This is what an A S S K I C K I N G looks like
Matthews makes a few really good points:

Are Repubs trying to fool the public by taking off their uniforms and acting like they're somebody different?

... and, is Bush pulling another Katrina disappearing act since the Monday meltdown?


Wow, you've got to watch this ....

5. And both of them have obviously taken the gloves off
in the last couple of weeks. Finally, bullshit is openly being called bullshit, at least on their shows.

6. CM, "Where is the President? Cantor (R), "I don't know where he is. I assume he is in the WH."
Pathetic.

I loved the line about taking off their uniforms. No question about it, when Chris is good, he is very good.

9. Look at how ridiculous the republicans had to become before
the talking heads would finally call them out though.I'll give Tweety his props,but we had to endure the republican theater of the absurd before any of them grew a pair.

11. How. Fucking. Typical.
Edited on Wed Sep-17-08 09:14 PM by regnaD kciN
Avoid any responsibility...but make sure you refer to the "Democrat Party" or the "Democrat candidate" as often as possible.

This is the best tirade from Tweety since that talk-show jackass from L.A. tried to claim Obama was an "appeaser," then didn't know what the word meant.

I'm wondering if being taken off the newsanchor position is going to free Tweety to speak his mind more often.

The entire Rebublican convention was like that. Avoiding the issues. All biography of McCain-Palin. Also the "drill now" chants.

This Tweety video is exactly like Obama and Biden are going to be in the 4 debates to come. Republican arguments for another 4 years = finnished then!!! Dems are going attack and attack hard in the debates. LOL

16. P.S.: Watch the tail end of that interview here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o761zoDQJmg

Tweety asks both Wexler and Cantor whether they take responsibility for the performance of their party. Wexler doesn't hesitate to say "of course we do!" Of course, the Republican weasels his way through a non-answer answer.

22. Here's what I think is up with Tweety:
1 - he got kicked off the reporting on the campaign trail, and that pissed him off big-time
2 - he is pissed that the McCain camp is keeping Palin from doing anything but very controlled interviews
3 - he lost a lot of money this week
4 - he suddenly really saw how they play the game -- how they stick to the talking points - you noticed how he drilled Cantor, saying "You've never once said the word 'Republican'" - and the thing is, even when called on it, Cantor never did utter the word, not once, even after Tweety called him on it several times. Cantor is good at sticking to the talking points. "Democrat party" "crisis of confidence" and avoiding any responsibility, and avoiding saying Bush or saying the name of his party. They are totally into manipulating with their linguistic tricks and it has worked for them SO WELL up to this point that they just can't figure out what the hell is happening.

There's something happening here
and you don't know what it is
do you, Mr. Jones (Cantor)

20. Notice Cantor says "Crisis of Confidence".
That is their entire approach. They truly think this is Psychological and not real. In order to rebuild confidence they deny that they are Republicans now that the GOP candidates are "mavericks". As I remember the old Maverick TV series Maverick was a con man, flim flam man, Confidence man, and gambler. Scratch Republican enter the word "Maverick". They are liars.

Yes the GOP has played a "confidence" game for years, it is coming home to roost. We have been played for too long I have no confidence in their confidence game.

On a non-substantive note -

I have the sneaking suspicion that Sir Eric may be a Wide-Stance Republican.

You know. Just a bit of that toe-tappin' fever.
