LOL: Zell Miller just endorsed Gravel

[CatWoman]

:rofl:

[shadowknows69]

1. Thanks Zell

cross him off the list.

[CatWoman]

5. oh come on

where's your sense of humor?

:)

personally, I like Gravel. What a tiger!! :)

[babylonsister]

2. Hmmm, I LIKED what Gravel said.nt

[Donnachaidh]

3. well THAT sure covers it for me!

NOT. :rofl:

Hope Gravel appreciates the Zell Miller kiss o' death. :rofl:

[krkaufman]

4. Ha! He did seem to have a similar approach to Zell....

... but from a more sane side of the political spectrum.

[CatWoman]

7. DING DING DING DING DING

Gentlemen: we have a winnah!! :)

[Jack Rabbit]

6. What did poor Mr. Gravel do to deserve that?

[LSK]

8. and it came from KO?? I dont get it

[MadBadger]

23. Poor Gravel? Are you fucking kidding me? He attacked everybody

[Jack Rabbit]

46. You have to fill me in on these things

I killed my television set when the news was all Monica all the time.

[GOPisEvil]

9. Sorry, I love Keith, but that was a cheap shot.

[CatWoman]

16. what's wrong with you people?? I thought it was great!!!

and I took it as more a slam on Tweety than on Gravel.

:hi:

[frankenforpres]

24. it wasnt

he was saying gravel was batshit crazy like zell


i thought it was really lame by keith

[CatWoman]

25. well

I didn't interpret it that way.

[LSK]

28. how did you take it? I dont get it

[CatWoman]

36. see #16

:)

[GOPisEvil]

38. I took it as though Keith was saying Gravel is as crazy as Zell.

I could be wrong though. :hi:

[babylonsister]

39. Thank you. nt

[Wiley50]

10. Got a link or are you just being an asshat? n/t

[patrice]

22. There is No link. Ridicule is easier than validity. nm

[Wiley50]

44. Ridicule? more accurately slander ( or libel since written word)

Seems to me like someone feels their big name frontrunners are threatened.

They should be as forthright
We might get this country back on track

[liberalnurse]

11. No, that is not what Keith meant....

to say...he was sensing a similarity in their speech pattern and impulsive passion. Zell and Gravel are complete polar opposites......Keith just mis-spoke.

I think Gravel was adorable, sincere, passionate and willing to really speak out.

[H2O Man]

12. I think he adds

to the quality of the discussion.

[LSK]

13. yes, he forces the hot issues

[H2O Man]

15. I'd like to

donate to his campaign, if only to try to make sure his voice is heard in the national debates.

[LSK]

20. I was thinking the same thing

Since I dont have a clear cut favorite yet.

[H2O Man]

27. I like a number

of the candidates. In fact, I thought they all did well tonight. But I recognize that people at the grass roots level need to invest in the candidates who are most strongly opposed to the war. It makes the primary process far more likely to move in the correct direction, rather than the corporate direction.

[Wiley50]

31. You are my (and many other DUers) Hero, Waterman

Thanks for speaking out here

[H2O Man]

35. Thank you.

I think that sometimes the American public -- including progressives -- gets so used to the fake canned crap on television, that when there is some real outrage, that it is not recognized for what it is. But this guy is right: the war is wrong, it is an outrage, and the US occupation of Iraq must end.

[krkaufman]

42. Agreed. And makes the rest of the Democratic field very appealing ...

... to Republicans. I *loved* what Gravel had to say, and feel the others lack of passion should be considered abnormal.

quoting my bro's bumper sticker...

"If you're not outraged, then you're not paying attention."

[Adelante]

14. I'll say

He was a breath of fresh air.

[liberalnurse]

19. Gravel sure did represent

the voice of the grassroots activist. It's what these candidates don't really get to hear much of being in the bubble. Dennis Kucinich does, because he attends PDA Events.

[H2O Man]

30. I agree.

Fully. Both of them were good, strong spokespersons for the grass roots.

[patrice]

17. I liked what Gravel said and I think it is sad that people laugh

at someone because they weren't careful like the others to hide behind their public masks and not rock the boat.

[KharmaTrain]

18. Every Debate Needs A Gravel

I'm not sure whose worse...the inane questions from the "journalists" or the cookie cutter answers most candidates throw out in these venues. The frontrunners go into these things to "play it safe"...that's where Gravel is fun. He turns this from a Presser into something resembling a debate.

Hell...I can't wait for Tancredo at the Repugnican debate...that debate will give us lots of laughs and more fireworks...and not a bad thing.

[CatWoman]

21. Those questions did blow chunks, didn't they?

and who the hell neutered Tucker?

He acted almost human


:hi:

[KharmaTrain]

32. Call It The "Faux Factor"

I think MSNBC is treading lightly here. Think on this one. I would imagine they get regular "focus group" info...and its been showing their audience trending more and more Democratic and to the left...Olbermann is leading the way and the rest of the network is trying to adjust. Look at how they decided to give Steph Miller a shot...no way would they have taken that cahnce 6 months or a year ago.

The fact Democrats are boycotting Faux also has to be registering at MSNBC as well...they have the credibility Faux tried to get and couldn't.

Cheers...

:hi:

[Roy]

26. The Dem Party needs lots of Gravels' imo N/T

[patrice]

33. I sincerely agree.

It is sad to see him ridiculed for not having that off-the-rack persona that comes from doing exactly what the consultants say.

[Canuckistanian]

29. Zell DOES know that Mike's a Dem, right?

Never mind. Here's an easier question.

Does Zell even know what planet he's on?

[BlooInBloo]

34. Can't wait to see DUers now start supporting Zell. LOL!

[CatWoman]

37. my thread title was a quote from Keith Olbermann

:hi:

[BlooInBloo]

40. Ooohh - it's funny! lol! Sorry - I've been on the basketball game for awhile.

[babylonsister]

41. CatWoman, we are now playing virtual 'telephone'.

:evilgrin: Who said what to who?!

[CatWoman]

43. well, it appears that a lot of folks are humor-impaired tonite

:hi:

[babylonsister]

45. Well,

I'm not humor-impaired, but you'll see how I feel upthread; I think KO misspoke, as much as I love him.
And so what? It's a done deal; on to the next.
