10. He may be ill, for sure, but what he's been put up to by the repugs
is still abominable and he deserves to be laughed at..... I guess I'm laughing not just at him and his challenge to tweety, but I'm laughing at the repukes for their choice in him as a speaker; what a FAUX PAS!!

Good planning bushco! LOL LOL

16. Seriously, Zell was supposed to be their trump card...
but instead he lies through his teeth and threatens the life of a reporter!

4. See what I mean?
How could anyone go that far? Woah. I think the problem is that Zell is just way out of his league.

8. Did you notice Scarborough's spin
They're laughing it off like he's your lovable old kook of an uncle. Yet Dean's scream, out of context, was a sign of mental instability. These people just SUCK!!

9. He never did explain that "spitballs" comment
Matthews just let it go.

14. he did though...
He condescendingly asked Matthews if he knew what a metaphor was, as though Matthews was a kindergartener.

Then Matthews asked him about a metaphor (starving kids) and Zell went off the deep end, as he was clearly not able to follow the very simplistic train of thought.

11. Thats reasonable, the poor bastard was led-on by chimp and rove
Edited on Thu Sep-02-04 12:43 AM by The_Casual_Observer
he actually bought into that speech that was probably written by rove. He seemed to be troubled enough by it to research the claims, as he showed papers he was carrying with him to the CNN panel (He was on there first and was similarly trounced).

However the fact remains, he made absolutely outrageous irresponsible claims for which he rightly was called on. Probably rove is to blame for the whole thing.

12. He's clearly senile
Matthews had a very simplistic line of inquiry concerning the spitball comment, and the starving children analogy, and Miller berated him as an imbecile and a liar, and then threatened his life twice on national television.

17. RNC doesn't Do Christian
Christ didn't properly thieve from the poor for their purposes.

19. Watching now too
He offered to be Zell's second. Wanted to whip up on some guy in the crowd. What an a**hole.

22. Gatlin was very mild last night in his interview. Tonight the dark side
came out as it does with most rethugs. They're okay with everything until they don't get their way. No compromise, just go for the throat.

21. Frank Luntz's focus group (Cincinnati) acted favorably.
Saying that Zell's words carried weight, after all, "He's a Democrat, that matters to me. He wouldn't be saying that about his own party if it were not true."

<groan>

Only two women said it was hogwash.

23. Luntz is a republican pollster
and he was in Cincinnati. I lived there. Mapplethorpe is all you have to say. Very conservative town.

27. They obviously hadn't seen his performance
on ccn or msnbc. After seeing it, it made the whole serious discussion of "pros and cons" on the Luntz thing a farce.

24. NYC must feel like a war-zone to the GOP simps, and the
pressure from security, from the protestors, from the booze, from the meth, from the lap-dances, well it's all just making them go fucking nuts, and act out publicly. Who knows what sort of fucked up funky zoo you'll see on your TV when Bush hits the stage tomorrow night.
