1. it's going viral. This is going to be a news story tomorrow

its all over the internet tubes already.

[Bolo Boffin]

2. It will be this mistake that's seized upon and harped upon by all the Repukes

trying to dodge Jindal's dismal performance.

[FrenchieCat]

3. Which is why I will be ignoring it.

They will be railing about the media, who has been on President Obama's heels already for the past 35 days.

It will give the media an excuse to continue to attempt to tear down the Obama Presidency, even if it means sinking us into the abyss.

[Hutzpa]

53. Who gives a fuck????

I hate when people like you pander to the republicans as if
folks are not allowed to be themselves.

Who knows what Chris Mathews was saying Oh God for....:shrug:
he might have spilled his coffee the moment they where switching
over....

Get a grip people.

[Bolo Boffin]

58. Get the fuck over yourself.

"Pander to the Republicans"? Please. Realizing the straw they're grasping for and stating it as such isn't pandering to them at all. It's calling them out. Please think before attempting to do the same to me.

[LittleClarkie]

60. What mistake?

The local Republican DJ noticed it, and sort of agreed with it. The guy is a shmuck, even to some on his own side.

[Bolo Boffin]

63. Mistake only in I doubt Matthews wanted it to go out over the air. n/t

[Cha]

62. It just shows how

prescient Tweety is. Tweety didn't make jindal that bad..he did that all by himself.

NO power to corporatemediawhores and their party the goperverts.

[vaberella]

4. That's how cool my tweets is!! n/t

[DangerousRhythm]

44. Aw, that's a cute picture!

I do love me some Tweety... he always makes me smile and this "Oh God" totally cracked me up. :D

[Canuckistanian]

5. And on Huffpo, top of the page

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/02/24/msnbc-cuts-to-jindal-with_n_169697.html

With a handy poll as well!

[GoCubsGo]

34. I cannot believe...

...that HuffPoo is suggesting that this could be someone other than Chris Matthews. Keith Olbermann? Seriously? What a stupid poll!

[ShortnFiery]

40. It cracked me up and seemed apropos to the earlier comment that 15 seconds later would have been

the more apt time to exclaim "Oh God." :evilgrin:

[BuyingThyme]

6. Why did he say "Oh God"?

[Clio the Leo]

7. Are you kidding? The whole NATION said it! lol NT

[eleny]

13. They just showed his approach to the mic on MSNBC

You're right. He was walking up to the mic with a shit eating grin on his face. It was too creepy weird.

[onefreespiritedchick]

27. He really did seem creepy

I was surprised. This is the best the GOP has eh? :eyes:

[eleny]

9. I'm wondering that, too. But the thing is the timing and how audible it was

It seems to be a knee jerk response to Jindahl as he approached the microphone. Perhaps he'll speak to it tomorrow.

[BuyingThyme]

15. Yeah, seems kinda mean.

But I'm not sure.

[4lbs]

11. I think it was the way Jindal came out wearing that stupid looking tie.

It looked he was wearing a barber shop pole.

[crikkett]

29. Agreed - it was as if he were trying to fade into the flag behind him.

and it's not the first time he's worn that thing either -

[Myrina]

42. Jindal's whole appearance was laughable ...

... he looked like the dorky booger-nosed goober everyone in school hates giving a class presentation or the "I'm running for Student Council but I haven't gone through puberty yet" speech.

[TTUBatfan2008]

14. Because he thinks Jindal is an asshat...

[Ganja Ninja]

32. It was hard not to.

Jindal looked like such a dork coming out of the shadows to deliver the response. It was bad imagery.

[cherokeeprogressive]

45. Because he lacks the objectivity that is supposed to be espoused by EVERY "journalist"? n/t

[Canuckistanian]

46. If you look at the video, Jindal's got this creepy smile on his face

It looks like it was applied during makeup.

[Bozita]

8. I think he had an ogasm

[eleny]

10. LOL!

[brooklynite]

12. Don't think it was Matthews...sounded like Olbermann

[eleny]

16. Sounded like Tweety to me

:shrug:

[Arugula Latte]

24. I just listened again ... definitely Tweets.

[ShortnFiery]

39. Oh darn, this must be "The Good Tweety" as contrasted to ...

"The Spastic Tweety" who labeled the netroots as "The Pajama Hudeen."



It's so damn hard to keep up with Tweety. :shrug:

[DevonRex]

43. That is the cutest picture.

[Arugula Latte]

50. Too bad that cute little girl grew up to be a hardcore Republican.

[RebelOne]

47. It's unmistakably Tweetie and I only had to listen to it one time.

[ezgoingrl]

17. Didn't you see how creepy he looked?

Even God said, "Oh God."

