Tweety's brilliant assessment: "God Help John Kerry"

[girl gone mad]

Everyone on his panel agreed that none of the DNC speeches matched tonight's RNC speeches.

What a joke.

[hatrack]

1. Yes, and a dead heat in Virginia. VIRGINIA!

Obviously, it's game, set and match for Bush - NOT!!!!!!!! ;-)

[Virginian]

8. A dead heat? Here? Hooray!!!

:party: :bounce: :bounce: :toast: :party: :bounce:

[hatrack]

31. Yup. Neck and neck.

There's a post out there . . . somewhere in the wilds of DU . . . I'm too drunk to find it at the minute . . .

[iwantmycountryback]

2. Seriously?

LMAO. Compare the Governator's speech to Clinton's. How fucking stupid can the media whores who can get.

[girl gone mad]

6. They're obvious GOP whores.

I mean, come on, even the most die hard Republican has to laugh at Arnold.

Why are they trying to make him out to be the second coming of Ronald Reagan? At least Reagan knew how to deliver his lines. Arnold was never much of an actor.

[AuntPatsy]

7. Cause he hates Clinton...

It's no big secret. As far as Mathews on the defense at times of what would appear to be democrats. I still stand by my original assesment that his beef is with those against Viet nam purple hearts etc regarding Kerry but touching other vets as well..

His brother is one...that issue is personal for him, he is definately not on our side...

[abrock]

13. Yeah, I agree.

That clinton speech at the DNC earlier this year was the best political speech I've ever seen in my life. You can't compare anything thats been done this year on the podium, from the left or right, to that speech.

Obviously, Obama's would be second, though. :)

[Cha]

28. Unbelievably Fucking Stupid it

turns out! Why can't they just be Sane and say ..arnie's speech sounds like jingoistic clap and it was bushleague compared to say Clinton's masterpiece.

Or Barack Obama's, or Al Gore's, or Ted Kennedy's or Wes Clark's, John Edwards, or John Kerry's? x(

[girl gone mad]

37. I do remember that they really liked Wes's speech, but..

then they bashed him mercilessly for not doing better in the primaries. Said he was a "one trick pony" (direct quote), and didn't understand the issues. Ugh.

[krkaufman]

40. Cheerist! Wes "didn't understand the issues"?

How ridiculous? Wes, as well or better than any of our candidates, cut the issues down to their basics, and offered fresh approaches.

Why am I surprised that the mediawhores continue to denigrate him?

[RevCheesehead]

41. ..and let's not forget Al Sharpton!

[PROGRESSIVE1]

3. Cable "News" is so blatently biased against us.

We need a Left Wing Fox.

[RevCheesehead]

That would be a hound, I believe

[TheWebHead]

4. it's obnoxious

ask Tweety a month from now... Of course just after you hear a speech you remember it more than one you heard a month ago. It's pretty apparent GE is in the tank for Bush, apparently blackballing Democrats from appearing this week. Ditto TimeWarner & of course News Corp.

[Sparkly]

5. Incredible

I didn't see much of the RNC convention, I admit. But what I have seen was dry, negative, attacking Kerry, with lies and quotes out of context, and shamelessly exploiting 9/11.

But our media will spin it, as usual, as a huge success. Whether people saw any of it or not, they'll hear "Republicans were great," "Momentum for Republicans," "Republicans beat out Democrats," etc... thus *creating* a bounce.

For the DNC, they focused on a 4-day poll that ran two days prior to the conference's beginning and 2 days into it, as I recall, and rushed to declare failure: "Where is the bounce? No bounce! We were expecting a bounce! No bounce!"

Sickening.

[doc03]

17. Tweety asked the assholes who gave the best speech and one

picks Rudy, one picks Pickles, one picks AAArnold and one picks McCain. I guess they were the four best speeches in history and I missed them all. During the Democratic convention they had all Repuglican pundits, now with the Repuglican convention they have all Repuglican pundits. Where the hell are the Democrats? The only one I have seen so far is Ronnie Jr..

[Sparkly]

22. Exactly.

Republicans for the DNC, Republicans for the RNC. I guess that's what they consider consistent, or fair and balanced.

[krkaufman]

43. That's what I suspected.

Same for PBS' News Hour program. All Rethuglican panelists, followed by "independent" Presidential historians.

It would be unbelievable -- if it weren't so effing typical.

Just ridiculous.

[girl gone mad]

29. Tweety did say..

Guiliani and Arnold gave two of the best speeches in history. He's "never hearrd anything like it."

[Cha]

34. This is America, folks! Until we change it!

Or this is how they would like America to be! Not a chance!

[w13rd0]

9. None of the DNC speeches matched?!?!

Gee, they must have been watching their own networks coverage. For those that watched on C-Span, and were able to actually LISTEN to both, there was no comparison.

DNC: excellent speeches, good speakers, sincere
RNC: fortune cookie bullshit to cover a right wing agenda

[Sparkly]

11. You summed it up! Why not paste that to MSNBC?

Wouldn't hurt! :)

[blm]

10. Tweety, Arnold INSULTED every man trying to put food on the table

for his kids. Every working class father who couldn't stretch his paycheck for school shoes this week.

GO TO HELL YOU HEARTLESS BASTARDS.

