[oviedodem]

1. I only wish that were Mitt or Pawlenty or maybe even a McCain person

[montanto]

172. You can say that again!!

[oviedodem]

2. I only wish that were Mitt or Pawlenty or maybe even a McCain person

[montanto]

173. Thanks!!

[GrizzlyMan]

3. OMG

They know they're beaten, and yet it proves the networks desire to keep it a horse race for ratings.

[GrizzlyMan]

11. Noonan: "It's over"

Here's to that Peg :toast:

[krkaufman]

85. Right. Want I'm wondering is how these candid comments compare ...

... to what these two expert commentators said on-air.

[rebel with a cause]

185. I guess I am skeptical,

but I don't trust them (repugs) and anything they do. I remember when Jesse Jackson had the open mic problem and it got a lot of press. I just wonder if this was done for that same purpose, with these people and those mentioned getting a lot of interviews. Like I said, I am very skeptical and suspicious of anything done by these people.

[NightOwwl]

131. It also proves

just what I suspected.

Behind closed doors Republicans are pissed as hell with McInsane and his Trophy VP.

[still_one]

4. That is great /nt

[mod mom]

5. "Political bullshit" and "gimmicky" and "not going to work"

[jgraz]

28. Ahahhahhahahahah!!!!!!

That. Is. Awesome.

[321Outright]

165. How about this for gimmicky- tonights speech is a political "mad lib" ?

1st post! I've been a lurker for a while since discovering the site when one of my blog posts was posted/linked to by someone here a month or 2 ago. I'm so glad they did link that- it lead me here, & i LOVE THIS SITE! With all the developments in the past 2 weeks, its about time i joined in the fun! ---


A little before 7pm est., i heard Tim Pawlenty say to David Gregory on MSNBC in response to a question about Palin's speech tonight :

" I think they've written a great speech for her "

Wait wait wait.... so she didn't even write it??
A. Mitchell said later that the speech was written prior to the selection for any potential VP choice and had to be re-written because it was too "masculine"..
So tonights speech is literally just a political "mad lib" ??
What a joke!
How long can they keep Palin in a bubble? She's going to have to answer questions and speak for herself eventually!

[Elidor]

169. Welcome!

You got here just in time for all the fun!

:bounce:

[mod mom]

189. Welcome to DU, 321Outright!

they'll keep her in a bubble by repeating the mantra "the media is sexist" (of course not FAUX News, though) and unfair.

Jon Stewart did a funny piece of this showing the utter hypocrisy of the claim:

Sarah Palin Gender Card (05:43)
We should not even be talking about Sarah Palin because it's sexist.

http://www.thedailyshow.com/


Oops...here's a warning-DU is addicting.

[davidwparker]

196. Welcome to DU.

[Turn CO Blue]

6. Whoopsie-daisies! They're not on message when the camera is off.

This proves once and for all that the talking heads have their talking points handed to them and that they just spew this shit, even if they have the opposite view.

[krkaufman]

89. Someone REALLY needs to put together a video contrasting their on-air and off-air comments ...

... as a means to demonstrate that the Palin puffery is all spin.

[npincus]

7. LOL- that needs a transcript!!

[leftynyc]

8. Summary please

Can't watch video at this computer. Thanks.

[Critters2]

38. Mike Murphy and Peggy Noonan chatting after a talking head interview,

but before the mics are off....Murphy starts out by saying he thinks choosing Palin "won't work". Then discussion of it being insulting to Kay Bailey Hutchinson, and that Palin is not the most qualified woman. Then Noonan says "they were going for this, excuse me, bullshit narrative stuff"...and that when Republicans do that they always get it wrong. Best quote: It's over.

A beautiful thing to behold.

[leftynyc]

65. Thank you bunches

Can't wait to get home and send the video to everyone in my address book.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

84. So now we know for a fact that the hosts know for a fact the shills are lying

So what's the point in the whole miserable political chat format

[Critters2]

108. Here's a link to the transcript:

http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2008/9/3/161925/2509/510/579198

[Danascot]

128. Transcript

Chuck Todd: Mike Murphy, lots of free advice, we'll see if Steve Schmidt and the boys were watching. We'll find out on your blackberry. Tonight voters will get their chance to hear from Sarah Palin and she will get the chance to show voters she's the right woman for the job Up next, one man who's already convinced and he'll us why Gov. Jon Huntsman.

