As I was driving to work this morning, between the Young Turks segments, I switched my XM Radio over to CNN's American Morning and heard the following exchange between anchor Kiren Chetry and CNN Justice Correspondent Kelli Arena...
CHETRY: All right. So, bottom line today, what does Gonzales have to do to keep his job?
ARENA: Answer more questions than he did last time probably. You know, I mean, the Democrats were complaining when he showed up before the Senate that he said, "No," "I don't know," "I don't recall," "I don't remember" close to 70 times.
You know, this all come downs to whether or not he can maintain the support of the president. And so far, the president has said, this is my guy, he's staying in. He's not going anywhere.
If there is a revelation that is serious enough that emerges from this continuing investigation, then he may have an issue to deal with. The president may very well have to say, OK, you know what? This is really getting out of control, you have got to go.
But for right now, you know, the hope is that he goes there today, he is cooperative. He keeps insisting that he has nothing to hide, that he wants to answer as many questions as he can. If he doesn't remember, he just doesn't remember -- and then hope that this all dies down and the Democrats move on to something else.
CHETRY: Kelli Arena, you're right, I hope they move on to something else.
Could there be any clearer evidence that CNN is becoming Fox Noise?
Oh, but wait! Check out the transcript...
CHETRY: Kelli Arena, you're right, they hope they move on to something else.
Did I hear it wrong? Or did CNN do a FOX and then try to cover it up? Did anyone TiVo? If I got this wrong, let me know and I will delete the diary.
CNN seems to have a weird attitude about this fired US Attorneys story. Here's CNN's Archie Bunker commenting on "subpoenas that would force chief policy adviser Karl Rove, former White House counsel Harriet Miers and other top presidential aides to testify publicly and under oath about their involvement in the (US Attorney) firings"...
Dobbs: 'Showdown' really a battle of partisan buffoons
This is the same Democratic-controlled Congress that millions of voters thought would be so vastly different from the last gaggle of partisan buffoons in the Republican-led 109th Congress. With almost 30,000 young Americans killed or wounded in Iraq, with a half-trillion dollars spent on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, this Congress can do no better than publicly fulminate in futility and bray endlessly without effect on the course and conduct of the war in Iraq. Is there no sense of proportion and higher purpose anywhere in Washington?
If Ted Turner were dead, he would be spinning in his grave.
