I'm no Imus fan but he is SLAMMING Matlin RIGHT NOW!

[matcom]

:wow:

he is GRILLING HER! Sorry, just woke up and haven't had coffee yet but just turned him on and he is KILLING HER!

Calling her a liar, the whole Admin liars.

she is fighting him tooth and nail but he is KILLING her!

someone who is more awake pick this up. PLEASE!

[H2O Man]

1. It was great.

He stayed on target. She was gross.

[acmavm]

2. Maybe the lying jackasses will learn not to appear on the air, both in

radio and t.v.

Never mind, I'm awake now. They never learn.

[shaniqua6392]

3. I love how she said...

"Why would anyone intentionally start a war?" What a dumbass. Umm.....cuz they all get rich, rich, rich!!!! And they get to do it without getting a scratch on them because it is the troops that do their dirty work for them.

[H2O Man]

5. It does raise the

question, "Did Bush and Cheney start this war unintentionally?" Of course, she lies about everything, and was even attempting to make it sound like someone else had misrepresented her statement to Libby about Russert hating Matthews .... but, as Imus pointed out, the statement came from Libby's notes from the conversation.

[cboy4]

7. Bingo!!

Carlisle Group, Halliburton, etc.

Oh, it's the money alright.

A third grader could connect the dots.

[SpiralHawk]

21. "Why start a war? Smirk, smirk, sneer, sneer." - Dickie 'Five Deferments" Cheney

"Do the term MASSIVE WAR PROFITS mean anything to you? Smirk, smirk, sneer, sneer.
Oh yeah, too bad about your sons and daughters in uniform.
At least they died for a noble cause: massive republicon war profits.
Smirk, smirk, sneer, sneer."

[originalpckelly]

49. Actually, I'm working the insanity theory...

as in DeadEye was obsessed with Iraq's WMD after '91 when we found out they were a year away from nukes. Of course, if they had listened, they would have learned from the CIA that Saddam really wasn't working on a nuclear weapons program, in the same way he had.

[Me.]

4. Loved It

Wish she'd join Scootie in a jumpsuit.

[C_U_L8R]

6. She didn't speak the truth once

Started off with .. "Plame was not covert"
and just kept going.
Oh yeah,, the admin did not lie about Iraq either.

Imus seems to like toying with her... but c;mon,
why does he let her spew those lies ???

Nuke Saudi Arabia ???? WTF ???

[bklyncowgirl]

8. Sometimes you have to give someone enough rope to hang themselves

Anyone with a halfway functional bullshit detector could tell she was lying through her teeth.

Imus did a pretty good job.

[Sherman A1]

9. Agreed

you absolutely have to let them hang themselves on their own words....

[oasis]

10. Mary's back on the phone accusing Imus of twisting her words in his

interview with WH correspondent Kelly O'Donnell.

[rodeodance]

29. te he. She spins and twists so much it must be a real big knot by now.

[deminks]

11. OMG, She's called back!!!

Talk about giving them enough rope. "If Scooter wrote it down, then I said it." "I'm not contradicting Scooter" She's damned if she does and damned if she doesn't. I love it.

She's just donated to Scooter's fund in Imus' name.

"She wasn't covert" What a liar.

[H2O Man]

12. Outrageous!

Imus is slamming her.

[matcom]

13. she fucking called BACK!

:rofl:

[H2O Man]

14. She dug herself

in deeper. Much deeper.

[matcom]

15. i can tell you ONE thing

I sure as hell am awake NOW! :wow:

[H2O Man]

16. I wonder if

someone told her that she needed to call back and "clarify" her bullshit? It just seemed to strange ....

[matcom]

17. probably Carville

:eyes:

[Skidmore]

26. And some people actually want that dog and pony show AKA

as Carville & Begala back on the stage again. Maybe they can reserve a tapdancing act for Mrs. Cajun when Hillary buys and cajoles her way to the WH.

[deminks]

18. She supposedly was listening to Imus' interview with Kelly O'Whatever

and heard Imus say that Matlin said she didn't say that Russert hates Matthews. She called back to make it clear that she was not contradicting Scooter (and thus making him out to be the liar that he is).

She then proceeded to read the Reich wing talking points in her hand.

I am quite sure that someone called her right away or was with her to tell her that she needed to put Scooter in a better light.

[H2O Man]

19. Right.

She is one of the top dogs in Scooter's legal trust group -- which is a WHIG extension -- and I'm sure that they were hoping she would come across well as part of their public relations. It seems likely that quite a few of them saw the show, and were concerned at how terrible she did.

[underpants]

25. Explanation for her calling back

[Little Wing]

48. No, that's the Paula Abdul defense

:D

[H2O Man]

20. To help expose

a Mary Matalin lie (that Valerie Plame was not covert), DUers can e-mail Imus with the following:

The CIA Leak: Plame Was Still Covert
Newsweek Feb 13, 2006
Michael Isikoff

"But special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald found that Plame had indeed done 'covert work overseas' on counterproliferation matters in the past five years, and the CIA 'was making specific efforts to conceal' her identity, according to newly released portions of a judge's opinion."


