Brit Hume on Fox: All star panel next to analyze Teresa's speech.

[The Backlash Cometh]

He called her speech "unusual" by anybody's standards. I didn't find it unusual at all, but then, I'm not intimidated by intelligent women.

[LiberalTechie1337]

1. Why on earth are you watching Fox

Do you expect them to say ANYTHING positive about the Democrats

[apnu]

2. somebody has to do the dirty work

Go Backlash Go!

[blueblitzkrieg]

3. he said she's "odd" n/t

[LittleApple81]

4. They are going bananas! SHE IS ABSOLUTELY GREAT! and

she won't take any SHIT!!!!

[theivoryqueen]

11. okay - I am odd and I will allow that she is indeed odd.

but who isn't???

[blueblitzkrieg]

21. If anyone is odd, I think it's Laura.

She's like a robot, a wax statue. She creeps me out. Teresa is a /human being/. So of course the pundits hate her.

5. muahahahh

LIASSON: "It was a dissapointing showing for the Democrats after monday, with no one able to recapture Clinton's magic."

FRED BARNES: "I thought it was funny how the Democrat Party hid all their most embarassing speakers on a tuesday, when nobody is watching: Kennedy, Dean, and Theresa Heinz-Kerry. What are the Democrats afraid of? Is this the party they hid on Monday?"

KONDRACKE: "I think Fred is right, in that its hard to claim that you're not going to Bush-Bash when you have bombthrowers like Ted Kennedy on the stage."

KRISTOL: "I was really impressed with last night, I thought the Democrats hit a high note that sadly, won't be reached again. Tonight was a real dissapointment."

FRED BARNES: "Americans aren't ready for a billionaire loose cannon like Heinz Kerry."

HUME: "She sounds a little French, doesn't she. Up next: Shove It. Again. Fair and Balanced, this is Fox News."

[TwoHandedLayup]

7. I hate Fox, but

watch them to see how the spin is going. They immediately compared Teresa and Hillary trying to get people to back away from Kerry because of getting "two Clinton's for one".

What a bunch of six Fucks.

[NightOwwl]

6. Stacked up against Laura Bush

she's still going to be a very hard sell.

The gray-haired guy with glasses said that gem.

[thebigidea]

8. did he cross and uncross his arms a million times?

I love watching his hysterical body language. What a nut!

[buycitgo]

10. so.......is she going to unleash her WALLET now?

she said they would when the pugs started getting too unfair to her husband

well, THK, how do you like them thugs NOW?

what are you WAITING for????

lots of 527 groups, and symbolmen and american strangers and big ideas and eric blumriches and mopauls and wizards of whimsy who could make GREAT use of some of that money that you'll never ever spend

what better use could you start MAKING of it, huh?

open the cheney UP

before it's too cheneying late!

[thebigidea]

14. ATTENTION CHRIS HEINZ. SEND MONEY. WILL WORK CHEEP.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

9. oh great - the "FAUX all stars"

the sniveling centrist high school nerd morton kondracke and fred barnes with his perpetually crossed arms and smarmy grin

yeah, these career pundits are so in touch with the average joe

[West Coast Democrat]

12. God! Turn the Channel!

Ron Reagan is on MSNBC right now.

13. "Stacked up against Laura Bush

she's still going to be a very hard sell." "She created the impression she's still madly in love with her former husband."

Gray-haired guy with glasses.

"I think she got this slot because she demanded it. She seems to get what she wants."

Bill Kristol

"Bordering on the bizarre, extremely self-indulgent, no reason for her to be there"

Gray-haired guy with tortiose-shell glasses.


Had enough yet?

17. Sorry about the duplicates

I kept getting errors and thought my posts weren't going through.

[DemMother]

18. "Hard sell" is the talking point

Joe Scarborough was screeching about it on Hardball. Andrew Mitchell looked like she was disgusted with him.

He kept talking about stay-at=home moms in the Midwest not getting her. Well, I grew up in the Midwest and have a lot of relatives who still live there...and I can tell you the person the don't get is Laura Bush. What woman--unless she's part of an evangelical, husband-is-the-boss family--behaves the way LB does? She is nothing like my sister-in-law or anyone else in my family...or in their friends families and they're in the heart of one of the reddest states in the country!! They may not have the same accent as Teresa Heinz, but they have her spirit!

[Jawja]

16. I'm afraid

her speech is a little over their heads. Too much for them to handle, I'm sure.

[maggrwaggr]

19. their just doing their jobs

and their job is to bash her.

They're looking like idiots doing so.

But they don't care. They're following orders.

[riverwalker]

20. I thought they looked scared and stunned

Teresa was brilliant. They were waiting, ready to pounce on anything the LEAST bit shrill that would shrivel the testicles of the average insecure RW'r. They didn't get anything they were drooling in anticipation for. Instead they got a magnificent, inspiring speech, full of patriotism, pride and hope. They were lost right from the beginning with the five languages. The quote from Lincoln sealed it for them. They had nothing. So it explains the bizarre and feeble attempts to "spin". Obama was the right hook, Teresa was the left, they are down for the count. A rough night for repugs, all in all.
