Anyone noticed the Live with Dan Abrams show has been bordering on brilliant lately?

[NNN0LHI]

I used to think he was a conservative Republican. I don't think that any more. I have gained a lot of respect for Mr. Abrams recently.

His show on torture tonight was excellent.

1. He was awesome!

Totally shut down that RW asshole about waterboarding.
I love it! :toast:

[peacebird]

2. he has been a pleasant surprise recently!

:toast:

3. He certainly did used to be a tool but

I think that, as News Manager for MSNBC, he's decided to extend the "edge" provided MSNBC by Keith Olbermann.

4. I am willing to extend the benefit of the doubt.. . . .

Perhaps, just perhaps, what he learned from the work that Keith O. has been doing, the solid journalism, has influenced both his methods and his perspective. I choose to believe that he's discovered his better self, rather than just a ratings boost, until I am given evidence to the contrary.

5. He probably found out he wouldnt lose his job by being himself. n/t

6. maybe Dan's been spending more time with his Dad.

8. Thank you!

I did not know the boy's pedigree! We may be seeing the guy inside who's been fighting to get out all this time.

7. I'm still pissed about his Schuster slap down, but his

blatant disdain for Cliff May is helping me get over that.

[ruggerson]

9. Since his dad

is the most prominent First Amendment attorney in the US and he grew up in suburban NY, went to Columbia Law, etc, the odds are he ain't a conservative.

10. Floyd got "Fox news literally laughed out of court" when he represented Al Franken

Lies is a hilarious book btw.

[Disturbed]

11. I suspect that Abrahms is a Moderate Conservative.

He seems real. He is an Attorney that believes in the US Constitution.

[AlCzervik]

12. Floyd or Dan?

[Atman]

13. Except for the Casino implosion part.

He's kinda embarrassed himself on that one.

And you know...I was just looking at the tape again...I swear I saw a plane hit the side of the building!

:hi:

14. waterboarding looked like torture to me.

and how would you define torture

isn't it cruel and inhuman treatment of a human being resulting in pain and or death, that is my own definition.

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

15. I haven't noticed as I never watch. nt.

[Coexist]

16. he has been doing well, but on terror issues, he is a real scaredy-pants.

I mean, really, really shaking in his boots.

[Disturbed]

17. Torture is inflicting physical &/or mental pain &/or suffering on

a human being &/or non-human being. Water boarding is Torture. Anyone that claims that it is not needs to experience it then define it. For the AG candidate refusing to answer whether it is or not should disqualify him for the AG position.
