Well, after listening to Matthews take on Sall of the Tea Party Express, I have to take back

[EV_Ares]

some of the things I have said. Chris is great today.

[tallahasseedem]

1. I'm practically crying...

this is some really scary shit going on here.

[roguevalley]

27. he's an old school dem who loves education and sincerely wants

racial and gender equality. I find him fun just like my uncles.

[valerief]

2. I agree. He's fabulous! He won't let the balloonheads rewrite history. nt

[EV_Ares]

3. LOL, yeah he stuck to his guns about Bachmann being a baloonhead and he never

let that guy off the hook, really took it to him.

[gateley]

4. He's incredulous at the level of Bachmann's STUPIDITY. Did you see it when

he asked her "are you hypnotized -- are you in a trance?" because regardless of the question he'd ask, it was as though she hadn't heard and just jumped in to the talking points. Even when he asked her that, she kept on going.

[JuniperLea]

5. Wow... I've never seen such a thing!

Thanks for the blow by blow! I see that "trance" way too much; very frustrating.

[gateley]

10. It was suffocating to watch. She's scary. And I think Tweety said that today, too. nt

[JuniperLea]

13. Did you hear about the real-time fact checking?

"The facts are exactly what Arianna Huffington, founder of the Huffington Post, plans to check during tonight's eagerly anticipated State of the Union address. In an attempt to solve the timeless problem of politicians spewing lies like BP spews oil, the Huffington Post is working with National Journal, the Center for Public Integrity, and the Sunlight Foundation to provide live fact-checking of Obama's address, as well as Rep. Paul Ryan's Republican response and Rep. Michele Bachmann's online-broadcasted Tea Party response."

http://www.editorsweblog.org/web_20/2011/01/obamas_state_of_the_union_address_availa.php

Of course there's already talk about Arianna being too liberal to judge the facts... what the hell does that mean anyway? Huffington is anything but liberal, and facts are facts, right? I guess that's an admission that the facts have a liberal slant?

I find it ridiculous that Bachmann thinks she can fact check anyone or anything... she with the near 100% false rating!

[gateley]

22. Cool -- thanks! Huffington has been pretty rough w/Obama at times (of course

that's not saying she's not liberal) but I trust her to give objective feedback.

Bachmann. When Tweety mentioned she'd be giving her own Tea Party response he wryly said "God knows what that'll be." :7

[malaise]

21. That was breath-taking

and hilarious. Tweety and Joan destroyed Bachmann and that moron.

[Sonoman]

24. Holy crap.

What I find amazing is that a politician who would elicit responses/questions such as that would have any traction whatsoever.

But, after all, she is preaching to the mouth-breathers.

I wish I had seen that.

[texshelters]

6. A freindly thought

post a link to the interview, or quotes, or something.

Us on the West coast haven't seen this yet.

Peace,
Tex Shelters

[valerief]

7. It's on teevee. nt

[texshelters]

23. And on the west coast many of us are working

but I can see it in reruns or on the web, or whatever.

Sometimes Mathews just cuts through the crap, so it's probably a good one.

Peace,
Tex Shelters

[CatWoman]

9. more info is in my thread

[gateley]

11. In Seattle we get it at 2pm then again at 4pm (except don't know how the schedule

will change because of Olbermann's departure -- if at all). Do you only get it once?

[Raine]

18. I'm in CA it was on 2:00-3:00, just went off

I watched it has it happened.

[spanone]

8. you have to wonder how people who pretend to be that fucking stupid get on teevee?

oh, maybe he's not pretending

[Brother Buzz]

12. Sal Russo the king of Astroturf®

Huckster from the getgo. He's the ass that brought us 'Move America Forward'.

[Beaverhausen]

14. ooh- is there video anywhere?

[SoCalDem]

15. I think in the last few years he has finally realized that these people are dangerous

and the time to laugh at them and pretend they are just silly, is gone.

He has grown up kids now and he's probably seeing how much tougher for them it will be than it was for him.. They do have the advantage of having a rich Mommy & Daddy, but he seems like the kind of dad who wants them to make it on their own..and that's becoming more and more difficult..

[Raine]

16. He was TERRIFIC!

Chris wasn't about to let that teabagger off he just kept on and on after him. :applause:

[GroovyObama]

17. That Sal needs to start schooling again. And with a tutor, jajajaja

I was flabbergasted on listening to this Tea Party Idiot, any child knows the answers for
Chris' question and he intently was refusing to answer them, well, he knew Chris and Joan were
absolutely correct,

[Raine]

19. Yeah, it was intentional. Chris said they're trying

to "scrub history". That guy KNOWS better but he refused to refute any of it ... DELIBRATELY.

[wryter2000]

25. Welcome to DU

:hi:

[janet118]

20. Yeah, what's going on with Chris . . .

He seems to have gotten back in touch with his old school Democratic roots.

[zbdent]

26. remember ...

2011 is not an "election year" ...

He'll be back to bashing Obama and Democrats in no time flat.
