Robert Novak on CNN: "When you have a billion dollars in your pocket...
...you tend to be a little arrogant."

Just now (4:50 PM Pacific time)...speaking of Teresa Heinz Kerry.

He also said "She's out of control...I think it's a real problem." Claimed that Democrats he's spoken to are "worried to death" that she's going to be "a real train wreck."

This is simply another Rethug "talking point" being floated.
But the Dems are so weak-kneed that they don't have a comeback. I wish Al Sharpton were around to respond to these jerks.

22. If he thinks Teresa's out of control,
what is his opinion of Cheney?

2. She's "out of control". However, the Vice President telling a
Senator to go fuck himself on the floor of the Senate is just a man expressing some anger.

4. Good gosh. So she tells a reporter she doesn't like to shove...
...off. Yeah, she probably should have used more restraint but I am fairly certain most Americans will find the incident to be anything from mildly amusing to outright hilarious.

5. I'm beginning to think
that Novack is jealous and resentful of THK having money. Class warfare from Novack!!

7. He's just doing his job, spinning away like a top
and pretending he's a journalist.

18. Exactly. CNN also played a great Hillary soundbite this morning..
They were apparently trying to talk to her about Bush while she was in transit. She had a nice big smile on her face and said "I can't WAIT until they're out of the White House" and walked away. It was inspirational. Utter, jubilant contempt for the Boy King and his entourage.

Teresa is strong, she doesn't take shit, and she will remove that bitter aftertaste known as "Pickles Bush" from the collective consciousness forever.

Mrs. "T"...I PITY the fool who steps up for a piece of Ms. Heinz Kerry.

:toast:

11. When you have a multi billion dollar
RW media machine behind you, and an administration covering your ass to keep you out of jail for treason, you tend to be a little arrogant-

uhhuh

12. See Novak spin. Spin, spin, spin.
He's worried about Teresa's outburst today, while he spilled the beans on an undercover agent and puts her life, her work and who knows what part of our national security in jeopardy.

Ain't hypocrisy grand?

My recommendation is to prescribe Mr. Novak a barbed wire suppository.

17. I want a SHOVE IT! button. Badly.
I want them to know that we are going to be ashamed of nothing. We are not the skittering little mice who let them steal a government. We are proud of our strong women and heroic men.

No more Mr. Nice Dem.

19. Should be the rallying cry for this election.
4 more years of Bush/Cheney? Shove it.

And if a treasonous RW enabler doesn't like what Theresa said, than she must have said something honest.

20. Right. While White House Operatives Outing CIA Agents...
...is just the epitome of not only control, but good tatse as well.
