discuss

[tabatha]

1. Cuts to the core.

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

3. Agreed.

[WCGreen]

2. Oh yea.....

Drop out of the Federal Employee System if you don't like publicly financed health care....

[malaise]

10. 100% correct

Harkin was also great earlier

[catbyte]

4. He was a hundred different shades of awesome just now

:woohoo: :applause:

5. He didn't give them hell... he told the truth, and made them think it was hell

:applause:

[mcar]

6. He was beautiful!

Shamed all those Rs and their smarmy lies and talking points.

[annabanana]

7. The repubs look pathetic.

They are slumping in their chairs and they know they are out-classed. They are all thinking "Maybe they can "fix" this in marketing" (i.e. media spin)

[old guy]

19. Right on the money.

It is rarely what happened but what the media tells us happened that gets the most air time.

[malaise]

8. Freaking brilliant

He tore the hypocrites a new one.
Drop out of the Federal Employee program if you don't think it's good enough. Tom Harkin is right.
That's how you do it.

[brooklynite]

9. Unrec'd

1. You didn't explain what this means to people not able to watch the meeting.

2. You didn't discuss anything about it.

[dixiegrrrrl]

12. Rec'd for the people who don't need DU cops.

I figure someone soon will put a clip up and now I have a heads up that I missed something I am interested in seeing.

[dionysus]

15. !!1!1

[wryter2000]

18. I know it's frustrating

But it's hard to type out what's happening when it's actually going on, and DUers want to share the moment with other people who are watching.

FYI, Keith O is doing a special show on this tonight. I'm sure he'll have all the good clips.

[dixiegrrrrl]

23. Thank you for THAT news, too.

I will remind myself to watch it.

Du at it's finest.....

[wryter2000]

25. Turns out Keith won't be on it

His father is near death. Tweety and some others are doing it.

[elocs]

20. Yeah, that would have been nice. How much time would it have taken?

But these threads are full of responses that don't tell you anything about what actually transpired. Not everyone is watching.

[slutticus]

21. Agreed. This doesn't need to be on the front page.

I need instant gratification!

[Lex]

22. I rec'd it

just to even it back up.

[mzmolly]

11. Best moment

so far. :D

[Cassandra]

14. +1000000000000000000

[frazzled]

13. My dear senator

There are hardly any better. I've loved him for years, long before I moved here and he became my senator.

[Bobbie Jo]

16. Yes!

:applause:

[theoldman]

17. I was pleasantly surprised.

It was an above average speech for him. It was way above average for any Republican speech.

[LaPera]

24. Here's a link...
