The new podcast is up…
I just couldn’t resist having some fun on the podcast with Mr. Cheney’s latest screed. He’s so over the top he’s outdone himself on this one.
The White House response was pitch perfect. From Politico:
A day after former Vice President Cheney charged the Obama administration with “dithering” over its strategy for the war in Afghanistan, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs returned fire with guns blazing.
“What Vice President Cheney calls dithering, President Obama calls his solemn responsibility to the men and women in uniform,” Gibbs said Thursday. “I think we’ve all seen what happens when somebody doesn’t take that responsibility seriously.”
Also on the broadcast is health care, my conversation with Richard Holbrooke, the J Street conference next week, and much more, with a little about my appearance on Washington Journal, focusing on the reality that the public option really is popular, but also that the right has come out blasting by saying the latest polling model is bad. From Media Matters:
…with Fox News contributor Newt Gingrich reportedly claiming that “this poll was deliberately rigged and produced a result that’s fundamentally false” and that “It’s a typical Washington Post effort to slant the world in favor of liberal Democrats” and Rush Limbaugh calling the poll “totally fraudulent.”
Chris Cilizza has a column up on it as well describing the Republicans biggest problem: When only 20% of the American electorate identify themselves as Republicans it’s hard for a sample to have more than that in it. Someone tell the Fox crew, who totally embarrassed themselves through analysis that is pre-kindergarten level.
It just gives more steam to the ongoing Fox battle raging, which the video above from Media Matters proves is a worthy fight.
All this and more, including horrible job numbers, is covered on the podcast. Enjoy!
