koppel giving fema guy hell on nightline...watch!

[linazelle]

[NWHarkness]

1. "Don't you watch television or listen to the radio?"

That was great.

Good job Ted.

Now, he's calling bullshit on the "we didn't know it could happen" crap.

[joanne]

4. How can Brown be directing anything?

He is spending all his time giving interviews.

[Bumblebee]

46. Probably gave lots of money to Bush-Cheney -- but, being a moron,

he represents the administration quite well. Too bad for all of us that he happened to have bought himself such a consequential position

[Teaser]

2. Fucking asshole.

Put his head on a spike.

[GreenPartyVoter]

6. Amen!

Would Jesus love a liberal? You bet!

[Straight Shooter]

35. "Head on a spike." Where's Vlad the Impaler when you need him, anyway?

[greblc]

47. Drop him in the thick of New Orleans...

And let the folks know who he is.

[nonconformist]

3. Give Bahgdad Brown hell, Ted!

[preciousdove]

5. Why, why we just heard about the conv ctr today...that's the ticket n/t

[joanne]

8. Asking why they didnt have NG there to get people out

who have no means of getting them out.

"Ted, we are doing all that now"

[nonconformist]

7. Holy shit he's slamming him

[Teaser]

9. FEMA guy about to cry.

Good.

Hurt him more Ted. Hurt him more.

[charlie]

10. Aiyiyi

He's hanging it allll on Brown's neck.

[linazelle]

11. the fucker is about to faint...what a piece of shit. He's repeating

himself now.

[joanne]

14. Any bets he does no more interviews after tonight?

[Teaser]

15. FEMA guy still doesn't know about Conv. Ctr.

What a shit.

Fuck you. Fuck you. Die. Fuck off and die.

[Teaser]

19. mispost -delete

.

[NYC Liberal]

12. Ted: Why didn't you get BUSES to get people OUT??

Brown: We DID do that Ted.


This guy is a worse of a liar than Bush!

[incapsulated]

13. Git 'em, Ted!

:spank:

[Cleita]

16. He lets him talk, but he isn't giving him a bye.

That Brown guy is a stupid jerk, he doesn't even get his places right.

[linazelle]

26. He doesn't want to get his places right...sort of like the Iraq/Al Qaeda

thing...know what I'm sayin'?

[I_Make_Mistakes]

27. Ted was Brilliant!

There were so many bombs coming his way the FEMA guy (Brown) could just repeat the same BS.

For those in other time zones this is must see, tv!

Tomorrow Vargas is doing a survivor special on 20/20. She also did a slap down on the admin last night. I think ABC News has had enough and aren't going take it anymore.

edit for clarity.

[Be Brave]

17. If I were a bumbling incompetent idiot, I wouldn't want to go on

Koppel's show. Brown apparently doesn't watch Nightline.

[linazelle]

20. Obvious that Bush picks clones like himself for his cabinet jobs. nt

[NYC Liberal]

18. Brown: People in convention center are being fed

Ted: NO THEY ARE NOT!

Brown: Superdome, I mean the Superdome

Ted: But they WENT TO THE CONVENTION CENTER because YOU told them they'd be taken care of THERE!

[joanne]

25. But then he replied he doesnt know who told them that

Pass the buck time AGAIN!!!

[Digit]

40. Yeah right, like 20,000 people misunderstood

I know my neighbors could hear me screaming at the TV...
no wonder they don't speak with me...they are repubes afterall.
Ted did an excellent job.

[nonconformist]

21. I hope someone got a clip of that!

I wish I had the resources to do so.

Crooks and Liars in a bit, perhaps?

[Broken_Hero]

22. yeah, i can't believe it, i'm seeing it right now...

i just message a friend about Koppel, i'm surprised this old man can even tie his shoes, but damn, at least he is asking some hard questions...especially the evacuation process, good job....

[Maru Kitteh]

29. That "old man" has a wealth and lifetime of experience - he deserves

better than what you just gave him. :spank:

[Bumblebee]

48. and, for goodness sake, he is not that old! Shame on you! :)

[Be Brave]

34. You obviously do not know about Ted Koppel. n/t

[Teaser]

23. "My heart goes out to those people"

When this is done, I hope "those people" get to tear that heart from your chest.

[MissMarple]

24. Will anyone be able to have a video link to this? Please.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

28. Koppell did a good job exposing the 'chose to stay' talking point.

"What about the people who are dirt poor, who have no cars, who are in the hospital?" (that's approximately what he said).

A "huminahuminahumina" moment for Brown.

[RSchewe]

30. If only the media would always do their job, these liars would all be kept

in check. This Brown character has been lying his ass off all day. Finally someone took him to task. Funny how his tone changed at the end. No more Mr. Tough Guy.

[alcibiades_mystery]

31. Koppel destroyed the "I'm surprised so many decided to stay" bullshit

Koppel: I'm not surprised. You have 100,000 people in New Orleans who are dirt poor, and if you don't provide them with a way to get out, simply suggesting they leave is useless.

Brown: Well, the city of New Orleans didn't provide those things

Koppel: I'm not talking about the city. Why didn't YOU do it? Why didn't you get every available military truck? Flatbeds? Why didn't you commandeer every Greyhound in a four state area? I'm talking about you!

Brown dodges with some non sequitor about getting aid in when rescuers are in danger, when ofr course that has nothing to do with pre-storm evacuation.

[Beausoir]

32. Brown was literally blanched by the end of the interview.

Koppel did spend too much time apologizing to Brown for the rough going-over, but all in all...it's about fucking TIME the questions are getting posed.

[Javaman]

45. Koppel can apoligize all he wants, he knows he did damage. :)

this is the best form of insult. Tear the guy a new asshole then say, I'm sorry I made you shit your pants LOL

It's the best back handed apology in the business.

[Bush_Sucks]

33. Do you think Crooks and Liars will post it?

I hope they do. I missed it.

[RSchewe]

36. Request it, he got an e-mail, hopefully he can get a copy of the show n/t

[charlie]

37. I'm certain they will

That was a keeper, one for the books. Ted spanked that poor fool.

[I_Make_Mistakes]

38. If not maybe someone from the West coast could grab it?

I would really enjoy seeing it again too!

[Skwmom]

39. Does anyone know when this will repeat? n/m

[dweller]

41. we're on tape delay

so i just finished watching it. It was gooooooooood.

although with reading some of the threads before, i was hoping he was angry, shouting, toupee-spinning, giving hell.


but it was worth it.
dp

[Glenda]

42. Yeah, I'm seeing it just now too

I did like the way Ted said something like "sorry I'm beating up on you but you are the only one from the federal govt who is in the limelight"

In other words, where are the supposed leaders of this country?

[I_Make_Mistakes]

43. Ted doesn't do total outrage, it would just fuel the RW deniers.

A thought just occurred to me. Maybe we should inform Brown how long people can live without food and water, because he apparently has no f'ing clue about anything.

They are so busy trying to co-ordinate things, by the time they get their charts and Powerpoints completed, everyone will be dead. Then they can show us how good their plans were.

[BrotherBuzz]

44. Hoot! Thanks for the west coast heads up!

My two CBS affiliates, San Francisco and Sacramento, schedule Nightline at 11:30 pm.

[Bumblebee]

49. Same in Seattle -- 11:35 usually

[Bumblebee]

50. And it's ABC, not CBS
