at least he recognized

that a mother who madke the "ultimate sacrifice" should be given the respect of a direct discussion.
MKj

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

29. blech, he just spewed the "fight them over there" BS...

OK, I am not giving him any further slivers of benefit of the doubt. MKJ
:puke:

[eleny]

35. I know what you mean

But Bush not having support from his own is delicious.

[shadowknows69]

15. Boxer kicking ass right now

I love this woman. She must be our Pres someday.

[spanone]

17. Blitzer said he will be talking to 'that woman'. Sheehan.

[FreedomAngel82]

19. Yay for Cindy Sheehan!

It'll be interesting to see what type of coverage she gets.

[Armstead]

23. I have a crush on Lindsey Wagner

This is totally irrelevant, but they're showing her on a Sleepmaster commercial.

I've always had a big crush on her. She deserves better than peddling mattresses for a living.

[tibbiit]

26. You know the very idea that

Anyone would cut brush in the middle of texas, during the middle of august is downright nuts. Anyone who has ever lived in summer texas heat knows you dont leave aircon during the day for anything.
Plus, we are supposed to believe that a rich white man would actually do yard work in that texas heat.... ridiculos!

That right there shows bush is a liar.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

31. I love Boxer's "anyone with a pulse can see that" regarding the Iraq

debacle. MKJ

[Greeby]

36. "Anyone with a pulse can see that"?

Well, thats Cheney out of it then ;)

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

37. LOL, a pulse would require a functional heart...n/t

MKJ

[eleny]

27. Aw, Allen has to answer about all those polls

Poor baby. What a jackass.

[Armstead]

28. Bush reads release that Bush has already met with Sheehan

earlier as a group of mothers.

[eleny]

32. And you know what Cindy Sheehan said about that meeting

That words were coming out of Bush's mouth but there was nothing in his eyes.

[leftchick]

33. fuck allen and fuck leslie blitzer!!

why the hell is he giving that moran allen so fucking long to spew the RNC talking points. :banghead:
