yes, those who watched it did.

[oreolady]

Thanks so much, I didn't see the pizza show!

[Timeout]

I love it when Joe Trippi said Zell should just become a Republican.

Without missing a beat, Scarborough said,
"What? There's not 'room in your party' for people like Zell?"!!!!!

Trippi had walked right into that one. The MediaCrat's talking points are lying all over the cutting room floor! LOL

[myprecious]

I read earlier on this thread that the satellite truck did not arrive on time. No source for this, just earlier rumor.

Our president is in God's hands and covered with prayer. Add another layer if you are concerned. ;^)

[Mo1]

So .. The dims did accuse Bush of treason, repeatedly.

YEP .. Al Gore .. Teddy Kennedy .. Dick Gephardt .. Hellary Clinton .. Shall we pull out their speeches ??

[nutmeg]

LOL, I just switched to CSPAN to see Zell again also! (Thanks to some FReeper who posted that info on this thread)

Zell gave a longer, GREAT speech as our keynote speaker at CPAC in January, but his speech tonight was the stuff of legends! Knocked way, way out of the park. I could listen over and over...

[LisaFab]

Their minions have been attacking Zell all day today already. "He's a sellout to sell his books, he's a lame duck who wants attention" Blah blah.

[gipper81]

Ron Silver just said that a lot of Democrats are staying quiet but going to vote for Bush, at which point Joe Scarborough asked if he had come to that conclusion on his own, because today he had heard whispers from several pollsters that they are finding a lot of people not willing to say that they are voting for Bush, but actually planning to do so.(not a verbatim quote, and wondering a bit how they actually can deduce that, but that's the gist of the statement.)

This is exactly what happened when Reagan kicked Carter's ass.

[Soul Seeker]

And every American who hears of it will know he was a Democrat as well. Word of mouth will NOT forget that detail around the water coolers.

[Numbers Guy]

...Zell used to work for Lester Maddox, a DEMOCRAT of hate.

Al Gore Jr. was raised by a man who opposed the Civil Rights Act.

[HRoarke]

I can't believe I deleted it.

Does anyone have the Kerry Senate campaign flyer with all of the proposed weapons cancellations and reductions?

[Cousin Eddie]

Zell's speech and the interview with Chrissy reminded me of Pat Buchanan in '92 and Al Campanis on Nightline.

Angry speech. Could have delivered exactly the same speech, BUT SMILE A LITTLE!!!!!!!!

He was mis-hearing Chrissy due to poor audio and background noise...but no excuse... his reaction does not sell with Indy's...only with us red-meat types.

I have a very bad feeling...thank goodness that MSNBC has poor ratings, but everyone saw the speech.

And before you flame me, just think about what Freepers' reactions would have been to Buchanan's pathetic diatribe in '92. They would have been praising it to high heaven and talking about the total decapitation of the liberal wackjobs.

Now flame away.

[YaYa123]

Joe Trippi on "After Hours" with Scarborough, says in presidential elections, the undecideds usually go to the incumbant. He explains presidential elections are different than senator and governor races, where the undecided votes most often go to the newcomer, not the incumbant.

[oreolady]

I pray this night will STICK, remember, we are dealing with EVIL POEPLE FROM HERE ON OUT!!!
THEY WON'T TAKE THIS LIGHTLY.

[Petronski]

Clinton's hero was Fulbright, a ne'er-repentent segregationist.


All of which proves nothing.

[oceanview]

he's talking about the last SOTU speech, and that speech at the miltary academy (??) in June about the iraqi handoff.

[Cboldt]

Ron Silver just said that a lot of Democrats are staying quiet but going to vote for Bush

On MSNBC, Norah O'Donnel (she travels with the President's entourage) says the GOP hasn't said it yet, but would like to get a mandate.

I could live with that.

[NYC Republican]

Yeah, the metaphor line was a good one, Zell stung him with that... Should have realized you were doing the same. Sorry I over-reacted

[Windcatcher]

Just started recording. Missed the very beginning, but I'll get most of it :)

[WoodstockCat]

Their minions have been attacking Zell all day today already. "He's a sellout to sell his books, he's a lame duck who wants attention" Blah blah.

Led by Terry Mc-Awful.

I think it was the primary reason that Zell came out with such fire and passion. He knew the attacks and smears were coming and he just paid them back 50-fold in primetime.
