2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumAnyone 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.

(2,145 posts)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.

(50,130 posts)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.

(2,145 posts)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.

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

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?
