O.M.G. Chuckie Todd is discombobulated over Palin's speech.

[monmouth]

Good conversation on Tweety with Fineman and Chuck. They're both gobsmacked by Palin's speech and lack of understanding the issue. Tweets says she has "no reverse gear on her tongue." It's a good one and Tweets is on his good meds.

1. According to another viewer who posted on DU

Tweety was attempting to give her an 'out' by questioning whether she actually knew the meaning of the term 'blood libel.' Tweety just goes any old way the wind is blowing - wishy-washy to a fault.

[MadBadger]

4. Well she doesnt...

know what the term meant that is.

[Cirque du So-What]

11. Whether she does or she doesn't, it's still really bad

If she doesn't know what it means, then why in pluperfect hell did she use it in a speech? That would indicate extremely poor judgment - way beyond stoopid - on her part. If she *does* know what it means, it's even worse because she's tooting a not-so-silent dog whistle for her bigoted troglodyte followers.

19. "Pluperfect hell"...I am so borrowing that. Excellent..n/t

[Cirque du So-What]

20. I absconded with it from a novel by Erskine Caldwell

Tobacco Road. As I recall, the person who used it was somewhat villainous, but I liked the term & borrowed it anyway.

8. I don't believe he was...

if anything, it was a complete and utter indictment. He did a good job.

[Confusious]

13. If she doesn't, which I don't think she does

Or the historical implications of that word.


She's a moron.

[LiberalFighter]

25. It shouldn't matter whether she doesn't know the meaning of blood libel.

She has a responsibility of knowing whether it is appropriate to use any term she uses. Especially if she hopes to be President.

Tweety shouldn't try to give a person an out just because they are stupid and pretty. He should probably remove the appendage between his legs so he can focus more with the brain in his head.

2. wrong spot, wrong post nt

[malaise]

3. Ron Reagan and David Brock have eaten Mooselini here

Adios Sarah Palin! You are history!!

[PearliePoo2]

5. chewed her up and spit out her gibberish.

I love Ron Reagan and have MISSED HIM!

[malaise]

9. He's the only sensible Reagan

I have lots of time for him.

[BeyondGeography]

6. Brock was especially good, IMO

An incredibly organized mind; he needs more airtime.

[malaise]

7. He's excellent

Do you have a link to his website?

[NYCGirl]

10. He's the founder of Media Matters:

http://mediamatters.org/

[malaise]

17. I have that link

Thanks :hi:

[EFerrari]

14. They send out a daily roundup, fyi. n/t

[Kurovski]

15. Oh malaise, you musn't go to that website.

I heard that it will turn you gay!!!

[malaise]

16. Bwaaaaaaah hahahahha

Jebus one little look will make me gay? Even hubby is laughing now. :rofl:

[Kurovski]

22. Well...

:D it ain't so bad. :D

[monmouth]

12. So nice to see Ron again. I haven't seen him in ages but I don't

usually watch MSNBC anymore...

[malaise]

18. I think he was finishing his book about his father

He hasn't been on in ages.

[rufus dog]

21. Probably because of the increased play of the Giffords interview

Where she calls out Palin for her rhetoric and Todd defends Palin. Probably really hard for him to sleep the past couple nights when he has to see what a douchebag he was during that interview.

[Hamlette]

23. Was Chuck critical of the media's little darling girl? n/t

[monmouth]

24. He was very critical of her and her poor choices of wording. I was

stunned that he was really uncomfortable and disgusted with her words. That's so unlike him, always pushing the Sarah meme...

[anAustralianobserver]

26. David Brock layed it all out. I hope someone posts the vid.

Here's another video from David Brock on the Palin speech:
