60 Mins coming on: Valerie Plame speaks

[CatWoman]

should be good......

[Bolo Boffin]

1. The previews have been excellent.

It's clear that Plame was working to keep Iran from getting nuclear weapons, and the Bush Administration (or should that be the Cheney Adminstration?) completely kneecapped this option by burning her.

No war with Iran.

[Faygo Kid]

2. Disappointed that she wasn't first story up.

I wonder why they put her last? Anyway, looking forward to it.

[TahitiNut]

3. Just tuned in... did I miss it??

[CatWoman]

4. nope

looks like she's the last story

:hi:

[Wcross]

5. I liked what I saw about saving the kids in Niger.

I hated seeing the little girl who died two hours after she appeared on film. I am not sure how they spelled the product but three cheers for "fluffynut" or whatever the heck its called. No kid should die of malnutrition, its great they have found an inexpensive food product that the kids love and saves lives.

[CatWoman]

7. that's a very heartwarming story

:loveya:

[karlrschneider]

17. I'm all for saving kids, but why the hell should we devote resources to people who

have an average of 8 kids? (Said almost every female was a mother by age 16...that's fucking disgusting.)

[mudesi]

20. They are not a developed country

They are not educated, either. (That was mentioned in the story as well, as I recall).

You can't fault them for that birth rate.

[CatWoman]

31. not as disgusting as your low blow

[TahitiNut]

39. So, it's the KIDS' fault for crawling out of the womb??

The most underdeveloped countyr on the planet with one of the hiighest rates of illiteracy and they use the "social security system" of that level of development.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

41. To eliminate human suffering?

Two words: "Birth control" (not just Africa, but across the planet...).

[Olney Blue]

21. It's called PlumpyNut- it's an enriched peanut butter paste.

[Wcross]

44. Thanks!

I thought it was interesting that they aren't concerned with food allergies, said it wasn't common as it is here in the United States.
I guess I had "fluffy" on the brain- I am getting old!

[Olney Blue]

46. Yes, that was very interesting! No peanut allergies in developing countries.

[bdamomma]

50. and more kids would be living if more countries produced it or

gave money for Plumpy Nut, Drs. Without Borders, what a great agency.

[Olney Blue]

52. I agree. Doctors without Border is amazing.

[babylonsister]

6. This is pissing me off all over again! nt

[w8liftinglady]

12. ok-fuck them-i tried to stand up for katie.she is a patsy.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

8. Two segments, completely different, connected to Niger. This segment on

plumpy nut seems great. I just hope that they won't find something wrong with it later on.

[spanone]

9. katie calls valerie a partisan....pffffft

i'm impressed with valerie. she won't take the bait.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

10. Valerie Plame up next! eom

[WorseBeforeBetter]

11. Wilson just nailed Couric.

Yes, Katie, he's "seething" and has every right to be. God almighty, I can't stand that woman.

[valerief]

15. I'll bet she thinks that's her "gotcha" moment. nt

[WorseBeforeBetter]

18. She's f-in delusional if she thinks that.

Hard-hitting reporting, Katie: "Well, I'm pretty sure they're not in the CIA...". Lightweight!

[rusty charly]

38. And what was Couric saying with that?

Because Plame was a spy, in actuality, it was OK to do it?

[WorseBeforeBetter]

43. Exactly - what WAS her reasoning?

If you could call it that... You'd think that with Poppy heading the CIA at one point, Dubya would have a little more respect for the agency (ha ha ... what a Pollyana!).

I can't wait to hear Larry Johnson's thoughts on this interview ... would be nice if he's a guest on KO tomorrow night.

[spanone]

13. 'the president is not a man of his word' go val

[bdamomma]

53. just imagine if she called him liar!

but all roads lead to Dick huh?

[valerief]

14. Idiot Couric said mOmentos. Idiot. nt

[peacetalksforall]

16. I am so disgusted by Katie Couric that I can barely watch this.

What a shrew. She was close to the bottom of my ratings of 'journalists'. After this - I can no longer bother to listen to her.

[TahitiNut]

23. The "B-roll" is so contrived it's nauseating.

It looks like a Disney farce.

[City Lights]

19. Excellent interview, although Katie SUCKED!

Ugh, she turns my stomach.

[Glimmer of Hope]

26. Yes - I enjoyed it despite Katie.

[Postman]

22. I wish Joe Wilson would've slapped that p.o.s . upside the head...

Katie Couric - do you know how stupid you look to people who know better?

[rusty charly]

24. 16 words

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EmK7T9YTsE

[rusty charly]

25. is couric such a

plain jane next to valerie?

[rusty charly]

27. When did Jaguar start being pronounced

""Jag-Wire"?

[TahitiNut]

32. It's supposed to be "Jag-yu-wahr"

True.

[TahitiNut]

28. (Sheesus!) Katie wants to make a big deal out of the Vanity Fair photo ...

... as though Plame is at fault for her own outing. Unfuckingreal. :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr:

[rusty charly]

30. That's 'their' angle

and Katie's happy to push it.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

54. And Valerie showed class and maturity by saying that her boss...

ripped her a new one (so to speak...) and that she deserved it. You'd NEVER hear one of the wingnuts admitting a mistake and accepting responsibility. At least sincerely, that is.

I wonder if any opinions have been changed with this interview. In lesser developed wingnut brains, Vanity Fair/"Greta Garbo" will always trump the outing of a CIA operative. It's those "in the middle" I wonder about.

[CatWoman]

29. Katie Couric is a swarmy, stupid, evil bitch

there, I've said it!!

[TahitiNut]

33. Dumb as a box of rocks ... a tool AND a fool.

:puke:

[Faygo Kid]

48. Remember her interview with John and Elizabeth Edwards?

More crap. "Well, SOME people say. . .", then she uses that as a crutch to get to her unsubstantiated smears. She is pathetic. Awful.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

55. She needs to stick to virtual colonoscopies...

and leave the "national security" reporting to the professionals. And to think Lara Logan could have conducted this interview...

[Botany]

34. Way not to cover the big story

Val Plame was trying to stop Iran from getting nukes.

[rusty charly]

35. Another pet peeve:

This network news habit lately of: "If you'd like to know the whole story: log on to our website"

Hey, 60 minutes! I'm watching your show now! Give me the whole story now! What if I don't have a computer?

[Botany]

40. Oh that little Val Plame was trying to stop Iran from getting WMDs story

Katie tried to "sand bag" Plame & Wilson.

[graywarrior]

36. Of all the "journalists" in the world, they picked Gidget to interview Valerie?

[w8liftinglady]

37. I know..I tried to support Katie.She's sold her soul

[graywarrior]

42. She's lost....her soul out there with black stains all over it.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

45. It was like watching a Valley Girl. Geeze. nt

[graywarrior]

51. A Valley Girl possessed by a she-devil.

She looked kinda rough.

[bdamomma]

47. they should have had Lara Logan interview Valerie.

[Faygo Kid]

49. Lara Logan is a real journalist.

I admire her greatly. Katie should have stayed on Today.

[bdamomma]

56. Today was more of Katie's speed, plus Katie should not talk

about being a celebrity to Valerie, Katie sucks up trying to act like a celebrity.
