Meredith Viera is actually making DeLay squirm on the Today Show |
|
Edited on Tue Mar-20-07 06:15 AM by qanda
Called him on saying that those who want to set a date on withdrawing troops from Iraq were aiding and abetting the enemy. Asked him if 59% of the American poplulation were aiding and abetting the enemy since that's the number of people who want the troops out of Iraq by the end of 2008. Good stuff. Try to catch it if you can.

2. That comes from inhaling too many pesticides |
|
instead of using proper safety equipment--he became the cockroach he thought he was exterminating.

21. He said something like I didn't know you spoke for the American people |
|
She said something like I'm speaking for the poll (referring to the poll about 59% wanting the withdrawal of the troops).

12. She only mentioned two of his aides were convicted in dealing with Abramoff. **AND**... |
|
She left DeLay off the hook a little.
She said he was indicted and resigned from office in light of campaign finance laws and that the House Ethics Committee reprimanded him a few times. DeLay responded he disagreed with that. She asked him what part. He replied he was never convicted (which is NOT what Meredith said) and that the House Ethics Committee never found he had done wrong.
She let that statement slide!!
But, what gets me is why is this indicted criminal being paraded all over the M$M!??! He was on Meet The Press yesterday looking like a complete and utter fucking moran for trying to defend The Surge. He was a giant ridiculous talking point and hardly anyone was calling him on it. I know he's pushing a book which must be being published with some funding from NBC or something....

11. I Think It's Time To Start Writing NBC To Tell Them To Keep Criminals Off The Air...... |
|
first Meet The Press and now the Today Show. When is he going to show up on Leno?
Why do they keep giving this guy legitimacy?
Time for a boycott of NBC and their advertisers.

13. The fucker's got a book out, so he's... |
|
making the rounds.
Was on NPR's Morning Edition, too. A lot of tough questions that he bullshitted his way through.
"Bullshitting" is the wrong word-- scary thing about people like DeLay is that he is absolutely convinced he is right and ruthless in getting his way.

16. Her body language was really interesting |
|
She was leaning back in her chair, as far away from Delay as she could get and still stay in frame. She seemed very uncomfortable with talking to the little weasel.
