[LiberalHeart]

[Ichingcarpenter]

[AllieB]

2. That was awesome. Did you notice the mistake in the map though?

They labeled IL as IN and painted it red. Woops.

[malaise]

7. LOL

Oops! :D

[BayouBengal07]

3. Anyone just see the McCain campaign map?

They had Illinois labeled as Indiana. Oops.

[lonestarnot]

13. Darn was only listening. Missed it.

[cal04]

4. Rachel's terrific

glad she has Boxer on

[cal04]

15. everytime the president speaks the stock

market goes down

[Ichingcarpenter]

5. Barbara Boxer I love you....

Damn she makes me proud.

[malaise]

11. Did you hear her

We just funded the private sector - we can fund infrastructure. Bubye neo-liberals.

Barbara is doing great here.

[Ichingcarpenter]

17. Damn right... now talking about war crimes

[Ichingcarpenter]

19. She wants a hard look at hit so it never happens again!!!!

I wanted to hear that.

[malaise]

22. Boxer was Excellent

Things are looking so good that I'm nervous. We have an old proverb - 'chicken merry hawk deh near' and whenever things look too good, I keep hearing the old folks saying it. Please, please, please, NOT THIS TIME! That said I'm feeling even better about November 4th than I did in 2006.

reword.

[blaze]

31. Chicken merry hawk deh near

OK. Trying to not feel too stupid here.... I'm thinking that means, "The chicken is happy but the hawk is nearby so be careful" Am I close?

[Ichingcarpenter]

33. Its from an Aseop fable I think but with Pigeons instead

THE PIGEONS, terrified by the appearance of a Kite, called upon the Hawk to defend them. He at once consented. When they had admitted him into the cote, they found that he made more havoc and slew a larger number of them in one day than the Kite could pounce upon in a whole year.

Avoid a remedy that is worse than the disease.

[malaise]

37. That's the literal meaning

but the broader meaning is that you must not be so happy that you're distracted to the point of ignoring those who might destroy you :D

Rachel is eating David Frum. He just said his party which will probably go into opposition bla bla bla - WOW!

[lonestarnot]

8. Yes and Hillary is pushing jobs too!

[malaise]

14. You know the timing of the Wall Street collapse

was not bad.

[lonestarnot]

21. I like two kinds of pie!

Hot pie and cold pie! mmmmmmmmm pie!

[malaise]

32. The whole world loves

pie :D

[Overseas]

10. Her description of recent poll movement -- "the Obama-Biden Surge"

She talked about "the Obama-Biden surge," and kudos to her for that. What a perfect use of words.

The Obama-Biden Surge !! That's it. Toss that term right back at the GOP in a totally new context.

How will they handle the "Obama Biden Surge" from here on out?

[malaise]

18. They no longer have time to react

They're eating each other in public.

[madokie]

12. she rocks

as does Sen. Boxer

[proud patriot]

16. Me too

Rock on Rachel

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

20. I wish Boxer were majority leader

She's a born leader, in my book.

[Chichiri]

23. Obama said 'pie' 15 times in under two minutes. YOUR MOVE, SENATOR MCCAIN!!

:rofl:

[Lucy Goosey]

27. Hee!

Loved.

[Ichingcarpenter]

24. Rachael nailed the whole John Lewis thing on McCain

have said he would consult Lewis earlier then slamming him when he did.

That's not consultation McCain that's service.

[Oldtimeralso]

25. I love Rachel too but

Her map of where the candidates would be campaigning she said that Tundra Trash would be in Indiana and the arrow pointed to Illinois, but labeled it IN.

[malaise]

26. Hope she corrects that n/t

[Lucy Goosey]

28. She might be the smartest, most insightful person on TV.

And she's hilarious! The pie thing had me laughing out loud - "Your move, Senator McCain." Hee!

[Ichingcarpenter]

29. I agree... I hadn't thought about that McCain quote on John Lewis

on how he would use his advice but when it was given he
blew it off.

[malaise]

30. And she's so delightfully affable

She's an absolute joy to watch - intelligent and funny.

[Ichingcarpenter]

34. she works very hard.... and I know reads DU

and other progressives sites.

[lynettebro440]

35. I have always loved Barbara and Rachel too

[Ichingcarpenter]

36. David Frum....... I hate the National Review

But glad he came on Rachel

[Ichingcarpenter]

38. He can't win against her

[Ichingcarpenter]

41. Now he's just lying

[malaise]

40. She's eating him - devouring him

he's heartbroken - beaten and I'm lovin it.

[Gregorian]

Can you imagine how O'Reilly would have handled this kind of interview!

Fantastic.

She's great.

[Ichingcarpenter]

47. We need to take back the TV again

or we will never change the herd.

