I told John last night that I'm suffering from some serious primary fatigue. It's getting harder and harder to keep an eye on the coverage to find clips of analysis or speeches we haven't heard several times before. However, there's no question that this little exchange on MSNBC's primary coverage made me laugh. After John McCain's "victory" speech (?-public speaking is not the man's forte, to put in charitably) in Alexandria, Virginia upon hearing that he was the projected winner of all three Potomac primaries, Keith Olbermann had a little advice for the Republican candidate and Chris Matthews takes the award for the strangest/creepiest addition to his man-crush gushes:
OLBERMANN: John McCain, speaking after his three victories in the Potomac primaries tonight, from Alexandria, Virginia, to the tunes of "Johnny B. Goode," instrumental only-- and a statement that I hope transcends political orientation and party affiliation and all that. I would think, Chris, as we start to analyze what we’ve heard here. The rule has to be: if you can, always speak BEFORE Barack Obama, not after Barack Obama.
MATTHEWS: I have to tell you, you know, it’s part of reporting this case of this election, the feeling most people get when they hear Barack Obama speech…my…I felt this furrowing up my leg. And I don’t have that too often.
OLBERMANN: Steady…
MATTHEWS: No, seriously, it’s a dramatic event. He speaks about America in a way that has nothing to do with politics. It has to do with the feeling we have about our country and that is an objective assessment.

What exactly is a furrowing up one's leg?
And since when are feelings "objective assessments"?
Stay away from tweety, Keith. You never know what he has in his closet...
What the hell are these two doing teamed up?
Okay - getting a little queasy here. Definately time to give it up, Nicole.
I swear I'm going to have to move deep into the Amazon or something.
So he's a sensitive guy. Aren't we supposed to applaud that this day in age?

If you are in a stressful position where you can't think clearly, then you must exit the position.

Keiths shining achievment was the White House Correspondents Dinner.
I don't know if Bush ordered him to be taught a lesson or got water boarded as punishment but I don't get it anymore.
Maybe there was a gerbil furrowing up his leg.
I just hope that wasn't Olbermanns foot. Just kidding, seriously CM is creeping me out now big time..
How far up the leg did the furrowing go? Till his hand furrowed onto something else?
We didn't know - until now.
Okk .. that wasnt creeepy .. at all :))
It would be fair to agree with Matthews on his "..Obama speaks about America in a way that has nothing to do with Politics". He reminds me of Gandhi who had a higher purpose than just the liberation of his country. BO's rhetoric certainly does challenge people to bring forth their best.
Best of all, he doesnt 'play' the victim in any way, shape or form. He doesnt chnage his tune based onpolitical expediency.
Now will Hill cry at least once before the Tx primary? I wish C&L had posted Jon Stewart ripping apart the Clintons on their campaign tactics... (Bill's lies prior to the NV primary and her crying attempts).
Sensitive is one thing. Creepy oversharing is another.
I think Chris was mistaking urine running DOWN his leg as something "Furrowing" up his leg.
A common mistake when peeing one's pants
So this is someones idea of fair and balanced.
Keith and Tweety?
Good God please just implode the world into star dust Lord and save us.
All joking aside but those kinds of comments are what people say the effect that Reagan or Kennedy had on people with regards to stating their case.
Disagree with me on Reagan, but he was good at the whole speaking thing.
Furrowing "up" his leg?
Maybe something retracted. The thugs and their apologists exhibit strange sexual behavior. An inverse erection? After all, he couldn't quite come out and disown the boners McCain gives him.
Tweety takes the cake for weird expressions of enthusiasm.
Explanation:
Sen. Larry Craig(R-Pudslap, Idaho) was in the MSNBC studio for an interview and was found underneath the anchor desk.
-GSD
Breaking!
WASHINGTON - The checks aren't in the mail, but they will be soon. President Bush signed legislation Wednesday to rush rebates ranging from $300 to $1,200 to millions of people, the centerpiece of government efforts to brace the wobbly economy. First, though, you must file your 2007 tax return.
