I just wish Tim Russart were here to enjoy all this. If Chris Matthews has these people squirming, I can’t imagine what Tim would have done!

by way of palin’s vast foreign policy experience due to her living in close proximity to Russia, all she would have to do to be an expert on the Constitution is spend a little time in the same room as one – no reading necessary.

why didn’t tweety make this big a stink about this issue when cheney created the fourth branch of government out of whole cloth? Tweety’s right of course about the idiocy of palin, but he should have been making at least as big a stink over cheney. I don’t listen to tweety because he is such a jerk, but I listen to enough other stuff that I’m pretty sure I would have heard about him railing against cheney if it happened.

Conclusive proof of Alien Abduction! Aliens kidnap conservative reporter and replace him with a duplicate with an Actual Working Brain! Here’s hoping that the aliens let him stick around!

I like Matthews, but I have to say that his “through Neiman’s, and through Saks” comment crossed a line.

Matthews wasn’t being sexist with that remark. He was commenting on how the RNC had taken Mrs. Palin on a shopping spree in NYC to the tune of $150,000

Not to mention that the guy footing the bill was none other than Jeff Larson, the one who’s company is making all of those shameful “robocalls.”

Wow, this is the tweety I used to enjoy watching. He’s been lied to by too many Republicans and I think he’s figured out what it is to be a journalist again.

LOVE IT! He destroyed Palin and he left Pfot in tatters. He was right. Palin was OFF BASE and everybody knows it. This is what should be happening on TV News. Just got back from the UK where the news anchors stick it to public figures like this on a daily basis. BRAVO!!!

At first I felt kind of bad of Pfot., but then realized they’re being ruthless in sliming Obama. They suddenly want people to be ‘fair’ with them?

Forget it. Matthew took her apart and he should have.

Tweety built his career attacking Bill Clinton and Democrats. He was totally disrepectfull to Mrs. Edwards and Clinton. He called Obama everything but the N word. When Sarah stepped in on the scene Tweety was drulling.

I guess MSNBC is looking over resumes so Tweety wants to keep his job. The only people Tweety is fooling are those who don’t know him. Sarah had allowed Americans and the Journalist to know she doesn’t read anything but a Starbuck cup. Tweety knows Sarah doesn’t read so by suggest that she read the Constitution it would take Sarah hundreds of years to learn to read that we just don’t have time.

I don’t think there’s any need to read too much into this. Tweety is not an idiot and, as a reasonably rational man, he doesn’t want a pair of idiots in the White House. Much like me, I think he has realized the GOP’s results suck and they promise to keep sucking. It’s not really much of a choice.

Then, of course, there is the surreal nature of the GOP candidates. Who would have guessed that John McCain/2000, despite his inherent faults, would transform into the Reichwhiner tool he is Today?

And that awful woman from Alaska is a freakin’ cartoon character for 3rd graders! If the stupid (bleep!) is talking to 3rd graders during interviews she should run for baby sitter, though I wouldn’t leave her with kids.

PS. Did I just hear that the Palins are going to donate the $75,000-? worth of clothes, and lord knows what, the RNC bought at Niemans and Sax to charity?

Is there a Cliff Notes Constitution version or maybe the U.S. Constitution for Dummies available for a quick read?

I’m sure that’s her preferred learning procedure.

Perhaps if Ms Palin were to ingest a few copies of the Constitution, she might get some via osmosis.

I’m glad he’s not in my state or district I can’t imagine him in any elected office.
The last 8 years have proved that the lack of qualifications often has no relation to electability.
I live in Arizona and hold out a small hope that McPander can be beaten even here, it would be a very very sweet victory if he were to lose his home state

I believe the most disturbing part of that video was Nancy pFotenhauer stating that she has 5 kids. That sent an icy chill down my spine.

Just saying . . .

Matthews has only been going on the hard questions once he saw where there has been opportunity for him to “look” like a reporter of some sort or another.

Plus, he knows that they cannot answer a question straight on, it’s not how repukes do thing..that why the “Straight Talk Express” isn’t straight talk, it’s BS flung to the audience to see what sticks.
