Tweety hot over Clinton's dealing$ for Dubai-Saudi $$$, but never showed concern for Bush1 dealing$

[blm]

or how they might effect US policy under Clinton in the 90s or under Bush2, did he?


Seems to me Tweety and most all of broadcast newsmedia keeps silent when it comes to Poppy Bush and his cronies and their illegal operations, deals, and favors for foreign scum over the last few decades.

I say open all the books and let the chips fall where they may.

1. More like dealings with the UAE, Dubai is not as rich as Abu Dhabi

[Rosa Luxemburg]

2. Bushes' Saudi friends and their former friend Saddam Hussein

[DJ13]

3. I agree he ignored Bush 1's corruption

But does that mean all possible corruption by a Democrat should be ignored in return?

[blm]

4. Not at all - I want the books opened on ALL of it including Clinton, who was Bush1's top protector

throughout the 90s.

18. Kicking and wishing I can recommend your response.

I have a bad feeling about this whole Bill$ stuff now.

5. I DETEST Tweety!!!!!!!!!!

He's a lisping, sexist, slobbering jerk!!!!! I remember how he pinched Hillary's cheek in NH and after she passed him by he checked her butt. The video is still up on Youtube.

:mad:

9. That is pretty disturbing and unprofessional

[Beacool]

16. Yes, it was.........

He was harassing her and kept trying to get her to bad mouth Obama and she finally had enough and told him that she didn't know what to do with men who were obsessed with her.

20. I do remember he had to apologize for comments that DID

step over the line. The clip actually doesn't really show that. The question of why are you the better candidate, overall or on an issue, is likely the most common question asked in a race. Even a lazy questioner can ask it. At that point, I'm surprised she didn't just give her "set" response that she had often used earlier. (Something like their plans being similar, but she had the experience to actually be able to implement it.)

If anything, HRC was a little over line there in her actions at the end - though I assume they might have been in reaction to things he did earlier not seen. (Her actions are very interesting - it is almost like she took a dominant masculine role at the end - when she accused him of being obsessed with her and in the way she hugged him. She clearly was the one in control there at the end.)

[Beacool]

22. That was just a short segment,

but he kept pressing on just to force her to say something against Obama. He came off like a jerk and the rest of the press were laughing at him. Afterward she went over to tease him, but he still had no business reaching out and touching her cheek. He would have never done that to a male candidate.

BTW, that is not the incident that required his apology. He had to apologize for saying the morning after she won the NH primary that the reason why she was a senator and a presidential candidate was because her husband had "messed around".

Either way, the guy is a sexist creep and a joke.

6. Tweety is a slimeball

he says enough to fool some people into thinking he is a decent pundit, but at his heart he loves to destroy Democrats. Ask Gore, Kerry and Dean.

[rvablue]

7. Yes, the daily Tweety BS is amazing, especially given several vocal supporters on DU

who thought he'd be a good pick to run for the Democratic Senate seat in PA.

He will never relent on the Clintons. He wanted to be Press Secretary and got snubbed.

He will hammer away at Hillary for the next four years (or however long she is SoS). It is a personal vendetta.

[blm]

14. I think he should be hard on Clintons and Bushes, especially since their deals have much in common.

Clinton didn't just start carrying water for Dubai-Saudi royals on his own....Poppy Bush and Jackson Stephens groomed him for it.

[rvablue]

17. And what's your explanation for how hard he was on Gore, Kerry and Dean who

he skewered nightly in 2000 and 2004 by echoing RW talking points.

I think he should be hard on Bush, too, but he voted for Bush in 2000, he admitted as much on his own show.

[blm]

19. He was a jackass with Gore, Kerry and Dean. I'm saying Poppy Bush's dealings are

even more numerous and even more complicit than Clinton's dealings and Tweety never said a word about how they would effect Bush2's administration.

Gore. Kerry and Dean were never watercarriers for Dubai and Saudi royals like Bush and Clinton.

8. In fairness, we KNOW more about those contributions now

than we knew of Bush 1 's. I think very few people, likely including much of the media, who understood anything about BCCI or Carlyle group etc. The answer is your last sentence -

Did you see this?

"Douglas Frantz, a former managing editor of the Los Angeles Times, has been chosen to be chief investigator for the Senate Foreign Relations Committee as it reorganizes under its new chairman, Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.)."
http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-frantz8-2009jan08,0,3263189.story

(Now Newsweek found he was one of the many reporters who wrote on Troopergate - but he did far more work on BCCI - even writing a book. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Full-Service-Bank-Billions-Around/dp/0671729128/ref=sr_1_1/279-5006624-0223660?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1231885856&sr=1-1

[blm]

10. I posted a thread about Frantz over the weekend. Typical Newsweek, eh. BCCI just never happened.

Typical of all MSM, actually.

[karynnj]

13. I missed it -

:(

[blm]

15. kicked it for you....it's a good thread....very positive with many hopeful sentiments.

.

[karynnj]

21. Thanks - it is a very good thread and had a huge amount of information

I was surprised to see that he and his wife also wrote a book on A.Q. Khan. He does seem to be a great choice for investigator. I may buy the books - as this has to, in an oblique way mean Kerry thinks he did a good job filtering out what was truth. Given Kerry's own involvement in untangling these things that means something.

[blm]

23. But NO reporter or lawmaker has ever gotten ALL the dots connected because of the stonewalling

that remains to this day. I believe the best chance this nation ever had at the FULL truth and reversing what the fascists did/do around the world was having Kerry, a TRUE open government lawmaker, in the WH with all the powers and access to documents the public needs on the whole sordid mess created by the fascists.

11. If a Dem brought it up during Barbara Bush SoS confirmation hearings, Matthews would do the same.

:shrug:

[blm]

12. He never brought it up whenever Bush2 made a move, like the Dubai Ports Deal - that should

have peaked some concern for what the hell both Bush and Clinton have been up to the last 20 years.
