I just had an email read on David Gregory's new show...

[jenmito]

They were talking about Obama's performance on Hardball. Matthews' first question to him was if he's ready to bowl on day one, and on Gregory's new show, "Race to the White House," they said to email with comments.

My comment was, "Who will seem like the more 'regular' candidate-the one who can't bowl well or the one whose tax return shows she's a multi-millionaire?"

(I wrote another one scolding them for spending the first ten min. talking about Wright, but they didn't read THAT one). :shrug:

[NanceGreggs]

1. Damn, that was a GOOD ONE, jenmito!

:applause:

[jenmito]

6. Thanks, Nance!

:hi:

[Cha]

2. Making lemonade outta

that Obama bowling episode..I love it!

[jenmito]

9. Thanks, zidzi...

I just find it nuts the way they're seriously saying the poor bowling score could show he's not really "one of them."

[WolverineDG]

18. Like I jokingly told a friend last night at the bowl-a-thon

I can't vote for Obama anymore. I just bowled a 72.

:rofl:

[jenmito]

21. That's funny...

:rofl:

[Cha]

32. When Obama gets the nom he

can brush up on his bowling skills and he & mccain can have a bowl off.

[flpoljunkie]

3. I heard that, but didn't realize you were the author. Way to go, Jen!

[jenmito]

Tom

[jenmito]

23. Awwww, shucks...

THANKS, Tom! :hug:

[TomInTib]

37. You know it, jen....

By the way, are you in the City?

[jenmito]

38. No...Rockland County.

:hi:

[TomInTib]

39. Isn't that pretty darned close?

To the City, that is...

I have been spending a good bit of time in NYC and was just wondering where you were. I have met only two fellow DUers in NYC.

Anyway, I certainly admire your wit and gumption in firing off those emails. And now, I believe, you have been published on two networks.

But wit and gumption aside, it's still that mind of yours that keeps me running.

T.

[jenmito]

41. Well...

about 15 miles but it takes a long time driving there (which I haven't done for years.)

Thanks again! :) Yup, CNN (24 times) and MSNBC now once. (I emailed Lou Dobbs once and he read it on the air. :D )

:grr: (blushing wildly)

[Ichingcarpenter]

13. I turned that show off when it came on after Obama was on Hardball

But way to go!!!!!

of a beautiful relationship! :D THANKS, No Surrender!

[1776Forever]

[Kolesar]

43. How is being a multi-millionaire an issue?

Seriously. I have been skipping the tax return threads at DU.

[jenmito]

46. If it's between someone trying to connect with the "working class white guy" by bowling

(and being bad at it) and trying to connect with them by pretending to be "one of them" until a tax return showing you're a multi-millionaire pops up, I think the one who's bad at bowling but not as rich has a better chance at relating to the "working class white guy" than a multi-millionaire.

[Kolesar]

53. FDR, JFK

We're picking presidents, here, not extras for the Newhart Show. Let's get to discussing carbon policy instead.

[me b zola]

44. WTG, Jen!

Isn't it a hoot to have your letter read on the air?

:yourock:

[jenmito]

47. Thanks, me b zola!

Yes it is! :hi:

54. I Caught That One...

I recorded it on DVR and watched it later. Yours was the last they read (after two bashing Obama of course) and it closed the program with them all laughing about it.
