2. An earlier caller had asked him about enron, so I googled him
and found a WP article from march 2002 about how HIS e-mails were excluded from the FOIA request and quoted him the passage from the article where his name came up.. also got the part in about how 7 compnaies that were known to have attended the Cheney meeting had donated 824,350 in donations to the repube party.. I started out my mentioning the recall and how we had been enroned..

He looked a bit startled and tried to spin himself out of it :evilgrin:

It was the last call of the day, so unfortunately, others could not "follow up"


The secret to calling in to cspan is to google the guests BEFORE they go on and have facts and dates and reliable sources.. Never speak in generalities.. that's what these guys are trained for.. They can spin a generality, but when you have specifics and dates and quotes and numbers, they cannot refute you.. They can stumble around and look dumb, but they have no time to prove you wrong..

You have to turn the tables on them :)

7. The link is up.. at c-span
I have tried to play it but all of a sudden I cannot play any of the c-span links.. when I open my computer I am asked to download windown media player.. I do it and then whenever I click any link at c-span it won't play.. It downloads (somewhere:(..) and I can never find it, but even though I click open instead of save it won't work.. GRRRRRRR


Usually when I click a link, a box opens up and it just plays ...:(