[Jamastiene]

20. ...

:spray:

[margotb822]

18. I thought it was Jindal

I thought he said it right as he came around the corner.

[BuyingThyme]

19. rofl

:rofl:

[margotb822]

21. With a speech like his,

I'd be nervous too!

[CitizenPatriot]

22. I'm tired of running scared by the republicans reactions

they're in the minority. who knows why mathews said it? could have been a technical error. they need to stop being so thin skinned and get over it. if their guy had been any good, no one would have thought twice about it.

the fact that it was what we were all thinking and feeling was just....too bad for them.

suck it, freeps!
:rofl::rofl::rofl:

[Hutzpa]

54. ditto

:rofl:

[ErinBerin84]

23. oh well

MSNBC provides commentary by people who have opinion shows...they are not pretending to be objective, people can tune into ABC if they want to see the news people there pretend to be objective. Plus, who can disagree after that horrid performance?

[Rosa Luxemburg]

25. did they find 'Goofy' in a goody bag?

[AyanEva]

26. XDDDD

That was kinda priceless...

[quiet.american]

28. I have been laughing all night over that!

Man, that "oh god" nailed it.

[harun]

30. I wonder if it was "Oh God" because they knew all the viewers would be turning

the channel, or "Oh God" we don't really have to listen to more of this right wing crap.

[SoFlaJet]

31. he said it because

all day he'd been talking about how he didn't like this guy...it was like when you're somewhere and someone you don't like is coming to talk to you, you look at the person next to you and say "Oh God don't look now but...here comes so and so"

[ShortnFiery]

35. You don't know that!

What? Are you writing the right wing nut case's talking points now.

It was a gaffe, let it go. :shrug:

[SoFlaJet]

41. he had been saying

"I got to tell ya I'm not impressed with this guy at ALL" all day long SnF

[ShortnFiery]

48. So, you can NOT make an inappropriate LEAP inside of Tweety's head unless you wish to support

right wing wishes/talking points. :thumbsdown:

[SoFlaJet]

52. what's inside of people's heads

and what comes out of their actual mouths are a pretty good indication of their thinking. What's inside of YOUR head though is a whole 'nuther matter

[bklyncowgirl]

33. He was channelling Ronald Reagan spinning in his grave.

Whatever else, Reagan would never have worn that tie with the wide red and white stripes.

[ClarkUSA]

36. Heard it. Matthews can't stand Jindal and was vocal about it all evening. Funny!

[nomaco-10]

37. FUX news claiming it was Olberman this morning. n/t

[ShortnFiery]

38. BFD. Not any worse than FOX news labeling every GOP politician in trouble as (D).

:shrug:

[gauguin57]

49. Who knows ... maybe Chris spilled coffee on his pants just as Jindal was walking out.

"Oh God ... someone get me a napkin!"

[WinkyDink]

51. Good! Now, how about Hannity's calling the President a Socialist?

[Leo The Cleo]

55. Well He's A Staunch Puppet

He sounded like a fool up there. He's just a talking puppet now.

[question everything]

56. Any more comments about it?

Will Matthews and Olbermann be called to the shade, like it was after the conventions?

[ErinBerin84]

57. warning, politico source, warning.

His official "reaction". Again, not even sure what needs to be explained here. One could argue that it was unprofessional and show that he wasn't willing to give Jindal a "chance", but as I said, he's an OPINION commentator. He had said previously that he was not impressed with Jindal, and stagecraft is something that Chris talks about a lot. Anyone who watches his show knows that there personal reaction he has to certain people has little to do with their political affiliation. He's going to "address it" tonight.

Matthews: 'I was taken aback' by Jindal entrance

After some confusion over who muttered "Oh God" last night on MSNBC, I reported this morning that it was Chris Matthews not Keith Olbermann.

And Matthews now plans to address the hot mic moment later on "Hardball," of which I've been provided a statement.

"I was taken aback by that peculiar stagecraft, the walking from somewhere in the back of this narrow hall, this winding staircase looming there, the odd anti-bellum look of the scene," Matthews said. "Was this some mimicking of a president walking along the state floor to the East Room?

Also, Jindal was invited on "Hardball" tonight but declined.

[mzmolly]

59. Matthews speaks as he thinks.

He doesn't appear to filter his commentary. ;) I like his off the cuff style.

[Beacool]

61. Tweety is a jerk, regardless of who's his latest target.

The most unprofessional pundit in that entire network.

:puke:
