The subject: This administration’s lack of transparency!
The spokesperson for the Left: Jane Hamsher, of FireDogLake!
The battle:
…called on account of mutual agreement, more or less.
Sorry: normally I’d be more than happy to whale on Ms. Hamsher, but I’ve watched this particular segment twice - and aside from her tacit disagreement with Brian that this isn’t unexpected behavior (or isn’t better than President’s Bush’s) I’ve got nothing legitimate to toss at her. And since I’m not going to make something up, I’ll just end it with a “Good job” to Brian for getting on the record that yea, indeed, we on the Right are not surprised by the current state of affairs re transparency.
Oh, and that we’re glad to hear that there will be criticism from the Left on this issue as well.

Outstanding job, Brian!
azaeroprof Monday, June 22nd at 10:45PM EDT (link)We would all be well-served to have articulate, knowledgable spokesmen like Brian out there. And it IS amazing that, not only did Brian and Ms. Hamsher pretty much agree, but even the MSDNC host couldn’t offer any kool-aid tonic either!

He actually looked kinda disappointed.

Kudos, Brian. Great job!

Thanks a lot!
Brian Faughnan Monday, June 22nd at 10:52PM EDT (link)You people are too kind.
Barack Obama made my job easy today. All I had to do was go out and tell the unvarnished truth, without any spin. How hard is that?
in the ObaMedia?

Well done Brian

This is one where left and right agree...
wesmorgan Monday, June 22nd at 11:42PM EDT (link)…because there’s no shortage of voices from the left criticizing Obama for his lack of (promised) transparency.
So that's what Brian looks like...?
NeoKong Monday, June 22nd at 11:46PM EDT (link)It;s nice to match a face to the words.
Nice tie.
He did a good job.

Brian, did you have another username on RS?
Raven Tuesday, June 23rd at 12:13AM EDT (link)I don’t recognize what we’re calling you now…

I had another username...
Brian Faughnan Tuesday, June 23rd at 8:25AM EDT (link)but I wrote under it very little because I was posting primarily at the Weekly Standard site. Once I came over here and started posting here almost exclusively, I went with my real name.
LOVED the waffle dig!

Cheryl Tuesday, June 23rd at 1:10AM EDT (link)and that waffle thing is even funnier the 2nd time. Also, appreciate that you got the IG issue in there. Thanks Brian, good job.
We always knew you were articulate, but now we know you're also clean!