Clever. Since they don't have the money they will just send back what we send them on the Tax Return.
Wow how generous.
My husband talked about a shiver up his spine, but I don't think anything ran up his leg. Maybe there are mice in the msnbc studio?
i think chris matthews misses larry craig. xoxoxoxoxo slurp slurp
...furrowing up his leg?...what the...? Nope, can't even imagine what the hell he's referring too. What a weirdo.
revko @ 15:
Well, I suppose that could explain a spreading warm feeling!! :-D
"I felt this furrowing up my leg"
WTF!?
Peoples Front of Judea @ 25:
Thats the way insane people talk.
What the hell is Matthews saying? Is he saying Obama gives him an erection? Or am I just vulgar? Is there another way to understand this?
It was that oozy line of cum dripping down his leg...
Apparently Obama has been added to Chris's mancrush list...
What the f**k is this gossipy Queen Bee doing commenting on politics anyway?
Old Billy @ 27:
The hope is people will think about that for weeks instead of figuring out a way to get back the money the Cons have looted from us.
Old Billy @ 27:
Look, I'm a woman, so I don't own one of those things, but do they move up your leg when you get an erection? I mean, is that really how you'd describe it?
Okay, has anyone else actually listened to the clip? Sorry Nicole, but I did about 5 times and I don't hear "furrowing". I hear "thrill running up my leg". Not exactly better, but at least a little more sane (but just a little).
dON'T FALL FOR THE BAIT CROOKSANDLIARS. Remember how hillary won new hampshire. not the crying. The "Unbias left-wing media" bashing her. Then it worked so well there schuster tries it again. That trick will only work so many times. The media ia in the tank. the right sure does have representation. The left has no news. Just comedy shows. We have the internet instead. We are not told what to think, on the left. We merly choose our news sources
Be careful you do not get sucked into that gop game john. How are clintons lying propogandists for profit differant than bush's? What does the media have to gain or lose by each candidate? They stand to make millions in advertising and viewers with a constant scandel bush-like presidency, like clinton would provide. It's a business decision. Choosing money over country, like fox/rush the gop, is treason. Is was and always will be.
The media is not as dumb as they appear. You are trusted John. Don't sell us out to the anti-fox movement. MSNBC is turning into a mirror of fox. Don't join them. Stay independant. Stay a patriot.
Your the man john, keep up the great work. Just a suggestion
Fanon @ 30:
Up his leg? My God Fanon, what guys do you know...and can I have their numbers? ;)
t-wetty is a hilarious kinda jewel of MSNBC, keep him on teevee. have to tell you though, if i'm running the crazy grandpa campaign, i'd take keith's advice in a heartbeat. the victory speeches of McCain last night was not the worst but it was like watching someone giving a speech without sound. it was "muted speech". then thought I heard him saying he "would give us the freedom to think" when he becomes the president, I did not know "thinking" was outlaw around here. anyone heard that too? maybe I was in sleep after all.
Medias manipulating the sh*t out of people.
Matthews says that Obama "speaks ... with the feeling we have about our country..." Should not so-called experts and pundits such as Chris Matthews look more specifically at what candidates such as Obama say instead of speaking in such rhetorical flourishes? For example, it would more helpful for him to point out to his probably unaware audience that Obama has received, next to H. Clinton, the most contributions from corporate interests and Wall Street. Or that Obama, the supposed agent of change, wishes to increase the size of the American military by 100,000, a military which has rained down more death and destruction upon more Third World countries since the end of World War II [over seventy times since 1945].
Obama, the alleged anti-war candidate, has said that he cannot promise that he will remove all U.S. troops from Iraq till the end of his term, which would be the end of 2013. Will Chris Matthews tell his viewing public that Obama wishes to leave some troops in Iraq even after finally withdrawing American troops and that he proposes to leave some American forces in the region, which is not the best way to win the hearts and minds of the Iraqi people. Will Matthews inform his public that Obama wishes to keep the nuclear option open against Iran and that if Obama carries out his threat, many thousands of innocent Iranians will end up killed for no justifiable reason? Will Matthews let the people in on the fact that Obama's health care plan benefits the insurance companies and by doing that insures [pun intended] that profit is considered more important than the needs of the people?
