Goddamnit who is this asshole they have on MSNBC for Obama?

[slick8790]

He's embarrassing me as Obama supporter. He can't name a single accomplishment of Barack Obama in the senate or illinois state senator. Where do they find these idiots? Fuck this guy.

[Coexist]

1. Keith nailed him, though.

[slick8790]

3. Yeah, I just saw that. Go Keith! n/t

[adabfree]

8. Ko by KO...

[Blue State Bandit]

2. YOU GO KEITH!

[writes3000]

4. Agree.

It's also an incredibly shitty thing for Chris to do. I'm disgusted.

[Tatiana]

23. Yes. He played that "Gotcha!" type of journalism and deliberately tried to embarrass the guy.

Maybe he should have someone remind him of what it felt like when he was on the Daily Show w/ Jon Stewart.

[CreekDog]

27. It was not a shining moment, c'mon

that dude would've had trouble coming up with reasons to drink a glass of water while stranded in the desert.

sheesh. i wish Molly Ivins were here to elaborate on that moment.

[writes3000]

30. I absolutely hated the insinuation...

That because this guy didn't know Obama's legislative accomplishments therefore there were no Obama legislative accomplishments.

At the very least, Chris could have made that point.

Instead, he humiliated the guy AND he let an obnoxious generalization stand.

[CreekDog]

34. until Keith...hehehe

:rofl:

[Tatiana]

32. It was AWFUL. The guy was point blank ignorant. But Chris still was tacky.

He could have, at the very least (if he couldn't remember that Obama was an original sponsor of one of the most significant ethics reform bill of our time), pointed out that NO DEMOCRAT has been able to get legislation that they have sponsored through this shameful and grid-locked Congress.

That's a fact. Both Hillary and Obama have sponsored or co-sponsored tons of legislation - almost all with the same result: read twice and banished to some committee.

[CreekDog]

33. When Chris interviews somebody, they both get stupider

:shrug:

[Eurobabe]

5. Yes, he was a dolt. State Senator

get someone on there who knows the facts. This is what gives us the "koolaid" meme. :eyes:

[my2sense]

6. He's a Texas Senator

former mayor of Austin.

[Diamonique]

10. Well if he's gonna go on TV and represent somebody,

he should know something about him. I hope the Obama campaign didn't send this fool out there to look stupid (and make Obama look bad).

[workinforalivin]

7. Just your typical Obama supporter ... ask them why and they

go all 'he's cool' on you. Sheez!

[slick8790]

12. Oh yeah, we're all screaming cultists with no concept of reality too.

Keep spewing that shit, it's working great for your girl.

[bilgewaterbill]

13. There sure is a lot of them.

[Blue State Bandit]

19. Ask me

I'll tell you, and I'm not even a "thuper-delicate"!

[Political Heretic]

24. Bring it on. Ask me.

[Tatiana]

9. G-d he is awful. 2007 Ethics Reform Law! HELLO!!!!!!!!!

Even Bush had to sign it.

[Blue State Bandit]

22. Nuclear non-proliferation.

[Benhurst]

11. It's not fair to blame the messenger.

[slick8790]

18. If you're gonna go on TV, then you should at least have some grasp of your candidate's

accomplishments. Is that so hard?

[Benhurst]

35. The campaign should have sent one of its spinmasters.

That's what was needed.

They can make a hardy meal out of the thinest gruel.

[RepublicanElephant]

14. keith is too... freakin'... funny!!!!

:rofl:

[Solomon]

15. I wish I had it, but someone sent me an email at work today

listing all the stuff Obama has done in the Senate and I was truly shocked.

It's a big fat lie that he hasn't done anything. His record looked much more impressive than Hillary's.

Nobody is looking for the facts because they want to paint Obama as inexperienced.

[democrattotheend]

16. Why do they never ask about HRC's legislative accomplishments?

I used to read the Congressional Record religiously and I cannot think of any off the top of my head. Not saying she hasn't had any, but why is she not asked these questions?

[pstans]

17. Not good

Should have mentioned lobbyists restrictions and securing loose nukes.

[itsrobert]

20. I think he past legislation stopping sit-down meals paid by lobbyist

If you can eat standing up, it's paid for. That's all I remember.

[Arkana]

21. I don't know, but he was embarrassing--he was so underprepared

it wasn't even funny.

I wouldn't worry about it though--Obama proved tonight, again, that he's not "all hat and no cattle". He was very detailed in his plans--and it's not his fault that some state senator went on national TV without doing his research.

[blogslut]

25. He needs Jim Hightower

To be his Texas spokesman. :)

[Jane Austin]

26. He's a terrific state senator from Austin.

Used to be our mayor.

He's not in Washington, so why should he be up to day on Obama's legislative record?

Tweety IS in Washington and so is Stephanie Tubbs Jones.

They behaved like the the inside-the-beltway types they are.

Kirk Watson has his eye on Texas problems, particularly our snake of a Governor, Rick Perry and the sleazo Republicans who run the state legislature.

Tweety was being an ass.

[Connie_Corleone]

29. Yeah, but you have to know your candidate's record.

[skids]

31. Yeah, poorly prepped, but don't beat him up...

The Obama campaign probably expected a honeymoon tonight, and sent in second-stringer surrogates. Mistake on their part. My guess is it won't happen again. Hopefully they'll prep him properly and give him a chance to redeem the credibility Tweety mugged him of.

[Connie_Corleone]

28. What an idiot!

Obama mentions his accomplishments in his speeches: ethics reform, open government, nuclear non-proliferation.

Good god!!

[ClericJohnPreston]

36. There is a simpler explanation than all this

whine and cheese. Call it the elephant in the room. Of course, Obama supporters have a blind spot to that truth. Sad, oh so sad.....
