Jottings
I'm still a week behind catching up from vacation on the audio side. But I did finish the video backlog, finding some amusing quotes. From Almanac March 17:
OK, maybe she just wanted the interview to move on. From At Issue with Tom Hauser March 19:
Sorry Dr. Evil, I guess you're a nobody. But Ember wasn't finished.
And this:
On Almanac March 24, all twelve DFL candidates for the Fifth Congressional District appeared. Reporter Mary Lahammer's "Walk the Line" segment was cute, having them move to one side or another in response to questions. One questions was "are you a liberal?" Only three pretended they weren't, and Mary asked them what they preferred to be called:
That sure clears it up.
Works for whom? From At Issue with Tom Hauser on March 26:
What skill would that be, Governor? Duplicity?
True dat.
Then what is Dean Johnson afraid of?
Hauser quickly revised and extended his remarks to include the possibility that she might win the election. Unfortunately for his viewers, he probably had it right the first time.
"In the name of the Church, in the name of forgiveness, let's move on to the other issues." — State Senator Dean Johnson, with host Cathy Wurzer nodding approvingly.
OK, maybe she just wanted the interview to move on. From At Issue with Tom Hauser March 19:
"Dean Johnson got up in front of these people and lied." — David Strom
[Less than a minute later]
"No one has said he has lied." — Ember Reichgott-Junge
Sorry Dr. Evil, I guess you're a nobody. But Ember wasn't finished.
"I believe Dean Johnson and I believe the Court and I think they're consistent."
And this:
"Dean Johnson is not on the Senate Judiciary Committee, or if he is, he's just one vote."
On Almanac March 24, all twelve DFL candidates for the Fifth Congressional District appeared. Reporter Mary Lahammer's "Walk the Line" segment was cute, having them move to one side or another in response to questions. One questions was "are you a liberal?" Only three pretended they weren't, and Mary asked them what they preferred to be called:
Rebecca Yanisch: "Progressive."
Jon Olson: "Moderate."
Ember Reichgott-Junge: "Progressive moderate!"
That sure clears it up.
"Progressive government works. We've shown that in Minneapolis." — Paul Ostow
Works for whom? From At Issue with Tom Hauser on March 26:
"Here you have a fellow that's the former Minority Leader for the Republicans. Now he's the Majority Leader for the Democrats. It takes some skill to do that." — Former Governor Wendell Anderson
What skill would that be, Governor? Duplicity?
"Had Pawlenty or Sviggum done this, the Democrats would be attempting to destroy them and deny their children adequate nutrition." — Dave Thompson
True dat.
"Bottom line, the votes are not there [for the Marriage Amendment] on the Senate floor." — Ember Reichgott-Junge
Then what is Dean Johnson afraid of?
"Speaking of the 2006 elections, Ember is not going to be with us for a short amount of time." — Tom Hauser
Hauser quickly revised and extended his remarks to include the possibility that she might win the election. Unfortunately for his viewers, he probably had it right the first time.
And, I hope someone figures a way to keep Ms. Junge off the airwaves. I'd rather listen to Howard Dean... wait, no, John Kerry... no... who am I kidding, I can't stand listening to any Liberal mouthpiece, especially one as "Progressive" as Ms. Junge.
