Chuck Todd and David Gregory are on Harball DEFENDING Hillary for her "tearful" chat today.

[in_cog_ni_to]

:wow: They defended her. They said it was a sincere moment. She's had a bad week and it's probably just catching up to her. They didn't trash her at all. Gregory said her reaction to the question about her "not being likable" at the debate the other night was a natural reaction. Anyone's feelings would be hurt. It's a normal human emotion. They are being sympathetic.:wow:

Are they feeling guilty for slamming her for months on end and bringing her down? Tweety's show has been a Hillary trash fest for the last 2 months.

1. I can't believe Todd is defending her.

Can't stand that guy.

5. Chuck Todd's wife works on the Edwards campaign.

:) He had to disclose that one night before he started discussing politics on MSNBC as their political director.

13. Jeesh,

They really are all in bed together!

[in_cog_ni_to]

15. They ARE! And all these talking heads also go to parties with and hang out with the Washington

politicians in their private time. It's all VERY cozy, isn't it? The only people kept out of that loop ......... THE PEOPLE of this country.

16. News like that really shouldn't surprise me.

But it does every time!

[maddezmom]

2. wow, that's a bit shocking

:wow:

3. surprized to hear Todd say that. He and Tweety are clinton trashers to no end. Gregory, I am

not aware of his stance.

but, sure am glad to hear this.

6. Todd's wife works on the Edwards campaign. n/t

4. They wanted a weak Hillary to run against the GOP

and they got more than they bargained for by helping minimize her...they set themselves up for a horserace they don't want.

8. :) Me thinks you're right! They had better be careful or the sympathy vote will put Hillary

in the WH.:)

[BlueManDude]

10. I agree - they've trashed her too soon.

and put Obama in the driver's seat.

[leftchick]

7. does not surprise me in the least

Big Media Corps give Big Bucks to Hill.

[fascisthunter]

9. That's What They Do

it's all a show. KEEP YOU GUESSING, WONDERING AND WATCHING LONG ENOUGH TO SEE ANOTHER COMMERCIAL.

sorry about the caps.

[milkyway]

11. I agree with them. I'm quite disappointed in Edwards statement. Some reports

made it seem like Hillary broke down bawling, but in watching the video on the Intertubes I can't even see anything much at all. Like Dean in '04, once you're down the media can't wait to pounce on whatever little thing they can find. They get so excitied it seems like one big national circle jerk.

[in_cog_ni_to]

12. She didn't even shed a tear! I saw the video. All she did was get a little choked up....

BIG FUCKING DEAL.

[Emit]

14. What was Edwards' statement?

No cable here. Thanks in advance.

[milkyway]

17. "I think what we need in a commander-in-chief is strength and resolve,

and presidential campaigns are tough business, but being president of the United States is also tough business."

http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalradar/2008/01/rival-reacts-to.html

He even uses one of bush's favorite words, "resolve." Their might even be some backlash in NH to this tomorrow..

[Emit]

18. Well

I read taht really quickly, but could it be the way ABC reported it?

"Edwards offered little sympathy and pounced on the opportunity to question Clinton's ability to endure the stresses of the presidency..."

Pounced?

[question everything]

19. Thank you. I choose not to wach Matthews

asking questions and then shouting down his guests but I respect Gregory and Todd.

But as we have seen even on DU - the woman is damned if she shows emotions and damned if she does not.