Unfortunately, Chris Matthews is not alone in being impressed by this alleged agent of change, since Obama's policy recommendations are rarely held up to scrutiny. Obama's mantra of being an agent of change should be more accurately changed to an agent of the status quo.
Oh , jee-eeez. wwwrrolfff.
Strawberrybitch @ 33:
Maybe you should give Matthews a call. Apparently he has something *ahem* sizeable to offer....
Strawberrybitch @ 33:
Ummm... no. That's not how I would describe it, but I also wouldn't say, "and I don't have that too often." And, by the way, Fanon, no one really owns one of those things; you just kind of coexist.
Is there anything else he could mean? I like the gerbil idea, and its not out of the realm of possibilities that Craig or another closeted Republican has snuck under the table.
Erroll @ 36:
What's different with Clinton's plan or worse McCain's plans?
Erroll @ 36:
So... voting Kucinich?
Old Billy @ 39:
If he doesn't have it too often, maybe he will be the next Viagra spokesman?
Fanon @ 38:
Uchhhh! Forget the number, that thought just caused me to take a vow of celebacy.
Wow, there never seems to be a time when Tweety doesn't come off as creepy.
I say he should keep whatever he is feeling on his leg to himself!
L.A. Confidential @ 35:
Only escape I can see is baby's being born right now will rebel against their media addicted parents at some point by becoming Anti-Media.
Notice no mention of Hillary in this clip. There seems to be a movement in the media to a Obama/McCain race and Hillary is falling by the wayside. If Hillary loses the media coverage the more money she going to need to raise for media buys. It comes almost full circle if she loses the coverage then she'll start losing supporters than she'll start losing the contributions. This is becoming eerily similar to Rudy's campaign. Obama has the Mo but he needs to get the word out this is not over yet, like he did last night because the media can turn on a dime. They love a comeback story.
Widespread @ 1:
its kind of like coping a feel!
Still think tweety had an inverted erection. Kinda like inverted nipples, but much, much more painful (I'm assuming, since only tweety could describe common phenomenon with language never before heard in the natural world, or maybe he really has them).
Haha..Olbermann's Steady sounds like it comes from experience....that episode MSNBC never showed where an interview with Rudy ended up with Tweety jerking off on camera 3.
mcnote5150 @ 46:
I don't know why Clinton seemed to bail early on these primaries. It's proportional representation so margin of victory matters.
Obama beat Clinton among hispanics and union voters, and that kind of bodes poorly for Clinton.
The real story is that, for example, in Virginia, Clinton got 100,000 more votes than McCain did, and Obama beat Clinton 2 to 1. The races aren't decided for the Republicans either. It's just that the Democrats have much better candidates.
Does just hearing Obama speak give Tweedy a woody? Or hearing Obama speak about McCain as a war hero do it for him?
Inquiring minds want to know!
Holy crap.
Tweety said he felt a "thrill" running up his leg.
Fortunately I have a Medtronic Stimulator implant and turn it on when I feel things running up my leg!!
Obviously Obama gives tweety a hard-on.
MATTHEWS: No, seriously, it’s a dramatic event. He speaks about America in a way that has nothing to do with politics. It has to do with the feeling we have about our country and that is an objective assessment.
Indeed he speaks about America in a way that has nothing to do with politics, He speaks in a way that has everything to do with humanity :)
...talk about digging up nonsense in the name of critique.
Nicole, I beg of you, get a life... If this is the most significant thing you can say about a broadcast personality, you must have way too much time on your hands...
How about instead of picking on someone's expression you don't focus on Billary going negative today?
I smell another man crush coming on from Chrissie Matthews on Barack Obama.
Can we all just say "EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW..."
