Fineman on Imus discusses Lamont/lieberman debate |
|
In an earlier segment Craig Crawford was his usual hem hawing self, who refused to stand up to Imus' characterization of Lieberman as the clear winner. Commenting instead on Lamont's suit. But H. Fineman was stinging in his comments that Lierman is in trouble, that he appeared to be attacking because he was in trouble.

1. Fineman's analysis is the best I've seen so far. |
|
He pointed out that Lieberman's aggressive attack on Lamont would probably not go over well with Connecticut voters, who are used to seeing Lieberman is a warm, congenial person. The primary turnout is expected to be low, but the voters will likely be the activist Dems who want Lamont. Yes, Joe is in trouble.

3. A few unnecessary words in your last sentence: |
|
"Imus can't be objective." would suffice.

4. Yeh, I doubt that Imus actually "likes" anyone. How did such an old grouch |
|
ever get his own radio show?

5. i loved Lamont's FOX NEWS comment |
|
when Joe repeatedly interrupted him towards the end, Lamont blurted out
"this is not FOX NEWS, you know ?"
IMUS can go kiss Joe if he likes him so much.

7. The moderator did a horrible job controlling that |
|
Lieberman went on and on and on from the beginning.

6. I agree that Fineman had the better take on the debate, but |
|
did you hear him describe Joe's vote on the Iraq authorization as "courageous"?It may have been a well intentioned vote but to suggest it took a scintilla of bravery to go along with the boy president is ludicrous.I swear I go back and forth trying to decide whether these pundits are bought and paid for by the RNC or if they are just plain stupid.And where I come out is that they are both.

8. exactly. what was courageous when that vote was taken is the |
|
votes of the Senators who voted against it--because polls at the time favored the resolution--and it was taken just before the midterm elections.
