WTF is wrong with Chuck Todd? He wants to be a smartass..

[SuperTrouper]

trying to embarrass Gibbs about the so-called Oathgate :mad:

Chuckie just wants to hear himself talk

[sabra]

1. Chuck: What about transparency?

like this is the biggest issue pressing the American people :crazy:

[Spazito]

2. Looks like Chuckie is trying to "make his bones" by being a Gregory ass...

not working for me.

[WinkyDink]

27. Head. Nailed.

[polichick]

3. He's a bit contentious today.

[ClarkUSA]

4. He got smackdowned by Gibbs, though... and looked embarrassed afterwards.

I agree he loves the sound of his own voice. Watch for him to toot his own horn on NBC/MSNBC later.

[firedupdem]

All the issues we have going on in the world and these fuckers

want to talk about the oath. How dumb and ignorant. I really hate that the oath was bobbled. I'm starting to get really pissed off with this shit.

[City Lights]

24. Off topic, but I *love* your sig pic!

:thumbsup:

[CatWoman]

5. Todd is a dick of the highest order

I remember him when he was with "Hotline".

He was a regular on "Washington Journal" and ALWAYS attacked and bad mouthed Dems.

ALWAYS.

[HeeBGBz]

6. He appears to be a dick.

Smartass twit

[sohndrsmith]

7. shoot I missed it.... what did he say?

hopefully there will be clips of that part of the Q and A later - Todd will certainly want that to happen... I'll have to catch it then.

[Lucian]

8. He wants to feel important.

[rufus dog]

9. He is a fucking ass

The Constitution was shredded over the past eight years, the economy is at a dangerous low and this ass wants to talk about an oath and why it wasn't public?

[BattyDem]

10. NOW they care about transparency?!?

8 years of secrets and no one said two freakin' words about it! :grr:

Hey Chuckie, here's the deal:

The WH council didn't think there was a problem but he took the oath again in order to shut up the assholes who kept insisting he wasn't really the President. I assume there was no video for one very simple reason: they wanted the oath on January 20th to be the "official" record. If there were two videos, there would be two "official" records and there's no reason for that. You got the pictures ... you got the audio ... Obama is the President. Get over it and let it go! :eyes:

20. Really..did they give dana perino

or tony shit like this?

[Cha]

11. chuckie or anyone doesn't stand a chance

against our Robert Gibbs..he has the truth on his side.

[NYCGirl]

12. Chris Cilizza (of The Fix blog on WaPost) just wrote this on Twitter about Todd:

"Chuck Todd is the early favorite for White House press comedian."

[Kahuna]

15. Gotta love Chris Cilliza. For such a young man, he is much more

mature than his media brethren.

[panAmerican]

19. Agreed. He's one of the few pundits who

don't take themselves too seriously. Frank Rich is of that ilk, too, and I enjoy reading him in NYT or watching him on Rachel's show.

[Captain Hilts]

22. You've got to go back and read Rich circa '99-'00 and you'll change your mind. nt

[Kahuna]

13. He came off as a stupid, petty, jerk. nt

[Bobbie Jo]

14. Chuckie's first briefing: FAIL nt

[SuperTrouper]

17. LOL! You forgot to add EPIC as in EPIC FAIL

:rofl:

[Dennis Donovan]

16. Dumbest line of questioning in the entire 1st presser...

Chuck looked like the rookie he is,:eyes:

[EFerrari]

23. He's a passive agressive creep. I've never liked him very much. n/t

[DangerousRhythm]

26. Agreed. He came off as a dick, basically, over NOTHING.

He's completely ridiculous and so is whatever the hell he was insinuating. Ugh.

[MadBadger]

18. What was his question?

[Kahuna]

21. Argued with Gibbs, that if the first oath was legit, why did they

feel the need to readminister it? And since they saw the need to readminster it, why wasn't Obama going to resign the EOs? Oy! Then asked why was it done in private, even though I've seen several videos of the retaking of the oath. Oy!

[rvablue]

28. Agreed. But I take issue with you claiming you've seen "several videos" of the retaking of the oath

because there aren't any.

Prove me wrong with a link.

[Kahuna]

29. STFU. You're calling me a liar????? I know what I saw because I

generally keep my tv on MSNBC most of the day. If you want to see it, watch for yourself. It may be a still shot with a voice over, but THAT is on video and it has been shown on MSNBC over and over.

P.S. And when Keith and or Rachel show the video tonight, you owe me a sincere apology.

[TheKentuckian]

33. I've seen pictures but I'm not shure if they were of the moving variety

I could stomp a mudhole three feet deep in Reichberts for screwing this up and creating this stupid nontroversy.

[rvablue]

34. That's right. It was still shot with taped audio. It was not a "video." Big Difference!

And you watch yourself. You obviously have quite a temper on you.

And I won't be apologizing for anything because Keith and Rachel will not be showing any video because it doesn't exist.

They may however, show the photo and play the audio tape. But there won't be a video.

[Phx_Dem]

31. The O-team should have said he was retaking the oath because

it wasn't done exactly right the first time and Obama likes things to be exactly right so he retook it. End of non-story. They never shoud have used the "upmost of caution" bullshit line.

In fact, that probably is part of the reason. Obama strikes me as a perfectionist and I'm sure it was eating at him that his oath was messed up. It would have bugged me and I'm not a perfection.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

25. What a pompous ass.

[kenny blankenship]

30. Wants to be a smartass? Well he's got the last half of that licked.

[Dinger]

32. he is pissed that he didn't get timmy's MTP spot

That's it in a nutshell
