Roy Blunt Lying About Oil Spills on Late Edition

Wolf Blitzer getting Roy Blunt's response to his interview with Nancy Pelosi, and besides the other GOP talking points he spews out, Blunt tells the latest whopper they're peddling where they say there wasn't any significant amount of oil spilled during the hurricanes. It's a LIE they're hoping the public is stupid enough to buy if they repeat it enough times and the press doesn't call them out for it which of course Blitzer does not.

Tim Russert would not let him get away from not answering so many direct questions, or spewing his Republican lies.

The ignorance that is CNN and all MSM,isn't worth commenting on anymore.

Bush's recent rhetoric is puzzling - when did his administration ever care about the sovereignty of any ME country aside from Israel. In Iraq, he's already let some of his Texas oil buddies sign agreements with the Kurds, undermining the authority of the Maliki government that we're supposedly helping to build. If Obama wins the election, it's going to take a superfund type effort to get the oil slick out of the Big White Oil House.

I'll have to disagree with you. Wolf Blitzer asked Blunt three times to directly state the reason why Nancy Pelosi's argument is faulted, each time he gave a non-answer and/or tried to change the subject. Even after that, Blitzer stated that drilling with the leases that the oil companies already has would bring relief sooner, yet Blunt had no meaningful reply to that either. How much further should Blitzer have to push Blunt?

[Nutrino2179]

Reporters just sit and let Repubs claim that the surge was a foreign policy rather than a military strategy. It's even more amazing that after lying us into an unnecessary war and bungling it every way possible for almost six years, the Repubs have the audacity to gloat over finally getting one tactic right, and go on to claim vindication for the entire war and their warmongering policies because the surge helped mitigate the horrendous cost of this pointless war.

[ogjimkenobi]

Lol, right on. Yeah guess that wasn't very polite.

[moronicnotions]

We aren't bothered:)

However, I am bothered that he referred to the Speaker by her first name. Very disrespectful.
