HA! Andrea Mitchell tell Joe S. that he helped Hillary win!
Edited on Thu Jan-10-08 07:28 AM by PCIntern
She told him that actions such as his showing tabloids on his AM show with pix of Hillary looking bad allowed women to feel sorry for her and thus vote for her. That photo editors in tabloids do their level best to find transition expressions which occur between emotive responses which look just horrible. (occasionally the Times does that too - not limited to tabloids)

the look on his face was just priceless.

3. Of course,
he had to agree with her, since:
a. She's right
b. She and/or her husband could have him crushed like a beetle.

5. HRC is a perfect example of how the media manipulates images. She's not my candidate, but I
do see and try to call out the deliberate manipulations they use on all of them. It happens to the others as well, but it isn't as common in the MSM as it is with HRC.

6. absolutely right
my wife who is not a Hilary supporter is really pissed at the MSM because of the double standard. Men like Matthews are scarborough are dicks.

7. Beyond dicks IMO...
Dangerous misogynistic homophobes and racist under the guise of "we all obviously HAVE to get along".

Despicable...

8. Me as well. She's my bottom choice, but as a 40 something woman, I've seen it all on a personal
level and it makes me sick.

9. I think she in part right - but it's not about "feeling sorry" for Hillary, but identifying with her
IMO.

10. I agree...
I believe that we 'feel sorry' to the extent that we do b/c we project ourselves into the position of the aggrieved party and think "how would I feel?"

The innaresting part about Bush Jr. is that since he has some folks projecting themselves into his brain, they don't understand the 'complexity' of the diagnosis applicable here. "How would I feel..." doesn't apply in this instance.
