As soon as I heard the conversation on MTP early yesterday morning I knew he would run with it. And I actually thought Gregory might ask some serious questions now that the real campaigning has begun. His republican round table was especially annoying this week.

@mitchellreports Wow-way to try your best to get Solmonese to turn against President Obama-stuttering & stammering your way through that.

@mitchellreports Why didn't you "remind" Madden that Romney used to say he'd be better on gay rights than Ted Kennedy?

It would be the better place for me to spit out these little comments (though, it's not that often) when the TV is pissing me off and there's no one around to scream it to. lol

Your tweets are great! Do they ever tweet back from mitchellreports?

And no, they have never tweeted back, but David Schuster tweeted back when I sent him tweets when he worked at MSNBC. Also, when I tweeted Hardball that there's no reason to have Palin on their opening graphics since she's not VP and not even running for president, they replaced her with Romney!

Grover Nordquist also tweeted me back about a week ago.

I also tweeted this when Reince Priebus was on MSNBC today: @GOP Reince-OBAMA'S not authentic? Bwahahahaha! Romney said he'd be better on gay rights than Ted Kennedy! Now he's totally against them.

For some reason I thought I had to be following someone to respond to them. Maybe I'll make my first to you. I wouldn't feel so stupid. Right in the middle of moving, though, so I'll have to think of what to say. I only reading DU, at this time, when I get really frustrated with this move or when I'm waiting on the phone while changing services and stuff. Three hours with the Phone company already today.

You can tweet me by writing @jenmito in the box on the upper left side of the "home" page and then just say whatever you want. And you can click on "@Connect" on the upper left-hand side to see my reply to you (and it would help to tell me your name you go by on twitter so I know it's you).

Wow-you ARE busy. You're going through all the trouble of moving. Take your time.

it correctly.

But I think I did. I got the sense Mitchell was trying to get the Obama spokesperson to say something to disparage those who think their marriage IS a sacrament. Or to at least appear to have done so. Maybe get the Obama spokesperson to say that marriage is NOT a sacrament. And then attack on that point.

With her crypt keeper husband. The conflict of interest with her having air time is amazing. Really, does the media think we don't know who she is and what knob she is polishing?

"...who she is and what knob she is polishing" I've never heard it put that way. Very good.

I used to think the crypt keeper had some good intentions, and even thought possibly Andrea was getting a little smarter - but I was wrong about both. Morning shows are just right wingy. Except that Alex woman. What I've heard from her has been great! I don't know that much about her, though. I don't really watch morning shows to speak of. Background noise. Could be on ABC family channel, as long as 700 club isn't on. I don't pay that much attention to any of it.

It's mostly just background noise so I seldom even notice what she's saying. Or it's on some other mindless channel. There are so many to choose from.

Either way, I would tend to agree. She is part of the "treat Repubs and Democrats equally" crowd even when the Republicans are obviously way more extreme on an issue, which is true most of the time.
