On a website that was focused on criminal justice issues. and my blog posts are still accessible. i was effusive in my praise of the governor when he was a federal prosecutor, specifically because of his effectiveness in combatting pervasive corruption in new jersey. so i was frankly just stunned that this administration came in and did what it did. >> well, let me go back to michael powell reporting this. this michael russo guy, who was one of the defendants in the original 43-count indictments...

Luther king jr. and others of the leadership of the march on washington into the white house. >> absolutely. and not only did that, but he called loretta scott king, locked in the birmingham jail. >> yes. >> that alone helped african-americans to see him in a brand-new way. as someone who will reach out and care about their issues and embrace them in a way that no president had done before. >> sally, there is this popular meme going around conservatives who are actually claiming that jfk was one...

That she faced, this woman who fit what you are supposed to be when you have an abortion, people calling her a murderer in blog posts, comments, e-mailing me, and i understand why people dont tell their stories. i think obviously its a huge public service. its tremendously courageous to sit here and say i had an abortion, but i also understand why people dont do it because of what theyre subjected to. >> absolutely. >> cassie, you said when you were doing this work, people are showing love and s...

Where with the cable news coverage and the internet and the impatience and speed driving everything, give it to me now, give me the sound bites that, you know, youve got to live in that world. i dont, quite frankly, and try to spend a year or more on something and get the detail and the notes and the memos that really explain what theyre saying to each other in the process. and i think when you examine that, it makes your head hurt, that this isnt a government thats working. >> you touched on so...

Obama administration screwed up in benghazi. when you have a light presence you expose yourselves to things like not being able to respond quickly. "60 minutes" have experience from ten years ago with the texas air national guard memos. remember the story about george w. bush not being present when he was supposed to be during his time in the air national guard. it turned out that the memos were written in microsoft word 30 years after that. there were all these blog posts going back and forth t...

Tone in the coverage of president obama. it started with the botched obamacare rollout and the coverage turned very aggressive. the clip you just played has become this presidents read my lips, no new taxes in that, obviously, its more complicated, but you cant just keep your plan because many of these are deemed substandard under obamacare. but i would say its even broader than health care, martha. when "the wall street journal" reported the other day that the nsa conducting surveillance of all...

Of these things. was she working with foreign intelligence? i dont want to put an innocent person under the spotlight. if you are not a secret agent from china i apologize. >> by the way, her dad today, a little breaking news on this, but jonathon mills came out and says he sends his love to the couple. after having met edward snowden he snows him to be forthright and loves him and supports him. >> his daughter is a pole dancer, of course he will say she a great dude. >> can i go back to joel fo...
