Did you all hear Chris Matthews call McCain a Troll last night?

[AlCzervik]

He asked some guy if he thought America would get tired of McCain being grumpy and angry all the time and he said he was a troll.

Over on Charlie Rose there was a much better show going on where they all said Obama passed the commander and chief test and McCAin needed to win---and he did not.

Al Hunt
Doris Kearns Goodwin
Mark Halpern---he seems to love Obama now
Byron York--tool

and a whole bunch of other columnist and news people.

1. Yeah, said he looked like a troll. Funny.

[On the Road]

2. That Was Great!

He wouldn't let that one go, either. Kept bring up the troll characterization.

3. What did Goodwin say?

What is your take on her general opinion of the debate? TIA:)

[AlCzervik]

7. Goodwin thought McCain did okay and she thought Obama was good but she said like many others

the McCain's body language, she's not sure how that's going to play, she didn'r call him rude but you know that's what she meant.

I thought the format sucked and i think Obama was wise to not respond to McCain's bullshit, he could have easily attacked the troll but he used it to show that he's confident and can go head to head with McCain and come out on top.

12. Thanks for the info!

I've always had a lot of respect for Goodwin:)

[AlCzervik]

13. it was a good and varied panel, they all gave McCain some points but clearly Obama

handled himself really well and he passed the test, they all agreed on that.

[AlCzervik]

14. oh yeah, Katty Kay from the BBC basically thought McCain was an asshole, she said he looked like

"He hates Obama".

[mamalone]

15. I think that was probably an accurate assessment...

;)

[Tutonic]

19. I think that the polls next week are going to show Obama's lead

among women soar. The tone that McCain took will be viewed as particularly offensive by women.

4. That was hilarious.nt

[caledesi]

5. Tweety told this story....he was told by "management" not to be

"too" liberal on MSNBC about a year ago (at a meeting) or ...he would lose the show! I guess he doesn't care anymore....That's when I cut him some slack!

[ChimpersMcSmirkers]

6. He also compared him to Capt. Queeg

[AlCzervik]

8. i heard thate earlier and laughed but the troll thing, he was right and it was funny as hell.

9. "Where the fuck are my strawberries!!!" (updated McCain version)

[Beregond2]

10. A troll for comparison...

11. I am insulted.

16. You should check out the last Halperin scorecard...

"Temperamentally, Obama might just be the most even keeled presidential candidate in a generation...."

[AlCzervik]

18. I saw Halpern on Charlie Rose and he made some great points, he thought Obama

really handled himself well.

I think the rudeness of McCain will not play well.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

17. Loved that comment!!!

Chris Matthews earns a point from me for THAT comment!!!
And you can really see it in how McSame acted during the debate. I think his "performance" really did make me think of him as the grumpy old man living in the neighborhood constantly yelling at kids to get off his lawn!!!

20. What were those camera shots of mctroll

glaring out @ the audience and grimacing? We were treated to that more than a couple of times on msnbc. It was like he was trying to see someone in the darkened theatre. It was weird.

[FatDave]

21. I heard him say it a couple times.

At least twice, maybe more. He was out asking people on the street "do you think he seemed like a troll?"

All the talk of trolls reminded me of DU. :rofl:

[SuperTrouper]

22. Me too. McTroll is a good nickname for...McTROLL!!!

:rofl:
