1. Oh you tease!

4. Dangit the one day I decide to read n/t

[Literate Tar Heel]

ha, I saw Bow Boy trot out the N.C. poll

that showed Bush leading there by 15 and get shut down by the Democratic strategist who quoted the new Mason-Dixon poll showing Bush up by only 3 and declared that the state was in play ... poor Tucker didn't have much to say about that

[Literate Tar Heel]

5. oops, posted twice ... n/t

[k in IA]

6. Thank God the Lieberman Dem knew of the Mason Dixon Poll in NC

when Tucker started spouting off about the Gallup poll.

[Wind Dancer]

9. Shocking, isn't it?

[k in IA]

How could Tucker not know of it? He must just be ignoring the polls with

numbers that don't fit his agenda.

[LittleApple81]

7. Begala is on fire! Accused Cheney of his dealings as CEO of Halliburton

with Iraq (What patriotic American would do that?) The repug woman (I don't know her) said nothing illegal. Begala: there are memos confirming he had a direct hand in approving the Halliburton contracts.
Then his statements about Atta/Prague: denial when he said it: why does Bush want such a liar on his ticket?

[Ducks In A Row]

29. it's almost mean teasing the rethugs

teasing them about Cheney when there's no way to get rid of him. He controls the strings, he is the puppetmaster.

8. I never watch TV before 7PM,ever.

Just a little personal rule.

[trumad]

12. Barbara Cumstock....

The repuke strategy is to say that there is no proof to allegations... LOL.... If you tell a repuke that shit stinks they'll deny it by saying there's no proof.

[Mojambo]

18. I've begun scheduling my TV watching

just like I would schedule anything else.
Being unemployed if I don't I'll watch all day long (no matter what's on)

Now, I'm down to watching only the programs that I really want to see. Television watching is now more of an event and less of a "do it whenever I don't want to do anything else" activity...

[candy]

32. I'm retired and I refuse to turn the thing on before 7:00----

I catch the news on the car radio and I'm sure if there is a huge,breaking news event someone will call me. They always do.

[greenbriar]

10. tucker is a pussy

and I hate it when Carville is not on.

he could mop the floor with tucker and his stupid little bow tie

[medeak]

23. Tucker any day rather than Novak

but miss Carville as well.

Lord...they had to trot out the homophobic photos of Kerry again. How long are we going to have to endure latent homosexuals self hatred?...or whatever this gay bashing thing is?

[Hoping4Change]

28. Hey there medeak!

Welcome to DU! Glad you're here!:hi:

[newyawker99]

37. Hi medeak!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[LittleApple81]

11. Barbara Comstock is the repug spokesperson.

Tucker: Cheney was not rich and he never whines and complains about it.
The Lieberman guy: he does not complain. He is proud of it.

[GiovanniC]

13. I'm Watching and Burning With Rage

More bullshit about Edwards vs. Cheney qualifications.

Big laundry list of shit Dick Cheney did, then three bullet points about Edwards:

- Six years as Senator
- Trial lawyer for jacuzzi cases
- "Lifetime of Caring"

Motherfuckers. First of all, those "jacuzzi cases" was a case where a jucuzzi flayed and disemboweled a child.

Secondly, I WISH Begala or Carville will bring up this quote the next time Tucker or Novak tries to paint Edwards as too inexperienced to be VP:

"My only problem with you, governor, is that you have only had four, going into your fifth year of governorship in a constitutionally weak governorship. And frankly I really believe that you need more experience before you become President of the United States. That's why I'm thinking of you as a vice presidential candidate."
-- Orrin Hatch (Utah - R)
GOP Primary Debate: December 7, 1999


Put THAT in your pipe and smoke it, Tucker, you asshat.

[redwitch]

14. I dunno.

Paul Begala makes great points nearly always but all I can focus on is Tucker's irritating and rude behavior- especially these days when he has nothing to say in defense of the admin but repeats key words or talking points over and over again. Like today it's Halliburton. Now he's saying that John Edwards whines about his childhood. Tucker ought to be ashamed. God, I can't stand him, I may have to give up watching this show.

[LittleApple81]

15. Perhaps because this is the first week I have watched I notice

that Begala is MUCH MORE EFFECTIVE at driving his point across.

