Tom Reynolds was a "no show" on "This Week" - what did they

[Thickasabrick]

do? I read this over at C&L. Who did they have on? Did anybody watch?

1. They announced

that he called in sick with flu like symptoms.

Here's what you need to do Tom. Tkae two aspirin, drink plenty of fluids and resign in the morning.

12. "I've just learned about his illness. Let's hope it's nothing trivial."

13. Bwwahahahahahahah

2. they had Adam Putnam (R-Fl) and Rahm Emanuel (D-IL)

Rahm came through as an effective heavy hitter, said that the Repugs sat on what they knew
for years about Foley, used the "a principal would be fired over this." Putnam frantically
pedalling for dry land; brought up Clinton and tried to smear Stephenanopoulos with it,
which he did not appreciate, he replied that he had left Clinton's administration in 96,
that's one of the few times that I ever hear him reply during an interview.

Putnam also said they fired Foley within hours of the news of "explicit e-mails." They never fired him, he resigned after ABC broke the news. He tried to scare audience with the specter of the Dems including Conyers & Impeachment, Rahm Emanuel said that the repubulicans campaign on fear which I thought was a good comeback.

5. Excellent! Sorry I missed. The guy was an idiot to go after

George S. He is one of my favorite talking heads - behind Keith of course. Thanks for the update!

11. I think the term he said was both of your old bosses

were guilty of sexual misdeeds and nothing was done about it. You can always rely on
Republicans to shoot off their mouths w/o looking where they are aiming. Looking back
I think that remark was a cheap shot coming from a member of Congress.

14. Dems need to take the point about fear one more step.

Why do Republicans campaign on fear? Because it makes people think that they have to accept less, because, if they don't they die. But politicians who campaign on fear don't tell voters that while they're accepting less, a few people who have a lot get much more -- which is the real reason Republicans campaign on fear. Fear helps republicans reallocate benefits and burdens of society. Most people get much less while a few people get much more.

16. you are right live with less, less benefits, less healthcare

and less social services and we want your children to fight for oil so we can charge you
more to heat your homes and drive your cars, less is more for us (Fatcat elite).

15. Rahm was brilliant. In fact, this was probably the best debate

so far as to familiarizing the American people with the Dem plan for change. I recommend everyone watch this video:

3. He is a no show because his poll numbers have him down by 9 points

He was down by 11 but his ad gave him a two point bounce

[aquart]

4. 15 now.

7. A dead cat bounce?

[Bucky]

9. Don't laugh. That's probably Frist's 2008 strategy

[malaise]

6. They wouldn't allow him to carry the

kids to prevent tough questions.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

8. He couldn't find enough toddlers to sit on his lap in time for interview:

10. Oh, toddlers love sitting in laps! Probably those dang parents said "no"

17. Thanks for the update...

I only had one eye on the tv this morning but was wondering what happened to Reynolds...
