health. exactly. thank you for saying that, rosa. given the circumstances, is this the right in the to do? does this man need more attention? i don t think we gault the answer to that. is it ethical. what about legal advice? good one. is the mayor in legal jeopardy here? from what i gather, there has been plenty of legal advice this mayor has been given. is he following it? i have two answers, either it s the worst lawyer in the world or the best lawyer ing the world he s ignoring because he s threatbing to sue all those people, former staffers who interviewed with the police and made complaints to the police. there s nothing illegal about that, but he s threatening to sue them. he s threatening to take them to court. you can t do that. in both country said, you can t do that. he s also threatening to take counsel to court for doing their job, voting to strip the powers. these are the least things they can do. these are things they can do, so no, he s not a lawyer in my books
if a source burns you, you need to come forward. you are not under obligation to protect the source who clearly leaked something for a political reason. wait a second. that s not how any journalist in this town works. we get burned a lot. sometimes intensional and sometimes not intentional. political summary that you can say if you have given confidentiality to a source, that person has misled you some in respect. i do not. there have been times when journalists have said, look, i was lied to and now because there is a whole question. remember, white house spokesman jay carney has accused republicans of fabricating that ben rhodes e-mail. i ll give you the last word, david shuster. they ask still charactcan st this. abc has an opportunity and a possibili responsibility to say, look, we gault this from republicans on
issues. and in lower income areas of america t is an issue, but the republicans don t care. they just want to cut, and they want to blame the unions, bust the unions and it s the teacher in the classroom who is the problem. this, of course, was another lie that i think the democrats can really debunk next week. when they go to charlotte. get your cell phones out. i want to know what you think. tonight s question, can mitt romney lie his way into the white house? text a for yes, text b for no, to 622639. you can go to our blog and we ll bring you the results later on in the show. coming up, this convention really, what was it? it s really a reflection of the nominee, mitt romney. so we gault a really good look into romney s judgment and his ability to lead, including the clint eastwood fiasco. richard wolffe and van jones join me for that. first, we noticed another thing at this week s republican convention. it seems nearly all of these
catatonic, wondering about his family. his wife constance, his 12-year-old daughter chloe, and his 9-year-old daughter lily, were last seen as the fire was racing up towards the house. he and his son had gotten separated from them. and when he tried to get back, he just could not find them. the authorities have found some bodies, but they have not identified them. he s hoping against hope that somehow they have just been separated and that through the chaos of this aftermath, that they have just been unable to make contact with somebody to reach out to him. the firefighters, as we mentioned, are still on the case, working as hard as they can on a vast fire. again, responded to the one this morning, but to give you an idea of how difficult these hours can be, take a look at this picture that is going viral. this was pictured on the facebook page of the johnson city professional firefighters association. the kamcaption says it all. as close as we gault to seeing sleep in 36 hours.
