this morning.
He couldn't even put up a debatable defense and at the end was going "I'm not going to sit here...."
Then he mumbles "Garbage, garbage"
Seriously I thought the little SOB was going to cry!
Awesome.
The Republicans have no plan or defense when Democrats actually fight back.
But that Rience is a whiny little prick

(21,925 posts)If they get offended and stop going on shows like Matthews on MSNBC or Soledad Obrien's on CNN let them be confined entirely to Fox if that's how they feel.

(22,896 posts)I can't say it looked like he was going to cry, but he squirmed around in his chair like a little kid, trying to (unsuccessfully) stop the flow of angry words Chris was hurling at him. It was beautiful.

(70,684 posts)How Tweety "Executed" DONAHUE on MSNBC.
Tweety was on his book tour for another one of his "books" (large type, wide spaces between lines, blank half-pages). It was in the jingoistic hysteria in the run-up to the illegal Iraq attack. The book was about supposed "Americanism" -- an American Civ 101 ripoff about books and movies and cultural stuff that are essentially American (think, "The Great Gatsby" . So Phil welcomed him as a colleague and peer on Phil's show for the full hour to plug the book. From the moment he appeared, there was a strange, deadly snake look in Tweety's snake eyes. Phil was walking around the audience, apparently not sensing anything, while Tweety was motionless, following him only with his eyes. Phil brought up something or other questioning blind, kneejerk jingoism, and Tweety STRUCK! He started out with venom dripping, "You see, THIS is EXACTLY what's wrong with YOU Liberals: You are NEGATIVE about this country, you find NOTHING good about it," and on and on. It took awhile before Phil figured out what was happening. Later, Phil, devastated and spent, was sitting at the table with Tweety and, weaker and weaker, did some of his trademark shoulder shrugging and arm waving. Tweety delivered the coup de grace, "What's THIS (mimicking the movements)??!! What's with the --APE-- movements???!" Days or a week or two later, Phil's cancellation was announced and took effect.
*********Now, Tweety was great this morning, and has been good on us for a year or two, but he *does* have a history.

(37,648 posts)I don't condone browbeating people, but the guy simply wasn't giving straight answers, and Chris got angry and called him on it, after trying to get answers.
Apparently Joe Scabby & Chris are tight, cause Joe let Tweety get away with a lot. More than Meekhouse or anyone else I can think of. So either they're tight, or Tweety outranks him at MSNBC. Not sure which.

(24,221 posts)argument.
Then when it became obvious he had nothing but a couple talking points to defend himself and nothing else Joe and Mika got embarrassed for him.
These shows are about being able to talk and talk and talk...
If you have no argument, you talk over the other guy!
You do not shut down and go "Well I'm not going to sit here..." and mutter "garbage" because you got push-back.
You're the head of the RNC and you can't handle CHRIS MATTHEWS at his worst?
Really?

(20,317 posts)When challenged, most of the GOP salesmen have no idea what to do. The way Priebus just seethed and looked at Scarborough like, "are you going to shut him up or what?" was priceless. When all he could come up with was, "...garbage. Garbage-- garbage...", I laughed my ass off.