I just heard Hillary's rhetoric in a rally in San Antonio, TX "It is know that women are smarter and stronger than men... Dont you think its about time we had a woman president"...
Isnt that sexist to say? Would a man get away after saying that? Is that the president we want? Then why does she run around playing victim?
This rhetoric makes my skin crawl while BO's message inspires me.
A 'furrowing up his leg'?
Matthews is just admitting that he pops boners for male politicians now?
L.A. Confidential @ 9:
That was Stephen Colbert, not Olbermann
Cat Atomic @ 59:
First it was flight suits, then Aqua Velva, now Obama gives him a warm, fuzzy, furrowing feeling.
This guy needs to go see a movie or something, maybe take a cold shower
It is called an errection Chris.
You couldn't get Bill Clinton's and you are not going to get to Obama's.
Just gross. I don't watch MSNBC anymore but now I am even getting sick of reading about it.
"Creepy"? Isn't that the kind of judgmental fluff usually fired off by the intolerant bible-thumping whiners when faced with uncomfortable expressions of homo erotic lust? (Whether or not recognized by the utterer.)
It was a little strange, I'll grant you. Anyone could see that. But "Creepy". No, I'll not stoop to that level. Had he started gushing over the lock of Obama's hair he "scored" at the rally, which he was going to place at the center of the "Obama Shrine" he keeps between his bed and his gun rack, that would be creepy.
This is just strange and a little sad. I feel for the guy. I hope he works it out.
Old Billy @ 41:
As Kucinich has correctly pointed out in the past, voting for the lesser of two evils is still voting for an evil, which in Obama's case, would mean voting for a candidate who is less than truthful when he claims to be an agent of change. The hope is that progressives and liberals do not end up being fooled by Obama's attempt to paint himself as a liberal or, even worse, as an anti-war candidate.
I'm glad Chris had the courage to admit it. I get the same feeling when I hear Obama speak.
I think CM felt a Tribble run up his leg. They'll do that you know.
Anyone notice the return of Joe Scarborough this morning? Seemed strange that he was on holidays this week with all these primarys etc.don't you think?? I wondered if he was being punished along with shuster after the shameful way he treated him last week. Joe showed no remorse , coming back today , yelling and bloviating in his own arrogant way. A bull in a china shop , all the way.
I heard that and I thought - "what a fucking weirdo!" Keith had that look like: 'Yeah, I could do a special statement on your ass too.' I thought Tweety was going somewhere way out of bounds, but KO saying "Steady" may have convinced him to change direction like NOW. fucking dumb shit.
And Joe Scarborough gives white poor trash a good name. What a low-class gutter snipe he is, that one.
He didn't say he felt a "furrowing up my leg", he said he felt a "thrill going up my leg". This is the third time Nicole has misquoted someone like this and I'm beginning to think she is hard of hearing or something.
anon-e-muss @ 69:
See now you gone an' done it... your comments are going to be deleted..
Its funny C&L moderators remind me of Richard Jeni's line "... these are the sensitive liberal people who are always yelling about worried about everybody's Freedom of speech and expression, unless of course you say something that pisses them off, then they cant wait to ..."
And when I say 'pisses them off' I dont mean abuse.. just disagreement :)
You can find it on youtube.. 'richard jeni political parties' ..
He was trying to describe the feeling we got when JFK spoke. I had similar reactions, but I'd have to say that his is a whole different balls game.
Just spewed miso soup all over my desk. Thanks a hell of a lot Keith.
I've got an awful mess to clean up over here.
anon-e-muss @ 69:
Thank you! Seriously, you need to correct the transcript C&L. This reminds me of when people kept falsely quoting Gore as claiming he "invented the Internet." Never said it, but as long as people kept repeating it, there was nothing he could do.
It could be that he has sacbies or his peripheral neuropathy is acting up/ Chris seek out a doctor now.
Tim in Japan @ 72:
Yeah, my wife didn't understand why I was laughing so hard at that. KO's pulling Tweety's leash !
Advice for K.O.
When Tweety talks about his rising man-crushes, slide your chair slowly away.
Just saying...
nacho_candidate @ 73:
Yep, it seems clear to me that he's saying "thrill", not "furrowing". Doesn't make it any less weird.
Did anyone catch Brian Williams afterward making fun of Chris for it??
If I felt a "furrowing up my leg" my first thought is BLOODCLOT! I suggest that Tweets get to a physician right away.
Obama refers to "us" together - "we" can solve our problems and correct the wrongs the Bush admin and decades of neglect and abuse have caused.
Clinton approach is to come in as a manager and says she herself will take care of our problems which is obviously the opposite of Obama.
That's why she's losing to him.
OLBERMANN: The MOST-LEAST-WATCHED Democrat HACK on the tube....
MATTHEWS: Former speechwriter for the demodumbfuks with a quivering leg for an empty suit with an incredible ( but absolutely worthless ) control of the English language.
TONS of credibility from these two "bowl trophies"....
Fuck both of 'em....
...a furrowing up my leg"!?
When you speak dear Chris
I feel there's something that’s amiss!
It might be your manner,
It might be your spit,
Whatever it is
I wish you’d quit!
Matthews is gay. What else is new?
jules @ 67:
He looked like someone slapped him silly! Sweet justice at its finest! LOL!!!
MSM Spin: Hillary Clinton is using the "Giuliani strategy" by using Texas and Ohio as her firewall!
Fact: Giuliani won how many states again? I would hardly call this a "Giuliani strategy!"
While the MSM was gloating over Obama's "big win" in a 3 small state primary...
(In states that do not matter to the core Democratic base like the big states Hillary has won such as FL, CA, MA, NJ, NY, AR, TN, NV, AZ, NH, MI and she will win TX, OH & PA!)
Hillary Clinton went on to El Paso, TX to start campaigning in TX and received a very warm and GRANDE welcome befitting of a Queen! Real Royalty!
Hillary Clinton did not announce her visit until a few days ago to EP, TX and she filled up a 12,000 seat arena to full capacity! She was treated like a REAL rock star! Not some staged circus act being sold by the Obama Camp!
There was also a fundraiser that raised over $125,000 for Hillary Clinton in one day! El Paso’s TX State Senator Elliott Shapliegh and Congressman Sylvestre Reyes is also supporting her along with The Veterans of El Paso, and we have one of the biggest military bases in the country, Ft. Bliss!
When Michelle Obama came to the border in Las Cruces, NM, (45 miles away and a “huge college” town) she only had a small crowd of about 500 people! She also announced it in plenty of time for people to be aware of her speaking!
So I don’t know how the rest of TX is, but Hillary has EP in the bag and she will have the rest of the state if we get out there and support her!
The date to register to vote has already passed in TX, so Obama can “move” and “rally” all he wants, but if they are not registered to vote, then they are not voting! We also do not have to claim what political party we belong to so what people say and do are two different things. There may be a lot of “excitement” and “support” for Obama in TX, but Hillary Clinton has a lot more history in TX than Obama does and that is with the “registered” voters!
I think he's saying "I feel this thrill going up my leg." As to the charge that Chris Matthews is gay... gay people don't talk like that. Creepy people talk like that.
Matthews needs Thorazine. Lock the guy up.

StirFry @ 75:
Just going to second that: Steadyyy.......... lol that was some funny stuff
me ranting - another guy that won't shut up
Yeah, it was definitely "thrill running up my leg".
Time for some hearing aids Nicole.
... actually ... "thrill GOING up my leg". Yeah, that's it.
skycypher @ 80:
Based on the INACTION by the "us" and "we" during Bush's tenure, I don't see "us" and"we" doing a damn thing should Obama win. You might be riding a tidal wave now but remember the sea will calm. So get your oars ready.
Matthews is really just plain weird. Who could possibly care what Matthews has crawling up or down his leg? I would like to see some cable news channel such as MSNBC to just be strait and read the news without the partisan polemics for a change. If I want news, I can get more substance from the Daily Show with a chuckle besides.