(cut away)

Peggy Noonan: Yeah.

Mike Murphy: You know, because I come out of the blue swing state governor world: Engler, Whitman, Tommy Thompson, Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush. I mean, these guys -- this is how you win a Texas race, just run it up. And it's not gonna work. And --

PN: It's over.

MM: Still McCain can give a version of the Lieberman speech to do himself some good.

CT: I also think the Palin pick is insulting to Kay Bailey Hutchinson, too.

PN: Saw Kay this morning.

CT: Yeah, she's never looked comfortable about this --

MM: They're all bummed out.

CT: Yeah, I mean is she really the most qualified woman they could have turned to?

PN: The most qualified? No! I think they went for this -- excuse me-- political bullshit about narratives --

CT: Yeah they went to a narrative.

MM: I totally agree.

PN: Every time the Republicans do that, because that's not where they live and it's not what they're good at, they blow it.

MM: You know what's really the worst thing about it? The greatness of McCain is no cynicism, and this is cynical.

CT: This is cynical, and as you called it, gimmicky.

MM: Yeah.

[VoodooGuru]

174. Thanks for the transcript

K & R

[zulchzulu]

9. That. Is. AWESOME!

Noonan with her guttermouth saying they are going for the "bullshit narrative"...

:rofl:

[samuraiguppy]

164. ME-OW!!! cat fight!! n/t

[WeDidIt]

10. Now we know the TRUE Feelings of the GOP Talking Heads

when they think the mic is off.

[WeDidIt]

IT'S OVER! -- Mike Murphy expressing his TRUE FEELINGS about Palin

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[trueblue2007]

88. I'm sending this to everyone I know

[Demi_Babe]

12. lol

[Critters2]

13. Oh, that's beautiful coming from Noonan.

Even they see this. WTF was McCain thinking?

Well, it all looks good from where I'm sitting!

[krkaufman]

106. My only hope is that it was posted in time for The Daily Show and Colbert to make use of it. nt

[Quixote1818]

14. WOOOOOOWWWW!!! That was AWESOME!!! nt

[Balderdash]

15. Wow!

It's gonna be hard to get that Genie back in the bottle! Woohoo!

[Bill219]

16. rate it up on youtube

lets get it into the mainstream so people can know the truth

[ZombieHorde]

136. It's not on youtube. At least, I did not see on there.

[Cha]

17. "Bullshit" "Gimmick" brought to you by two repuke

operatives with open mic day. Do ya think mccain's gonna go ballistic on mike murphy and peggy noonan?!! :bounce:

[tomnjoy]

Bwahahaha! Love it!

:spray: :rofl:

[Median Democrat]

18. Wow! What Goes On In The Mind Of A GOP Pundit!

I don't know whether it is good or bad that they know that what they are selling on Palin is bullshit.

[Bigleaf]

19. Fucking Love it! K&R

[NJGeek]

20. Did Noonan say "It's Over" at 0:37?

Murphy: "It's not gonna work"
Noonan: "It's over."

Love it.
They know it.

Also, I'd like to say that Mike Murphy has been very even handed, back to the DNC convention to now. I like him. I think he truly was a support of the year 2000 McCain, a McCain that is a far cry from what we see today.

[mod mom]

33. sounded like it to me!

Funny how frank they are with Chuck Todd

[jhain]

42. she most certainly DID

Just backed it up & listened to it a number of times myself!

[Fla Dem]

21. Noonan..."is she the most qualified....no...but they went for the narrative

and everytime the Republicans do that they lose." Hahahahaha

[Bill219]

22. Rate it up on youtube

[npincus]

23. did Noonan say, "It's over!"?

and Chuck Todd says incredulously, "Is she REALLY the ost qualified woman they have?"

[GrizzlyMan]

36. Yes, Noon said straight up "it's over"

[Danieljay]

24. THAT is effing priceless. Push this! n/t

[Triana]

25. "they went for this political bullshit about narratives"

Bwahahaaaaaa!

Sarah Palin is John McSame's political guillotine. (I hope) OFF with its head! (the GOP)

[AZBlue]

26. OMG! That's great!!!

[BeyondGeography]

27. I had a feeling that's what they really thought...LOL

[lumpy]

68. That's what they think. Tough being a talking head,

woooo hoooo

[Zech Marquis The 2nd]

29. oh shit !!!

:rofl: instant campaign ad material :rofl: priceless!!!

