1. I'm watching! :) n/t

[jazzjunkysue]

2. Talking over our heads, just like the campaign.

I really don't know for sure what he's trying to say. Really long, fuzzy answers. At least he didn't say anything about Cindy. Good decision.

[NNN0LHI]

22. I had no problem understanding everything he was talking about

I have been known to lie a lot too.

:P

3. what the hell is he saying?

I'm trying to listen, but he's not answering the question.

He looks a little nervous. He plays so much better in An Incon. Truth.

We are a soundbite culture. We want short, consise answers on tv. This is the stuff that the rw'ers will attack him on.

btw...I'm a big fan of his.

[blm]

4. I think he's probably tired from the road and QandA's he's doing.

People get tired. Even politicians and the good guys.

[NightWatcher]

5. he's getting better as the interview is going

The first two answers kinda roamed around. I hope he gets it together for his run sometime real soon. He has the facts, but he tries to say too much sometimes. We are all guilty of that sometimes.

6. Swamp Rat has been tombstoned.

[Subdivisions]

8. WTF? Why?

[Jazzgirl]

9. I cannot believe Swamp Rat got tombstoned!!!

What the hell happened???

[etherealtruth]

10. Oh my God ... No

[HeeBGBz]

12. Oh man

Wtf happened?

[Uncle Joe]

13. That's a bummer, I'm going to miss Swamp Rat

:-(

[babylonsister]

15. Goddamn it! That's so not fair! I hope he fights it. nt

[Moochy]

17. self-delete

self-delete, lol he got caught by the auto-spam filter... from posting rule #4. :)

[MonkeyFunk]

27. what other long line of mistakes

have the mods made?

[Moochy]

37. My bad

My bad, I reckon that was some premature blameification on my part.

:dilemma:

:think:
I now blame the Democrats who voted yes for the funding bill for Swamp Rat's Premature, and Temporary Obituary.

[Breeze54]

19. Nooooooooooo!!

:cry: :cry:

[cynatnite]

20. There is no tombstone that I can see n/t

[Moochy]

21. Good then a mod/admin reinstated him / came to their senses :)

countdown to lock in 3 2 1

[KoKo]

30. No Tombstoned when I just checked... What's this all about?

I've not seen anything from Swampie that was against DU Rules ever? :shrug:

[Moochy]

34. He was spamming for Good, but yes much ado about nuttin

:) He was posting rule #4 over and over in that thread that got locked (finally!) He got caught in the auto-spammer filter apparently.

[Connie_Corleone]

24. He was caught in the spam filter. He's still with us.

[IChing]

26. Thank god......I had to walk the dog and cool off when I saw that.

[KoKo]

31. What the Hell is the "Spam Filter" ?

:shrug:

[NNN0LHI]

25. Hasn't everyone been tombstoned at one time or another?

I sure as shit know I have been.

Don

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

29. When I clicked on your link, there was no tombstone. eom

[Lone_Star_Dem]

35. He may have been caught in the spam filter

If you post too quick it catches you. I've seen it happen before and they always reinstate 'em, just lie our dear Swamp Rat has been.

[Raksha]

38. No he didn't. The profile is still there and looks perfectly normal.

No tombstone that I can see.

[jazzjunkysue]

11. Yes, but not enough to win the election. People change the channel.

Everything he's saying is informed and elegant and true. But this population wants a cat fight.

Call B*-Cheney names and double-dare them to a fist fight or at least a mud sling.

No drama. No entertainment. No chance of winning.

It's wierd, but Hilary's tainted marriage actually helps her because people find it interesting.

[nebenaube]

23. yeah... it should be like Jerry Springer.....

NOT!!!!!!!!!!

[jazzjunkysue]

28. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sonny Bono, Ronald Reagan,

another actor just declared for the presidency, and a rock star was elected into the congress. Al Franken will run,

This is a TV nation. Period. Like it or not, Paris Hilton has a better chance of being elected president than a ivy league lawyer in America.

We no longer know the difference between reality and what we watch on our plasma screens.

[KoKo]

36. Oh my god! I think that "The Donald" or his son has some chance of

running and winning then. Maybe for both PRES (Donald) and the Son (whatever his name is) as VP...if it's gotten as bad as you say!

[TahitiNut]

16. He occasionally lapses into "Senatorial mode."

:shrug:

[KoKo]

32. He was into it BIG TIME TONIGHT!

I'm an Al Gore Supporter...and I felt he was throwing the "LEFTY/Activists" under the BUS.. by ignoring the significance of Cindy Sheehan.

(this might be where you and I disagree on some stuff) but I agree that he LAPSED into "Senatorial Mode" and I'm not working my BUTT OFF for another JOHN KERRY DISASTER!

There's no one else except Kucinich I can think about...and I know (SOUND THE MEME) HE IS NOT ELECTABLE...because folks think he's an "elf." :-( But, DAMMIT...I'll give to keep him in the race just like last time when I gave to both Kerry and Kucinich..

[clayton]

7. al gore

answers are too lengthy. Taking too long to get to the point

[jazzjunkysue]

14. Agreed. He has to pretend he's talking to 4th graders, or forget it.

This is unfortunately the way to win an election.

[BlooInBloo]

18. Yup. Americans are fucking idiots.

[KoKo]

33. He doesn't do well in many formats. But, Keith should have been a good place for him

to shine. Don't know if it was "chemistry" that Gore was so cautious. He was TOO CAUTIOUS... You had to have seen him SHINE in the Move On speeches he gave before Chimp's CodPiece was exposed. And, he did great in other interviews about his book.

It's amazing that he would do so poorly on Keith's show. I can't figure it out...except that he's decided to run and like all of them..he becomes "overly cautious" about what he says. Or, he just couldn't hit it off with Keith. :shrug:
