John Kerry just wiped the floor with Lieberman - Stayed on his ankle

[Mira]

like a terrier.
Good on Kerry - Lieberman seemed like a little snot nosed brat - filled to the gills with the most recent republican talking points.
Brokaw is so wrong for this job - he can't direct the traffic

[saltpoint]

1. Lieberman is never much scrutinized by the FOX News types who

interview him as he spews pro-Republican positions, but against Democrats like Kerry, Lieberman is a house of cards.

[YvonneCa]

26. No kidding...

...didn't Kerry do GREAT? :)

[saltpoint]

27. Hi, YvonneCa. Kerry is so sure-footed and surgical.

Lieberman was no match from the git-go!

[YvonneCa]

28. "Surgical" is such a descriptive...

...word for Kerry in interviews. He really focuses in on the points to rebut and the ones he intends to make...like a laser! He get the job done EVERY time. He is a real asset to Obama.

[saltpoint]

29. Agree. A true-blue, deep-down asset.

And shame on the people in this nation who thought George W. Bush was a superior public servant than John Kerry.

Shame on them.

Shame on their worthless bones.

[YvonneCa]

41. Shame on their 'taking- democracy- for- granted-ness'...

...and their 'irresponsible citizen-ness' that enabled four extra years of this mess. :7

[Breeze54]

2. Oh.... MTP isn't on here yet.... LIEberman is easy to squash

He's a frigging idiot, turncoat.

[gratuitous]

8. Oooh, I'll bet Brokaw just clobber McThuselah about his repeated references to Czechoslovakia

Mmmp. Snerk. Uh oh.

:rofl:

I just knew I couldn't type that with a straight face.

:rofl:

Oh my.

[Breeze54]

16. Um... I was talking about KERRY!!!!!

Duh... :eyes:

[gratuitous]

17. Oh, Brokaw didn't join the dog pile?

Color me surprised as all get out. The media's job the last couple of decades seems to have been to survey the carnage on the political battlefield and shoot the surviving wounded. Maybe that's all changing now that the wounded are Republicans like Lieberman?

Note to self: Learn to use "sarcasm" smiley.

[Breeze54]

18. Ha! Brokaw just showed that over 50K have signed petiton to OUST LIEberman!!

:rofl: Go Brokaw!! :woohoo:

[karynnj]

21. Brokaw was 100% on Leiberman's side - as you would expect

But Kerry is better than both Brokaw and Leiberman.

[nc4bo]

3. Happy to hear and expected no less LOL. Doesn't come on til 10:30 where I am. nt

[Evergreen Emerald]

4. I turned the TV off in anger when Kerry said talked about drilling

off our shores to help fix the Washington political gridlock. That is what Pelosi did--compromise FISA / IRAQ. I am getting tired of dems refusing to stand up for what is right.

[pretzel4gore]

5. it's optics,

the gopigs were trying to paint Obama 'anti bottom line' and Obama shrugged his shoulders: who cares about offshore drilling - a criminal gang is in charge of the government, biz and media! Remember months ago the revelation Obama said reagan was 'inspiration'? Or Obama's recent 'vows' to israel? It's precisely because obama has avoided hitting these landmines (and being blown outta the water) that we're arguing about him today. Just to survive in the ted bundy media world is a great achievement...

[beachmom]

6. There are already places approved for offshore drilling.

And as to new ones, limited in scope, environmental groups will immediately sue. Frankly, I doubt any of them will be drilled. I also was annoyed with this shift by Obama (and Kerry is an Obama surrogate here), but the more I thought about it, the more sound it is. The polls show 60% of Americans are for offshore drilling. You can't fight that. This has little to do with Republicans but with the American people.

The most infuriating thing about the Bush Administration was that they only represented their voters. To hell with everyone else, who didn't vote for Bush. I do not want the Democratic version of that. Obama will govern everyone, even those who vote for McCain. So you're going to have to brace yourself -- you are not going to get everything you want, but Obama will steer the ship in the direction you want.

[Breeze54]

14. It has a LOT to do with the GOP, M$M PROPAGANDA & LIES!!!!

:grr:

[beachmom]

19. No, it doesn't. Krugman said on KO that the media DID do a good job getting the truth out.

And yet the American people are STILL for it.

[Breeze54]

23. Well; Krugman is wrong and I don't agree at all ! If they'd done a good job,

then 73% would be against it!!!

