Sputtering imbecile.

[tedoll78]

Mr Matthews.. this is incredible.

Kudos, good sir.

[The Backlash Cometh]

[southern_belle]

[KathieG]

9. This is awesome!

[spanone]

11. an ass whoopin'

[chelsea0011]

10. LOL..."You are allowed to say uncle on this show".

[Gabi Hayes]

12. to the pug: it's OK if you say uncle!!!!

this is right up there with the Michelle Malkin confrontation

[alsame]

13. Tweety is pissed!! Tells repub he's allowed to 'cry uncle' and

admit his party is full of crap.

[Blaq Dem]

14. Chris Matthews on 'Hardball'?

He's definitely nailing them on that "lipstick on a pig" crap. The republican guy (can't recall his name)is tripping over himself.

[tedoll78]

17. At one point,

he was almost staring down at the desk in front of him. His body language was sooooo horrible and uncomfortable to watch. He knew he was in for an ass-kicking..

[Starry Messenger]

18. I think it's Tim Graham

http://www.mediaresearch.org/bios/graham/welcome.asp

I called him an orwellian pigboy yesterday...he's the one who made the crack about "lesbian Rachel Maddow" having her own show.

MPK

[spanone]

19. he's a prick...tweety 'this is like Seinfeld'

[Starry Messenger]

27. He's a total prick.

I read about him for an hour yesterday online. He's practically the godfather of the "liberal media" meme.

MPK

[Blaq Dem]

54. John Feehery, is the republiKKKan's name

[Starry Messenger]

57. I just saw that on the repeat. I'm off to the googles!

MPK

[Starry Messenger]

59. Ooh, even nastier.

http://pundits.thehill.com/john-feehery/

He worked for the bugman! Taking political advice from tom DeLay's former political whip, McCain?

Sad. The talent pool in the McCain camp so far has been weak. After the Bush presidency I now hold higher standards for liars thankyouverymuch.

MPK

[Buttercup McToots]

15. That idiot won't quit...

ha ha ha:rofl:

[spanone]

16. tweety;s showing the ad ONE MORE TIME from the mccain campaign

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

20. Tweety: "It's like Seinfeld" (in other words, a campaign about nothing)

[FatDave]

21. He's got a book!

Written by a McCain campaign person! Called....LIPSTICK ON A PIG!

[pgh_dem]

24. Funny to remember this, but maybe CM aware of that book.

I do recall one previous time Chris Matthews took a Bush surrogate to task as she attempted to run through her talking points on the Bush admin case for war in Iraq. He tore her apart, she looked like she just then noticed she'd gotten lost on the way to Fox News or Tim Russert's show.
It was former Pentagon spokeswoman and author of 'Lipstick on a Pig', Victoria Clarke.
So maybe it rang a bell when they tried to make a stink about the line.

[gmoney]

25. Here's the book...

http://www.amazon.com/Lipstick-Pig-Winning-No-Spin-Someone/dp/0743271165/ref=si3_rdr_bb_product

The first chapter is online, where she talks about McCain and Keating...

[Beaverhausen]

22. Please someone- if there is video post a link

for those of us cuberats! Thanks.

[Blaq Dem]

26. Won't it re-air at 7p ET?

Where I'm at, it always comes on twice.

[FatDave]

29. It will reair at 7 and MSNBC will put it on their podcasts page later.

A youtube video might beat the official one.

[Beaverhausen]

37. but I'll still be at work. I think it airs again at midnight

I just have to wait until then I guess. :cry:

[DainBramaged]

30. it's WAY too early, probably available tomorrow

If I was home I'd be recording it on my NEW PCI tv card on my computer.

[spanone]

28. rep mary fallin.....uggggggg what a mindless twit

republicans are ugly to the bone

[AirmensMom]

32. Are all repugs this stupid?

Tweety keeps asking them what their standard of proof is and they can't answer him. So now since Palin said "lipstick", no one else can. :banghead:

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

33. Ha, another complete skewering in the making

She said that several Obama aides have used the term "lipstick on a pig". Tweety was prepared. He read off an exhaustive list of Republicans who have used the same expression.

