Tweety took a final dig at end of show...

[slor]

he said in the what you learned today segment that "good health is a european idea". Haha!

[snappyturtle]

1. He was so spot on this morning. For those who haven't seen the soon to be viral clip his

final remark was aimed at the repukes trying to connect with the right wing base that the President got his healthcare program from the Europeans.

[tavalon]

3. Actually, Obama lifted it pretty much unchanged from some previous governor of Mass.

I'm having a senior moment. Who was that Governor? The name is on the tip of my tongue........


Oh, yeah, Mitt Romney. Does that mean Mitt is, OMG, French???!!!!

One of the reasons I didn't care much for the Affordable Healthcare Act is because I thought it should have been much broader than Romneycare, but other than a tweak here and there, it's not.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

5. Little known fact: Romney speaks French and loves the French. Lived there two years.

[formercia]

12. I don't think that trying to convert the French by speaking English

would go over very well.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

13. Of course. But the French hating Republicons and Teas should know Romney's Francophile nature.

[byeya]

14. Yeah, Brie-Breath Romney has some 'splainin' to do

[Voice for Peace]

15. what does Mitt say about the French health care system?

had some concerns about it?

loved it, it took great care of him?

[tavalon]

19. Known by me, hence the reason I didn't use European, but France specifically

In 2004, it was part of what the right used to destroy Kerry. Funny, how short their attention spans are.

[jorno67]

7. Yeah...I think you're right! Except didn't that version pay for abortions?

[SteveG]

11. Well we know he spent several years in France during the Vietnam War

dodging the draft, and trying to convert French people to Mormonism. He must speak French.... I bet he eats snails as well.

[flamingdem]

2. thanks, missed it - that good health comment

is priceless!

[lonestarnot]

4. He should get on the TV box early every day. He's good when it's early!

[Oilwellian]

6. Video

Tweety was impressive.

[Plucketeer]

8. Yeah - what's fun about this clip

is that Penis feels the pressure and is clearly uncomfortable in it. Imagine how catty and amusing he'd be with a panel from FOX.

[slor]

9. Thanks folks!

my first post to hit frontpage!

[avebury]

10. K&R nt

[Catherine Vincent]

16. My only problem with Matthews is he never let anyone respond

And when they do, he constantly interrupts.

[LiberalLovinLug]

17. What's good for the goose....

I don't like that kind of behaviour either, but unfortunately its the only way to push back at times. The right wingnuts have been getting away with it for years. Its their standard way of interviewing or being interviewed.

I wish the Republicans spokespersons would calmly state their positions and defer to others politely. But THEY DON'T. I think its even become a sick point of pride among people like those at Fox News at how little time and how few points their left leaning "guest" is allowed to get out.

So its refreshing to see the odd pushback; to see them being forced to listen to the truth of their dishonest behaviour. Usually any pushback is loudly interrupted and dismissed, even by msm corporate-pumping sad-sack non-journalists like Brokaw.

[Skittles]

18. why even bother?

repukes talk the same way they walk - by goosestepping - everyone KNOWS what they think

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

20. Kind of like every Republican who appears on Bill Maher

[reformist2]

21. Chris acted like a bully with Reince, imo. Reince didn't even fight back.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

22. Considering that most European nations have better health outcomes....

Chris' comment isn't a joke. Just a sad commentary on "American Exceptionalism"
