1. Rec'd. She was terrific! nt

[quiet.american]

2. Had to sit through a lot of crazy-eyed Repug to get to the good stuff. You rock, Debbie, tho'! nt

3. Can't she be speaker

[immoderate]

9. Careful what you wish for. She's my rep, and while it's good to have a Democrat...

She hasn't opposed Pelosi on any of her policies. Wasserman Schultz is DLC as anyone. She would not listen to us when we talked about impeaching Bush and Cheney, even though the Congrssman next door, Wexler was pushing for an investigation. She was totally soft on the Bush administration.

4. at about 6:15 it sounds as if she's saying something like

Oh, he was so whipped. Doesn't it?

[tishaLA]

11. yes, she said it

and I LOL'd that she said it and he had to defend himself.

5. Yeah, I saw this one.Wasserman Schultz owned this guy!K & R!

6. She sat there patiently for the first 2 minutes...

...letting him speak. As soon as she started talking (in answer to a question by Chris), he began interrupting her and never stopped. My 4 year old niece has better manners than the typical republican, they can never let the Democrat speak without constantly interrupting, but are so quick to be offended when they are interrupted.

But, all of that aside, she was great, and Tweety didn't do too badly either!

12. When the law is on your side, hammer the law. When sympathy is, hammer sympathy.

When neither is on your side, hammer the table.

7. lol

she told him he got whipped by his own party thats the only reason he'll vote against his
own constituency.

8. Bilbray is scum.

I hope he loses his seat in the next election, but he probably won't.

10. What's with the Malkin eyes?

I always thought "wild eyed" was just an expression, but a lot of Repugs seem to have them.

[scribble]

13. I saw it differently

Good clip, but a misleading headline.

Bilbray got twice as much time as Schultz did. He was more emphatic and made his points more clearly (even though they are hogwash). Debra could barely get a word in edgewise for the first 4 minutes. When she talked, she was clear and direct, but not emphatic enough to make me stand up and cheer.

It was another typical interview for Tweety. He gently favors GOP spin no matter how fanciful or harmful the spin is. I was pretty pissed off by the end of the segment. Debbie is very good at a lot of things, but not going on the Tweety show.

14. She was very good. Would have liked to have heard more of her instead of the babbling dudes

15. Fantastic. I remember during the Primaries she was rooting for HRC...

and I kept wishing she was on Obama's side since he had a few pundit failures out there.
