Anyone have video yet of Weaver playing cat and mouse with Tweety?

Chris was a spluttering wreck. He kept asking Weaver an astonished question, and then cutting Weaver off after about four words of response. Again and again and again. The end effect was just spluttering from Tweety. On and on.

Sometimes he is so poorly briefed that it is pathetic.

What a hack. Never heard him interviewed until now.

One of many reasons that Bernie is toast.

Weaver made himself look like the fool he is.

Don't have to see it to know that Matthews cannot let anybody complete a sentence. I'm waiting for the courageous interviewee to tell him to shut the fuck up and listen. That would be monumental. Quite a few videos are not available. I looked for the Jeff Merkley video and it wasn't online. The transcript was but not the video. They're getting nervous I guess.

This was the worst I have ever seen him. And he thought he was really clever -- thought he was getting Weaver to admit to something.

Tell ya one thing. I would NEVER play poker with Weaver.

You know, that's the thing: Bernie could put together the smartest administration with the fewest ties to Wall Street and corporations. Nobody sees that. That is precisely what he did in Burlington as mayor.

choose not to wear a sneeze guard around their head to block the shards of spittle that emanate from Chris' maw.

Weaver soldiered on. There was a tiny bit of amusement showing from time to time as Tweety impersonated Sylvester the Cat.

Sufferin' Succotash!

That is, if the lectures are no big deal, why are they fighting it like it's a criminal accusation? Isn't that what they always say, if there's nothing to hide, why are you hiding it?

It's not like we're accusing her of anything criminal. But she gets paid a LOT for those speeches and the voters have a right to know what she is saying to them behind those closed doors and now with the added noise machines. What is SO PRIVATE that we can't know?
