Norah O’Donnell: Democratic operative
We?
If her interruptions interview of Liz Cheney about interrogation wasn’t enough to show her true colors, she was just on MSNBC fretting about just how loyal a Democrat Arlen Specter might be.
Interviewing Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell about whether he had made a deal with Specter to clear the Democratic primary field for him, O’Donnell used David Broder’s Specter column as a jumping-off point:
So, once again, Specter is likely to reap political rewards from his maneuvering. But the Democrats should be open-eyed about what they are gaining from his return to his original political home.
Specter’s history shouts the lesson that he will stick with you only as long as it serves his own interests — and not a day longer.
O’Donnell: “So, Governor, why should we clear the field for him if he’s about political opportunism?”
