I agree, I'm just wondering where exactly the boundaries are, Which is why I didn't comment on her comment

@J2K4 Apart from it being a tired old method of avoiding answering the question actually asked I fail to see any connection.

Would you rather talk about Chris Matthew's or Keith Olbermann's lack of bias.

BTW-

Does young Megan have her own show, or host political conventions.

No?

I Didn't think so. ;)

Okay-

To answer your question, no, I think if you want to rip her, you should go ahead and rip her; I've said it before - if you go out and get your puss on TV advocating your husband/father/what-have-you, you ought to be ready for what comes after.

Now, hows about you answer my question, which I have emboldened for you.

BTW-

I hope you'll pardon my saying so, but relying on others to define the boundaries of your commentary is kind of chickenshit, but, as I have just given you carte blanche, please (please) fire away. :whistling

It's obvious you would rather talk about it so go ahead, I still don't see the connection or why it's important, I've already given you my assessment of the two in question.

Perhaps fox could take a leaf

As for boundaries it's a legitimate question considering we are stepping over the mark if we ask anything about Palin.

You claimed Matthews was straight-arrow, middle of the road.

Apparently Mssrs. Williams and Brokaw disagree, which opinions certainly trump your own; I merely offered you a chance to reassess, but you seem ideologically constrained.

No matter.

Who said that?

Ask whatever you like, advance whatever views you have.

Odd, though, you are more likely to comment about Palin than Matthews, wouldn't you say.

Apart from the internal workings of nbc how do their opinion trump mine?

Well one is a political news commentator and the other is RUNNING FOR THE POSITION OF VICE PRESIDENT AND WOULD BE ONE HEARTBEAT AWAY FROM BEING PRESIDENT OF THE USA. and we know little about her.

So tell me, where should my priorities be?

It appears you think Mathews more of an issue

Because, as liberals. they have asserted Matthews is too liberal for their taste, whereas you (who reject categorization) cannot manage to reach the same conclusion, having already vouched him as mainstream.

That's how.

And it appears you do not, although you and Matthews are of similar mind where Palin is concerned.










This is much too easy. :whistling

Okay, just so that I have no false impressions here-

You think it's more important to discuss a political commentator than the potential VP?

I thought you would have trashed the pick, quite honestly....unless you pick my first reason.

edit: Well I just read most of this thread and I guess I gave you too much credit. As always....the hive mind is ruling. Clocker has you handled though. With the glut of material out there, it's too easy.

As a side note: I must say with this Sarah Palin pick, it is like some Twilight Zone shit...first the pick itself, then hearing all these Republican party goers talk as if it's great for the country. It's like everyone at the RNC was told what to say in advance and actually believe it.

---

Then there's no need to reply to you, given you and clocker are of the "hive" mind.

Insofar as there are (as always) more of you than there are of me, the more effective application of the word hive would be in reference to you and your ilk.

No original thoughts for you, eh? :whistling

I actually had John McCain as my pick until the Palin announcement. My thoughts were that McCain has been spouting off at the mouth with his alignment with Bush to appease folks like yourself and then once in office he'd actually be "sensible".

This Palin pick was pure pandering to disgruntled Hilary supporters and to the Republican base....a base that never really liked McCain in the first place.

Now McCain will have a person that wouldn't have an ass chance in hell of being President through an electorate, succeeding him if he falls terribly ill or....dead.

A McCain pick is now easily off the table. Then again, a pick of Romney or Giuliani pick would've sucked just as much but for different reasons. I guess I was looking for a surprise of different proportions and not of epically stupid proportions.

It's a smart pick only in the that people are epically stupid. People that pick McCain for the "OMGSHE'Z UHH WOMIN!!11!1" are fucking stupid. She's low on sensibility and high on ability to deliver zingers in speeches. It's damn good entertainment though.

Cries of sexism from the McCain camp actually go against Palin's own talk of whiney women.

A VP pick is supposed to be someone that can lead the country if the President can't. Wtf advice will she have for McCain about Iraq? Iran? Russia....oh that's right, she's an expert cuz she's up there next to it.

I think what MSNBC did was excellent, actually.

That would be like having Bill O'Reilly or Rush Limbaugh serving as anchor although Olberman and Mathews aren't that bad.

I'll discuss either or both.

Seems you are determined to be selective; you had no trouble talking up Matthews a short while back, but the going has gotten a bit rougher on that front, precluding you from further comment.

Apparently multitasking is beyond you. :whistling