As Kucinich has correctly pointed out in the past, voting for the lesser of two evils is still voting for an evil, which in Obama’s case, would mean voting for a candidate who is less than truthful when he claims to be an agent of change. The hope is that progressives and liberals do not end up being fooled by Obama’s attempt to paint himself as a liberal or, even worse, as an anti-war candidate.
Obama is not an anti-war candidate - he's not liberal. He has been working with Condi Rice to try to cool off what's going on in Africa - Kenya. He made the statement "U.S. troops are needed to settle the turmoil...." Well, he does have several uncles and a grandmother that live in Africa. I guess he wants them safe.
L.A. Confidential @ 5:
LOL! I was thinkin Costa Rica...but too many damn Americans!
And I think Matthews is losing his mind...MSNBC needs to show more Olbermann, and MUCH less Matthews.
Where do i begin? There are countless openings.
John McCain is no hero and anyone who maintains that needs to have his/her head examined.
I have the opportunity, at different times and places, to address large groups of people on important issues. I don't take that task lightly and although many Republicans and Democrats will dub my comments irresponsible and radical, believe me, I know what I'm talking about and I don't bite my tongue. As this Election 2008 hystery reaches its frenzied end the main participants will say and do anything to get elected. It Is a well-known and unfortuante fact that the american citizenry has been dumbed down to an extent to where they know little or nothing about current events and, for the most part, nothing about history in general. We're not talking about Ancient History here but events that may have transpired in their own lifetimes or even last week for that matter. You ring a bell and they salivate. Point them in the right direction and the rest is a cakewalk to oblivion.
The politicians brazenly take advantage of that state of affairs.
It was on this very website that I read a quote from Cicero, I believe, and I'll paraphrase, "He who does not know history is destined to remain a child". What a true statement. Concise and condemning. But somehow, I must admit, that quote, while true, is a little unfair to children because it seems to me that my eight-year old has more sense than that being displayed by all of these political buffoons. Senator Gravel spoke the truth and was shunted off to the side, pure and simple. So much for honesty.
This present group of presidential candidates can't go two minutes without running the risk of exposing themselves and highlighting their hypocrisy.
For those of you who don't know about or have no clue as to my own limited experience then suffice it to say I happen to be a Viet Nam Vet. Been there, done that. Now we have Barrack Obama praising a war criminal who participated in a crime against humanity, the Viet Nam War. That should come as no surprise because for Obama the "Nuclear Option" is still on the table. Now that bodes well for our children and grand-children, wouldn't you agree? What audience is he playing up to. What sinister forces is he attemtping to reassure? Yes Boss, No Boss. I don't want to gang up on just Barrack, all of them come from the same mold. They say one thing and then do another. I'm still waiting for them to take that slave-owning SOB George Washington off the dollar bill.
I had a talk with some friends of mine and it's amazing how they respond. "Darnell, they plead, these are intelligent people you're talking about." Well maybe, just maybe we should contemplate redifining what people believe intelligence really is. Because I see an amazing lack of it in their putrified political arena.
There's a lot at stake here in this next circus they call an election. This could be their last go-around. Everything is reaching critical mass. The Economy, the Environment, the WAR!!! Let's not forget about the WAR. The War all of them started. The War they all financed. The War they all secretly profit from and continue to support, no matter what they say.
This is an excerpt from a speech I had the honor of giving 2 years ago in Munich, Germany(not somewhere in Texas or Pennsylvania). In this speech I spoke about Sen. McCain and what he represents.:
"....................They sell you a one-way ticket to hell. They lie to them just to suck them into the system, just like they lie to you. You say, "no that's not my government, I'm German." but your government is sleeping in the same bed with the US at a cheap hotel called NATO. That's a devious game that they play. Pitting us all against each other. That's right. When they lie and get away with it they insult our intelligence and take away our dignity. That's unacceptable no matter how you look at it. They’ve been lying and killing every one of the 58 years that I've lived.
