That's one way of covering a slip-up up. Claim it didn't happen

I just caught most of Hillary Clinton's speech, and she did get into Grampy a little bit. I think she also did a good job of addressing her supporters who may be misguided enough to think sitting this election out or voting for McCain is making some sort of meaningful statement.

Yeah, but the response from her supporters in general has not been positive. This is really going south.

Going south? Like your hard on for McCain after you saw her slam dunk the speech?

If its gone south, then they are not the democrats this country needs.

You telling me that a deomcrat will elect another republican term so we can trash this country even more?

I don't think so, and I think any dem worth his salt will see that what Hillary is saying is the correct thing to do.  

Swallow your pride, Obama won the primary....go to the booths on election day and VOTE for OBAMA.

 You go vote for mccain, and you are gonna get what you asked for, more of the same.

This is amazing. Why do these out of touch idiots get to make up crazy narratives and form complex judgements about things when they obvious don't know sh*t.

O'Donnell has got to be the dimmest bulb in the pack over there.

The funniest moment tonight, though, belongs to Andrea Mitchell, who tried to urge a 79 year-old Hillary supporter that maybe she was not going to support Obama. She kept asking her why she wasn't supporting him, and the woman kept answering back to her that she was!

Anyone else notice last night how Olbermann smacked down Matthews with a hand gesture, right after he stepped on Luke Russert's opening lines? 

I do believe that Keith's hand-gesture smackdown of Matthews is unfortunately destined for also-ran anonymity now, after Olberman was caught on open-mic suggesting that Scarborough, in mid-punditation, "get a shovel" to help move the BS that he was flinging.  An inevitable classic, but possibly the end of a beautiful friendship?

You have to love that MSNBC

I just watched Larry King with his board of " opposition party " representatives. I guess cable Tv managed to replace the long held code of honor letting the party having the convention to have the party without interruption. Let's see if Larry King going to host another " opposition party " representavives during the republican convention .

I was scratching my head about that as well.  Larry King said something like "The Democrats have spoken, now it's the Republicans' turn".  I was wondering if they canceled the RNC, since that would normally be considered their "turn".

Let's see if Larry King going to host another " opposition party " representavives during the republican convention .

NOpe.  Ol' Larry will be on vacation all next week, and his favorite guest host Pat Sajak will have just one guest - Jeff Christie.  (I just made that up, but it would not surprise me one bit.)

King said last night that he will have Dems on hand to respond to the Repugs.  The question now is, will they be pit bulls or lap dogs?

Norah, you blonde roots are beginning to show.

Sorry about that but my keyboard has not been equipped with the Politically Correct function. So don't blame me.

"Norah, you blonde roots are beginning to show. "

Lay offa Norah, lads.  She and Tweety gave great comic relief, a coupla months ago, when they took Hillary to task for her "cackle."  The two of them were just one shy of a gaggle.  Also, (PC ALERT:)  you've got to admit, she's easy on the orbs. 

O'DONNELL ABU!

We recorded the whole thing on CNN and were specifically waiting to hear Claire speak.  We missed it, twice!  I went through the recording again and noticed her speaking in the background while the CNN pundits were chattering ad nauseam about how the Democrats weren't attacking enough and didn't have a message.  I was so irritated.

Claire McCaskill rarely speaks (she is too busy working) and she is a great voice for the party.  It was really frustrating.  We didn't record Fox (for obvious reasons), but I would be willing to guess they were busy trying to split the party by goading the Clinton supporters.

Please Digg, Buzz or otherwise pass this story along and blog and comment about this problem all over the place.

O'Donnell has a pretty face and that's what is important ... context? facts? knowledge of the subject matter you are discussing? C'mon then what would over-paid blowhards like Gregory, Barnicle, Scarborough, Matthews talk about ... it would mean they would have to do research and reporting ... this would interfere with their carousing/drinking as they walk the hallways/bars of their hotel like entitled "Johns".

Wow.  These people are astoundingly poor at their jobs.

"poor" is the last thing they are ... "over-paid" "misogynistic" "angry" "fascistic" "water carriers for the MSM" "boring" "lacking of general knowledge/facts" "irritating" "un-qualified" "lacking of any opinion unless approved by corporate" and "just plain stupid" would be a few qualifiers that I would use to describe these dolts. Thank god for Olbermann and Maddow.

