James Baker on Fareed Zakaria's show

[Beaverhausen]

WTF??? Could he be any more irrelevant? Why is he on there?

[eleny]

1. Catapulting the propaganda

[Beaverhausen]

3. I am so sick of repukes catapulting the line that it's the democrats who grow government...

...and rack up the huge deficits. Why oh why does the media let them get away with it?

[eleny]

4. Zakaria didn't just let him get away with it

He called out the Republicans failure to back up their assertions with votes on spending cuts.

I haven't watched the entire interview but I did hear that.

2. Zakaria was right on at the beginning

talking about how people want tax cuts but not spending cuts -- at least not for their programs/priorities.

5. You beat me to the punch..

They are dragging out all of the old reaganites and are trying to sell the old reagan policies. We don't want that shit we ain't buying it. These old bastards are living in the past!

6. who's paying him these days?

:puke:

[Atticus]

7. Well, isn't it obvious why he is "on there"?

He has been a very effective "operative", having been instrumental in closing the deal on the 2000 "selection" of W. In the 8 years of official "looking the other way" by the Bush thugs, Corporate America transferred gazillions of dollar from middle-class America to their shareholders and executives, AKA, "Bush's Base". GE, one of the largest defense contractors benefitting from Dim Son's clueless and amoral foreign policy, "coincidentally", owns NBC, the network broadcasting Meet The Press.

He may be irrelevant and stale and scaly, but, they owed him this. It's that simple.

8. "I'm a realist because I'm a politician."

:wtf:

9. I was surprised that he thought the military option for Iran was not a good way to go.

Shocked the hell out of me really. Everything else he said was trash.

[shraby]

10. I think James Baker is the sleaziest person

existing on the planet. Bar none. He's vile.