But there is hope and my standing up here is a sign of that.
The NATO Countries are meeting here in Munich to plan their next military Adventure. For those who've been saying this is not about oil, you're wrong, so terribly wrong. But this is more than just about oil. Oil is just part of the problem. It's about every natural resource on this planet. They want to secure any and everything they need to keep their machine running and their system intact.
I don't know who is really responsible for the brutal attack on the WTC but I have my suspicions. I smell a rat. Shortly after that attack on the WTC September 11, 2001, AMERINATO, that's America and all of the members of NATO, started to attack Afghanistan. If you see one the other is not far away. Afghanistan, one of the poorest nations on the face of the Earth. Why? These poor countries have something they have to have, something these industrial countries cannot live without: everything. I'm not a pacifist but I believe in peace. Peace on this planet is as far away as Pluto. We all know that peace is not a reality at this time.
These people who have power and influence over us teach us to hate anyone who is not like us, and in the end they teach you to hate yourself for not being like “them”. They want to give you the feeling that there's nothing you can do to challenge them. They want us to believe that they are all powerful and invincible. They have some people believing that, but I know it isn't true.
Just to show you how twisted they all are, they’ve invited John McCain who is also a Viet Nam veteran to this conference. He was a pilot during the war and was shot down over North Viet Nam while on a bombing mission. He was bombing innocent men, women and children. He was destroying lives, killing people, and now they want to give him an award for coming out against torture.
What a joke. He's not against torture. He wants to skip that step and just kill them all. He spent a few years as a prisoner of war in Viet Nam and then was released and allowed to go back the US. So the media made this murderer a hero and gave him a seat in the U.S. Senate so he could spread his venom, his poison. John McCain, kiss my ass. They’re doing the same thing today that they did during the Viet Nam War. Lie. They lied from start to finish and guess what, NATO was right there with them with Germany playing a pivotal role.
In closing allow me to state that I can’t say this often enough,
They want to destroy the world, We want to save it.
That's the difference between us and them.
Thank you."
Its the new news. All we will hear about news-wise this year is the election. There is no war, no economy or any other issue as important to American viewers. Oopps! There is no other issue cheaper for news organizations to cover. No investigative reporting necessary. Get a talking head from one side to argue with one from the other. Then inject your in-depth half paragraph witticism and there you have it - the nightly news. Just spout the press releases you have received and the American people have been informed.
I'm having a hard time remembering the last major story broken by a real journalist. Or at least one that wasn't thrown off the airwaves within 10 minutes of the latest Brittony/Paris stunt.
spero @ 6:
Naw- he just has a sensitive leg. Like Katherine Harris, I guess.
Man LA Confidential, do you have to always have to be so doom and gloom? Remember that final scene in Dr. Strangelove with Slim Pickens riding the nuke? Or the full title of the flick and it's main theme? The more things change, the more they stay the same...
Considering that the concession speech typically preceeds the victory speech, I have to agree with Tweety - I hope McCain does speak before Obama.
after work, chrissie goes cruising in the bathrooms at La Guardia Airport.
NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.
Is that guy married? (I use 'guy' guardedly.)
A couple of points: First - Fuck John McCain and his handlers for stealing the greatest rock n roll song ever written. Chuck Berry should sue their asses! Second - Tweety's getting weirder by the day. "Furrowing up my leg"?? Is that sort of like, code, for admitting he wacks off to Barack Obama speeches? Kinky!(It's OK Tweety. I understand. Once you've tried Barack, you'll never go back!).
skycypher @ 80:
There's more to Hillary losing than that. LOOK AT THIS!
CoIntelPro @ 52:
Why can't you guys handle Chris Matthews' positive comments? I'm not necessarily a fan of him or anything, but I think it's cool that he's ok with showing emotion and excitement over politicians. You guys are a bunch of homophobes if you can't handle that.
Keith Olbermann was against the war from the beginning.....lets nominate him for President! LOL!!!
