This was a jawdropper!

I didn’t know Tweety held the “netroots” is such contempt.

That's because the netroots are doing a better job of reporting than Matthews has in ten years

Had to share it. If you watched to the end, what Matthews was getting at that is that Grayson and his House liberals have been lying to their voters about Senate budget rules (from the summer to even now.) . They make them think the public plan was always possible to get in the Senate but Obama and Senate democrats just played too nice with Republicans to get it. Is this to intimidate democrat Senators to act, or to just create a myth when they dont try it and health reform dies?

Matthews has this ability to be rational and knows these liberal nutbags are a big (not the only) reason why Obama-care failed to get passed; which goes to what I said in 2008: " If you have to have democrats in power, you need the dumbest ones in power so they will fail fast and big to get the voters pi...ed off. And these ones are perfect for that job " which is why I loved Pelosi. While others are screaming "We are all going to die" a few of us were saying "democrat train wreck coming"

You absolutely hit the nail on the head there.

Its an outbreak of FRE (Fox Ratings Envy). The effect is cute, in a way, like watching four year olds flap their arms in an effort to fly like a bird.

Chrissey is a little confused these days.

I don't know if Grayson is dishonest, stupid, or lazy. When he interviewed the Fed inspector, he referred to a Bloomberg article, but he lumped together FDIC numbers with FED numbers and claimed the total of dollars all belonged to the FED. If he has read the article he would have known what he was saying was wrong.

There certainly is a lot of potential for lying about senate rules, though. Grayson isn't the only who is spinnng yarns about avoiding senate filibusters.

Speaking of ratings, I have spoken with several individuals recently who told me that on Tuesday night they tuned in MSNBC simply for the joy of watching the various hosts on that channel crying like babies. I did the same thing. Enjoyed myself for almost an hour of pure Schadenfreude.

I've got it on my DVR...great stuff.

I bet Tuesday night was a ratings bonanza for MSNBC.

They still got smoked 4-1 by Fox. LOL!

It’s just too funny, this is the thrill up his leg guy and he’s the sane one in the face the Congressman from DU.

Hmmmm, Ben Nelson, Chris Matthews.

I remember Sean Hannity saying he didn’t believe Ben. He was 100% correct.

Chris Matthews is just another liar, as was Ben. Screw them both.

They call him Tweety over there (no clue about that) and they are going off about him bigtime...

He looks like Tweety Bird, of course...right down to the shape of the head.
