Matthews: “I’m thinking of bad names to call Michael Steele”

May 22, 2009

Chris Matthews gets things going with Michael Steele and terrorists coming to the mainland. Then Larry goes off about Cheney and Tenet and Pat Buchanan for believing them, who then reminds Larry that the Dems in the senate don’t what the detainees in their backyard.

CHRIS MATTHEWS:

I’m thinking of bad names to call Michael Steele because I don’t know what to say about this guy tonight. He’s accusing the President of “allowing terrorists into the United States.”…It is as close to a lie as I can think off.

O’DONNELL:

It’s breathtaking how stupid they can be in the way they talk about this, and Pat Buchanan, I guess, is the only guy left in America who believes these people when they talk. To believe Dick Cheney on this subject, when for credibility he goes to George Tenet.

GEORGE TENET WHO SAID IT WAS A SLAM DUNK THAT THERE WAS WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION IN IRAQ!

Those are the people you want to believe, Pat?!

Guy in the middle is laughing and so does Pat and MATTHEWS chimes in with:

We don’t do ad hominems here. We don’t do ad hominems here.

What? Is this a new policy? I don’t watch him anymore.

BUCHANAN then mocks Larry by saying you want stupid? I’ll give you the dem senators who don’t want them either.

MATTHEWS says they don’t want it because of the ads their opponents will make.

BUCHANAN:

Larry has already told you I’m the only one who believes that Chris. The ads won’t work against the heroic senators.

MATTHEWS has to put his head down so Larry won’t see him laughing, while the other guy has no problem laughing, nor does Pat.

ODONNELL meanwhile looks like he is going to explode and says what a disgraced CIA director Tenet is while the other three laugh.

Quote of the day: If Bill hadn't done what he did in South Carolina..."

Morning Joe

They're are talking about the campaigns - extolling the greatness of barry's campaign. He outspent and outraised Senator Clinton and they both got the same amount of votes. He out spent her in PA and she won by 10 points. He won 11 in a row and couldn't get the required amount of delegates. He never beat her. He was handed the nomination. Period.

BUCHANAN: [Sen Clinton] had one of the greatest comebacks I've ever seen in politics.

MIKA: Yeah, that was something.

BUCHANAN: April and May she's pounding that guy. [He looks at Watson] You're smiling now. You weren't smiling then.

CARLSON WATSON: Here's the truth and I hate to say this outloud. Her husband, I believe, loves her death. I think her husband wanted her to win - but I think if Bill hadn't done what he did in South Carolina, that comeback could have been complete.

And here's the greater truth. barry's camp went into South Carolina with a memo made up painting Sen Clinton as a racist. All set and ready to go before Mr Bill or anyone else said a thing. Their race-baiting strategy was going full force. He needed to get the black vote behind him and how better than to paint his opponent as a racist? How many you are aware of the memo? How about Mr Bill's actual statements and what lead up to them? What about Rev Jackson's comments that he was not offended and did not read anything into them?

It's all so tiresome and not worth going into. I'll find the links to the old posts.

Zinger of the day: "Got your vacation plans set?!"

Morning Joe
News You Can't Use

Willie's talking about a study naming the Most Promiscuous Countries. As it turns out UK is #1 followed by Germany, Netherlands, Czech Republic, Australia and then the US. UK? Teeth in the light of day...

MIKA: What? This is all not good.

MARK HALPERIN (He is a homely sort, isn't he? Like a friend invited over to fill a place at the table or a card game.): News Mika can't stomach.

Then Joe asks for the top three and after Willie answers Mika says: Got your vacations plans set?!

BUCHANAN jumps in: He's got his tour lined up!

MIKA: Can't believe it's Joe raising the bar on this conversation!

She occasionally gets a zinger in - albeit in a parallel conversation - while they talk over her. I find this show entertaining because of how Mika gets played and day after day she lets them. Does her husband find this funny, too?

Michael Moore endorses Obama

April 21, 2008
Dan Abrams Par Buchanan, Michelle Bernard, Rachel Maddow


Obama says him, Clinton or McCain would be better than Bush. Clinton mentions how Obama just gave a speech. True. Non-obamerized can't take the truth because they don't know what it is.
MOORE: Over the past two months, the actions and words of Hillary Clinton have gone from being merely disappointing to downright disgusting. I guess the debate last week was the final straw...So if you live in Pennsylvania, can you do me a favor? Will you please cast my vote - and yours - on Tuesday for Senator Barack Obama.

1 - He refers to obama as senator and not Sen Clinton.
2 - He trashes her as the reason why he is endorsing Obama.

Debate (4-15-08) As leaders we have a choice who we associate with and who we give a seal of approval to...reverend Farrakhan (4-14-97) Then they bring up a clip of Gov Rendell praising farrakhan 11 years ago when he wasn't backing her. It wasn't Hillary praising Rendell. She hasn't gone to the church of Rendell for 20 years. They really have no clue. There's no comparison. Their idiocy is striking bu the bots will believe anything.
