You can always count on Chuck Todd to be an apologist for the GOP. This time it is Mitch McConnell.

[swayne]

On MSNBC carrying water for the GOP and saying how "tough" a politician Mitch McConnell is. Telling how they are defending the Ashley Judd smears. Can't call it what it is, a below the belt attack.

When is MSNBC going to get rid of him and get Soledad O'Brien to take his place?

Oh, yeah...that's right they can't. He was one of the Russert guys.....

1. "This could be a crime!"...Yeah, yeah, you go Chuck...n/t

[swayne]

2. Taping people (public officials) in public is a CRIME? In what universe?

If Chuck had any pride, he would be ashamed of making a statement like that...and Tweety should have called him on it.

8. Kentucky law requires at least on party present at a recording be aware of the recording in progress

Technically, Chuckie was correct.

Quite a few states have the same law.

[swayne]

11. The law DOESN'T apply when the recording is made when a party to the meeting records the meeting.

I would bet that someone recorded the meeting who McConnell knew and was invited to the meeting. They were way too comfortable in what they were saying and obviously thought they couldn't be recorded. Where was this meeting held?

3. Well, who listens to the flabby, twerpy Mephistopheles, anyway?

His whingy little voice is pathetic and ineffectual. His on-camera presence is poor on a good day--someone should tell him he's way overdue for a make-over!

[11 Bravo]

4. I just listened to him. He flatly and emphatically said that there is not one shred ...

of evidence that Turtle Boy's office was bugged. He went on to say that the office was swept and no bug was found. Then he pointed out how poorly McConnell is regarded in KY, but how that running a smear campaign is what he does best.
I'm not a huge Chuck Todd fan, but for fuck's sake, we had to be watching two different shows.

[Cha]

5. I guess so! There's been evidence of chuck

before acting like he's all bent from carrying gop H2O but this doesn't sound bad at all.

It might turn out to be not so good for mcconnell.. especially after the brilliant statement Ashley Judd made.

[swayne]

6. Bravo, that's the point, McConnell IS claiming that Democrats have "bugged" him.

Watch the show at 7:00 pm. Chuck was certainly carrying water on the disgusting talk that McConnell obviously made on Ashley Judd--and how it shows that McConnell is a tough politician.

Now YOU are carrying water for Chuck Todd....

[summerschild]

7. My memory fails me more often now, but seems

I remember Karl Rove bugging his own office so he could accuse the other side.

Any young whipper snappers on line remember the whole sorry tale?

McConnell is sleazey enough to do something like that.

[IDemo]

9. I have a feeling about the "bug"

More than likely a cellphone.

[HipChick]

10. Or just a simply USB recording pen.

Many people use them for recording meeting notes...
