Thank you, Tom. I saw a very short amount of the "interview", And poor little lost girl, Dana Bash looked like exactly that. She was totally confused when Kamala answered her exact questions in plain English at the level an intelligent high school graduate would understand, but was more than a simple yes or no. It was obvious Dana was prepped to conduct an interview with orange blubber ball, not an intelligent woman who since age 29 has been talking INTELLIGENTLY in court, to treacherous, thieving, banking CEOs, in the US Senate and lately to world leaders as Joe Biden's dependable second in command.
Naturally CNN wants the likes of Dana Bash and Jake Tapper. They wouldn't dare use Anderson Cooper or someone of similar intelligence - he might stray into areas that would make the trumpster.dumpster and the pot party look like what they are - a bunch of morons.
I swear the court stenographers lost the plot years ago. If they had put in some local journalist, the local journalist would have asked much better questions. The Villagers are all about gotchas and trying to force gaffes and both the VP and the Gov. were having none of it.
Bash’s pitifully obvious second attempts for a gotcha made me cringe. Kamala aced every question with such aplomb, I wondered the media is all down and dispirited and needing their binkies.
On the political blogs there was a term when Nancy Pelosi would eviscerate a reporter or a Republican: Nancy SMASH! We may have to update that for the Vice President to "Kamala SMASH!" I saw on Twitter where she took a Dana Bash gotcha question, answered, "same old tired playbook, next question, please." Then laughed!
Our team looked great tonight. Making Dana Bash look like the fool she is was the icing on the cake.
I believe that Kamala had no intention of making “Donna” (she called her that twice and corrected) look a fool. The beauty is that Dana did that all be herself.
Just solidifies more to me that Kamala just does not have that in the playbook. She does not insult and demean. When you try to help someone NOT look like an insult, it plays well for relationship with voters. Many are looking for common decency and respect for differences. And none of the really cruel, ignorant intent that Trump and Vance portray daily. It is, as VP Harris put it…”same ol’ playbook”.
Thanks fir the summary. I've only been able to see a short clip so far, but I was very impressed by Kamala's answer and demeanor. I'll be looking for the whole thing tomorrow.
OMFG... It was bad, but I didn't think it was that bad. But, as you noted, Harris and Walz handled everything perfectly. I guess that was the best outcome.I had thought possible, so... Breathe, people. A lot of people just suck. It could have been worse.
Hey, bruh! Somehow the interwebs gods have decided to let me read you again. Every month after my payment I would wait impatiently for your column, but nada.
Anyway enough of that, delighted to read you again as you always speak truth to power.
IMHO, donnie’s administration was a vacation for the media. All they had to do was report on the morning tweets, no research or thought involved. Dana Duh Bash now knows she has to prepare for interviews with KT. KAMALA SMASH! I’m going to find that interview and enjoy reading it before it disappears. 💙🥳💙🥳
We cut the cable two years ago so I couldn’t in live time. I’m looking for a youtube link that has the full interview stat to finish, but CNN has chopped it up into disconnected outtakes. Anyone here have a link?

Dana Bash has always been a lightweight.
Agreed
I do miss Anderson Cooper, but swore off CNN when they went were bought out by the bad guys.
I had my whole TV service disconnected over a year ago, Haven't missed the lies one bit
The most perfect example of the entire stupid shitshow. How fucking STUPID was that dumbassed bimbo? This fucking stupid!
Dana Bash: “he suggested that you happened to turn Black, recently, for political purposes, questioning a core part of your identity.”
Kamala Harris: “same old tired playbook. next question, please.”
Bash: “that’s it?”
Harris: “that’s it.”
I cringed at every lame question D. Bash proffered in the “interview.” Such an insult.
The media underestimates Kamala Harris’ intelligence and abilities at their peril.
I swear the court stenographers lost the plot years ago. If they had put in some local journalist, the local journalist would have asked much better questions. The Villagers are all about gotchas and trying to force gaffes and both the VP and the Gov. were having none of it.

Harris/Walz move forward. I like it.
Salud, Andrew.

"D'anna" is actually the way Dana pronounces her name, not "Day-nah". That Kamala corrected to how she says her name was really pretty cool.
Ooooo. Just gets better.
Salud!

I tell you what, further to my point, SF politicians know to bring a gun to knife fight, that's for sure!
Thanks fir the summary. I've only been able to see a short clip so far, but I was very impressed by Kamala's answer and demeanor. I'll be looking for the whole thing tomorrow.
Me too. It will be a relief from the name calling of the overgrown junior high crowd.

I still have no idea why this happens.
That is ominous. I would be interested to know many months have you been shadow banned from TCinLA ?

A comment on CNN interview. Above. My comment after watching pieces selected by CNN to highlight—is Bash auditioning for faux news?
Since CNN is under orders to become "Faux-lite" she's auditioning to keep her job.
Once again, you go straight for the heart of the matter. And once again, well said. 👍🏼
Just read UK’s The Guardian’s OpEd piece on this interview by their DC correspondent David Smith. Damning of Harris/Walz with faint praise.
Deeply disappointing but not at all surprising.
IMHO, donnie’s administration was a vacation for the media. All they had to do was report on the morning tweets, no research or thought involved. Dana Duh Bash now knows she has to prepare for interviews with KT. KAMALA SMASH! I’m going to find that interview and enjoy reading it before it disappears. 💙🥳💙🥳
The Guardian main article was lukewarm and really limp. Disappointed in them
Me too 🐈⬛
😒
6pm news show last night aired an verbal spewing by trump. The interviewer was a total sponge of his bs, never questioning his lies!
I was yelling at the tv in that moment. Free Trump Campaign Ad
Why write it again when c/p works:
My thoughts also, Lucian.The only marginal intelect was Dana Whoozit.
Sleep tight all.
I get to watch it tomorrow morning. I had rehearsal tonight and I’m beat.
I didn't watch, because CNN. Thanks for your review. I've seen only clips thus far on MSNBC.
We cut the cable two years ago so I couldn’t in live time. I’m looking for a youtube link that has the full interview stat to finish, but CNN has chopped it up into disconnected outtakes. Anyone here have a link?
There's a transcript available
on Google. I tried YouTube
too and got only chopped
pieces. Transcript is good:
