2. I'll bet Tweety has Weiner back. He's got a good swing & hits em hard if they're over the plate.

4. I can't stand Tweety's style
He is obnoxious and rude. Weiner is great. We need more of him.

14. I agree. It seems like he is reading everything and he must be hard of hearing becasue he actually
yells everything without voice inflection and I can't listen to him anymore!

5. Why in the hell does Tweety think that Weiner..
or any other Dem should be worried about the Repugs as though they are the be all and end all. This is the problem with assholes like Tweety.

6. What's with this "60 votes" meme? Is the sticking point really that Kennedy might miss the cloture
vote and thus 1 Repuke will be needed for cloture? is that it?

7. I like this guy, he seems sharp, scrappy and principled.

someone willing to fight for what is right for the American people, with a tempered realism. I think he's misreading Obama's position and strategy though. Obama's strategy of lobbying and playing the stakeholders behind the scenes, and publically marginalizing the opposition as obstructionists and loonies is working quite well. I predict he succeeds in some form of public option.

8. I love Anthony Weiner
he held his own with Matthews--and I think that Matthews respected him for that. Weiner didn't back down and didn't let Matthews put words in his mouth.

10. 1. Who gives a F__K what the Repugs think??...
Edited on Wed Aug-19-09 03:36 PM by alllyingwhores
1. Who gives a F__K what the Repugs think?? F__K THEM THEY LOST...oh and by the way, the majority of the American people want the public option.

2. It's painfully obvious that Obama has made a deal with the insurance companies and pharmas and is using the bipartisan bullshit as a cover.

3. Tweety is a F__KING RUDE, and not too bright, corporate mouthpiece.

4. Weiner is principled and articulate...kind of makes you wonder why Obama can't articulate the same argument?

11. I think I'm in love;
Weiner for President! What an intelligent, thoughtful and informational talk he gave. BTW, Tweety was playing devil's advocate.

13. Boy he is great. Wonderful to see someone not intimidated by these pompous blown-up mediocrities
of the media. He can think (and talk) rings around Matthews and has a fitting respect for his own position as a Congressman. In a better world, there would be more like him.
