Bill Burton: the best barry liar of all

November 1, 2008
Hardball

Matthews is talking to the absolute best liar I have seen from any party all election cycle - Bill Burton. The key to reading him is a quick blink - he anticipates the question. He talks out of the side of his mouth - literally - and is a very fast thinker even up against hardball - thought hardball hasn't even come close to going after fellow obamerites....yet.

Burton would be best taken on blindsided from behind like slapping him on the back and asking him something where he can't read your face. It's almost like he grew up with a deaf family member.

The key is to keep questioning Burton and little bits keep coming out until he decides to settle on something. Surprisingly, Matthews kept at him and finally got him to admit something about barry's aunt - see update.

Matthews is wondering why barry keeps saying it's gonna get dirty in the last few days...they're gonna say things...watch out. Yeah, he's priming them for whatever the republicans have finally dug up. He knows what's out there. They all do. And when McCain or someone brings it up it will be oh their picking on waa-waa-waa oh-baaa-ma. They seem to have forgotten barry will have to go up against a non-obamerized press corps and they can't be whining then.

I predict howie fineman will be the first to turn - alter never.


barama matthews: about McCain and wright

he's been sort of a mood ring.
he's refused to play the race card with wright.
there has been a lot of disagreement.
i think McCain deserved the Nobel Peace Prize for not going with wright.

But that didn't stop him from hammering away at Se McCain just so barry could win. And everyone seems to forget that barry himself said wright was a legitimate campaign issue.