[Gregorian]

52. We can do it.

If we make it profitable. And I guarantee she's good for business. We don't need a Fairness Doctrine. We just need more people doing what she's doing. It'll catch on. O'Reilly will bomb when people see what real, intelligent people look like.


Damn, I am so full of glee about this.

[Gregorian]

39. She's handling a rude David Frum right now.

With grace.

He's admonishing her like a child. What a prick. And yet she's handling him very well.

And she altered her entire interview to address what he said, instead of what he came on to say. He's taken back by it.

Another "adult" republican trying to tell us what to do. She's really handling this to perfection.


Rachel!!!

[Ichingcarpenter]

42. I want to slap him like the punk he is

I'm a man and want to slap him and not hit him

[Gregorian]

45. He's an injured child.

The funny thing is, watching him I realize WE are the adults. They just act and look like adults.

[malaise]

43. She's eating him raw

Now he's telling her to invite Wolfowitz.

[Ichingcarpenter]

46. We have DUers that say the National Review is a good source

for fair opinions.

Vomit

[Gregorian]

49. This was inspiring.

She's a combination of intelligence, and no testosterone. Hm. I am sure I could have found a way to say that better.

She raises the level of discourse. She didn't let him get away with anything.


You know, I get the feeling we're on our way to a new era. Not just an election.

[high density]

44. What a shit David Frum is

Wow.

[Blue Belle]

48. Wow. David Frum is a dick.

I'm sorry, but he was a snarky bastard. This is a man who crafted the Bush message and he's bitching about the sinking level of political discourse?? Seriously? What a dick.

Rachel was a lot more collected in that situation than I would have been. She handled it well.

[malaise]

50. Here's the real story

That asshole just conceded the election - President and Congress. Fuck him!! Rachel put him in his arrogant place.

[Ichingcarpenter]

51. Please let Billy Kristol be her next guest!!!!!! He's from the National Review!

Please????

[deutsey]

54. Yes, "Axis of Evil" (which Frum coined) is elevated political discourse

Dickhead.

And, yes, I add that less-than-elevated epithet intentionally, Mr. Frum.

[Ichingcarpenter]

57. I forgot that he coined that stupidity for a foreign policy which

divided the world against us.

[Blue Belle]

60. I really hate calling people that...

and I hate calling people names as a rule... but David Frum is seriously a dick.

[elizfeelinggreat]

53. :)

Rachel Rocks.

[Ichingcarpenter]

55. She is a liar!!! ...... Rachel rocks

Talking about Palin

[ecstatic]

56. The piece on Palin is ROFL funny

:rofl: "Alternate universe"

I kind of envy Palin's ability to lie so blatantly. I think it even works because the MSM is barely talking about it!

[Lucy Goosey]

61. "Rachel vs. Palin's Alternate Universe" - Hee!

And thanks, Rach, for calling Palin a liar.

[Overseas]

58. So glad Rachel handled David Frum so well. He was very rude.

Because she disagreed with him, he had to pitch a slimeball and she ably refuted it.

He even tried to use that tired and long since disproved Republican old saw that Democrats just don't want to face up to national security threats. Ridiculous and idiotic and she said so and then he accused her of really not caring because she hadn't brought Wolfowitz on?

And I'm thinkin' who'd want that idiot on? He's one of the fools who promoted the Iraq war under false pretenses and told us it would be a cakewalk.

And there were subsequent slashes from Frumm's side, trying to equate Rachel's reporting with random rabid Republican shouting. Which were firmly parried by Rachel.

WOW! No wonder reporters on other shows roll over when some of those wing nuts appear on their shows. If you dare contradict them they'll slash you with some quick slander or demeaning putdown in a little soundbyte.

Frumm is a rude highly strung egotist isn't he?! Now he'll probably discourage other righties from appearing on Rachel's show.

BUT I DON'T CARE. I'd rather have Rachel responding to them clearly and strongly as she does. :loveya:

[renate]

62. he negated his own point about behaving seriously by trying a sneak attack like that

She was grace personified and his assholery was shown up in sharp relief.

He goes on a person's show, saying he'll talk about one thing and then ambushes the host, and he says he wants to raise the tone of political discourse?

The topic may be worth discussing, but a DECENT person would have said "Rachel, this is what I'm going to talk about... I don't want to surprise or insult you, live on air." But no. Because he is a giant tool.

[Overseas]

66. I'd seen him be a regular Republican elitist, but not that nasty before.

He's really dedicated to their creed, Country Club First.

[deutsey]

59. Let Rachel know: [e-mail] n/t

[Ichingcarpenter]

63. I send her stuff

just like I do Keith.

[orleans]

64. thanks for the address for her. just sent her a little support. n/t

[Overseas]

65. OK. I just did. Thanks for the suggestion. //

[here_is_to_hope]

67. She is an American Badass! n/t
