FRONT PAGE CONTRIBUTOR

Brian Faughnan on MSNBC.

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.

    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 was probably expecting a fight, and didn’t get one.

    Kudos, Brian. Great job!

    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?

    The story won’t last long if they can’t spin it better.

    You and the FDL chick completely ruined Slippery Shuster’s day. ;)

    …because there’s no shortage of voices from the left criticizing Obama for his lack of (promised) transparency.

  • NeoKong

    It;s nice to match a face to the words.
    Nice tie.
    He did a good job.

    “…tell the unvarnished truth, without any spin…” is often pretty difficult in that arena…

    I don’t recognize what we’re calling you now…

    Great job, Brian. That waffle line was hillarious!

  • Cheryl

    and that waffle thing is even funnier the 2nd time. Also, appreciate that you got the IG issue in there. Thanks Brian, good job.

    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.

    It’s good to see more RedState regulars called as news commentators.

    A conservative and a progressive agreed,against Obama on the #1 Obama news station. Whatever will Kieth O do now?

    Nice job Brian,now go take a shower and the MSNBC residue off of you.
