Jeffrey Toobin: "That was AWFUL! That was pathetic!"

[JackBeck]

"One of the worst speeches I've seen him give!"

[TeamJordan23]

1. "He had trouble reading the teleprompter." nm

[TexasObserver]

2. later in the day, more his old issues are a problem

it's probably past his bed time

[FrenchieCat]

3. That was the most honest thing I have ever heard on CNN.

Gergen came behind him and tried to clean it up....but too late! :rofl:

Toobin was telling the uncensored truth.

[JackBeck]

10. Toobin caught his own self, at one point.

Started to say "catatonic".

Our reaction:

[FatDave]

17. I give it two "gah!"'s and an "oh brother"

[JackBeck]

20. LOL. Exactly!

:toast:

[Phx_Dem]

22. I love her.

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

[JackBeck]

25. Huge fans!

We quote her all the time!

:hi:

[roguevalley]

34. Toobin is fun to watch because he always acknowledges the

elephant in the room. :)

[Bullet1987]

4. It's going to be easy to outshine McCain...because he can't pull

the crowds Obama can. He'll get his largest crowd on the day of the rethug national convention.

[billyoc]

5. Wow, GG Toobin.

What's with the truth all of a sudden? :shrug:

[City Lights]

6. Ha! Toobin must not have seen many. They ALL suck.

Same old, same old. Boring shit.

[Orrex]

30. Whoopsie--delete!

:blush:

[Hamlette]

7. damn, why didn't MSNBC have a real person respond to the speech, not Harold "kiss his ass" Ford. n/t

[ErinBerin84]

8. damn it, wish I could have seen that!

haha, Harold Ford "BEST SPEECH EVER!" vs Toobin "WORST SPEECH EVER!"

[featherman]

9. Harold Ford!!! "The best speech McCain has ever given!!!"

Then he repeated McCain's talking points as "difficult to overcome" for Obama and on and on and on.

Whose side is this guy on???

[blonndee]

12. Whose side is he on? He's DLC through and through. You KNOW whose side he's on.

[featherman]

26. Yeah...it was a rhetorical question LOL

Ford = watch your back Obama

[dmr]

33. Got that right, and

watch your back Howard Dean.

[Samantha]

37. Just keep in mind

Harold Ford is a politician from Tennessee. Something tells me Tennessee will overwhelmingly vote for McCain. If Harold Ford does not give some lip service to the candidate his state will undoubtedly overwhelmingly support, he can kiss his political future in that state goodbye.

Other than that, I agree with everything else on this thread about Harold Ford. He's become a typical DLC'er. He knew Hillary Clinton had this in the bag, and so he has openly promoted her best interests, thinking all the time he was cementing his political future. It is so interesting to observe him changing positions and moving toward Obama.

Oh well, it is politics....

[Windy]

13. I think Harold Ford is a bit jealous... someone had to say it. n/t

[Ichingcarpenter]

14. DLC

Don't trust him, he leads the DLC right now

[Exilednight]

18. He's on his own side. n/t

[jenmito]

21. "A VERY powerful speech." "I hope Barack is listening..."

Jeez.

[KaptBunnyPants]

27. If it were up to Carville, that joke would be the head of the DNC.

Thank God he's on CNN, where he can't do serious harm.

[Coexist]

31. did he really? I has switched to CNN, they cut from McGrumpy sooner

[aaronbees]

35. Not my side.

Total tool.

[MarjorieG]

36. McCain often sounds worse. Harold is an Obama friend.

[GoesTo11]

11. The annoying speaker factor will work against McCain

I've noticed that people who have an annoying voice tend to lose just because no one wants to have to hear that for four years. My theory is that if Dukakis had Reagan's voice, he would be president now.

[jazzjunkysue]

15. Even Karl Rove just said on FUX news that the delivery was pathetic.

I wonder who in the GOP is going to go through the motions for the next 6 months?

[BuyingThyme]

16. He made everybody else in the room uncomfortable.

There's going to be a lot of that. They're going to have to lower the bar for Granpa at every turn.

[Kerrytravelers]

19. I listened to some of that speech, and the only thing I could think was:

Kill. Me. Now.


McCain won't know what hit him come November.

[jenmito]

23. He sucked. He smiled at the wrong times. He was choppy. His audience

looked stale. Obama's going to run circles around him.

[Pisces]

24. Harold Ford is an embarassment to democrats!!

[jenmito]

28. A few days ago Toobin reminded viewers that it's not unusual for the loser in a primary to win the

last states-to "finish strong."

[neverforget]

29. Thank God the networks interrupted that awful speech.

[janet118]

32. That speech was beyond bad. . . It totally creeped me out

All I could think of was one of those pervert priests trying to convince a group of altar boys to come into the back room with him. Super smarmy and accompanied by that weird smile. EEEW!!! He made Nixon look like an Eagle Scout.
