Anyone else catch John Murtha on Countdown?

[lonestarnot]

Hey John, I gave those $500 a platers hell over the air conditioned decisions today too! WOODAMN WHOO ARE WE ON THE SAME TEAM OR WHAT! Damn I love that John Murtha.

[Roland99]

1. Missed that but did see the clip of Colbert nailing Westmoreland

where Westmoreland couldn't name the 10 Commandments despite sponsoring a bill to place them in courthouses!

2. Staying up for the late version because of irrigation.

[lonestarnot]

22. Guess I had my days mixed up, no irrigation but up so watching.

[mcctatas]

3. He was so straight forward and unafraid to call the Repukes on thier

bovine effluence...now we just need another 200 or so like him (hmmm...maybe that's why the repukes are against cloning:evilgrin: )

[lonestarnot]

5. No I think what we need are some damn street fighters.

[Erika]

8. Karl Rove in a street fight?

He'd hide and call in the Saudi princes to handle it.

Then see to it they once again get an invite to W's ranch.

[lonestarnot]

10. What goes up must come down.

[Blue_In_AK]

4. I really liked Murtha's comments

about Rove sitting on his fat behind in his air-conditioned office not having a clue about what's going on in Iraq. I love it when Dems take the gloves off - wish they'd do it more often.

[lonestarnot]

6. Start helping them take them off yourself. I have.

[Erika]

7. Murtha was great

He outlined the GOP as the wimps they are. They talk
big, because they have never done big.

[Yoda Yada]

9. Saw it. Murtha's a Democrat who is NOT afraid to speak up!

These were some of his main points:

"They (Republicans answer rhetorically instead of substantively." (They rely on slogans... INSTEAD of substantive debates and solutions.)

"'Cut and run' is a slogan....they don't have a clue..."

"'Stay the course' is a slogan. There is NO plan. Give us a plan."

"I'm debating the POLICY...not the person".

"If you disagree (with Bush) it would be treasonous NOT to speak out."
(He made reference to Teddy Roosevelt when explaining it was his duty to discuss and debate the war.)

A spineless Democrat, this man isn't. :woohoo: Go John Murtha! :woohoo:

[lonestarnot]

11. Thanks for recapping!

Yes indeedie Go John Murtha!

[Rosemary2205]

12. HELP!! I'm MSNBC deprived!!

I'll kiss anyone who puts it up on youtube in windows media format!

Twice.

13. My hero

Rep. Gohmert: Let me close by saying some have not had nice things to say about our colleague Mr. Murtha, and others wanting to pull out of Iraq quickly. I understand the faithful visitation that he does routinely. So i say thank god for his big heart. I say thank god for his compassion. Thank god for his visits to the wounded. Thank god for his ministering to grieving families. But thank god he was not here and prevailed after the bloodbaths at Normandy and in the Pacific or we would be here speaking Japanese or German. Thank you.

Rep. Murtha: Was the gentleman at any of those locations? Either at normandy or any of those locations?

Rep. Gohmert: You want to know which locations?

Rep. Murtha: Yeah. Normandy?

Rep. Murtha: I say were you there?

Rep. Gohmert: No, sir. I wasn't.

Rep. Murtha: Were you in Vietnam?

Rep. Gohmert: No, sir.

Rep. Murtha: Iraq?

Rep. Gohmert: No. I have been over there. I haven't been fighting.

Rep. Murtha: Boots on the ground?

Rep. Gohmert: I do admire the gentleman's compassion and all he has done for our wounded. He has done a great service that would be you, Mr. Murtha.

14. Gomer's Pile doesn't hold a candle to Murtha.

[DainBramaged]

16. Gomer may as well retire from the House now

He will forever be known as the asswipe Murtha took to school and the woodshed.:applause:

[lonestarnot]

18. He looked like a shit eating dog when Murtha got through work'n him.

[BrklynLiberal]

15. He was magnificent!!!!

[DainBramaged]

17. Murtha, Rove, Hastet, Bush, Delay in a dark alley

Who comes out?

[lonestarnot]

19. heh heh heh, but no shoulder shrug.

[BrklynLiberal]

20. Ikept thinking of Calvin Trillin calling all of the bush guys "SissyHawks"

Trillin is fantastic.
Here is another of his masterpieces:

Richard Perle: Whose Fault Is He?

Calvin Trillin

Consider kids who bullied Richard Perle--
Those kids who said Perle threw just like a girl,
Those kids who poked poor Perle to show how soft
A mamma's boy could be, those kids who oft-
Times pushed poor Richard down and could be heard
Addressing him as Sissy, Wimp or Nerd.
Those kids have got a lot to answer for,
'Cause Richard Perle now wants to start a war.
The message his demeanor gets across:
He'll show those playground bullies who's the boss.
He still looks soft, but when he writes or talks
There is no tougher dude among the hawks.
And he's got planes and ships and tanks and guns--
All manned, of course, by other people's sons.

[ribrepin]

21. I caught it--made me pround to belong to the same party as this man--NT

[lonestarnot]

23. I'm very likeminded here.
