Katrina vanden Heuvel seems like a big threat to Cokie Roberts
Edited on Sun Feb-19-06 09:59 AM by zulchzulu
Katrina vanden Heuvel (The Nation editor) is doing a fantastic job on This Week with George Stephanopoulos with Cokie Roberts and George Will. It is a must-see and hopefully will be on C&L.

Cokie appears to be fully threatened by Katrina and tries to talk down to her on a couple occasions. She so desperately wants her fellow Bush shill to gang up on this...this....bitch! How dare she speak ill of King George! Certainly, this Cheney story is not indicative of the Administration! How dare she!

On edit:

George Will asked her if she still has a Kerry-Edwards sticker on her car...and that's a sure sign of anger....what a lout.

A MP3 podcast will be available later:

1. Cool. I didn't know she was going to be on.
Now I know what I'll be watching - thanks! And anyone who gives Cokie a comeuppance is allright by me!

3. Whoa
talking "down" to KvH will get you a new one in short order. Formidable lady, that one. I do wonder if she ever has any fun. She seems to feel the burden of the world.

6. Katrina was clearly outraged at the others...who do the usual garbage
Like her, if you're not outraged by this administration...you're either a sheep or you're fast asleep...

4. So let us ask George Will what sticker he had on his car,....
why is it always a one way street with the neocon pundits.

7. poor Cokie
She's such an air head, accentuated even more up next to the brainy Katrina. Imagine someone of her ilk thinking she could talk down to Katrina.

It is, as they say, "to laff!"

10. WTF??? He asked her about a Kerry bumper sticker?????
What's up with George Will? He usually considers himself so high-brow and above it all. I can't believe he felt so threatened that he had to get down and do an O'Reilleyish low blow.

KVH must have been killing them.

11. Katrina was merely getting in some good points...to Cokie's utter horror
It will be a fascinating video to watch once it's online...I'm glad George had her on his show.

13. Katrina vanden Heuvel IS a threat to Cokie Roberts. Every comment
that has come out of Cokie Roberts' mouth for many years -- both on ABC and on NPR -- have been no more than a watered-down & generally Republican synopsis of news wire services' summaries of events.

In other words, if you read the Indianapolis STAR, you know the same thing Cokie Roberts does, only you don't get paid to say it into a microphone.

Katrina vanden Heuvel will probably be swiftboated, or kidnapped or hauled off to Gitmo any day now. She's wildly smart, surgicallly critical of BushCo, and unafraid of just about anything.

15. I caught only a few minutes
but did see George Will's ridiculous question...

funny thing....on NBC they played the David Gregory meltdown with Snotty Scotty....

so the theme is:

Democrats are ANGRY and therefore not credible...

btw: Will said "upper middle class consveratives and...liberals" are all "very content"...the implication is that if you're angry you're a
"fringe liberal" or lunatic...moonbat...

the fax machines must have been working overtime last night...

16. I want to see someone sew Cokie's ass to her face
I'm kicking just so I remember to go back for the mp3. Do I have to have an Ipod, or can I just view it on the website??

19. yeah, that made absolutely no sense in the context of the argument...
"please to explain it!" I hate how George modulates every comment as if he's giving the final version of the truth.

24. Katrina
Also, is it just me or is Katrina a little on the babe-alicious side?

Smart and attractive and respectful of TRUTH.

Some lucky guy out there is gonna have quite a catch with her!

If I said something offensive, I apologize. Hope I haven't wrecked the Dems chances in 08 with these non pc remarks.

uh, yeah, sure, what with female bisexuality being all the rage these days, it would be quite fashionable of you to vote Kristina in as totally babe-alicious.

You'll be the envy of your more timid straight laced peers.

Mark my words.

26. Sorry, Jimmy
She's taken.

From Wikipedia: "A 1981 summa cum laude graduate of Princeton University, vanden Heuvel resides in New York City with her husband, history professor Stephen Cohen and daughter Nika. Her father is diplomat and attorney William vanden Heuvel"

27. More reasons for Cokie to be jealous
Katrina is ivy league, from a prestigious background, and academically accomplished. Coke is just like chimp. Everything was handed to her, but she is dumb, incurious, and lazy.

28. I'm pretty sure any reputable dictionary..
.... would define "presstitute" as "Cokie Roberts".

I've heard her on NPR for a long time, her points are always biased, lame, and she is nothing but a RW noise machine talking-point pull-string doll. Any time she deigns to say anything good about a Dem, it is always a backhanded compliment. I'll have to find that audio, I'm sure I'll enjoy it.

She was one of the first clues that NPR was a lost cause.

31. That was a most impressive show,
the first time, I can remember viewing a real debate on "This Week" with a real democrat! Katrina vanden Heuvel has her act together, I have been thinking about letting her have my baby.:) Please don't spoil it by telling me she is married.

33. George Will asks Katrina if she has a Kerry/Edwards sticker

After Will gets his ass handed to him, he pulls this little tripe out of his ass.
