damn, dylan...how you gonna keep guests, boy?

[islandmkl]

ratigan just rolled tom donohue (?), chamber of commerce spokesperson, about chamber opposing health reform...

(loosely from memory):
tom: how am i supposed to answer a question when after 4 words i hear 6 more words from you?

ratigan: that's what you hear when you talk nonsense...

tom: do you have another question?

ratigan: no, i think we are finished...thank you, (beat it)

1. lol!

donohue is a putz

[Subdivisions]

2. That guy was appallled that he was being challenged. Excellent work, Dylan! n/t

[CherokeeDem]

5. Appalled is correct....

the COC guy was at Dylan's insolence in questioning him in that manner and so was I, the this guy's "how dare you speak to me that way" attitud. The COC guy didn't want intelligent, complicated questions because that would mean he would have to deviate from his prepared answers and actually answer the questions. Dylan is kicking some serious you know what and it is freshing.

3. I hope the discourse gets elevated

Because right now, it's a quick burst of sound bite talking points, which may be factual or bullshit, and the host nodding genially, even when the bullshit is so patent, you wonder if the host has had a lobotomy. I'd like to see guests challenged when they talk nonsense.

4. I hope Ratigan keeps ratching it up...too many guests are allowed to talk nonsense without being

called out...

[kentuck]

6. He ran off the head of the National Chamber of Commerce? !!!

Wow! How much longer does he have at MSNBC??

[JitterbugPerfume]

7. He did the same thing to Barney Frank

Dylan needs to cool his jets or no one will want to go on his show. He can be really rude.
