Howie Dean is tearing up Tweety

[malaise]

on the polling data

[bobbolink]

1. Keep up the truthtelling, Dean!

You've done an exemplary job for We, The People, and I pray for your strength to keep it up in what must be very discouraging circumstances.

[me b zola]

2. I'll have to watch it @ 4pm

But recommended for Dr Dean hitting back at all of the ridiculous spin. I haven't been able to watch any news because the spin was making me nauseous.

3. Dean!

When Dean was running the party, Democrats won elections...

[bobbolink]

7. And Obama was so "brilliant" he couldn't figure that out.

Wonder if he is beginning NOW to get an inkling....

[Raine]

4. Love how Dean told Tweety to look in the mirror!

Tweety was acting like an ass.

[Grand Taurean]

5. Tweets jumps on the bandwagon.

In 1942 Matthews would have backed the Axis, by late 1944 Matthews would have been with the allies.

[Sebastian Doyle]

14. I can just picture that actually

"You know, when I look at Hitler in his uniform, I get this tingle going right up my leg...."

[ShortnFiery]

17. I'll never forget how Tweets loved Dubya's manly facade on the Air Craft Carrier.

:crazy:

[11 Bravo]

6. "When I was head of the DNC, we were winning those special elections."

Hard to refute the truth.

[bobbolink]

10. It must be breaking his heart to see his hard work thrown to the dogs like this.

:hug: for Dean

[old mark]

20. It sure is breaking mine. nt

8. MSNBC now

Howard Dean speaking sense to a brick wall.

Tweety is so dense!

9. Tweety doesn't get it.

If I understood Dean correctly, he said his polling last night (after the election) showed 18%
of Democrats voted for Brown in order to send a message to Obama in favor of the public
option and other economic and policy concerns. What Tweety didn't seem to get is that two
groups voted for Brown for different reasons.

11. I hope the interview gets posted in the video section so I can view it. n/t

12. Dean totally blew it in one respect, though

Tweety kept asking why people would vote against Martha Coakley because they wanted a public option and she said she was for the public option. He did well pointing to their polling data that showed the Obama voters who went for Brown or stayed home were those who wanted a public option. But, as Tweety kept saying why would they not vote for her when she was for the more progressive bill and supported a public option, the answer is there is no public option in the Senate bill and she said she would vote for the Senate bill. The polling that showed people who did not vote for her were the ones who wanted a public option was about the fact that she said she would vote for the bill, which everyone knows, does not have and will not have a public option in it. She was ahead when she, initially, said she would vote against the Senate bill. She tanked after she was pressured by the WH to say she would vote for the bill.

16. Hey even one each "Superman" communicator can't fit it all in when Tweety's spewing interruptions

and spittle at mind numbing speed. :shrug:

[laughingliberal]

18. True but they all need to hear that Coakley was winning when she opposed the Senate bill

that was too conservative for a lot of the MA voters.

[NorthCarolina]

13. I was surprised though that Dean had such difficulty clearly stating what the polling showed

Why didn't he just say, those polled stated that they were sending a message to DC that they want REAL HCR that includes a public option or single payer, and not the sellout to the Health Insurance industry the Senate had devised. Tweety was having difficulty, or at least pretending to have difficulty, understanding the voter message being detailed by Dean. Somewhat of a missed opportunity, I hope Dean composes a more coherent response between now and next appearance, wherever/whenever that may be.

[ShortnFiery]

15. Howard Dean is one very intelligent man. He has vastly more self-control

than Tweety who's spinning like a top. :crazy:

[laughingliberal]

19. Joan Walsh just totally pulled it off

She just ate Tweety's lunch. She said it was garbage that Obama bowed to his left and that this bill was a corporate giveaway. And she said it didn't matter that Coakley said she was for the public option when the voters knew the public option was already dead in this bill.