[SeaLyons]

30. That just made my day....

incredible!!

[NotThisTime]

31. It's amazing what can be heard when they think the mic is off ROFLMAO.... best stuff out there...

[Beaverhausen]

32. Holy shit!

was that all broadcast over the air?

[YvonneCa]

34. Wow. n/t

[progressivebydesign]

35. GOP prays for rain? I pray for open mics!! Is this being saved on hard drives???

Please reccommend this thread everyone! It's a keeper!!!

They are saying exactly what we KNOW they are thinking -- but it begs the question, WHY are they lying their asses off on TV then? Why are these people ALL saying the same things WE are, yet peddling bullshit to masses?

Why do they hate America????

Oh.. be sure to send that video FAR AND WIDE! Let everyone see how utterly devoid of ethics these people are, that they're spewing stuff on camera for profit. And the "cynical" comment at the end was priceless!!

[Bill219]

41. I grabbed a copy with downloadhelper

I am going to upload it on as many file sharing sites I can

I also forwarded a copy of it to The Daily Show and Stephen Colbert

[krkaufman]

107. Ah, your action is much better than my hope (re: TDS/Colbert)

well done.

[northernlights]

125. well done Bill219

I was trying to listen to it when it got pulled off of utube!!!! good to know they were too late with their scrubbing! :toast:

[progressivebydesign]

37. Uh oh.. I would PAY to see the confrontation between those people and McNasty!!!

Oh.. I wonder if they've gotten the call already from McNasty or Schmidt yet?

[krkaufman]

I'd love to hear a candid report on their treatment by fellow Republicans from here out

I don't imagine they're going to be favorites among the nutters.

[ErinBerin84]

39. damn it! I'm at work and can't listen!

But it sounds very entertaining, from the comments. Mike Murphy is a shill, but he knew well enough to stay away from that sinking ship of a campaign.

[NJGeek]

40. DIGG THIS FOLKS

Please DIGG IT UP

:thumbsup:

[Awsi Dooger]

44. Awesome!

I'm going to post that link on some sports sites that I frequent, so the right wingers will spin into freefall

[crispini]

45. Bwahahahhahaha!

:kick:

[jannyk]

47. I hate multiple threads on the same topic - but bring it on with this one!!! k&r

[soleft]

48. How can I find the you tube link?

69. Thanks - Oh, how I wish Countdown was on!

[tomg]

49. Our Lady of the Dolphins

calls it bullshit. Wow. How do they ever spin again with a straight face?

[bigdarryl]

50. Thats my girl PEGGY!!!!! I love it I would love to have a beer with this old girl

she seems like a lot of fun

[Born_A_Truman]

51. Classic! I miss my old Cband Ku dish.

Who did Peggy say she saw this morning? "She's never looked comfortable." Who?

[cynthia]

155. Kay Bailey Hutchinson

She was referring to Kay Bailey Hutchinson

[XOKCowboy]

52. A good progressive Sound Engineer there....

A Republican soundie would have hit the mute button or turned off the audio recorder. Also someone had to leak the clip to the media. See what happens when Republicans don't screen their audiences and crew! :rofl:

[krkaufman]

111. I was pondering whether this is just ONE example of what is constantly being said backstage ...

... and some sound engineer finally became fed-up with the pundits saying one thing on-air and another off, and decided it was time for some honesty.

[kirby]

53. Actually, some of the dialog is Chuck Todd...

When I listen to that Chuck Todd is asking some of the questions you attribute to Murphy. I'm pretty sure 'Is she the most qualified woman they could have picked' was Chuck Todds voice.

Scary that these guys know its bullshit, but still lie and spin on air.

[snowbear]

61. That's what I was just thinking.. Isn't that Chuck's voice that says "gimmicky"?

.

Sure sounds like him!

.
.

[Beaverhausen]

70. and I think he is the one who mentions Kay Bailey Hutchinson

[writes3000]

74. Yep, it's Chuck Todd. I kind of feel badly for him. He'll take some heat for this. nt

[Matariki]

54. SOMEBODY SAVE THAT!!

before it's gone!

[ronnykmarshall]

55. Oh dear ,,,,,

[Beaverhausen]

56. we need a transcription PLEASE!!!

[NatBurner]

57. oh, this is GREAT!!

REC'D!

thank you god, for sweet baby jesus, and for hot mikes!

