Koppel's a jackass, but his actions had one good consequence...

[phillybri]

He got all of our candidates on the same side for once. That's a miracle in and of itself!!!

It's nice for everyone to have a common enemy. (Other than W, of course)

:dem:

1. Good consequence

The pols bashed the press, for a change. Nice.

2. And Paul Bergala called them all "candy asses!"

B/c they all didn't "attack" Dean. That is the exact kind of stupid, disrespectful crap we don't need. Because they chose not to attack their own and engage in a fruitless exercise they are "candy asses?" Bergala you're a dumb ass. Because we are on are way to fight a war and there is no sense in engaging in a costly, petty battle before! We're macrhing to win the White House & take back our country. YOU ARE EITHER WITH US OR GET OUT OF OUR DAMN WAY!

3. I didn't see what he said, but

I can see Begala's point. It's better to get any negatives out in the open now, rather than have them put out there by Rove with a multi-millionaire dollar prime time ad...

4. Begal is ...

... sooooo DLC and sooooo over :) I always liked Carville more anyway :evilgrin:

5. Koppel's a good man

i still like him though was disappointed in the way he moderated the debate. i expect more from someone like him, and i'm sure the candidates did also which is why they took issue with it directly with him unlike with the whores who have moderated previous debates. but koppel also doesn't take things personally and seems to enjoy being challenged the way he was. i think the candidates knew this also.
