Ned on Tweety now n/t

[malaise]

[helderheid]

1. thanks!

[Beaverhausen]

2. details please

[AlCzervik]

3. i hope Ned brought his plastic sheeting to ward off Tweety's spittle

anything interesting yet?

[Atman]

4. God, I love the guy.

What a difference from Droopy, eh?

DID TWEETY JUST SAY "I CAN'T SUPPORT YOU?"

[Horse with no Name]

5. yeah

don't you love unbiased journalism?:puke:

[helderheid]

7. I didn't turn it on - he said that??!?!?!?

[Kolesar]

9. *THAT'S* the character Jon Stewart has been imitating

...when Jon does his impersonation of Joementum--Droopy Dog from Hanna Barbera or one of those old 'toons.

[malaise]

11. Can you believe that

Unfuggingbelievable.

[faithnotgreed]

12. chris told ned that he cant support him?

why would reporters even comment on who they ARE supporting let alone if they CAN support them

can you give context to the quote
thanks

[Horse with no Name]

14. The gist of it was

"I'll probably get in trouble, but I like you. I'm glad you are in the race. But I can't support you"....this is not verbatim.

[faithnotgreed]

19. thank you - i dont know why it would be surprising at this point

but yes
it is surprising

chris really seems to have low self esteem + not always the best judgment in his remarks
he just says these things that are bizarre depending on who is the guest
and then says he may get into trouble

anyway
thank you for the information
ned is a fantastic person to have in government and at least chris had him on today
better than last night when even after the victory there was no mention of him the entire time

[Atman]

16. He was closing the segment and saying he was glad Ned was in the race

He told Ned it was great to have someone new shaking things up because too many in Congress think they somehow own their seats.

"I can't support you, but it's good to have someone new shaking things up." Something like that. Wait for the transcript...I still can't believe he said it. Maybe the flying spittle distorted the audio.

20. Mehlman on now

MSNBC says ABC blog said Rove apparently called Leiberman to offer President's help WTF? Leiberman talked to Rove - damn! Dan Gerstein said tehre was a call from Rove. Mehlman says he doesn't know about the call.

Damn they're desperate.

[faithnotgreed]

22. that is pretty funny - and typical

last night chris couldnt stop talking about joe (though i guess he did razz him a little too) but barely a mention of ned
and today...

but thats then nature of this beast
and im just glad to see ned on the show - he is vital to democracy as we have it now

6. Tweety "I'll probably get into trouble, but I like you"

That how he winds up the segment basically. Whose he getting into Trouble with??! MSM?

[Horse with no Name]

10. His Republican handlers n/t

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

18. Good Heavens. At least Tweety

asked Lamont to come in In Person for more interviews.
Lamont did great.

[Horse with no Name]

23. Actually I think he would rather have Lamont come on

so he can have some of his vapid Republican lapdogs attack him face-to-face and weak quasi-DINOS there to offer milquetoast explanations. Tweety never changes his modus operandi. Never.
His mission is to make Lamont look weak. Didn't you see the rapid fire questions asking Lamont to say nice things about Republicans?:puke:
He was trying to make him look partisan--just in case you weren't sure what he was doing--thereby giving substance to Lieberman's complaint that this was all partisan politics.

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

24. You got a point there

You may well be right. I'm such an optimist about people, reality burns my butt frequently.
You think I'd learn by now, but Noooo, Seems to be nothing i can do against it either. Just my dumb hopeful nature.

[gully]

8. It's apparent why he won. He's great.

The only thing I'd have done differently was pointed out that Bush ignored warnings prior to 911 etc.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

13. I Am Amazingly Impressed By Ned Lamont. He Was Incredible.

He's actually one of the absolute most solid democratic voices we have right now.

Thoroughly impressive. I'm proud of him.

[malaise]

15. He was very, very good

and he does not take PAC money.

[devilgrrl]

17. Don't tell me, Tweety's interupting him and making shit up on the fly...

wouldn't surprise me.

[karlrschneider]

21. Not really - Ned was cool, calm & collected.

He's gettin' his groove. :D
