Damn...Chris Matthews was really rough on Howard Dean.

[Auntie Bush]

If fact...he was darn right hostile.

[pissedoffprogressive]

He is an ass!!!!!

:thumbsdown:

[survivor999]

12. He's a bastard.

[thepurpose]

1. He was now watch him kiss all over Frist.

[graywarrior]

2. Saw that. Wanted to slap the shit out of him.

God I hate him.

[rosesaylavee]

4. Ditto. He's an asshat of the first water. n/t

[oldtime dfl_er]

3. Howard Dean can handle it, though

Tweety had to shout him off the air, and Tweety looked like an asshole.

[TheDonkey]

5. It was disgusting. Tweety was acting like some punk thug

would he be shouting down Bush like that about HIS war?

Trying to have Dean tell him the exact number of days it would take to withdrawl and I'm sure he'd like to know
which US war ships would pick them up and what the in-flight meals would be.

Bring back KO!

[still_one]

21. what do you mean acting?

That is what he has been for years

[liberal N proud]

6. Then he kisses Frist's ass!

[Beartracks]

26. Well, that's how this White House works...

...with the media: Kiss our ass, or you don't get "access."

[FujiZ1]

7. The hell are you talking about.

They were great questions. Would he give them to a Republican? No, but they were still excellent questions.

[Auntie Bush]

13. True, but he didn't have to be hostile in his questioning.

I never heard him speak so belligerently to anyone...without a tiny bit of a smile or smirk. One can ask tough questions without being out and out hostile. I wish Keith could have kicked him you know where under the table. He deserved it!

[FujiZ1]

17. He had the right to.

Any journalist should be that tough on politicians. As I said before, of course he won't be that way with Republicans. But he's right, 100 million Americans want to know what the fuck you're going to do if you get majorities.

And I'd be pissed off to, he completly boinked Dean on the Iraq issue when he asked if there should be another U.S. casualty in a war Dean opposed in the first place. Dean skirted the damn thing, and then got all confused. That's Dean's fault for pussy footing, not Matthews.

[Orangepeel]

25. yes, he *should* be that way with everyone. But he's not.

Dean did an excellent job, however.

[Cha]

27. matthews is a fucking scum bag and

Dean is the intelligent mastermind behind the 50 state strategy. Got a problem with that?

[Anaxamander]

18. Did you see his interview with

Mallakin? He was much tougher on her.

[madfloridian]

23. Don't compare the respect that should go to Dean and Malkin.

Please, I hope you don't mean that.

Malkin was even banned from You Tube for being obnoxious. Dean is chairman of the party, a former governor, doctor, and state legislator.

Commentators should treat him with at least the respect they give Carville and nosepicker Begala.

[graywarrior]

15. We have a long time hatefest toward Tweety

[MADem]

8. Howard had no problem handling that little fleckspittle. Tweety had better watch his ass.

There will come a day when those chickens come home to roost, and when they do, he'll be covered in chickenshit.

[silverojo]

11. The sky is BLACK

BLACK with chickens coming home to roost!

[lebkuchen]

9. Too bad Tweety didn't use his editorial license on Bush before shock/awe

Would have saved lives.

[shoopnyc]

10. Can we call Tweety fat bastard?

[karynnj]

14. Dean was way too happy to look like he cared

He basicly kept to his point and seemed to dismiss Matthews

[SoFlaJet]

19. what's YOUR policy going to be?

look, it comes down to this;either you want it to be "full speed ahead" or do you want it at least discussed-which is the dems way

[patricia92243]

16. Boy! Do I ever agree. He expected Dean to make policy right there on the air. I notice as time go

goes by that Tweety gets more and more snippy. He was kinda short with Frist - not as bad as with Dean - but still noticeably fussy.

[Beartracks]

30. That bugs me when reporters (or whoever)

ask for policy solutions from candidates or their representatives, especially when said person is in the minority Party. WTF - they can't make policy, and moreover they don't need to. As the ones NOT holding the reins of power, it's not their job to make policy. That line of questioning is often only designed to generate headlines and/or provide contrary quotes later on down the road should the candidate or party get in power and the "proposed policy" doesn't in fact happen.

Bear in mind, of course, this is annoying no matter which party is in and which is out...

[gordontron]

20. yeah complete ass nt

[madfloridian]

22. Dean at the end said we should NOT have been in Iraq...

and we need to figure how to get out.

[Cha]

29. YAY!

:hi:

[madfloridian]

24. Well, Dean gets interviewed by Chris again at 11:15 tonight.

Then 11:30 on CNN

And about 12:05 with Larry King.

He does look happy, but he should be treated with more respect than he is by the commentators. All of our Democrats should.

[liberal N proud]

28. Now they are making it a mandate that the Democrats have to fix all the fucking problems the repukes

have created over the last 6 years
FUCK YOU MSNBC

[Auntie Bush]

35. According to Matthew's recent comment...he plans on grilling

Dean again. He's going to make Dean answer his questions. Good Luck!

[madfloridian]

37. Dean is on with Chris again at 11:15..unfortunately.

Chris is just rude tonight.

[Hans Delbrook]

31. Like anyone should be surprised?????????????

We should know the stripes of the rethuglican by now.

[hippiechick]

32. yeah and now he's demanding the Dems have a Iraq plan - TODAY

:wtf: ???? Shut Up, Matthews. He's demanding shit of the Dems - who aren't even in control yet, that he's not demanded of the Cabal, who's had the steering wheel for 6 years.


:mad:

[madfloridian]

33. In every interview these 2 days...Dean said we need to respect other side.

Yet the media is overwhelmingly pushy and rude to him.

http://journals.democraticunderground.com/madfloridian/549

"BLITZER: You know, there's going to be a lot of demoralized Democrats out there. They can taste victory, certainly in the House, almost in the Senate. It's going to be much more difficult in the Senate, as you well know. There's going to be a lot of demoralized, depressed Democrats out there if you don't win.

DEAN: Well, maybe so. But I would hope that that wouldn't happen, because this is a long-term struggle to take back this country so that we can be the great moral leader of the world once again We're going to do things a lot differently than we have in the past, should we prevail, should the voters restore Democrats to power.

The first thing we're going to do is avoid the polarization that the president has used to govern for the last six years. We're going to welcome everybody. We're going to respectfully talk to the people who don't agree with us, because they probably have some good ideas about how to run-America, as well. We're going to respect people's beliefs in their families.

We want to heal America and yes, there will be a lot of partisanship, because the Republicans have basically divided this country bitterly in the last six years.

We need -- if you want to make America work, we've got to be in it together."

[napi21]

34. Howard handled it very well. He's gotten very good at dealing with the media crap since he ran his

campaign. Don't you worry about Howard, if push comes to shove...oops...bye Tweety!

[Jo March]

36. Dean didn't back down

I hope someone posts a link to Dean's comments because Dean refused to back down one bit.

[rocktivity]

38. Was Olbermann there, and did he get to ask Dean anything?

Or is that a stupid question?
