No one defended the Chimp last night on Hardball!
Tweety had his awful "Hardball Hotshots" segment with all right wingers save Ron Reagan and when they talked about this most recent leaking news none of the wingenuts stood up for the Chimpster. Olbermann's rating surge must be getting under Tweety's skin. I guess he's trying to get Delay's ballprints off his chin.

1. He always try to keep viewers off balance.......

He shills for the GOP for two days, then becomes somewhat neutral for one day, and then back again.

Keep watching him (if you want...I don't), and you'll see the yo-yo effect.

2. I've noticed that too!!
Is that to give him some "street cred" - so he can have some influence with people who aren't total freepers?

3. Of course.....
He doesn't want to be labeled "BIASED" although he is.....so this is cover for him. Keeps people tuned in....but he's a GOP shill, nevertheless!

5. Think it might be part of the plan?
I've been getting the feeling that the republicans
are cutting their losses and are the ones who
have the most immediate interest in B*sh's
downfall. The Libby stuff made the msm too
quick to be natural, imho. I'm not saying it
shouldn't have, but that other stuff has been
squelched a whole lot longer. I suspect they've
gone Judas all over his sorry ass.

6. He is always good
about the leak case. I usually can't stand him and had stopped watching long ago but I saw it when the Plame case was breaking after charges and Chris was very good. Strong. No excuses. Felt it was bigger then it was being treated. He covered it much better then any other shows.

On other topics I change the station but if it is this case I watch.He doesn't flip flop on this one.

7. and did you notice
when FRIST had his little press announcement over the failure to pass immigration bill - he was asked about the latest leak revelation and Frist refused to comment

It's was monty python/Holy Grail moment --- "Run away...Run away.."

congress is recessing - wonder how many will get an earful about bush* leaking?