Send to:

[e-mail]

[NewJeffCT]

24. Thanks - I will do that

And, it helps that Isikoff is not exactly a radical leftist.

[Sweet Freedom]

31. Do you have the link to this Newsweek article?

I would like to add this to our Debunker group

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topics&forum=284

Thanks!

[H2O Man]

32. Here is the

link that is on the top of my copy, which was printed out back then:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11179719/site/newsweek/

The same information is found in Isikoff & Corn's book "Hubris." The judge's ruling in question should be on Mr. Fitzgerald's web site.

[Sweet Freedom]

35. Thank you /nt

[NewJeffCT]

39. Thanks - email sent

I don't know if it will get through his staff to get on the air - but, if he gets enough, it will.

41. my note to Imus...

IMUS...

Mary Matlin lied on your show ..and it was allowed to stand..at this point in time..after years of this White House and Office of the Vice Presidents lies...is it not time to call these liars on their lies??

The CIA Leak: Plame Was Still Covert
Newsweek Feb 13, 2006
Michael Isikoff

"But special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald found that Plame had indeed done 'covert work overseas' on counterproliferation matters in the past five years, and the CIA 'was making specific efforts to conceal' her identity, according to newly released portions of a judge's opinion."


..and Imus..Valerie was running a huge covert operation "Brewster/Jennings" a covert operation tracking wmd in Iraq and Iran...that the office of the vice president also exposed..god knows how many of her covert operators throughout the world ( double spies) ended up dead or in prisons by third world countries...

Imus, please set the record straight ..on what Mary Matlin lied again about!
Valerie Plame was covert!!

28. Oh darn.....

I missed it. :cry: But thanks for the good play by play.

30. Matalin Comes Undone

great radio. I was listening in my car and for once did not want the traffic to move faster. I wanted to hear everything including Imus's calls with O'Donnell and with Howard Fine. When Matalin called back after Fine's conversation, she was hysterical. Sounded truly crazy.

Can't wait for Crooks and Liars to put up the audio!

[Carni]

33. I watched it and she almost came unhinged LOL

I don't like that old fart IMUS either but he did a pretty good job of letting her make an ass of herself!

[mwb970]

37. It's like Matalin's living on another planet.

How nice that she deigned to visit Earth for a few minutes.

[Carni]

46. Did you catch her remark when IMUS suggested nuking Mecca etc?

She said something to the effect of she couldn't believe he (IMUS) had issues with Cheney, if nuking was his thinking process!

I don't think the woman realized how revealing her blathering was this AM!

[The Backlash Cometh]

34. Let us bow our heads and pray for our lost brother Carville.

If only they had stuck with domestic economy issues.

42. Check out this thread by Rose Siding-this appears to be their policy

it also explains why they called Russert

[TacticalPeek]

43. In her own words, courtesy of Atrios:

Imus Talks to Matalin

A few minutes ago. Imus actually asks a question:


Imus: Did you tell Scooter Libby to call Tim Russert because he hates Chris Matthews?

Matalin: I think I said "Tim hates me." Or "Tim hates..." I hate Matthews. Here's, no let me take you inside the room. When I was at the White House...

Imus: Do you know what you said?

Matalin: I know exactly what I meant then.

Imus: Well what did you say?

Matalin: I don't know why i would have said that but I would have said this. All I know is this: the notes that the prosecutor put up of... a characterization of a conversation .. the prosecutor in that instance and the rest of it mischaracterized what was in my mind. here's what was in my mind. So, here's what I know what was in my mind and here's how it works and here's how I did my job and how all these jobs have to be done.

44. I'm listening to the interview now

[spanone]

47. She is an unbelievable shameless liar. She's on tv defending cheney and...

says she didn't hear Tim Russerts testimony and hadn't read the paper this morning. What a lying bitch.

[Marie26]

53. And she called Imus photogenic!

Shameless liar.

[gordianot]

45. A perfect example of what happens when your very life is based on a lie.

What happened to the good old days when there was a GOP script and they all sounded alike. Are there enough jails for these people?

[seemslikeadream]

50. My kids call me anus in the morning for listening to you

:rofl:

[monmouth]

51. I notice after she told Imus about what her kids said, and he asked her

again if that's what the kids said, he went full throttle. To tell the truth, I was very surprised she even was on the show. Evan Thomas was on the other morning and specifically told Imus he could not, would not discuss anything to do with the trial. I think she asked to be on the show so she could get her points out. God, he did a great job ruining her day.

[JNelson6563]

52. Thank you DUers!

I've been totally occupied today and missed everything going on everywhere. It is great to come into DU and be able to read a play by play on this delightful little debacle.

Fun stuff!
