Another Ineffective Dem Spokeswoman On Tweets Right Now |
|
Edited on Thu Aug-17-06 07:00 PM by stopbush
Jenny Backus on with Gordon Liddy, Ie: wiretaps. Neither she nor Tweets points out that current FISA law allows the Feds to get a wiretap IMMEDIATELY and without a warrant. They just need to retroactively get a warrant post-action within a specified time frame (72 hours? Can't remember).
Why is that aspect of current law never pointed out in these "debates."
BTW - Tweety introduced her as "no relation to Mr Magoo, Jim Backus," when the last time she was on she specifically told Tweets that she was related to Jim Backus. She had to tell him again today. Tweets can't remember shit.

2. I haven't been at all impressed with her |
|
as you say, she doesn't seem quick or informed enough to counter effectively, even when the facts are on her side.

5. Tweets used him as a comic foil on the wiretaps. They openly |

Edited on Thu Aug-17-06 07:06 PM by stopbush
joked about Liddy's wiretaps and illegal activities. Liddy even bragged that he wiretapped the phones when he was in prison and used the info he gathered against the warden!
This was a transparent effort by Tweets to reduced the whole illegal aspect of bush's wiretaps to joke status. That will be the new ploy here: Ds are making a big deal out of nothing...it's a joke.
Have you noticed that Tweets, Jeffrey Toobin and others seemed to be on the anti-illegal wiretaps side UNTIL the court ruled against bushco? Then, they suddenly make light of it, or insist it will be overturned. Or - in Toobin's case - feel it necessary to point out that the ruling came from a liberal, female BLACK judge who cited "mostly other liberal judges" in her ruling. Wink, wink - the lib'rul welfare queen has ruled.
Disgusting.

4. Baucus is sweet, but very ineffective. That's why Tweety has her on. |

10. I'm sure that is EXACTLY why he has her on...... |
|
god forbid he have a strong Progressive on, like Randi. Randi would wipe the floor with ANY repug Tweety would pitt against her. They, however, usually have ONE strong Progressive up against 3 repugs so that the progressive cant speak without having to yell to get a word in edgewise.

9. You only get on Hardball if the host invites you, |
|
and Tweets rarely has a super-strong D on.
That said, he earlier had Murtha on and followed him with Murtha's lightweight challenger in the coming election. Man, did she look bad! What an empty suit!

11. I complained about her last week. She's totally ineffective and always |
|
looks like a deer caught in the headlights. She seems to totally freeze up when she has so many opportunities to make a clear and cogent point.
It's apparent she's an awful spokesperson, yet she continues to make appearances on the show. Tells me that she is on just for that reason...VERY WEAK. She could do us all a favor and decline when she is invited again...of course, Tweety would probably find someone worse than her to replace her.

13. I think she's pregnant so I hope she takes a LONG maternity leave |

She is totally ineffective and Tweets lets the Repukes run right over her. I could've slapped Ed Rogers a couple of weeks ago. You know the Repuke tactics - run your mouth a mile a minute and talk right over the polite Dem. Then it doesn't help the Tweety constantly is interuppting his guests. The man must be ADHD.
