Did Maxine Waters just BODY SLAM Kan Blackwell?

[burythehatchet]

She is ashamed that he is black??!!??!!$%^&*(

[sepia_steel]

1. hooooooooooooly

:wow:

[MelissaB]

2. Why can't we have people like her

in my state?

[DinahMoeHum]

3. calling him everything short of an "Uncle Tom", I gather ?

sorry, I'm a cube rat.

:kick:

[Sydnie]

5. yes she did~! n/t

[TolstoyAndy]

4. She ROCKS!

Keep it coming - NPR just sticks to the oh-so-polite
Head Torturer Rubber-Stamp hearings.

[demnan]

6. Yes

You know we have to come up with a better word than "balls" when it's the women who have it.

[quiet.american]

9. In Maxine's case, I call it what it is -- "fearlessness" n/t

[Nothing Without Hope]

31. It is indeed fearlessness and courage, but those words

...just don't catch on for some reason. Hence I am giving up trying to leave bodily parts out of it and suggesting "gonads." It's clear that the majority of political discussions would come to a stop without invoking sex organs at every dramatic point. I don't know why, but I think we're going to have to work with it.
:shrug:

[Zenlitened]

10. Exactly! The women led us today! - n/t

[Nothing Without Hope]

13. Try "gonads"

I still don't understand the relevance of sexual organs to courage, but it seems to be unbreakable habit in political discussion. Since it's not all men anymore, let's just use a universal word. Besides, "ovaries" just isn't a very oomphy word for some reason.

[DinahMoeHum]

14. Try this quote instead - "Roosters Crow, But Hens Deliver" !!

:kick:

[Gelliebeans]

7. I'm proud she is from my state

GOOOOOOOO MAXINE*********************:bounce:

[burythehatchet]

12. here's to you

:toast:

[quiet.american]

8. Yes! Anyone have a direct quote? n/t

[roenyc]

11. did you see this: from wills blog

Jackson-Lee blows the doors off, and the GOP Reps. march out accusing Democrats of aiding terrorists...and then complain about bitterness and partisanship.

[Nothing Without Hope]

18. Yes, his blog of these events was WONDERFUL.

I have no cable and thus no TV nor radio coverage. DU was unreachable because of traffic. Only two places I found with live threads I could reach were DKOS and Will's blog at TruthOut. He did a fabulous job, I'll bet his fingers ache.

I love those short, punchy zings. Here are a few more favorites from the Will blog:
GOP Rep. Drier in the House says the people questioning the Ohio vote are aiding terrorists.
Typical.
(snip)
Voinovich (R-OH) is up...defending the vote in his state. Bunch of Ohioans in the gallery started bellowing and had to be removed.
Voinovich, like DeWine, is using editorials to prove there were no problems in Ohio. Dizzyingly hilarious.
(snip)
Some blivet in the House is telling stories about soldiers. I knew it.

If Will is watching:
1. You did a MAGNIFICENT job and it kept me going through this historic event. You were my eyes and ears and managed to be my entertainment too.
2. What's a blivet? Is it OK for polite company? I want to know anyway.

[pgh_dem]

29. Think a blivet is

10 pounds of crap in a 5 pound bag.
Very appropriate.
Congrats to all involved. No doubt we all would have liked a little more actual support of Sen Boxer, but this is unassailably a victory for people interested in election reform.

[Amaryllis]

26. What did Jackson Lee do? I was watching the senate.

[mycatforpresident]

17. Reply from Maxine Waters

"Ohio's partisan SOS, Mr. Kenneth Blackwell, I'm ashamed to say an African American man, has failed even to follow OH's election procedures, let alone procedures that comply with federal law, and Const. requirements. Our ancestors who died for the right to vote, certainly must be turning over in their graves."

[quiet.american]

25. She must have been reading my mind!

Thanks for posting that quote.

[mycatforpresident]

28. No prob. n/t

[dogindia]

Sold their souls for some pieces of silver.

[fooj]

35. He's a criminal and I believe that his days are numbered...

Hope they give him a nice, warm cell...next to someone who is in search of some fresh meat...ha ha!

[politicasista]

36. He is a disgrace to Black America!

Sellout! :puke:

[peekaloo]

38. I applauded her appearance in F9-11 and I applaud her today.

Righteous!

[chartresbleu]

39. blackwell will be voter fraud lynndie england

if felonious voter fraud can be proven in ohio and blackwell connected to it, you know that rove, bush and gang will let him squirm in the spotlight while they distance themselves as quickly as humanly possible. "it was just the work of a few loose cannons" they will say. blackwell should be sweating it because if there is a breakthrough in this case, they will make him the new lynndie england.

[dogindia]

40. large. bright.

[crispini]

[HeyManThatsCool]

Maxine Waters for President?
Seriously, that woman takes NO shit
