1. Eh, I don't think enough people watch him to make him a factor--now
he's going to get a swollen head.

4. Still, he is symptomatic of the media - blogospgere included
Sexism was so prevalent everywhere - Tweety just embodies it (we know he has that special personal vendetta with the Clintons too)

2. I was shocked by how rough he was on her during an interview I heard
yesterday. Would he ever be that dis-respectful talking to Laura Bush?

5. Or any other woman with the last name not Clinton? Tweety is a pig - and a
mentally ill one at that.

7. Not only Tweety, but
most all other *pundits* on all the news channels jumped aboard the Pile On Weak and Unfit-to-Lead Teary-Eyed Hillary garbage wagon. And that includes you too, Keith, and Keith if you're reading this you share blame as well for your Hillary rant Monday night. Whether or not blatant sexism and double-standarding was intended by any of the so-called commentators, that is exactly how it came across. Trying to turn Hillary's brief *moment* into the Dean Scream or the Kerry Joke, showing the clip over and over ad nauseum -- ad nauseum cubed and ad infinitum and adding your *clever* comments. Sealing the deal by showing the Iron My Shirt sign (supposedly a prank by a local radio station).

And in NH women who were planning to vote with their heart, for Obama or Edwards, voted with their heart for Hillary. And then there was her amazing campaign stops on Saturday and Sunday, where she took questions from the audience for a couple of hours each day and wowed 'em with deep knowledge and grasp of the complex crises we face -- any of which could do us in for good in a blink. Betcha that was a deal-sealer too. Betcha a lot of people changed their minds Monday night. Or Tuesday before they went to the polls, but after they turned on the TV or saw the newspaper and the Hillary hate was still in progress. Or maybe when they got into the voting booth, yes, even at late as that. Maybe a lot of them.

You *pundits* all collaborated to hand New Hampshire to Hillary, and now you blowhards won't admit it! Instead it's racism (that is absolute BS) or people lying (they lie in political polls everywhere for all sorts of reasons and often it is just to get the pollster to leave them alone and stop phoning all day long asking you if you've decided who to vote for yet).

Last night after Hillary's win, the *commentators* (mostly the males) were all over the table with no clue as to why. The most ridiculous statement came from Ted Koppel, who gave two reasons, one of which was *well, people have short attention spans.* A couple of the women pundits got it right.

Racism? Give me a break. Election fraud? Nah. Human nature.

6. write to [email protected] and tell corporatist pig Chris that
he must stop trying to throw the race to his rePIG friends. This pig derailed Howard Dean, has stomped on Edwards since day one and recently delagated Edwards to not really existing, and hates Hill.
He is a republican operative, corporatist, and anti-working class. Write to this pig and tell him to stop trying to destroy the democrates.

8. I've been telling a family member for years that I didn't want Hillary
as president. I admired her intelligence and wanted her to continue on as a good to great Senator, but I was tired of the divisiveness and the anger on both sides. I haven't been sure about Obama, but I haven't disliked him except for something I won't go into now. It's not a big deal. Anyway, after watching MSNBC, which is usually my channel of choice and I watch it a lot, after watching what they did to Hillary Clinton in the past several days since Iowa, I've been catapulted over to the Hillary side. If I had lived in New Hampshire I would have voted Hillary in a Heartbeat! I don't see a lot of difference between Obama and Hillary other than the fact that she has a lot more of the "grind" experience. Sadly, I don't see a truly progressive candidate getting the nomination or the election.

The boys at MSNBC acted like idiots. Village idiots. And aren't we tired of that kind of thing by now? I can't believe how let down I am by Keith Olbermann. Unless they all know that Hillary is the anti-christ and they have to some how save us all from this evil woman, I am still blown away by their obvious hatred for this hard working, not perfect, but definitely presidential material woman. I know she doesn't care for the media because they have burned her so many times. NOW, after winning in New Hampshire, maybe she will be more open to the media and they more open to her. Not MSNBC, though. I don't see that happening.

Rachel...try and get a job somewhere else! Please. You're working with a bunch of crazy old men and we can see the strain on your face!!
