Just watched George Stephenanopolous host the segment on Kerry in Vietnam. John O'Neil was great. Clinton's John Podesta kept going off topic at flank speed! George S. kept the discussion pretty much on-topic.

All in all, a pretty good discussion.

O'Neil destroyed Podesta. George S., amazingly, dwelled on the specifics. The facts aren't Kerry's friend, and it really showed.

That was O'Neil at his best.

O'Neil just BEAT THE HELL out of Podesta.

George S. is a big time Clinton supporter if I remember correctly. Somehow this doesn't suprise me, I do believe Hillery wants to make a run in 2008 and she can't run against an incumbent Democrat.

Truth and facts have always been the enemy of the Democrats. Laughing

Thanks for the heads up. I caught it out here in Colorado. Step was very fair. He kept BOTH men on track and to the specific points he brought up.

Obviously this was, and should be, the way that all interviews should go in the future. O'Neil stayed the course. I think he is getting better and better as the interviews go forward. He knows he only has a few seconds to hammer on the facts before he is shouted down by stupid comments off-topic.

Congratulations to Step for his courage and O'Neil for his stamina!

I caught the Show, but missed the first few minutes. Podesta was eaten up on this by Mr. O'neill! He had no real comebacks to anything except to try and shift the subject or spin the facts more.
I learned a couple things I had not been aware of also regarding the Purple Heart, Kerry actualy was turned down for one? He waited 3 months to file the paperwork when the OIC who turned it down had left?
The "Christmas in Cambodia" story is going to hurt, as well as his comments before the Senate regarding "War Crimes", more so than any of his Purple Hearts or other Medals! Those are irrefutable lies on his part and do not come down to the "He said she said" thing. I tend to believe the SBVFT on the topic of what happened in Vietnam, it is just that the American people will be much more ready to believe the dishonesty of Kerrys own words! The debate that O'Neill and Kerry had years ago should be played over and over or at least publish the Transcript everywhere possible!
Come on!! It really is no surprise of course regarding Kerry, he has made a living off of being facetious and not being completely honest and forthcoming.
You know I can not for the life of me understand how we kept re-electing him to Office here in Ma., he truely has no integrity!

You know that O'Neill has all the details of Unfit for Command -- seared, seared in his brain.

He probably doesn't even get restful sleep because this is playing through his brain all night long.

He certainly has a lot of fortitude and I admire him for all the hard work he's doing and all the *$# he's putting up with.

John Podesta will never be able to face his democratic colleagues without apologizing for his dreadful appearance.

I need a transcript!!!!!!!!!!!! Very Happy

Since Podesta is pres of a 527, his defense(obviously choreographed by the Kerry Campaign) is a blatant act of collusion.

I love that guy, but I always watch FOX.

I must admit I was beginning to doubt the Swiftvets but after seeing O'neill rip podesta apart on "this week" this morning I firmly believe the swiftvets are telling the truth and John Kerry has a serious problem on his hands. All I can say now is sign the standard form 180 Mr. Kerry. Bravo Mr. O'neill.