[PCIntern]

58. SIMPLY THE BEST!!!

[npincus]

59. YouTube link has better audio:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrG8w4bb3kg

:rofl:

[nc4bo]

62. Woohoo - screwn!! nt

[Barack_America]

63. This is like auditory sunshine.

Words cannot describe how spectacular this is. This is going on my i-pod.

[MagickMuffin]

64. Country FIRST my ass: This is living proof that the rethuglicons are PARTY firsters

They will spout the "narrative" for the party, even though they know it isn't in the BEST interest of the country.

IT'S OVER, GAME OVER

[kennetha]

66. This is definitely priceless!

But it does show one thing. McCain has decided that he can't win as any kind of "establishment" Republican. So he made a choice that ticks them off -- just not as much as the choice of Leiberman would. And Noonan is right, he has gone for the "bullshit narrative" which is "not where Republicans live." But McCain apparently has decided that he has no chance of winning by running a recognizably standard Republican campaign.

What's that leave him with? A very, very desperate gamble that he can move people who don't typically vote Republican to consider him again. He really is rolling the dice. I'd say that we're the house in this race -- the odds are heavily stacked in our favor -- and McCain's coming into our house, putting all of his chips on the pass line, for a high risk double or nothing gamble.

But what else can he do, really? Run on Bush's record?

[JBoy]

67. That totally made my day! The smart RW actually know they're fucked.

[eleny]

71. You really finds the goods, mod mom -- K&R

This made my week.

[WeDidIt]

72. ROUGH TRANSCRIPT!!!

Murphy: Um, you know, because, I come out of the blue swing state governor world. Engler, Whitman, Tommy Thompson, Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush, I mean, and these guys, this is all how you want to ??? this race, just run it up, and it's not gonna work.

Noonan: It's Over.

Murphy: Still, McCain can give a version of the Lieberman speech and do himself some good.

Todd: Its insulting to Kay Baily Hutchinson ??

Noonan:?

Todd: She's(?) never looked comfortable up there..

Murphy: all bummed out.

Todd: I mean, is she really the most qualified woman they can obtain?

Noonan: The most qualified? No. I think they went for this, excuse me, political bullshit about narratives...

Todd: Yeah, but what's the narrative

Murphy: I totally agree.

Noonan: Every time Republicans do that, because that's not where they live and it's not what they're good at, they blow it.

Murphy: You know what's the worst thing about it, the greatest of McCain is no cynicism, and..

???: This is cynical.

??: And as you called it, gimmicky.

[Barack_America]

82. "This is cynical. And as you called it, gimmicky."

That's Chuck Todd.

Thanks for the transcript! I'll give it another listen and see if I can't figure out some more of those "?".

:hi:

[Barack_America]

83. delete. dupe.

Work laptop...grr...

:argh:

[ErinBerin84]

86. thanks!

lol at Chuck Todd's "Yeah, but what's the narrative?"

[BigAnth]

105. This is probably the first and last time that you'll ever hear these people telling the truth.

[DeschutesRiver]

113. thanks for the transcript

well, I feel marginally better that they don't believe half the stuff they are telling us to believe, and be even handed and unquestioning about. I had watched that interview too, but turned it off near the end.

[saltpoint]

188. Well, that DOES it. Cindy's taking both Mike and Peggy off this year's

holiday greeting card address list.

[msallied]

73. I am alerting as many people as I can to this hilarity.

Seriously, between this and the Joe Klein piece, this keeps getting better and better! LMAO

[krkaufman]

75. omg that's awesome. Noonan: "I think they went for this political bullshit about narrative"

Somebody needs to write-up a transcript.

But I doubt we'll see this hitting the news shows like the Fox-released clip of Jesse Jackson.

[JBoris]

76. Ho-lee shit!!! K&R!

[KathieG]

77. LMAO...love it!!!

[AzDar]

78. Fascinating. So they aren't really as stupid as they pretend to be!

}(

[NatBurner]

97. right?

[krkaufman]

112. Right. Which makes them decidedly more despicable. nt

[nolabels]

194. Isn't it funny when they let their hair down

The even more amazing thing to me is that they kind of still talk in another type double-speak when telling about their own real feelings.

I wonder if the linguists are going to start categorizing 'repubspeak' as another dialect

[krkaufman]

200. A dialect of doublespeak. nt

[Raineyb]

79. K&R!

Kicked to get it to the front page.

