Good old Mark Shields

[BeyondGeography]

Panned it. Said it was a "throw the bums out" speech without any policy appeal to disaffected Democrats and independents.

[gratefultobelib]

1. Yes!! I was coming on to praise him! HE told the truth!

[BeyondGeography]

7. Brooks was underwhelmed as well...called it "successful"

but also worried that it was light on policy.

19. Just as Palin's was.

All red meat, but no actual beef.

10. What network are you watching? n/t

[BrklynLiberal]

11. They were on PBS

[Basement Beat]

2. lol, I also came on here to praise him...

[MichiganVote]

3. McSame gave nothing to women in that speech

[Kixel]

14. Well he already gave us Palin...

What else can we possibly want for?


I don't know if that is sarcastic or not? It seems like she may be a gift to make him unelectable...

[LSparkle]

4. Yeah except did Shields point out that THEY'RE THE BUMS?

I am REALLY disappointed in him. He's a Democrat
so angry about the "established order" being upset
by Obama that he's willing to surrender the republic
for political purposes.

FOOL.

5. Bring back the Capital Gang!

More Mark Shields and Margaret Carlson!

[tblue37]

16. Maragret Carlson is the one who admitted that it was more "fun" to go

after Gore than Bush back in 2000, because it would have required research and explaining policy to show where Bush was wrong, and it was just easier to use the soundbites against Gore. She is part of the problem, not part of the solution--just another of the media whores that helped give us Bush.

F*** Margaret Carlson.

6. WHO??????????

[Sugarcoated]

8. what channel is he on?

[Captain Hilts]

9. The guy from Brandeis has to learn to pronounce 'Roosevelt' correctly

if he's a historian.

ER: Yeah!

[kster]

15. Or better yet

17. You've lost me. nt

[Awsi Dooger]

12. Whoops, sorry I missed this thread

I just posted a different thread based on Shields' comments.

[RobertSeattle]

13. Those Bums are John's "my friends"

[WheelWalker]

18. I always enjoy Brooks & Shields. Good thing....

that's the only station my rabbit ears pick up! PBS has done a good job covering both conventions, in my opinion.

[Captain Hilts]

20. I've stood next to both of them. They must be sitting on phonebooks. nt