[lumberjack_jeff]

31. skewing? Do you mean skewering? n/t

[spanone]

35. skrewing

[lumberjack_jeff]

47. Skwewy

[spanone]

52. i did mean skewering....

[bamacrat]

34. Rightwingers dont want to acknowledge that Palin said this about Hillary.

McCain and Cheney have both uesd this analogy. People where I live wait for anything negative to Obama to come out and pounce, not realizing they should check things out and see if their candidate is guilty of the same tasteless analogy. Fucking douches.

[Arrowhead2k1]

36. I kind of feel sorry for the guy.

I really don't think he believes what he's saying but it's his job. McCain camp owes Obama an apology for putting up that misleading ad and they should also apologize to their own staff for forcing them to spew that garbage.

[spanone]

38. she's saying that obama called mccrook a stinky old fish.....bwahahahahaha

[Blaq Dem]

40. Well,,,,McCain IS a stinky old fish

Ha Ha!!!

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

39. "The crowd laughed"

Ah, that says it all. That proves it. If the crowd laughed, Obama must have been referring to Sarah Palin. Every Repuke talking ass on TV strangely brings up that same talking point.

There's never been crowd laughter before at a political speech, right? Laughter or applause are unheard of. Every time a Democratic audience laughs, it's uniquely because Sarah Palin was mentioned.

[spanone]

41. she was a piece of work.....

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

42. Tweety gave a brief Special Comment, a la Olbermann

He addressed his audience and called the "lipstick on a pig" comment, not an insult to any person, but an insult to democracy (or something like that - my memory isn't what it used to be).

[spanone]

45. that was a great moment

[FatDave]

46. That floored me.

"An insult to our democracy." Wow.

[Maraya1969]

43. I'm loving it

[javert]

48. Matthews just slammed the Jesus was a community organizer

emails. Said "What are they thinking"

[Gabi Hayes]

51. he was going after the tennessee congressmen's comment that Pilate was a governor

feeling the need for 'balance'

he also showed the REALLY STUPID comment from the SC dem woman about Palin's only qualification's being not having an abortion

[craz3z]

49. I honestly felt like

I was watching Tweety disembowel the guy right before my eyes. It was a very satisfying moment after all the stupid shit that went on all day.

[DesertRat]

50. It's awesome! n/t

[Parker CA]

53. WOW! This is the best I have seen Mathews ripping into the pukes in awhile.

"You know, John (the puke strategist), you can come on this show and call uncle. You can say that your party is full of buck." NICE!!

55. Lipstick on a Pig, by Torie Clarke

Synopsis

Torie Clarke, renowned and respected in political and business circles as one of the nation's most gifted communicators, offers a complete guide to the new age of transparency. Clarke's message is refreshing and straightforward: No more spin. Always a dubious proposition, spin has become increasingly vulnerable as information sources have proliferated; spin is simply no longer viable. Or put another way, "You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig." Distilling her twenty-five years of experience and wisdom into eight concise rules, Clarke counsels that politicians and executives need to tell the truth early, often, and in plain language.

Clarke's experience is incomparable: She was the Pentagon's communications chief during the early years of George W. Bush's presidency and, prior to that, a high-ranking adviser to the first President Bush and to Senator John McCain. She illustrates her lessons with riveting behind-the-scenes accounts of some of our country's crucial moments over the last two decades -- for instance, as Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs under Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, she was at the Pentagon on September 11, 2001, and she recounts her experience that day as Rumsfeld's office strove to inform, instruct, and reassure the public.

Clarke shows that a policy of transparency not only protects you, but that you even stand to gain from it -- because once you figure out that you can't put lipstick on a pig, you've actually learned something far more powerful: not to create a pig in the first place. Her lessons for getting your message out include:


Tell your own story -- especially if it's bad news -- on yourown terms, before someone else tells it on theirs. It will allow you to survive controversy and will also enhance your reputation.

It's about one thing. Be ready and able to explain yourself to the proverbial man on the street in a clear, simple sentence or two.

Admit your mistakes, because the truth will out.
Entertaining, approachable, and full of crucial insight and practical guidance, Lipstick on a Pig will be indispensable for business leaders, public figures, and anyone working in media relations. With humor and savvy, Clarke's vision offers truly new opportunities for communications in the Information Age.