:kick:

Regards

[FrenchieCat]

80. Just going to make the GOP strike back at NBC/MSNBC that much more.....

I don't know if that bodes well for us in a long run......

They seem to be able to turn any media truth into a liability for that media. :(

[musicblind]

81. What are the people at Free Republic saying about this? n/t

[trueblue2007]

94. They are saying: "whoops....we are DEAD in a BIG way"

[Critters2]

95. Mostly, they're eating their own.

But there was this little gem:

To: Alter Kaker

Obviously, the Democrats at MSNBC set Peggy up!

Now THAT is a news story.

[krkaufman]

115. Except Noonan and Murphy aren't the "base"; they're the elites who exploit the base. nt

[Bread and Circus]

99. These assholes can't come on TV and now lie to us and tell us how great she is...

oh wait...they will anyway.

[depakid]

120. Impressive, isn't it?

When you travel overseas, the difference is really glaring.

Other countries aren't chock full of liars and propagandists. Not in their papers, or their broadcast media, or in their societies at large. In some respects, it's the single most defining thing about Anerica over the past 15 years. The sheer breadth and volume of dishonesty.

[Snarkoleptic]

101. I can't stand Peggy Noonan.

She has bizarre 'I'm sexy' affectations with her head lolling about like a pumpkin on a spring.
Today, I can tolerate watching her make an ass of herself...I love this video!!

[onefreespiritedchick]

102. Hehehe!

I love it! The truth speaks :)

[symbolman]

103. There was one reporter, a young one talking with Soledad

and my wife were laughing like hyenas because the poor fuck could NOT KEEP A STRAIGHT FACE!!

He was trying to GLINT with the eyes, screw up his mouth, dip his head, like when we were kids and got the Giggles at the dinner table and wanted to avoid a beating but COULD NOT STOP.. :)

He was nearly spastic, and he could barely talk, you could tell he was thinking, "What the FUCK am I saying?!"

SHE was almost laughing by the time they were done.. it was amazing.. they just can't throw this pig high enough to make it LOOK like it can FLY!

And THIS explains why KO got sent to the kiddie table, doing weather, Far from the party.. they KNEW he wouldn't be able to keep the "narrative" going.. he'd have thrown his papers in the air and said, "Chris! I just can't maintain the Bullshit! She is a FRAUD! Nope, can't do it.. jesus, I..I.. I gotta GO.."

[Bread and Circus]

104. P.S. I think Chuck Todd is in their calling it cynical and gimmicky...

let's see how he tries to spin this...

The depths of inanity they will go to.

Chuck Todd ending on air portion: ... Utah Governor John Huntman.

Mike Murphy: You know, because I come out of a blue swing state governor war. Angler, Whitman, Thompson, Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush... I mean, these guys, I mean this is all about how you want to text(?) this race. I mean you just run it up and... It’s just not going to work! But...

Peggy Noonan: It’s over!

MM: Still, McCain can give a version of the Lieberman speech and do himself some good.

CT: Don’t you think the McCain pick is insulting to Kay Bailey Hutchison who...

PN: I saw Kay this morning...

CT: She’s never looked comfortable about...

MM: They’re ALL bummed out...

CT: I mean, is she really the most qualified woman they could have turned to?

PN: The most qualified? No. I think they went for this, excuse me, political bullshit about narratives..

CT: (interrupts)Yeah they went with narrative...

MM: (also interrupts) I totally agree.

PN: ...and the picture. Every time the Republicans do that, because that’s not where they live and not what they’re good at, and they blow it.

MM: You know what’s really the worst thing about it? The greatness of McCain is no cynicism...

CT: It’s ineffectual (?) and, as you called it, “gimmicky.”

MM: Yeah.

CT: Ok thanks guys...

MM: See you later.

118. welcome to DU, Omerrrta, SurferBoy, and Anticon!

:hi:

[4lbs]

124. Thank You.

I'm an Independent, actually "Decline to State" in California (since there is an Independent party here). That makes me unaffiliated with any party and not subject to the brainwashings of anyone. I now support Obama/Biden and just laughed like crazy when Palin was announced as the GOP veep pick.

[rxdem84]

119. The base is ENERGIZED!! Bull....

[SurfingAtWork]

121. Wow. I read her article today, her masterful use of satire went completley over my head

Now that I see how she really feels, I get it.

[hasssan1]

123. Base is Energized and ZAPPED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ncteechur]

126. DAY-UM

Ooohhh shit.

