Irey on Hardball

Here’s the link to Diana Irey’s first appearance on Hardball. Matthews seemed like a bully at first, telling Ms. Irey that he “didn’t need to be reminded that my brother” is running as a Republican. She stood her ground admirably there and eventually started winning Matthews over by the interview’s end.

One thing that stood out for me was in the final minute of the interview when Matthews said “You’ll probably give Jack a pretty good run…” I hadn’t expected that at all. I’d sorta agree with Matthews except that I’m a bit more optimistic than Matthews. I think she’ll beat Mr. Murtha.

Technorati: Chris Matthews, Diana Irey, Murtha

I see that Matthews had to have the last word and pontificate at the last minute…

One thing that I (as an antiwar conservative) was very glad to see on that interview was that Irey seemed to [candidly!] indicate that (like William F. Buckley) if she had known now what she knows about the WMD issue, she would “probably not” have supported the Iraq war! (I would have to look at the transcript, or watch that clip again, to be sure.)

This was refreshing to see, and definitely boosted my view of our party’s challenger to Congressman Murtha.

EXPLAINATION OF ABOVE LINKS:

“Swift Boat Veterans for Themselves” ignored a couple issues CRITICAL to our troops at war during the run-up to the 2004 election.

First, they sat silent knowing full well that Bush NEVER USED the number of troops he incessantly claims his generals asked for. Turkey would not allow the 40,000 troops of the 4th to pass through and participate in Bush’s invasion of Iraq.

Bush waged war KNOWING our troops were 40,000 short.

Second, these same Lookatme! Showboaters sat silent when this very same troop shortage resulted in America’s greatest tragedy of the war in Iraq.

EVERYONE who’s ever gone through basic training knows that when you find your enemies weapons, you keep them secure.

Hundreds of tons of high explosives that our troops had captured at Al Qaqaa were abandoned specifically due to troops shortages, CREATED by Bush’s incompetence in war.

These explosive stolen from Al Qaqaa are the weapons that have been used to blow our troops into too many parts to count each and every day of this war.

When some pasty butt wimp, like Larry Bailey of bootmurtha.com, decides to pass his “gimme’ some money” collection plate to support his concept of patriotism for a circus tent performance at The Cambria County War Memorial on October 1st of this year …

Some would say there’s nothing more patriotic than putting a moron who’s never given a hoot about our troops at war (or he would have spoke up about those 40k troops left behind and Al Qaqaa IN 2004) in his proper place …he’s a coward.

To make matters even MORE entertaining, Larry Bailey actually thinks having John O’Neill, the original Lookatme! Show Boater, as his surprise guest speaker is a feather in his cap.

You may not like the stand John Murtha has been making, but for anyone who supports our troops at war, there’s no way to respond to these idiot Swiftboaters’ Reunion in Murtha’s home town of Johnstown, Pa, than a chorus of Bronx raspberries.

I hope this clarifies.
