I saw JoeHole this morning pushing his BS and NOT ONE Dem got up afterwards to challenge this evil man and his pious bloviating on the Iraq war…

SHAME ON THE DEMS TO PUT UP WITH THIS DIMWIT!

The only person I have witnessed challenge Liarman to his face his Senator Chuck Hagel (several times) Hagel has even been brave enough to bring up the lopsided policies in the Israeli Palestinian conflict.

I really would love to see the blogosphere use more on-camera VIDEO in their blog postings — since TV is the language of Mainstream America.

Firedoglake really is the groundbreaker here — with the video standup pieces (done with PoliticsTV) throughout the Libby trial featuring Jane, Christy, Marcy, Jeralyn, Swopa. These were outstanding — and seemed to prompt the move inot video by Josh Marshall.

I would love to see Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi hold a press conference where they read these quotes aloud, the whole list. In fact, seriously, WHY NOT JUST THAT???? Atrios did the work for you Madame Speaker and Mr. Majority Leader. Please put that work on the public airwaves! That will help fulfill the agenda above from Gen.