[CherokeeDem]

127. OH MY....

do you think they will get a scolding from Rove for talking out of school? If those two pundits are throwing in the towel...wow.

[BlooInBloo]

129. This should be a lesson to the DU Handwringing Brigade....

Even THEY don't believe anything good about her.

[Barack_America]

133. Exactly. It is what it is, don't believe the spin.

Everybody knows Palin was a horrible choice.

[joshcryer]

192. It does show how well the MSM is at manipulating mass consciousness, though, doesn't it?

It's fucking scary shit, to think that so many intelligent people here on DU couldn't see the horse race shit for what it was.

[TheCoxwain]

135. Good. nt

[stolivodka]

137. lies for a living

Amazing how she lies like that, for hours on end, with a straight face. Just sitting there and mindlessly repeating their talking points has really become a sort of alternative lifestyle for these people. I guess it beats working for a living, though! :evilgrin:

[Gregorian]

138. Accidental news. No talking points. Just the truth.

Too bad it on.y happens by accident.

[MzShellG]

139. Whoa...awesome...Keith Olbermann...

Had a poll that showed a high number of people who felt Palin would hurt the repuke's chances. Something like 81% approx. Factor that in along with Obama's lead in the gallop and other polls....The repukes spin is starting to unravel.

143. hahahhahaha

kick!

[jennied]

144. ROFL - "They're all bummed out."

[TexasObserver]

145. OMG! OMFG!! Classic! Peggy Noonan gave McCain-Palin the Last Rites.

[iamthebandfanman]

146. classic

im glad they realise just in how much trouble the campaign really is.

[Liberalatus]

147. OMG!

Thank you, God. I knew you hadn't given up on Divine Intervention. Just needed the right people to justify using it for.
lololol!
:rofl:

[gemlake]

148. I had to listen 3 times

It was so beautiful.

[Willo]

149. K&R and Dugg

How will the spin on the truth be spun?

Will they stand behind their words now?

[Rectangle]

150. Does anyone know how the McCain bunch can spin this!!!

Un-spinnable in my view!!! HA! Ha!

[wundermaus]

151. Just when the Fascists think it's safe to speak the truth...

Someone leaves a mic on... Damn!

[ChiciB1]

152. Just Got Home & Saw This And Am Wondering IF Mike & Peggy Know

about this flub? If they do, will they try to "fluff" their way through it, or better yet do what Repukes USUALLY do.... say it was taken "out of context" or something?? HOW they can do it will be something to so, even more revealing might be how the die-hard Repukes try to spin it!!!

[HughMoran]

153. PN: "It's over."

Let's hope...

[L0oniX]

154. Well at least someone is speaking honestly about the truth.

:evilgrin:

[kath]

156. Here's a question - what kind of Repug ass-kissing were Peggy and Mike doing when they KNEW the mic

was on? And what kinds of glowing things about Palin have they been spouting? Would be interesting to contrast the two.

[RedLetterRev]

157. That's gonna leave a mark!

:rofl:

Even the usual YouTube trolls are having trouble explaining that one away.

Yeah, the Dems put her up to it, yeahright... that's rich! I'm glad someone else can stand freeperville. That cesspool makes my eyes bleed.

K&R'd, of course!

[Major Hogwash]

158. Peggy is right - it is over!!!

There is no way in hell that Palin is going to be able to save the sinking SS McCain.

[Zambero]

159. Big Time Buyer's Remorse

All the accolades about Palin are pure spin, whistling past the graveyard. The opinions expressed by these conservatives are only the tip of the iceberg.

[helderheid]

160. Watch it on YouTube and RATE IT UP AND SHARE!!! TRANSCRIPT:

rate it up here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dq4sOM4tpno

Chuck Todd: Mike Murphy, lots of free advice, we'll see if Steve Schmidt and the boys were watching. We'll find out on your blackberry. Tonight voters will get their chance to hear from Sarah Palin and she will get the chance to show voters she's the right woman for the job Up next, one man who's already convinced and he'll us why Gov. Jon Huntsman.

(cut away)

Peggy Noonan: Yeah.

Mike Murphy: You know, because I come out of the blue swing state governor world: Engler, Whitman, Tommy Thompson, Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush. I mean, these guys -- this is how you win a Texas race, just run it up. And it's not gonna work. And --

PN: It's over.

MM: Still McCain can give a version of the Lieberman speech to do himself some good.

