The republicans will have so much damaging video on Matthews. He doesn’t stand a chance.

Tweety? Urgh.

The Franken factor.

Anti GOP video would help him these days. But you’re right–there is a lot if video out there to shut him down.

Mathews can kiss my ass. Why in the world would anybody elect him for anything. He twists with the wind depending on who he wants to appear on his TeeVee show. NBC/MSNBC/General Electric needs to be as far away from govenment as possible. Is this his reward for telling Hillary to drop outta the primaries since the beginning. He lead off every show since the 2006 mid-term election with “Hillary”. Its been one hitjob after another from the beginning of this election cycle. I don’t beleive he’ll be able to count on the “youth vote” either although he sure is tryin with all his campus shows.

Hardball Host Chris Matthews may take on Pennsylvania’s senior Senator Arlen Specter.
>> TJ ROONEY: I talked to him a little bit about it this week. I questioned his sanity, but we talked about it.
>> FARRIS: State Democratic Chair TJ Rooney says Matthews, a Pennsylvania native, hasn’t committed to the run. But Rooney says any candidate who does decide to face off with Specter can’t run an ordinary campaign. That candidate will have to be well-funded and very compelling to voters. >>

>>FARRIS: Other Democratic names being tossed around as possible challengers are State Representative Josh Shapiro of Delaware County, Congressman Joe Sestak and Montgomery County Congresswoman Allyson Schwartz.

Why’s everyone so repulsed by this?

Now, when LouDobbin announces HIS candy-date-see, THEN I worry.

Shall we have a contest to guess what party he’ll represent?

Whig or Royalist perhaps.

Okay, I’m laughing. Worked hard on deciphering what blog-shorthand wfmz stands for. Who’s f’ing with my Zen?

Ok more reason to leave NJ. I’ll be saturated by the Philly media. Ugh.

If Spector drops out for health reasons would Tom Ridge step into the breach? Tweety started his career as an aide to Tip O’Neill but it could be a slugfest. A lot could also depend on Obamas success over the next two years.

my goodness me! too many trips to the giblets yestidie? try having a little lie-down in a quiet room.

now I’m laughing, I’m going to start using it. WFMZ?
lol!

seriously!

oh well wfmz, so much for the myth of Thanksgiving calm….

turn it off?

Naw that’s too easy. :)

Ah ha. Ever the clever writer, you.
And, congratulations.

(((demi))) g’morning.

Why in the world would anybody elect him for anything. He twists with the wind …
Isn’t twisting what politicians do best?

Heh, Heh, Heh indeedy.

ohmygosh, you read ‘em all!

I cannot imagine Matthews in the senate. I think lazy intellectually is one way to describe him. What has he done that shows he cares about what is happening to people?

If Matthews can’t do a better job about issues like this one, he doesn’t have a chance. Elections are clearly not about who understands the issues better.

Watch Lieberman Sucks. Leave a comment!

better job communicating

I cannot imagine Matthews Bush in the senate White House. I think lazy intellectually is one way to describe him. What has he done that shows he cares about what is happening to people?

Fixed it for ya.

Snarlin Arlen versus Mindless Matthews, it sounds like a wrestling match. I don’t want the image of either of these guys in Speedos wagging their pects in my mind ever.

I usually try to read everything before I comment. Sometimes, if the post is long and intellectual, I even take notes.
Context is something I value.

1,839 DAYZ AND THE KILLIN’ GOEZ ON AND ON AND…

Citizen Hamsher and the Firepup Freedom Fighters:

Awe shit, thanx a bunch Sister Jane, ya really got my weekend off to a great start with this “news”. Lately I been bouncin’ around like a manic on Prozac withdrawal…who the hell won this last election anyway??!! Obama puts tagether the biggest, strongest, fastest election machine the Democratic Party has seen in 76 years and we’re still left beggin’ for votes from these undead political cadavars like Arlen Specter and Joe Lieberwurst…and now ya tell me we might be dancin’ with a fuckin’ Senator Tweety??!!

And where is Howard Dean fittin’ in the “new” Democratic political superstructure? I can’t believe that Pennsylvania is that screwed up that Tweety the Shill would actually be a consideration for Democratic opposition ta Specter…are ya sure he’s not plannin’ ta run in the primary as a “real” Republican?? Tell me this ain’t happenin’!

KEEP THE FAITH AND PASS THE AMMUNITION, THE MORE THINGS CHANGE THE MORE FUCKED THEY BECOME!!

Thanks Jayne! Tweety ignorantly spews the wingnut Neocon aganda, only rarely throwing the progressives a bone to justify himself being a cool guy. While campaigning, I wonder if he will remove the small mirror (camera) attached to the top his left shoe that he uses to look up womens skirts?

Matthews has his foot in the door because he runs in the same cocktail weenie circuit as the “esteemed” members of the Senate. Remember, it’s a club of peers and not a representative institution.

OT A 34 year old Walmart worker was trampled to death at a Walmart store on Long Island by stampeeding shoppers.
Greed it seems is not limited to Wall Street It is just that some are bought off for a lot less.

Matthews is Catholic, and in today’s atmosphere, I wouldn’t want to be another Catholic trying to win an election. The church is taking too active a role in politics and it now seems willing to try to impose their own religious beliefs on others that do not believe the same way. They’re also attempting to meddle with their flock’s free will in ways that they used to keep more restrained.

Well, Spector will I am sure show clips of Tweety’s greatest hits for the public.

Greed is apparently one of America’s values. What a bunch of disgusting animals out to save a buck.

I for one would love to see Tweety in Congress … following Rachel’s success, MSNBC would offer
his time slot to Marcy!

Tweety has frequently professed a love for politics. Given the paycut he would receive as a Senator, I am inclined to believe him. The question would have to be his capacity for and willingness to understand what is the the common good.

Honestly, I agree with you. I even think I’m closer to thinking that he does know in his heart what is in the common good, but has been trying his best, as an opinionated individual, to keep an open mind. Sometimes we just don’t see these people as torn between their heart and their desire to be objective as journalists.

I would have to ask, as far as Tweety is concerned, is he more interested in the process or some goals.

1) Matthews doesn’t have the discipline needed for a long campaign. Unless he’s reined in by a team of minders and backers along the lines of the ones that propped up Bush the Younger, he’ll never make it to the primaries, much less the general.

2) Joe Sestak and Ed Rendell got there first, and unlike Matthews they know what they’re doing.

Why is everyone assuming that Tweety will be the nominee. The voters of Pennsylvania just might have something to say about that. The political machine here, with an assist of Chuck Schumer, likes to dispense with the niceties of level playing field primaries. When progressive Chuck Pennacchio refused to pull out of the Senate race in 2006 the machine simply falsely suggested to the media that Pennacchio would not be on the ballot, and the media thereafter simply ignored Pennacchio. We are ready for them this time, and we plan to have something to say about who our candidates are. Ed Rendell is a party hack, and he can’t stand progressives. Matthews is right up his alley.

Jerry Policoff/Lancaster, Pa.

Will he be running as a Democrat or as a repub? He loved himself some George Bush; “Only the left wing wackos hate Bush.” Although he worked for Tip O’Neil he sure has been anti Democrat ever since. So I have to assume it would be as a repub.

He thinks he can win because of Franken. “If he can do it I can do it.” Well, Al was a comedian but Matthews is just a joke.

I could not have said it better. He took on Hillary every day for two years.He was dismissive of her and down right nasty. There are an awful lot of women who will remember when he puts his name on a ballot. Better stay at MSNBC where he can play his games!
