Heads Up: Olbermann is going to have Turley on to discuss Sotomayor

[jenmito]

For anyone who does NOT want to see his (Turley's) face anymore today!

[Cha]

1. Good..I hope KO

gives him what for!

[jenmito]

2. We'll see. HOPEFULLY he WILL...

but I'm afraid he'll just let Turley talk and won't challenge him.

[gkhouston]

8. Remind me why Dana Milbank isn't on Countdown anymore...

I'm think Turley could be on thin ice.

[Thrill]

3. No Keith for me tonight.

.

[jenmito]

5. That's why I put out the warning..

I'LL watch it and see if Keith challenges him.

[jenmito]

4. Olbermann is praising Sotomayor, even mentioning the RW talking point about how she's not

that smart. We already know Turley feels she's not smart enough. I hope Keith holds his ground.

[Spazito]

6. Turley will say she is smart but that's somehow different from having...

'intellectual depth' and then will go on, as he usually does in his wordy way, to try and defend his outrageous claim. He is so predictable, imo.

[jenmito]

7. If he does,

hopefully Keith will challenge him.

[jenmito]

18. Exactly right!!!

You called it! Then he went on to say she may very well "find her stride" or something to soften his criticism.

[uponit7771]

20. spot on!!

[uponit7771]

9. He's coming on next, I think he'll punk out of the positions on her he took earlier...

...he'll have to have some minerals to say those things in front of KeiF nem

[vaberella]

10. I know...it's killing me. n/t

[Drunken Irishman]

11. Can't watch that douche (Turley, ot Olbermann).

[O is 44]

12. Thanks for the heads up...

my mute button is ready.

[HopeOverFear]

13. Lord help me I'm screaming at the television

[uponit7771]

14. Turly genuine objection = "..she's had no outstanding opinions..." like Scalia's opinions are a work

...of art.

He sounds like he's punking out of his earlier positions

WTF is this issue with "temperament"

[Raine1967]

17. He couched it differently

HE is afraid of KO I think.
I still hear that dogwhistle...

[vaberella]

22. I had the feeling KO was waiting for him to say something stupid..

KO had a smirk on his face when he mentioned..."weak arguments" if you noticed.

[uponit7771]

25. I saw the look on his fce at the end of the segment, he look like he had to hold his opinions ...

...back in order not to be challenged.

Another Chuck Todd type IMHO, someone who says what the crowd wants instead of the truth...someone who wants to be like more than respected.

[HopeOverFear]

15. OH NOW THIS MOTHERFUCKER'S TRYING TO BACKTRACK

it's too late

[uponit7771]

19. Yeap, you see that look at the end of the segment? Like, "damn, I can't say what a really want to"

[uponit7771]

16. "she's quite bright"....yeah, he's punkin out now...

...wimping out in front of folks

[jenmito]

23. What a phony! He heard what Keith said in the first segment and didn't want to

alienate himself fron him. If he had, he wouldn't be allowed on the show anymore (at least in his mind). Punk.

[chimpymustgo]

26. Turley pretty much said what he said earlier today about Sotomayer. He calls 'em like he sees 'em.

[uponit7771]

29. Thurgood Marshal comment was necessary? It made it sound l ike he had a grudge and

...wasn't being objective when it came to her.

Also, he complimented Scalia but had some criticisms for Marshal and Sotomayor...that in and of itself placed him on the overtly critical side of the spectrum

[JayMusgrove]

30. Turley wound up as a commentator on TV because..............

he's not very bright in legal intellectual circles and needs to make a million or two before retiring.

He's about as honest as a hooker on 7th avenue. ANYTHING for a buck.

[vaberella]

33. Hooker on 7th ave...

I love it. :rofl:

[O is 44]

37. Ha, too funny....

I love your assessment, that's him in a nutshell!

[Occam Bandage]

38. I do declare, there were times I was so lonesome that I watched him on the air,

doo doo doo, doo doo doo, doo doo doo.

[jenmito]

32. Not really. He almost seemed to SUPPORT her. He was much less critical of her

tonight and stressed positive traits. He must've listened to Keith's first segment and heard that Keith's aware of the RW talking points.

[vaberella]

34. I got that...but he already sealed his position and right now he's just hiding his true colors. n/t

[jenmito]

36. Yup. He may have changed his position on Keith's show so he gets called

back to his show, but we saw him give his REAL opinion earlier and won't be fooled by his "nuanced" position.

[PopSixSquish]

21. Wow - He's Back Pedling as Fast as His Little Feet Will Carry Him

Somebody got taken to the woodshed and told what's what...

[vaberella]

24. Totally...I noticed that and posted it. Man. n/t

[EquallyExhausted]

27. it seems someone has checked his email or something since his earlier comments

:eyes:

[jenmito]

35. AND it seems like he heard Keith's first segment and didn't want to be

called on the RW talking points.

[Number23]

28. Times like this that I am glad that MSNBC does not play in Australia

I am FURIOUS that this prick would demean the history and legacy of Thurgood Marshall. Absolutely FURIOUS.

[Karenina]

31. +1

[firedupdem]

39. +2 Fuck Turley n/t
