The story about the airplane passengers forcibly detained, strip searched, and interrogated for “FWBVE” or “flying while being vaguely ethnic on 9/11″–infuriated me. I was glad that Stephen covered it right away.
We were also talking about Liz Levin recently and the wonderful field pieces on the Report, well ask and ye shall receive, you young whippersnappers. Hey! You could tell the field producers were getting such a kick out of their subjects, they just let the camera take in all the long, semi-awkward pauses. And trust me when I say this, people like Chris Toole do exist. That is not Matthew McConaughey playing Chris Toole or anything like that. Mr. Toole seems to be destined to be a future “Alpha Dog of the Week.” We will have to stay tuned on that front.
What did y’all think about the episode ya’ yungins? Ya’ don’t know nuthin’ anyways, even where flour comes from, I’ll bet!
Quotables
– I don’t need to smoke pot, you’re a natural high.
–The republicans had their second debate in a week, so i’m as excited as a kid in a candy store who spent 3 hours in that same candy store last wednesday.
– I hope he doesn’t have to give up his other job as assistant manager of the Route 23 Kinko’s.
–’Plus one’: also, the number of votes his endorsement has brought to the Romney campaign.
– T-paw! T-paw!
– [Newspapers are] part of the past, like buggy whip makers and the middle class.
–This is why I have long called for removing bathrooms from airplanes. If you can’t hold it for six hours, take a boat–it’s on a bathroom.
–As a broadcaster, I am obligated to remind you how you felt that day. You were sad.
–[Commenting on 9/11 memorabilia] even a 9/11 chess set, honoring the police and firefighters, who, I assume, fought to capture each other’s kings.
–These terrorists attacked us because they hate our way of life, and what typifies more than selling each other useless crap made in China!
–If we can exploit this anniversary of their attacks to make a quick buck, we win. That’s hitting the terrorists with economic Jujitsu. And you know how they feel about the Jews.
–One shopping griefpertunity comes from Liebs sellers, who are offering bottles of 9/11 wine. This is perfect for when you are drinking to ‘never forget.’ You will wake up the next morning saying, ‘how much did I remember last night?’
–Hmm! That is a Coalition of the Filling.
–I want to assure you some of the proceeds…will go somewhere.
Interview Quotables
–These tapes were from the 1960s. Were women allowed to have their own words back then?
–[Jackie Kennedy] sounds like if you crossed her, she would sweep the leg.
–Diane Sawyer: She’s someone who thought she was going to be a witness to history, and she made history herself.
–I don’t need to know that my President is blubbering about anything. I want to know that my President is stalwart and steely. Doesn’t that weaken the memory of President Kennedy, to know the truth about him?
–Diane Sawyer: Stephen, I just want you to tell me how you feel about not having ever cried?
–SC: (weakly) I feel fine.
Notable Moments
It wasn't and after a day they changed their tune.
Another spokesperson told ABC News today that "Director Clapper had not yet been briefed on the arrests in the United Kingdom at the time of this interview taping."
“[Clapper had been] working throughout the day on important intelligence matters, including monitoring military and political developments on the Korean Peninsula, providing answers to questions concerning the ratification of the START nuclear treaty, and other classified issues. He wasn't immediately briefed on London because it didn't appear to have a homeland nexus and there was no immediate action by the DNI required. Nevertheless, he should have been briefed on the arrests, and steps have been taken to ensure that he is in the future. The intelligence community as a whole was fully aware of this development and tracking it closely.”
So, rest-assured folks the DHS appears to be as on top of things as they ever were. Video of Sawyer's interview below. It is not confidence-instilling.
