Someone needs to smash Brokaw's fucking forehead into that big round table...
Let's see if Palin gets these types of questions...if she even appears on MTP.

1. Palin questions:
Is it hard being a working mom of 5? How do you balance it all?
You said Obama doesn't have much experience. How little experience does Obama have?
Why do you think Democrats hate America?

etc.

6. "You're a symbol for all that is good and decent in America. How humbled are you living up to that?"

10. That would be a tricky question for her...
since humble seems not to be her default mode.

16. Do you think Obama could hit a wolf with a deer rifle from a Cessna?
I'll bet YOU could, Vice Pres...I mean Governor, Palin.

5. Very well...
but Brokaw keeps trying to twist up his answers.

Biden is countering well though.

He is very relaxed...can't wait to see him head to head with Palin.

3. Brokaw is flat out in love with John McCain. Makes Russert's man-crush seem tame.

8. You know damned good and well she won't.
We will have no more idea of her grasp of issues by Nov. 2 than we have right now.

But I'm sure we'll all know her favorite recipes and household tips.

9. Biden did very well. Don't know how he sat through that long harangue from Brokaw
Edited on Sun Sep-07-08 08:49 AM by godai
Brokaw started with videos, then a Delaware newspaper, then various statements, bringing up Biden's son, and Biden patiently waited to respond and he responded very well. This was all about lobbyists. After Biden's answer, Brokaw still didn't give up. He had to followup and Biden clearly and strongly knocked down his RW talking points.

11. Biden did well on MTP
considering the stupid questions asked by Brokenjaw.
In my opinion Biden made Brokaw look like a jerk.
I'm not a big fan of these talking head programs but I still think Keith O should be given a shot at hosting MTP

12. My mom and I were watching when he mentioned OPRAH
He said some stupid crap about Oprah not wanting Palin on her show. Then he said will that decision be considered elitist (sp?)? My mom and I looked at each other as if to say, "What the hell?" LOL My mom said they just want to twist everything. LOL

13. Brokaw seemed disorganized and even a little nervous
Sounds crazy with all of his years in news, but I just felt like he was thinking he was not Russert. For example, Russert would hit politicians with a particular past quote or article or whatever. When Brokaw attempted to do this he droned on for 2 minutes with a whole bunch of stuff for Biden to respond to, it was ridiculous. I thought Biden did well, but I did groan when he mentioned our "sons" in the war. Biden closed it great though, very strong final statement.

14. lol
I read about the Oprah question asked by Brokaw on DU first, since MTP wasn't on here yet, but just saw it and I CAN'T believe (though actually...I can believe, since Brokaw is such a jack ass) that Brokaw quoted fucking The NY POST in the "Oprah doesn't want Palin!" story and used it as proof that Democrats are "afraid" of Palin! Biden looked pretty amused at that question too.

17. Every question had a negative tone.
But Joe hit each one head on.
