Hardball Award: Never Refrain from Asking for What You Believe is Yours...

The Hardball Award given by Tweety goes to Roland Burris. Tweety explains that Burris made Reid deny him his Senate seat. He says that the lesson is to make the other person tell you "no" when you ask for something that you believe is yours. In other words, Burris wants his seat and will not tell him "no" to himself. I agree with Tweety. You get ahead by asking for and getting something that is yours.

2. Just saw that - I too admire Burris for going after what he wants...

...and doing it with a good attitude and style.

3. I like Tweety a hell of a lot better since he announced that he wasn't running for Senate (PA).

:thumbsup: :-)

4. What

was the point of Chris replaying the same Palin clips that he showed yesterday, only this time marveling that she is "brilliant and the real deal", and trying to make the case that her approval ratings are at "80%". Whatever.

8. Tweety is a political schizophrenic and a rating whore

Whatever brings in the viewers is what he will do.

No insult to actual schizophrenics out there.

10. And as a saleswoman let me add...

... make them say "no" TWICE! ;-)

(and then after they say "no" the second time, make a face as if to say you are REALLY worried for their welfare because of their decision)