[WiseMen]

12. Honesty Please!! RNC Slapping of Dems MORE EFFECTIVE that DNC Effort

Blunt talk works.
Red meat works.
Negative works.
The Big Lie works.

Average Joe undecided does not pay enough attention to decipher
nuance. It works for Joe when you slam the other guy and
make the differences simple and crystal clear.

Repub, sadly are doing a great job. I HATE IT!

[Cha]

36. So it works for the whorepundits...I don't buy

that it's working for America.

[Feanorcurufinwe]

39. Your post is total bullshit.

Your worthless assertions that the Republican lies are superior, more effective and more persuasive than the Democratic truths make me sick. :puke:

[RummyTheDummy]

44. Bingo and that's why we're going to lose

And lose big if things don't change very rapidly inside the Kerry campaign. Kerry is a good canidate who isn't being done justice by his handlers.

The two-week implosion has been nothing short of breathtaking, in a very bad, disconcerting way.

[Feanorcurufinwe]

46. I'll bet you $100 Kerry is inaugurated on January 20

since you're so sure we're going to lose, this is your chance to make some money.

[RummyTheDummy]

47. Blah blah blah

The empty internet I don't know you, you don't know me, bet. No thanks.

How can you deny this has been a bad two weeks. I can't see how anyone can, in their right mind, say this has just been rosy and that there's been no shift in momentum whatsoever.

But I will say, given my betting history, I should take you up on it. We might just win.

14. He was oozing over Barak Obama's speech at the DNC

Matthews changes his opinion as often as he changes his ties. The man has no journalistic ethics. Oh wait! He's not a journalist. Mo Rocca is a better journalist.

[GingerSnaps]

15. They can't remember any speech from the DNC "Obama"

I guess they forgot his speech.

[blueblitzkrieg]

16. I'm pissed.

I love how all the cable shows have only Republican advisors and pundits commenting on the convention. Where the fuck are the Democrats???? I hate this shit. On all the stations I've seen nothing but a virtual love-fest.

[George_Bonanza]

18. Blueblitzkrieg is right

Right now on Larry King, they're all GOP "analysts". When the DNC was on, we had shitmen like Dole putting down every Democrat who ever opened his/her mouth.

[gauguin57]

19. Arnold's speech was all sizzle, no steak. The Big Dawg's

speech was a big ol' heapin' helpin' of STEAK AND SIZZLE!

No comparison.

You can say the same for Obama and Edwards and Kerry and a lot of others at the Dem. convention.

Hell, little Ilana Wexler had more substance in her speech than Ahnold.

[mitchum]

20. How can Tweety talk with the chimp's cock in his mouth?

an amazing man

[AuntPatsy]

21. Not true, actually Scarbourough claimed victory to

Clinton which sent Mathews in a rage of words condeming Clinton. Scarbourough though blantantly biased towards the right still insisted that Clinton is by far the better speaker...

[PROGRESSIVE1]

24. Joe got Chris with that one!

:bounce:

[Sparkly]

25. I missed that, but how quickly they forgot Carter and Obama

Those were GREAT speeches -- serious, substantial, and honest. Very different from each other, but both outstanding.

There's no comparison with this charade.

[AuntPatsy]

27. I agree thatr the others deserve mention...

But at least Clinton got some airtime even if for a few moments. I thought Mathews was going to come out of his chair.

[Cha]

23. What are they smoking?

:+ :smoke: :smoke: :smoke: :smoke: :+

[FrenchieCat]

26. I remember Tweety

cutting away from Al Sharpton speech saying "way too partisan"...

By arnuld can call Democrats liars, and that's just dandy....best speech!

Wow.....we are talking real A+ whore here!

SIMPLY MAAAARVALOUS!!

[Cha]

30. So is tweety # one Whore of the Night?

I bet the repukes are loving this..and the Dems are saying .."Whaaaat?!

[Protected]

33. LOL, great point

[Sparkly]

35. Great point, Frenchie!!!

Send it to them!!!

32. Did you catch it earlier tonight....

when even Scarface said that Clinton really knows how to preach in a church and then Tweety says, "well, he goes to church but thew whole time he has monica on his mind and his going to church was fake."

WTF? People sin and repent and go to church....obviously Tweety is a perfect human being and has never sinned in his life.....I hate that man!

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

38. I can think of several memorable speeches at the DNC

Wes Clark's moving speech with the moment of silence. Teddy Kennedy gave a terrific speech. Clinton's, Obama's, and Kerry's were great. I didn't anything memorable tonight. The RNC speeches like the GropenFuhrer's speech are like Chinese food...one day later we will still be hungry for some substance, ANY substance to come out of the mouths of Republicans. And I'm confident that we won't hear it. This convention is all fluff, cute stunts (like the Twins and the Saturday Night Live take-off), and a blatant exploitation of 911. We won't remember anything that takes place in this convention and I don't think it will have any lasting effect. After it's over, we'll still be one bad day in Iraq or one terrible set of government statistics from another Bush circling of the drain.

[dennis4868]

42. I do not know....

how anyone can objectivelt say that Barak Obama's speech was not the best of all the speeches! He was so articulate and inspiring....cant compare it to any other speech....he did not inject fear or play with peoples' emotions.....he was talking to everyone....he is something special!

[seabeyond]

45. i liked sharpton too

and dont give a shit if tweety didnt
