3. The MSNBC Anchor that "busted up" Hutchison is the always excellent David Schuster.

[ihavenobias]

5. Well, technically it's Shuster (w/ no c) *and* Tamron Hall.

But that would've made for a Cumbersome title.

;)

PS---In case you missed it w/ Keith Olbermann and a snippet of his appearance (see 7:24 minutes in).

[Grassy Knoll]

4. Same thing with the ball sack lickers (tea baggers)....

No one said a word back then because bush was a good o'll boy redneck repuke,
Not a decent, caring, wonderful man being a fair democrat .

[W T F]

6. If you didn't complain about when a white president did the same exact thing then....

you shouldn't complain now, because people are going to take a look at the skinheads, and then look at you and ask "how come you don't shave your head too?"
:nuke:

7. K&R for some proper ownage (partial transcript from link below)

What was the response on DU like when this happened last year?

Kay Bailey Hutchison just can't understand why anyone would care that she's a big flaming hypocrite with her concern for troop levels in Afghanistan now that a Democrat is the President. When David Shuster asks her why she and other Republicans didn't have anything to say back in 2008 when George Bush refused a troop increase in Afghanistan, Hutchison punts and never answers the question and instead says she doesn’t know why “we’re talking about 2008”. Hutchison gets some help from Tamryn Hall at the end of the segment. She jumped in there instead of allowing David Shuster to follow up and remind her why talking out of both sides of your mouth matters if you expect anyone to believe your concerns are legitimate now.

---- --- ----

Shuster: Senator the complaint from Democrats though is that you're essentially shopping for the right generals and Democrats are pointing out that in September of 2008 when President Bush was in office the top U.S. Commander in Afghanistan at the time Gen. David McKiernan said this about his request for an additional 22,000 troops. "The danger is that we'll be here longer and we'll expend more resources and experience more human suffering than if we had more resources placed against this campaign sooner. The additional military capabilities that have been asked for are needed as quickly as possible"

That request from Gen. McKiernan was not granted until February of this year--was granted by President Obama. So will you acknowledge that Republicans who were speaking out today should have spoken out back at the end of the Bush administration?

Hutchison: Well I'm not sure exactly what your time frame is. I think certainly President Obama took several months to address the issue that Gen. McChrystal had asked for more troops and I think at this point we need to be talking about winning. We need to be talking about what is success. We need to establish that we are going to stop al Qaeda from exporting terrorism. That should be the mission and we should do whatever it takes to win this war on terrorism...(crosstalk)

Shuster: But Senator Republicans weren't saying that when Gen. McKiernan was making the request in the fall of 2008 when President Bush never mind taking three months--he didn't act on the request at all and the Republicans didn't--we've checked your record--can you refresh our recollection as to whether you were complaining about your colleagues and about the Bush administration ignoring Gen. McKiernan back in the fall of 2008?

Huchison: Well actually I ahhh... Sec. Gates was the Secretary then and I know certainly that he is doing everything that he can with the requests that are made for Afghanistan and we've had a ramp up of troop’s strength. We've been trying to allocate recourses away from Iraq and into Afghanistan. I really don't know why we are talking about what has happened in 2008 so much as we ought to be talking about what's happening for the next two years to win this war on terror.

11. What a weak answer.

Well, Kay, we're talking about the fall of 2008 and the general Republican failure to prioritize Afghanistan because the next two years will be a last ditch attempt to remedy your party's colossal fuck-up in that region.

12. Very well put! n/t

8. It's just one republican fool after another these days.

Liars and hypocrites. I'm so sick of their crap. Let's build a wall around the South.

[SacoMaine61]

9. Translation: I am Kay Bailey Hutchinson and I'd prefer that you not

ask me to account for my inaction on an issue that I've ignored for years. I'm here today so that I can bleat negativity about the Democratic president.

[Barack_America]

10. Wow. Now that was an awkward response.

By a partisan hack who was obviously caught off guard by the question.

[stopbush]

13. KBH is one empty suit, isn't she? eom

[Divine Discontent]

14. Ha! Hey Cenk, let's just be honest - they don't support the black man, no matter what he does that

their GOP party was supposedly for the past 6 years, but never really acted upon. My issues with Obama Admin. are policy driven, and on principle, I won't vote for anyone promoting useless warfare - whereas THEIR reasons for constantly attacking Obama are much more obvious and cowardly - they don't like his dark-iness in the White House! I got emails from a repub friend out in Colorado criticizing thing after thing about Obama, and then, a slip up happened, her husband sent me a forward she'd sent to everyone else, BUT me, and it was a birther and very racist sounding rant forward that she knew I wouldn't think was very cool at all...

They don't like to say it, but they don't like him because he's dark-skinned.

[butterfly77]

19. We know..

and now they are trying to pretend and find anything they can to criticize when none of these people said a damn word while bush was f--king it up..

A lot of the commentators and so called reporters feel the same you can see the disgust in their eyes when they talk about him,the stories they report on and especially when they are talking to Gibbs they harp on the most trivial things.

Things they would never ask of Bush or any other former president who happens to be caucasian. They are not fooling anyone. Reporters right off the top who hate his guts are Chip Reid on CBS,Jake Tapper of ABC news,just to name a few.

:rofl:

[Ezlivin]

17. She'll be my next governor!

It's between her and Rick "Good Hair" Perry: Dumb and Dumber.

If Good Hair is elected he'll lead Texas to secede; if KBH is elected she'll keep on whoring for the military-industrial complex.

18. blatherskite

n.

1. A babbling, foolish person.
2. Blather.

(BLATHER + dialectal skite, a contemptible person (from Middle English skite, diarrhea , from Old Norse skītr, excrement , from skīta, to defecate).)

[era veteran]

20. She is a party line hack

ignorant of the situation in Iraq. Did exactly what Mitchie told her. They don't care about our country just the party. It is appalling that she is supposed to have some knowledge of the situation.
