AWESOME SAAAUUUUCCCEEEE

Don'tcha just love how Anthony Weiner doesn't give a damn about Congressional decorum?

The Kiss Of Death

So today Anthony Weiner basically said Harold Ford Jr would be another Joe Lieberman.....

If Gilibrand's people are smart they will start repeating this theme 1000 different ways.

Update: Come to think of it, maybe this should be the platform of many of the Dems in the mid terms. Instead of running against Bush or running against the GOP, maybe running against Lieberman is the answer...

Discredited Over And Over On National Tee Vee

How many times will it take for Betsy McCaughey to get PWNED before she is no longer accepted in polite company?

This double team by Dylan Ratigan (who doesn't even really know much about what he is talking about) and Congressman Anthony Weiner should at least lead her closer to that point.

Bartiromo Becomes Weiner's Latest Victim

Congressman Anthony Weiner revels in rhetorically smacking the stupid out of right wingers on health care reform. He prefaced this back and forth today by saying he had recently reduced Joe Scarborgh and I quote "to a quivering mass" when he debated him on health care, but evidently Maria Bartiromo wasn't paying attention. He so destroyed every one of her GOP talking points that after awhile it got embarrasing. Especially when she asked Weiner why he wasn't on Medicare.

Ezra Klein points out the painfully obvious.




I know he doesn't have a ton of seniority but if the Democrats had any kinds of brains they would make Weiner one of the point people on health care reform. He should be all over TV every single day pushing for a public plan in a way that all Americans can understand.

His Kung Fu Is Strong

Congressman Anthony Weiner walked onto the set of Fox & Friends to talk about health care reform and straight owned the joint. Rarely will you see even the best of Congressional Democrats so thoroughly smack down right wing talking points without even blinking an eye. If President Obama were smart, he would track Weiner down and ask him to help craft some speeches and some talking points for the rest of the Democratic caucus to use going forward. And that's real.

Can't Grill This Weiner

Chris Matthews was the consumate concern troll today trying to challenge Democratic Congressman Anthony Weiner over his support for the public option. The funny thing was how Weiner totally handled the guy and set him straight not allowing him to frame the story. Not only that he basically made Tweety look absurd at time by setting him straight on the facts.



One thing that pissed me off a little more than the rest of the condescending bullshit Matthews was spewing was how he ended the interview by saying something to the effect that they "have to" listen to all sides of the debate as if Congressman Weiner was some kind of fringe kook or some shit. Tweety doesn't even care enough about the policy of health care reform to even learn the nuts and bolts of it but he claims to want it to pass this time. If he could just realize that a public option is central to bringing down premiums enough for everybody to be able to afford them he might actually be an asset. But as long as he keeps just repeating beltway conventional wisdom, he is working against Democratic interests.
