chandler was more wimpy. This guy has some meat to him. Look at the way his eyes are and how he speaks. His accent is almost the same.
He is an idiot. The rest of the commentators hate him too. He started to say something about W. being the first born again President and it took about half a second for two people to tell him he was wrong. Probably waited all night to come up with that point...
Zell has not power to influence the Dems at all. He's out. Dems hate him. Obama if he is very talented, has a chance to reshape matters in his party (or elements of it), as a charismatic articulate black moderate. The future is his, if he has the right stuff, and goes the moderate route. The fact of the matter, is that both parties are at once, more ideological than ever before, and more susceptible to being influenced by a charismatic champion to change their complexion somewhat. The parties are at once locked in concrete and open to change. I know it sounds like BS, but it really isn't. You can see it in the polls, where voters views are shaped to an amazing degree by what their leader thinks. There is a lot of brand name loyalty, more than since, well maybe, the 1870-1896 period.
Remember when CT was rural New England and fairly reliable WASPY (R) country?
funny how demographics change.....we're not immune here either....Florida and the piedmont of NC are both dicey and look at Kali...it's about gone.
Prediction time:
Bush will propose a program to convert public housing to private ownership.
You know how I feel about ownership and property Torie.
I got my fingers crossed.
That's a blatant lie. As I posted in another thread about this, Zell was Georgia state senator from 1961-1965; then was out of politics until 1975, when he was elected lieutenant governor. Lester Maddox was elected governor in 1966, and served one term, then one term at lieutenant governor until 1974. So they weren't even in office at the same time!
The appropriate way to deliver the above remark is to be -- angry.
I didn't see the speech. I only read his words from your link. I hope Zell was angry enough.
:::APPLAUSE:::::
Did she bring flip-flops or just swing her arms? That bit was hilarious. Who says Republicans don't have a sense of humor? From what I heard about Inhofe on F&F this week, they should've given him a slot at the podium.
Anyone know who it was that barged in on an interview yesterday with Matthews. I saw a clip of it but wasn't paying much attention. Security had to take the guy away.
Their whole lineup is so pathetic and transparent. No pretense of objectivity, in fact Howard Kurtz did a piece earlier this evening about how Dems are watching CNN and Repubs watching Fox, even noting the percentage that Fox is up and CNN down for this convention! I guess they are finally admitting that they are niche marketing...
I'm 30 (admittedly too old to be on MTV), but I could do a better job of analyzing the youth vote than Gideon.
So true.
For those non Southern pre- 1970s people out there. What you have just witnessed was a part of the dying Old South's example of Southern manhood reiled up.
Zell reminds me of my Great-grandfather. A tough old bird, working hard, hard playing, but easy to laugh Redneck. And to add to that, he's a Marine. No better friend, no worse enemy.
One doesn't not question an old Southern like that, Missy Chris Matthews. And certainly not in such a flippant manner. You "invited" him, a guest into your "home" and proceed to abuse him, without cause...and with full malice.
You repeatedly "stepped" on his toes. You done that and you don't know how lucky you are get away with it unscathed. Southerns are not known to suffer insults gladly, certainly not at the hands of an upstart, sissified Yankee.
Its called HONOUR , something you don't have.
We are being fired up.We all should have a fire in our bellies and we all MUST get out there,in REAL LIFE,and work every day now,to help get President Bush re-elected.That's what this convention,not to mention Zell's stem-winder,is really all about.
Lately, that is all she seems to be able to do in sKerry's campaign... for someone so powerful, a billionaire, who says "shove it" to a reporter and "it won't surprise you I have something to say", she sure has been quiet lately.
I live in NE CT on 5 acres. My daughters father in law lives on 138 acres. Still pretty rural up here and still shotguns hanging over the mantle.
We are Americans, we are silly kids who love their parents, men who have served their country with pride and honor, people with a history of liberating people around the world, defenders of freedom at home, men and women who value and long for marriages that last, lovers of the immigrant who makes it big, etc., etc. etc.
This convention is going over the head of those who try to tell us the news. It was said earlier that this won't play on the west coast or northeast, but it will in Iowa, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Ohio. And those are the battleground states.
I've had some good laughs tonight. That was the finest. :)
Could he have meant that Zell "learned at Maddox's knee," so to speak?
And Matthews looked like a dog getting a bath.