CT: I also think the Palin pick is insulting to Kay Bailey Hutchinson, too.

PN: Saw Kay this morning.

CT: Yeah, she's never looked comfortable about this --

MM: They're all bummed out.

CT: Yeah, I mean is she really the most qualified woman they could have turned to?

PN: The most qualified? No! I think they went for this -- excuse me-- political bullshit about narratives --

CT: Yeah they went to a narrative.

MM: I totally agree.

PN: Every time the Republicans do that, because that's not where they live and it's not what they're good at, they blow it.

MM: You know what's really the worst thing about it? The greatness of McCain is no cynicism, and this is cynical.

CT: This is cynical, and as you called it, gimmicky.

MM: Yeah.

[faulknercindy]

161. Spread it eveywhere you can

all need to hear it. hahahahahahahah

[helderheid]

162. Welcome to DU!

[helderheid]

163. Kick kick!!

[midnight armadillo]

166. The actions of a true American hero!

The anonymous sound engineer who lifted the veil on the Republican noise machine is a true patriot. Bravo, whoever you are, bravo!

[knixphan]

170. very true.

[AwakeAtLast]

167. That totally MADE MY DAY!!!

:bounce:

This shows those lying Repukes for what they are: total lying losers! They're all smiley and happy when the cameras are on, but turn your back on them (America) you see the gloves come off and the knives come out. What a great clip!

:kick:

[stark6935]

168. How did this get released?

[XOKCowboy]

175. A very progressive and stealthy sound engineer is my guess...

Even if the mics are muted to the audience the sound guy still can hear what's coming over them. Someone had to leak them that's for sure. I wonder if there will be recrimination.

[stark6935]

177. Was it you? lol

[XOKCowboy]

179. I only wish. LOL

The thing about it is that it almost had to be a feed from the board. I suppose that someone with a radio scanner might have been able scan and find the frequencies of their mics and record all of them separately. Not up on that technology but seems unlikely.

[RoccoR5955]

171. K & R! n/t

[Dinger]

176. Oh My. Stupid Question . . .

Has this been addressed at all in the M$M? WOW!:rofl:

[stark6935]

178. I saw Paul Bagalla? on CNN mention it earlier.

[ClusterFreak]

180. They were totally set up.

And I love it.

:evilgrin:

[helderheid]

181. kick

[lonestarnot]

182. Heh! "It's over."

[lisainmilo]

183. Too Funny!

:rofl:

[shellgame26]

184. how much you wanna bet

they knew it was on. They're trying to send a message.

[Douglas Carpenter]

186. KICK AND RECOMMENDED ---

[johnlal]

190. Shouldn't THAT have been the story?

That story was far more interesting than the circle-jerk they were doing before the break.

[owlbear33]

191. It doesn't matter

Just look at how Bush called a member of the press an asshole, or how Cheney told someone to go fuck yourself. All the repugs will do a little back patting and say that it really isn't important. And the media will forget the whole thing tomorrow. It won't rattle the base.

[KamaAina]

193. The funny thing is, I just got through reading a Peggy Nooner column heaping praise upon Palin

in the NY Post. (I'm at Repuke Stepdad's in NJ, where the Murdoch rag is brought in daily. :puke: )

So while she's dutifully parroting all the GOP talking points about how she's a populist outsider breath of fresh air in public, as soon as the mikes are (supposedly) off, the snark comes out.

I have known repukes to be many things, but until now, hypocrites weren't one of them. :sarcasm:

[Blackhatjack]

195. Nothing like watching your credibility melt away right before your eyes!

I guess she has some 'splaining to do for those of us who know hypocrisy when we see it.

I have heard of shills referred to as much worse because they do the bidding of those who sign their paychecks. After this bit of inadvertant truthtelling, I guess there is no doubt she is a member of that club...

[bobd0]

199. I wish someone would transcribe those first few words from Noonan while Todd is still on-air

[Karl_Bonner_1982]

197. PDQ Bach: "turn the mics on....oh they're already on."

(goofy voice) Oh no, they're already on!!! Well....

That's from the Pachelbel Canon by PDQ Bach, where a woman in the studio freaks out due to Pachelbel overdose.

[Krashkopf]

198. OUCH!

Coming from Reagan's speechwriter, that's gotta hurt!!!

[truthnhonesty]

201. Another interesting link showing....

more MCsame lies and dishonesties.....