August 27, 2008 --

ANIMOSITY among MSNBC anchors has reached a mile-high peak at the Democratic National Convention in Denver, with on-air squabbling between such big egos as Joe Scarborough, Keith Olbermann, Chris Matthews and David Shuster.

Scarborough, who served in Congress as a Republican representative from Florida, seems to be particularly touchy being the only host who isn't openly pro-Democratic.

Yesterday, after Shuster referred to "your party, the Republican Party," Scarborough went off, sparking a seven-minute exchange.

"I will let you know that 'my party,' my party loathes me much more than your party, the Democratic Party, loathes me," Scarborough seethed. "What about your party? What's your party, David Shuster? David, what's your party?"

"I have no party. I'm a complete independent," Shuster replied.

"Oh, I feel so comforted by the fact that you're independent. I bet everyone at MSNBC has 'independent' on their voting cards," said Scarborough.

Scarborough declined to talk to Page Six, but sources say he and NBC anchor Tom Brokaw disagree with MSNBC's decision to position itself as the channel for George W. Bush-haters.

At a forum on Sunday, when Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell called MSNBC "the official network of the Obama campaign," Brokaw said, "I think Keith has gone too far. I think Chris has gone too far."

Insiders say Olbermann is pushing to have Brokaw banned from the network and is also refusing to have centrist Time magazine columnist Mike Murphy on his show.

"The idea of anyone trying to ban Tom Brokaw is ludicrous," said one MSNBC-er. Brokaw was on MSNBC for an hour yesterday afternoon. Murphy, who was bumped from Olbermann's show on Monday night, told us, "They told me technical problems and I have no reason not to believe them."

Yeah Joe, you're no republican. You only served as one, and repeatedly use their talking points. And Matthews not a republican? Not going by what has tumbled from his mouth in recent years.

Really? Using Page 6 of the NY Post as a source?

They've got some experience with making crap up about Olbermann et al. "Keith apparently has threatened to quit if he doesn't get the [Meet the Press] job."

 Interesting analysis With Russert Gone, NBC News Devolves into "Lord of the Flies"

At this point, the only thing missing from the MSNBC set near Union Station in Denver is a pig's head mounted on a stick. Never in the history of television has a news network gone into meltdown on the sort of grand scale that has been on display this week at NBC News. Things have gone from bad to worse during MSNBC's coverage of the Democratic National Convention in Denver - and the week is only half over. With the meek and ineffectual Brian Williams, Tom Brokaw, Andrea Mitchell and Chuck Todd busying themselves with coverage over at the big network, the biguns and littleuns at MSNBC have divided into two warring camps. Keith Olbermann now leads a savage band of far-left kooks posing as reporters and news analysts (David Shuster, Rachel Maddow, etc.) while a disorganized rabble of establishment types (Chris Matthews, Joe Scarborough, etc.) scrambling to stave off defections to Olbermann's tribe and protect their own hides. Krazy Keith seems perfectly prepared to burn the whole set down rather than let one dissenting voice make air to criticize or challenge the Obama Informercial that Olbermann is attempting to orchestrate. You can find the video clips on this site and all over the internet as Olbermann interrupts Scarborough, Scarborough mocks Keith on his morning show, Olbermann accuses Matthews of stealing other people's ideas, Matthews snarls at Olbermann, Shuster goes after Joe and so the world turns on the soap opera that has become "Your Place for Pettiness". Is this the honoring of Tim Russert's memory that NBC executives like Jeff Zucker, Steve Capus and Phil Griffin had in mind for this year's convention. Class acts all. Maybe for "Election Night 2008", Keith can pound Matthews over the head with a white board while shouting "Florida, Florida, Florida!"

Why not position a camera in Nora O'Donnell's trailer so we can see exactly who it is she's blowing to keep her face on camera?

The media has now clearly cast its vote for John McCain. Obama cannot defeat both John McCain and the media.

CSPAN has uninterrupted coverage of the convention. There were plenty of attacks on McCain. The big 3 covered none of that.

I tried watching on the cable news channels, and it was unwatchable. It was nothing but pundits takes on what they felt the speeches REALLY said.

I switched to watching CSPAN, and their coverage has been great. It's nice to actually hear the speeches instead of seeing the same pundits we always see on cable news giving us their spin.

We've been watching on Cspan - they're carrying everything except the network chatter. I'm a huge MSNBC fan, but we wanted to see the speeches and many of them have been really good.  The network anchors just don't seem to be able to shut up for 5 minutes, none of them!
