You look at those talking points and the initial draft by the CIA very explicitly said we know that activists who have ties to Al-Qaeda were involved in the attack. Then you see what comes out a couple of days later and there is no reference to this. This is a business where you have to tell the truth and that did not happen here." 19 May 2013, 11:19 AM PDT Schieffer On IRS Scandal: 'Dumb And Dumber' CBS News' Bob Schieffer took aim at the Obama White House today and their involvement in the IRS scandal. "Welcome to dumb and dumber," Schieffer intoned, as he railed against the administration's contention that no one really knew anything about this or the other scandals until they heard about it on the news. 19 May 2013, 9:16 AM PDT CNN's Cooper 'Marries' SNL's Stefon In Weekend Update Sketch Hader's flamboyant character, Stefon, is a regular on Myers' Weekend Update segment and there has been an ongoing, flirtatious subtext to the segment between the two and that plot line came to full fruition this week as Myers chased after Stefon (in the style of "The Graduate") to interrupt his marriage. As the camera pans to reveal the church setting Stefon's groom is revealed: CNN's newsman Anderson Cooper. 19 May 2013, 9:00 AM PDT Clinton WH Counsel Calls for Obama Counsel to Resign Former White House Counsel during the Clinton Administration, Lanny Davis, is calling for the resignation of Obama White House Counsel Kathryn Ruemmler. "I've no doubt she is an outstanding lawyer. But you've gotta be more than a lawyer in that job, and with all due respect, I think she made the wrong judgment. This is the wrong job for her." 17 May 2013 Geraldo 'Can't Imagine' IRS Henchwoman Was Rewarded for Harassing Conservative Groups "I can’t imagine that she was rewarded for targeting conservative groups by getting that big job, because I think the president is smart enough to know that if you take someone who is wounded in that way, they have this metastasizing disease, this scandal, attached to them, and you give them a big job, it’s not going to protect them." 17 May 2013 Woodward Compares Benghazi To Watergate Bob Woodward appeared on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" this Friday morning and, in stark contrast to his less-concerned Watergate colleague Carl Bernstein, he admonished the show's hosts to "not dismiss Benghazi" and compared the White House's behavior over CIA/State Department talking points with President Nixon's handling of edited transcripts of taped conversations in the oval office. 17 May 2013 MSNBC Analyst: Breitbart Sets GOP Agenda "I think what you're seeing is right wing media, that has taken hold among the base. Whether it's conservative talk radio, whether it's Breitbart.com online, all now fused together as the Republican agenda on Capitol Hill. Right now this is not about legislating anymore, this is about John Boehner, who was seen as an outsider to the tea party movement within the party, now bringing together all the conspiracy theories, all of the fear of the Obama Administration, under one umbrella. So now we see the right wing media agenda, which we used to see as outside the purvue of Washington, brought inside." 17 May 2013 Rubio Blames Obama's 'Culture of Intimidation' for IRS Scandal “This is not in isolation. This is a string of events where you see an administration and federal government under this administration that’s willing to use its power to muscle and to hardball people who don’t agree with them,. And now it appears to include The Associated Press. There’s a problem here. One thing is politics as you’ve outlined and another thing is full time, 24/7, 365-day-a-year political effort where everything is about politics. Everything is about destroying your opponent, and everything is about dividing the American people for your electoral gain.” 16 May 2013 Ari Fleischer: White House Claim Of 'One Word Change' To Talking Points Not True "I look at these emails and I say, 'you know what, that's just simply not true,'" Wilson said, regarding the assertion that only one word was changed in the talking points. "On that issue, I think you're entirely right about that. And, I think the emails show that's right," Fleischer responded. 16 May 2013 'Morning Joe' Worries IRS Scandal Will Lead To 'More Extremist Candidates' "Basically what it is going to do, it’s going to force, in the primaries, to galvanize the Tea Party. You’re going to get more extremist candidates. They’ll lose in general election. Come general election time, if somebody voted against background checks for guns, if somebody is still doing the crazy, crazy, crazy social issues, I disagree with you." 16 May 2013 Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 Next