[karynnj]

25. You should have left the TV on and you completely got it wrong

You totally mischaracterized Kerry's comment. 1) he said he, personally, is against it and 2) he explained that Obama is for it ONLY if it is the only way to break the grid lock and only with qualifications. The one who sold his soul there was Lieberman who was as pro-drilling as anyone in spite of having had in 2004 a lifetime LCV rating in the 90s. Kerry made the statement that the issue was
"fraudulent" in two separate comments - just the same as he always did. Kerry actually did stand up for all the things he always did, but he explained Obama's position.

[wisteria]

35. he was taking Obama's position on working past gridlock. Kerry personally thinks the whole argument

is a FRAUD. Kerry was speaking the truth.

[Supersedeas]

7. Brokaw showed his true quality as a GoP shill by going after Obama

[arthritisR_US]

32. he sure did and he gave more air time to leibershit and let the little

prick interrupt constantly....fuck I hate leibershit!!! Sorry, but the exchange I just saw on Meet the Shills has pissed me off royally!:banghead:

[Faygo Kid]

9. Congrats on 1,000 posts

Happened to notice the 999.

[Breeze54]

11. It'd still 999 ....

:P

[Mira]

31. WOW you noticed....I posted 1000 a little later - it's "Short Sweet and Grateful"

and made it to the Greatest Page a little before this one

[Faygo Kid]

33. I was hoping for the honor through a reply. . .

Nevertheless, I will bravely soldier on, even though my Sunday is ruined.

:cry:

(Just kidding, of course. Hey, it's a great milestone, and deserved notice.)

[Breeze54]

10. MTP starting here in 2 minutes.... this should be fun...

:eyes:

I can't stand listening to LIEberman's voice. He's sooo smarmy! :puke:

[karynnj]

12. Says the Celebrity ad is "cute" and not bad

[Breeze54]

13. The idiots on MTP are talking the same shit as ABC & CBS ... Sun. pukefest!

:puke:

Kerry's right. The GOP is engaged in character assassination with that stoopid Ad by McDim.

[Breeze54]

15. O.M.G.- Hey LIEberman! STFU, you GOP mouthpiece!!

He just had to get that Poor poor pitiful McDim; "isn't racist" propaganda talking point in...

The same sentence has been stated on all the shows today.

[karynnj]

20. I can't believe he has the chutzpah

to accuse Kerry of not giving the troops credit - when he cut Kerry off as he was starting to say - as he always does that they were doing all that was asked of them. Leiberman is now even using that Republican line.

[beachmom]

22. Lieberman is shameless. That was Gore's biggest mistake in 2000:

picking Lieberman as a running mate. The man has no character.

[Breeze54]

24. "Leiberman is now even using that Republican line.".. Um... he IS a rethug!! n/t

[Inuca]

38. Chutzpah?

I would call it shamelessness.

[izzybeans]

30. Brokaw was horrible. His faux-indignation on non-issues was pretty telling.

[arthritisR_US]

36. I couldn't agree more! n/t

[wisteria]

34. I agree, Kerry was excellent. Lieberman was behaving like a Republican whore.

He is an embarrassment to our party. I think he is vengeful and is willing to sell the party out for perceived wrongs done against him.

[Lisa0825]

37. Brokaw was PATHETIC. He couldn't control either of them.

He kept trying to ask pointless questions about stupid things like the "face on the dollar bills" and Kerry and LIEberman kept ignoring those questions and arguing about whatever they wanted. Kerry did a very nice job swatting the pesky little bug that kept buzzing in his ear.

[JerseygirlCT]

43. Maybe he thought that was better?

Frankly, the less I hear from a moderator, the better the discussion can be in these situations. Kerry did a terrific job touching on all sorts of important issues and didn't let anything side-track him.

[Lisa0825]

44. Well, he kept trying to interrupt and redirect them, but it wasn't working.

So I don't think it was going the way he intended, but it was better in the way that they actually discussed substantive issues, which the MSN generally does poorly.

[JerseygirlCT]

45. Yeah, that was my impression, too nt

[travelingtypist]

39. Lieberman did have his whine on there.

I didn't find Kerry's performance all that overwhelming. Of course, I dont' like Kerry. The comment about Wes Clark on John McCain was weasely, and saying that HolyJoe would still be welcome in the Democratic caucus once we don't need him was weasely.

[ccharles000]

40. John rules.

[JerseygirlCT]

42. I thought so too

And wondered why Brokaw didn't attempt to "even things out" as so many of these moderators do when the Democrat is shining.

I think Lieberman came off as whiney and whimpy - no surprise. He had nothing cogent to say, and only wanted to repeat his excuses for why John McCain is such a great guy.

I loved when Kerry asked him about his own about-face on off-shore drilling. You know, in his first senate run, Lieberman tried to position himself as the environmental guy. Amazing what he'll do for love, huh?
