What were they referring to? Did Tweety actually call The Prince garbage?

If so, good for him.

Even Scarboro couldn't bail him out successfully.

Tom Brokaw comes in with the ridiculously lame "both sides are at fault" meme.

Chris Matthews it him with facts and Preibus wanted to run for the hills.

I guess I couldn't tell but I think you are probably right. I must have mistakenly thought it was the blonde woman on the panel or the RNC flack that was saying that. But again, I think you are right.

It's about time Repukes like Priebus were truly
challenged on their totally f-d up beliefs.

And y'know the thing about Tweetie Bird (the cartoon),
he always outsmarted Sylvester.

Go Tweetie !

I never thought I'd find someone more insufferable than Eric Cantor, but Priebus is giving him a run for his money.

It was the 8/23/12 Tonight Show with Jay Leno on NBC. He was saying, and I'm paraphrasing, that there are some people who have this certain magical quality that when they are in a room, they just draw people to them. He said Barack Obama has that quality, and so does Sarah Palin, although he lamented that she does not have that quality when she is in a little close-up box on the screen like they have been showing her on Fox News. He thinks she needs to be allowed to work the crowd. And I think he said he did not think Mitt had this same magic. Jay Leno giggled through it all.

the person's actual substance or worth, and in that, I would have had to agree with him, at least at that point.

She did energize the "base"...He was just talking "objectively" in terms of the "game" of political, which I think

He wasn't comparing her to Obama on the level of substance. He certainly leans democrat, which he's said

publicly, even if he's more of a centrist one. His parents, I think his entire family, excepting him, were Republican.

Not a big fan of Matthews but good for him. Wow, actual fact-based questions!

RP was hit with fact after fact and the best he could do was complain. Priebus, the obsequious, programmable fascist he is, simply spat out disjointed talking point after disjointed talking point and made no real substantive defense whatsoever.

Brokaw was typically disappointing as he simply blathered more false equivalence/both sides do it horseshit. He is/was a complete waste of space and time.

they know it's the race card, and they're all enabling it. The worst was Brokaw, if anyone wants to know the problem with the media just watch him. How many times have we heard these assholes tell us "what the American people are fed up with"? Fuck him, how would he know? What we're fed up with is assholes like Tom Brokaw.

Well done Chris. He couldn't answer because he had no answer. Rinse Penis looks like a powdered dandy - why in the world did they pick that guy to lead the party? I guess he has access to money funny because no one had ever heard of him before.


He was a lobbyist at a law firm (like Christie Kreme) who ran for Wisconsin State Senate and LOST (outspent the incumbent 3 to 1) and then suddenly became the Chairman of the Committee.
