14. I agree!...
Because real attempts to get at the truth, call bullshit on the spin, and educate the public on a given subject, is...SO DAMNED REFRESHING!!!...and the life blood of an educated, properly functioning republic...

3. OMG Tweety on fire
"and somewhere on the trip to Washington through Neiman's and Sak's she never picked up a copy of the US Constitution..."

:rofl:

Tweets, please remember: Republicans wipe their asses with the Constitution.

5. K&R! Finally, I wish more of these talking heads would get pinned down
like that! I am so sick of hearing them skirt the questions.

7. Yes! This is precisely how the media should be utilized...
demonstrating the fallacy of an argument, calling 'em on when they are atempting to "change the subject" (as Matthews did), and educating Americans (in this case, by specifically pointing out the function of the VP according to the Constitution).

Our republic desperately needs more of this...

8. man he really let her have it. one thing i don't like though
is how he asks a question, and then keeps talking and talking. ask the question and then let the person answer. geesh. but he did let her have it.

11. Part of the problem with that is...
that whwn he did give her the opportunity to answer the question she immediately attempted to change the subject to Obama/Biden, as Matthews pointed out.

Until the spinmeisters can begin offering direct, relevant questions to direct answers, than perhaps this is the best way to go about it.

15. I agree; and i empathize with your frustration with talking over people...
I get that way too...but it usually comes from people doing the "shout down" when someone of opposite political affilliation is attempting to provide a rational explanation to a question which the questioner simply doesn't want a rational answer to.

Matthews did great here.... :hi:

18. Hot damn!
Not sure I like his combative attitude, but that's what seems to get people's attention.
He's dead right though, and pissed off - like any rational, thinking human being that is paying attention.

20. At this point, anyone who isn't pissed off is either a candidate or brain-dead (or both).

17. Thanks so much for posting this swag...K&R...my God, if Matthews could sustain this behavior...
he could actually transform himself into an ideal of responsible journalism...and shame others by his simple example...

GO CHRIS!!!...you could actually become a saving force for the republic! Think about it...

19. She tried to turn it on Obama and Biden
by claim they say Joe Biden will be a foreign policy adviser to the Obama. Well I hate to tell her an adviser is something altogether different then a leader. The adviser gives a leader advice that the leader may or may not follow. The leader is the person that must make the ultimate call and be the person who is ultimately held responsible.

23. Wailing Palin seems to be describing the role of the Senate majority leader.
Or in the case of repukes, the Senate minority leader.

I think she got the VP and Senator roles mixed up in her head.

She has more important things to do then to understand what a VP does. You know also, like shopping and gutting a moose.

This is the 2nd time Mathews has impressed me. He brought up the air quotes about the Mother's Health at the last debate and then this. He is starting to sound like a real journalist.
