Larry King: Panel to analyze Condi Testimony: Ben Veniste...

[Vadem]

Diane Feinstein, John Warner, Ellen Tauscher, Cong. Shay on CNN, 9:00 DST

[Vadem]

1. Just added Judith Miller...

Miller: Condi had a tough row to hoe today...

[Vadem]

3. Tauscher: Rice served Bush well but didn't serve the country

very well... White House needs to declassify PDB, Rice speech from 9/11;
Bush was in Crawford for all of August--still a lot of mystery as to what this Admin. was doing.

[TacticalPeek]

2. One thing is becoming clear.

Condi's performance laid an egg with much of the mainstream media.

:evilgrin:

[aquart]

8. Why?

[TacticalPeek]

11. Fineman, Miller, a bunch at Newsweek, etc. are all seeing a weak WH case.

Basically, Condi has just confirmed Clarke, aside from a couple of absurd denials that will come to haunt her.

[TacticalPeek]

4. Warner deigns to chide Judith for not cheerleading.

C'mon Judith. After the break, ah . . . pimp-slap him.

[Vadem]

6. Warner is my Senator (along with George Allen)....

:puke:

[Gin]

10. Mine 2...and I'm hanging my head in shame....

gin

[Eurobabe]

13. they both suck

Allen esp., he's a cretin.

[TacticalPeek]

9. Cool.

She tells Warner she wasn't being hard on Condi, just hard on the WH for not releasing docs.

:)

5. I Don't Recall The Al Quaeda Cells as Something We Need To do Something

about. She said that. Cells in the country and it wasn't something for her to do something about...I think that's criminally negligent...

[Vadem]

7. Right! I was wondering, during her testimony, just exactly...

what she did in her job. Didn't sound she did much at all advising Bush on terrorism.

[Vadem]

12. Dick Clarke will refute Condi tonight on Nightline re her ...

statement that he never asked her to brief Bush on terrorism. Her statement is hard for me to believe.

[Vadem]

14. Ben Veniste on now. Speaking on bipartisan nature of

Commission. Haven't had a single partisan vote.

King: Have you seen the PDB of 8/6.

Ben-Veniste: I've seen pieces of what is in it.

He is hopeful of getting it declassified.

[Beetwasher]

15. Ha! LK Says "You're Answering Me Like She Answered You!"

Ha! They get it!

The Clinton review was fantastic...What a marked difference in attitude...

[Vadem]

16. I saw Lehner and Slade Gorton on CNN today praising

Clinton's testimony, that he was very informative, frank, and forthcoming on his successes and failures.

[Oddman]

17. OOOhhh Larry King of the softball?

How exciting!

[Vadem]

18. Caller asking about Bin Ladden's family being allowed to leave..

the country.

[Rockholm]

20. Feinstein knows why they were able to leave the US...

but said it is classified. But she knows who gave the OK...

[TacticalPeek]

19. Thompson is an easier mark for the Big Dog than Newt.

He just practically endorsed him for a third term.
