[LittleApple81]

This is really interesting, IMHO.

[Bozita]

7. I'll take MoDo over Chavez in three rounds

[LittleApple81]

8. Chavez is a PUKER!!!! not even P.J. O'Rourke rises to her level of

crap and vomit inducing personhood.
Just by introduction pooping on the Unions...
The Unions are in the POCKETS OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY!!!!!
WHAT ABOUT THE REPUGLICAN PARTY BEING IN THE POCKET OF THE CORPORATIONS AND CRIMINALS!!!!
I am getting so incensed. That is why they want to kill unions!!!

[UTUSN]

13. BRAZILE: "Jesus should come back and clear his name."

While I give her a negative rating for her GORE job, she's saying good things right now:

"All those good Christian folks who spend so much time in Mass and church, after coming outside should be more tolerant, less judgmental, more loving. ... Should not inflict their own personal beliefs on others."

Basic, but good.

CHAVEZ: "There were lots of TITTERS. Lots of TITTERS. Lots of TITTERS." (Over Shrub's religiosity.)

MODO: "I grew up in a Catholic family." Before becoming a whore.

O'ROURKE: "(Looking at Shrub's mess), Does it LOOK like Jesus had something to do with this?"

[LittleApple81]

9. I loved Maureens introduction. It was very good. I am sorry

her columns are not very fair to the Democrats sometimes... but today I think she is going to be good.

[LittleApple81]

10. Brazille talking about her religion and how it should be kept out of

politics... talking about Lieberman's and her religious similarities.

[LittleApple81]

11. Chavez comparing the civil rights movement and involvement of

religious institutions and people in it to PAT ROBERTSON!!!!
My God, she is amazing.

[LittleApple81]

12. I guess I will go do something constructive (with my headphones on).

Nobody else is posting here... And reporting on this is not necessary since I am sure they will replay it later.
See you.

[Hotler]

14. The tension is great, isn't it.

Dowd wants to kick Chavez ass real bad. You can see it in her eyes.

[UTUSN]

15. The Audience Was Overwhelming Pro-KERRY

Brian "Fascist Friday" LAMB asked who for JK, Shrub, NADER. Just about the whole room was for JK. LAMB said of the Shrub voters, "You can count them on one hand." And about any NADERites: He said, "But duck under the table."

It's over now.

[LittleApple81]

16. Then, at the end, P.J. O'Rourke said: Do you realize that if you

were not voting for Kerry (I guess implying they would be publishing more RW books) you could sell twice as many books to the American Public?
Typical Repug: think about the bottom line, forget about the country, social justice, or THINKING in general.
