I hate that show and your description is dead on. “Coconut convention”...heh....makes me snort. and how about that esteemed Dan Rather....ever notice how no other show has him on? Think there might be a reason for this?
But I can’t for the life of me find one other political show on after MTP, at least here in the swamps. So I watch Matthews and yeah, they all sit around and agree with each other and congratulate each other for having sensibly solved the problems of the world.
Well that’s kind of funny right there.
Thanks to both of you for your contributions on this week’s thread.
IMHO, I hope everyone from single precinct captain or co-ordinator on up is compiling a list of names, emails, addresses and phone #’s from this mid-term battle to use, starting on Nov 3rd, for 2012.
Do either of you know if this is happening? If not, it really needs to be.
Just to know that people like Christine and Marco can get as far as they have without having any real political groundwork for them in place in advance, to have achieved what they have so far is amazing.
The info gathered so far will be invaluable nationwide as the 2012 battle starts.
“Dan Rather....ever notice how no other show has him on?”
I think Dan Rather is truly pathetic. It used to be that if you were in the news business, your credibility was your greatest asset. Now it seems all you have to do is impress your coworkers. But Rather fits in well with that Matthews group.
CM’s show comes on here right before MTP and is on opposite the first half of Christiane Amanpour’s show. I usually start off with Amanpour but end up switching quickly when Christiane’s voice starts to drive me into the crazy zone.
What’s the name of the show - - Tingle along with Chrissy?
