It’s a love fest!
6:40 “It’s like a bunch of teenagers at a Bay City rollers concert.” That line dates Joe, and my understanding of it dates me.
6:46 It seems to be all about how wonderful it is that the “Black” Obama family is in there.
6:50 Other than the Limbaugh Kidney line they see nothing much, they don’t read Nikki Finke
6:52 Just to put it in context:
…not since Don Imus roughed up Bill Clinton at the annual event has a comedian been so mean-spirited…But, unlike Imus or Colbert, Wanda Sykes didn’t lay a glove on the sitting president Barack Obama. Instead, she reserved her barbs for people who weren’t there: Dubya, John McCain, Dick Cheney, Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity… But even watching the WHCA dinner on television, viewers saw the room grew very quiet and then erupt as Sykes seemed to cross the line with what was more harsh partisanship than funny comedy. At one point, the C-SPAN cameras caught Fox News commentator Glenn Beck sitting stone-faced after Sykes had singled out one conservative after another for her insults. Even Obama seemed to look uncomfortable at times.
The Tim Geithner line was classic.
6:55 a.m. The sports news was all good. Celtics, Bruins and Red Sox. Big Baby gets a line.
6:58 a.m. The swine flu line is pretty good, so is the Air Force one line. Although Althouse has a point.
7:00 a.m. The person of color joke was an inside one but Donny is right he could have said the cat sat on the mat and the media would have loved him.
7:07 a.m. I already commented on the fact that stopping in ’91 was a huge mistake. Joe in on record disagreeing.
7:09 a.m. Dick Cheney believes what he is saying says Joe. BBC’s finest thinks it is setting them up if they fail.
7:11 a.m. When it comes to getting info from these guys, we’re out of business.
7:14 a.m. Oh joy another comission.
7:18 a.m. To paraphrase Glenn Reynolds, Wanda; Rush Craps a whole lot bigger than you.
7:20 a.m. Of course it won’t be trouble for them, with this media? She could have said cut off all their heads and they would have applauded.
7:26 a.m. The media is a difficult crowd for Barak Obama? Tim Russert would have never been able to say that line with a straight face David.
7:31 a.m. He only won by 7 points. That should be said every time he is mentioned.
7:33 a.m. This is another issue (war on terror) where we in the media have a blind spot
7:48 a.m. was out of the room for matthews that’s life
8:04 a.m Yeah all those different people where there but they didn’t vote for him when they had the chance.
8:11 a.m. Chris Matthews actually hits the nail on the head with his point. If you are in a situation where life and death is on the line you do what you have to do, but once you change the rule book the line will move.
8:12 a.m. There is not good faith and the administration is beating up on the last one over and over again.
8:14 a.m. WWCD in the Cuban missle crisis?
8:16 a.m. Al Hunt defending Dick Cheney, and he believes that he is acting in what he thinks was right.
8:18 a.m. Donny: “If this was Sept 12th they would be calling for steak knifes.” (Maria is Italian, I suspect that she has a very tough line quietly, at least that’s what I see in her eyes)
8:24 a.m. Hey Cheney is was more loyal to Powel than Powel was to McCain.
8:28 a.m. 13th century my a**.
8:30 a.m. Maria gets it. She is willing actually to challenge this administration.
8:37 a.m. The money is slow coming out. She says confusion and poor (not mis) management. I think it is by design.
8:46 a.m. Maria is asking the question and making the statements that people are not saying.
8:48 a.m. The congressman job for life business. Maria shoots them down. I LIKE this woman.
8:54 a.m. Hollywood certainly had a good time.
8:58 a.m. Mika seem the type that could cook.
