I get a QuickTime logo with a question mark over it.

I have never commented on your blog, even though I check it out first thing every a.m. Thank you! Thanks for what you add to my day. I don't have cable. In fact, I don't ever watch television, so my Colbert, Stewart, Maher, and Olbermann fixes come from your site. If I didn't see these videos, I would think that our world had no hope. Because I get to see them, I'm not sure that there's hope, but at least I get a chuckle once in awhile and I know I'm not alone.

So many lemmings in that audience willing to defend Rummy, a complete dirtbag.
I don't think our species has long for this world...

Why were people cheering for Rumsfield? He got caught lying.

In any other country, he would be forced to resign and issue a general apology.

Does the issue of accountability seem so foreign?

And how dare he misquote Powell who stated that he was not comfortable with several so-called claims in his UN presentation, that he had to do out of duty, not out of conviction!!!!!

The audience's reactions in this clip are just sickening. I wouldn't be surprised if there were "applause" and "boo" signs over Rummy's head.

On Countdown, Richard Wolffe pointed out that Rummy's statement that he is "not in the intelligence business" is false. The DoD has its own rather large intelligence operation. It was, in fact, the DIA that sent Colin Powell to the UN loaded with bogus intel. And yet, confronted with his mendacity, Rummy hides behind the fact that Powell believed the lies he was given by Rummy's own crew.

It was, in fact, the DIA that sent Colin Powell to the UN armed with bogus intel. And yet, confronted with his own mendacity by Ray McGovern, Rummy hides behind the fact that Powell believed the lies he was given by Rummy's own crew.

Thats the way to do it; now do it again; and again and again, and do it to cheney and bush and condoleeeeeeeeza too.....Speak Up!

The media gets more annoying everyday (or at least BBC). I used to read BBC but when Colbert did his speech it was a footnote on the event.

Now they reported the incident like this..

Which makes it sound like the ex-CIA guy was also heckling.

he called him "colon powell"

I think that clip makes Rumsfeld look almost reasonable.

His answers were bull shit, but he seemed to be the only one in the room that wanted to listen to the guy. It sounds like they were attempting to remove the CIA guy from the room, and Rumsfeld asked to let him stay and continue, which was completely unexpected, given the administrations ability and desire to silence opposition and avoid tough questions.

It wasn't much, but it was a small step in the right direction.

Was Ray mcGovern the only non-neocon in the audience in Atlanta?? Aggh! Maybe those present were paid to be there, rather than the other way around.
Outrage is the only appropriate response that I can fathom.

That guy is my new hero.