[Marnieworld]

16. C'Mon Redwitch! One more Post!

Roll over to 1000+

[redwitch]

24. Just for you Marnieworld. Here goes. My 1000th post:

TUCKER CARLSON IS A RETARDED SMARMY BOW TIED LYING REPUBLICAN ASSHOLE WHO 'DEBATES' LIKE A THIRD GRADER. AND PAUL BEGALA WIPES UP THE FLOOR WITH HIM DAILY. There. I feel better now, thanks.

[Wind Dancer]

27. LOL!

[mark11727]

34. Congrats on your 1000th post, redwitch!

Nice rant, too.

[redwitch]

35. Nobody like Tucker for rant inspiration!

Thanks for the congrats.

[Auntie Bush]

31. Congratulations Redwitch! 1000 posts!

[redwitch]

36. thanks

I remember when I posted for the first time. seems like yesterday
my son turned me on to DU. God, I was dying for someone to talk to and there you all were!

[drmom]

17. Barbara Comstock was saying that there was no bump in the polls...

...after Edwards was added to the ticket, unlike the 12 point bump W received after adding Dick back in 2000.

She must be looking at different polls...

[bat17]

33. A little background on Barbara Comstock

Comstock was the Chief Spokesperson for the DoJ and the AG before she resigned in September of last year. She was my "favorite" of the Republican "elves" who plagued the Gore campaign (yes, even more evil than fellow elf Ann Coulter).

Babs & Republican dirty tricks.

38. Hi bat17!!

19. charles pierce on carlson's use of "jacuzzi" cases to smear edwards

"In 1994, an eight-year old girl named Valerie Lakey was playing in a wading pool. She got caught in a defective drain. Her intestines were ripped from her body by the suction. She is now 17. She will have to be fed through a tube, 12 hours a day, for the rest of her life. In 1997, John Edwards won her family a $25 million judgment, of which he took a portion. The judgment helped jump-start his political career.

On the first day of last year, as part of his opening comments on Crossfire, this is how the incident was described by Tucker Carlson, whom public and private broadcasting networks tumble all over themselves to hire: "Four years ago, he (Edwards) was a personal-injury lawyer specializing in Jacuzzi cases."

Jacuzzi cases.

An eight-year old who got disemboweled.

Jacuzzi cases.

A child who'll have to be fed through a tube for as long as she lives.

Jacuzzi cases.

Now, I know it's a terrible thing when Whoopi Goldberg makes salacious fun of C-Plus Augustus's last name. I know that society may simply collapse. But here is a professional communicator at the top of his profession who, because he couldn't come up with anything else to say at the moment, smugly dispatches the tragedy of a child whose guts were ripped out. (Later in the same show, he told co-host James Carville to "Lighten up," about his comments.) It was an interesting evening -- not only should Tucker Carlson have lost every job in the professional media that he has, and not only did he lose forever any right to criticize anyone for intemperate speech, he at that moment should have been shunned by decent people for the rest of his sorry life.

Jacuzzi cases.

Christ."

20. How does the Laci Peterson law protect pregnant women from violence?

What is that crap? For repugs if the woman dies there ain't no problem as long as the fetus is alive?
I feel horrible that in Laci's case both her and the baby she was carrying were dead. BUT IF THEY PROTECT THE WOMAN the baby will be OK.
What I understand is that IF A WOMAN WANTS TO HAVE THE FETUS SHE IS CARRYING THEN the person causing harm to that fetus should be prosecuted. BUT IT IS HER RIGHT to decide, it is her body, it is her fetus.

This is because of the Bush* ad right at the end of the program.

[maveric]

21. FUCK TUCKER!!! Bringing up the Kerry / Edwards gay implication.

Showing pics of the two dems embracing while Joe Coker's "You are so beautiful" is playing.
This is all they have?

[LittleApple81]

22. Yeap... That is worse than Bush saying "I had darn good intelligence..

that led us to have over 1000 coalition troops dead and thousands of innocent Iraqis killed.
But it is getting OOOOOOOLDDDDD.

[Stephanie]

26. Aren't you glad he'll have his own show on Fair & Balanced PBS?

Right after Bill Moyers NOW. Ads are already appearing.

[maggrwaggr]

25. posts like this are fucking annoying and a waste of everyone's time

now to use that "ignore the thread" button

[Ducks In A Row]

30. you should be hit ignore before posting.

it would have made a bigger impact.

[LittleApple81]

39. Thanks. I do think it is important to try to keep up with what America

is seeing in terms of politics.
I do use the "hide thread" on posts I deem I don't want to participate. That is what that little X is for.
