1. Tweety seems to be back on the Dean bandwagon !

After bashing him mercilessly last week he's calling him 'Gutsy' and a 'Maverick'

Or is Tweety just kissing his ass to his face, only to back stab him later ?

With Tweety you never know.

2. Hooray for Dean

for not taking the bait to bash John Edwards.

3. Tweety's been on Team Dean from day one.

He ain't no jackass like Carville. He's like fellow Dean backers Joe Scarborough and Frank Lunz--objective journalists who want Dems to do well in November.

8. Ha ha, you're to funny.

I don't trust anything Tweety does, I'm just happy Dean did well.

6. Tweety bends whichever way the wind blows and I think he

got caught up in the Dean Twister!

[RetroLounge]

16. You need to rephrase that.

I think what you meant to say was:

"Tweety bends over for his corporate masters while playing twister and he blows."

13. they want him to beat Kerry.

17. Watched the interview in a bar after plowing today....

Everyone liked Dr. Judy...this was a bar full of working guys, who tend to hate Hillary Clinton, who drink and smoke illicit cigarette tobacco...well not really illicit...we've all jumped over one county to do it legally in a bar.
Anyway, let me stay on topic...Judy went over really well. I thought I'd hear a couple of ignorant comments, but the consensus remained "if she wants to stay and treat patients let her". General comments towards Dean...he seems like a nice guy, what was all the fuss about.
Anyway, I was very pleased.

4. Maybe Tweety took notice of the Blitzer interview

and found the good sense not to show or mention "the scream" tape. He did pull a Diane Sawyer on Judy Dean, though, sort of asking how she would measure up to Laura Bush at the White House.

[NewHampster]

5. And Judy did great

she avoided the bait and handled it well.

[Skidmore]

10. Why do they keep asking her that? Why should she have to

"measure up" to anyone in the WH? What a stupid question!! Judy Dean should be firm in a response that she is her own person. Good lord, the woman made it through med school and has a successful practice. Sometimes I think the press is trying to bait Dean into defending his wife, just to see if he will go ballistic.

[Ripley]

11. I didn't think of that...baiting the Mean Dean.

You are probably right. But it won't happen because he lets her handle herself because he is not Mr. Protector of the Little Woman. I do hate to see the media play games with them tho, while it appears the other wives get cream puff treatment.

7. Looks to me like MSNBC is thinking Dean

fingers crossed, freeze my butt off tomorrow.

GO GO Howard

9. Kerry by 5+ ...Dean close...whatever the outcome...I am so pleased with

Dr. Dean's comeback this week...he showed me alot..as long as he has the resources and the machine...he has a chance

12. I saw him with Blitzer

a while ago and I thought it went really well. They played for the first time the wide angle view of the lead up to the notorious scream. Maybe they're all trying to save face from looking so stupid by playing the close up out of context over and over and over. They're getting their own bad press because of it. And Dean got a chance to speak substance - and went on to nail wolf when he said something like "look, you guys can't deny you combine the entertainment factor with news for ratings. I understand that and can live with that aspect."

14. Dean handled himself very well

the man has substance he is not fluff and that is why I love to hear him speak. Judy is a very simple woman in dress,style and her speech which speaks much to working women of today. I wish a couple or so of her patients could be caught on camera to speak about her. I don't detect anything fake in the two of them, of course no family is perfect but they really seem to have a fine family working relationship.

15. As much of the MW that Matthews is

I think he likes mavericks (think McCain) and I think he likes Dean. That puts him up a notch or 2 with me. :)
