Hardball makes Irey look foolish



By: John Amato on Friday, August 18th, 2006 at 2:23 PM - PDT
On Hardball last night, Diana Irey sent in some questions they thought Matthews should ask Murtha earlier in the show. He wasn’t too happy about it and shows the level of incompetence her campaign has as they try to attack Murtha.

Matthews: What are you—I got a letter here. I told you about it before we came on. This is a press release apparently issued by your press secretary. It was sent to me, with a list of 10 questions I‘m supposed to ask Murtha.

Here‘s one. The first one. “How hard is it for you”—I‘m supposed to ask this to Murtha; your press guy told me to do this—“knowing that my brother Jim, the Republican nominee from the (INAUDIBLE) of Pennsylvania, just appeared two days ago with your opponent Diana Irey to cut the ribbon at her new volunteer headquarters in your hometown of Johnstown?” Did you know about this letter coming to me, telling me what to ask Murtha and talking about my brother?

DIANA IREY ®, PA CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE: These are press releases that have been formally sent out. And we put them all together to give you some questions for Mr. Murtha that he has not answered for…

MATTHEWS: Yes, well, what—tell me why you want me to ask him about my brother running for lieutenant governor. What relevance is that to anything here on this show?

3. "Foolish" is an understatement! (eom)

4. That woman is a dipshit

Her press aide sends out a notice and she doesn't know what the content of it is? Give me a break! :eyes:

Irey is a small-time player married to a war profiteer, who was dredged up by individuals fueled by hatred of Jack Murtha to run against him. She's way out of her league here.

Nice Philly smackdown by Mr. Matthews.

6. I saw it..and Matthews put down...but he looked very nervous like maybe

his producer was looking over his shoulder. She was a typical "Young Republican Stepford" ...programmed to be an overconfident TWIT. I couldn't imagine her running against Murtha. It was like MTV REPUG meets distinguished elder statesman old enough to be her father or grandfather.

She was well programmed though and barely batted an eye when Matthews went after her.

7. I would love to see the Murtha -Irey debate !

:evilgrin:

I saw that segment when it aired, like fingernails across the chalkboard

:crazy:
