OMG! Contessa just chewed up Joe Watkins!
She played the ad about Obama and sex education that McCain made. She said it was about sexual predators. First he tried to go back to the

pig and lipstick story, and she wouldn't let him. Then she repeated her question and asked him if that ad was fair since the bill was about sexual predators.

He would say sex eduation and she would interrupt and say sexual predators. He did get a little in at the end, but then she went to a breaking story.

The Obama spoksperson, Jennifer Palmieri, looked liked she was going to hoot!:applause:

1. Yeah, that was nice to watch.
She even had a look of disbelief on her face when the woman after Joe started in on the whole sexism angle.

5. Don't you love the hypocrisy?
they always say that Hillary played the sexism card, but that
is all they are doing here ever since Palin surfaced. I like
Contessa's question about this setting women back in the long
run!!!

7. Contessa was on a roll today. Earlier she was talking to an
Obama surrogate about Palin being sequestered from the press and when it was all over, Contessa said 'equal rights also means equal responsibility'. I was shocked.

8. He's easy prey. There are few more vacuous and logic-free ass-kissers than Joe.
That said, Contessa has been kissing enough ass for any three anchors ... so I'm surprised. I'm betting Joe was, too.

9. Thank goodness! Go Contessa!
The truth is the truth and I am glad to see some members of the media not afraid of being labeled left or right. The truth has no angle and if we can't agree on that then God help this country. I saw Tamryn Hall give some GOP hack a total break this morning while I was screaming at the TV to bust some Repuke from OK who was spreading this kindergarten sex ed BS. Glad to see Contessa is on it.

10. Thanks for the good news. He's had it coming. Such nasty neo-con smugness cries out
for a swift kick in the rear.

Glad to know she got one in there.

It won't chasten him, but it can't hurt!

12. So, about the media's seeming turn in the last day or so....
I wonder if they realize, just as we do, that Palin is a different animal.

Unlike Bush and McCain who simply pandered to the wingnuts, she IS one. And, how that may affect their jobs -- and their personal lives -- if she were in office could be at play here.

They are very reactionary...however the wind blows...but her candidacy maybe scaring the shit out of people, including the media, however corrupt and complicit they may be.

13. The last time the Repubs pushed a Culture War during the convention
Edited on Wed Sep-10-08 03:04 PM by Mike Daniels
they got their asses handed to them by Clinton.

I can only hope that Palin's background is now causing the press to reevaluate her image and that they're determined to cast some light since she's not willing to agree to any appearances that are non-scripted.

15. I agree...but what if...
what if they keep Palin behind closed doors, so to speak. We
already know that she won't go on certain talk shows because
she can't handle the heat; so if they talk her up and make her
seem like the 'Almighty', people will fall into her
'wholesome' image. This lady gives us sane people a bad vibe,
she is hiding a whole lot and I want it to be known.

14. Ms. Brewer is the emodiment of the non-functional clock's twice a day correctness.
Apart from that, she is a waste of skin.

Did you catch her coverage of Gustav's New Orleans arrival? In her gym shortz. Catching an errant palm frond on the back of her freshly waxed legs and then complaining of that on live teevee.

16. She chewed him up real good. But I'm suspicious-
It's as if the MSM got the green light to go after McCain. So many "brave" reporters on the same day...
