great recap Colby.

Never, ever, ever, never put those people in the same room again.

MSNBC made complete asses of themselves last night.

So, what do you think the reaction will be if on January 3rd Boehner takes to the Speaker’s chair and starts shouting to the assembled crowd, “Let’s hear it for the power!” the way the last Speaker did when she was sworn in?

Eugene Robinson openly laughing when Conservatives were being interviewed was the lowest of the low.

Olbermann, Matthews and Maddow are as unprofessional as they come.

MSNBC caters to the extreme left, what else could they say, “We got our asses handed to us.”?

You’d have thought Boehner might have put his man pants on before this speech. Seriously, there are times it is permissible for a man to cry in public. His Mother becomes ill or dies. His first child is born. His team wins the BCS championship game. He “needs” to show a babe how sensitive he is. But, this was over the top.

OH!

With all the excitement going on, we almost forgot…

Barry, thank you for castrating the Democratic Party!

I was watching all three networks, CNN and Fox were both fair and balanced, professional, and MSNBC was unhinged, unprofessional and uncouth.

Let it go. You won. Be happy. Celebrate. Stop being so negative. Look to the future and stop complaining about petty things that occurred many years ago.

You know, just as important as not being a sore loser is being a graceful winner.

Sheesh.

Big_F-ing_Deal said:

It was, indeed, the most dreadful coverage I have ever seen. Matthews’ interview with Bachmann was ridiculous. Sure, she did appear to be in some sort of trance, and Bachmann is clearly the most insane woman in American politics, but the question involving investigations into patriotism and loyalty was absurd. There was no purpose to it. Late into the evening, O’Donnell and Matthews almost came to blows over Matthews endless babbling.

I do have to say, however, I thought all of the cable “news” coverage was truly dreadful. The sets were crowded. The graphics were so heavy and dense that it was a challenge to make anything out. There were far too many egos battling to babble. CNN had analysts and pundits crowded around two different tables with some dweeb repeatedly raising his handing and waving it about to get Cooper’s attention only to then offer us some of the most inane analysis I’ve ever heard. FOX “New’s” graphics were even more congested than the others and in the midst of important returns it would break away for endless, repetitive analysis from Turd Blossom or some other gasbag.

When the broadcast stations began airing, their coverage seemed to me to be vastly superior. Simpler sets. More focus. Less blabbering. More return-centric.

Don’t they have some adult in authority on the set who can say to these people, “Stop. You’re making fools of yourselves. You sound like petty, bitter, assholes. You are small people.”

And shouldn’t there be at least be a pretense of having a dissenting view on that set? How can any objective person not admit that Fox is far, far more of a news organization than that pathetic band of sycophants?

And best of all, the only thing they hate more than Republicans is each other. On set chemistry?

I couldn’t stand it, only for a couple of minutes and went back to Fox and CNN. They were really acting like a bunch of hyenas over at MSNBC…and that would be giving hyenas a bad name.

Juan Williams and Karl Rove got into some good debates over at Fox and CNN had some good political graphics.

Your comment attempts to defend a group of cable TV “anchors” (boy does that word apply) who truly behaved like children last night. There are no words to describe how pitiful it was. CNN and FOX lean left and right, but as always at least they don’t act like assholes. It’s hard to believe that anyone watches MSNBC, blind ideology or not, the “anchors” are ridiculously weak.

Sorry, I was deeply offended by that display from Pelosi. You have to remember that, a long time ago, I worked in the House of Representatives. My oldest daughter “sat” in the Speaker’s chair when she was 3 days old. I think of that room, and that dais, as sacred. And I thought that shouting “Let’s hear it for the power” was a step shy of defecating on the Speaker’s chair.

Was Keith Olbermann ever an innocent little child, or was he always this way?

Here’s what you say to see KO cry like a little biatch:

Jon Stewart

Donny Deutsch

David Schuster

When monkeys like Maddow, Olbermann, Matthews, Schultz, and O’Donnell, offend liberals like Jon Stewart, with their hate-filled rhetoric, we can only imagine how offensive they are to mainstream America. The more these idiots foam at the mouth, the lower Obama’s favorability ratings go. Keep up the good work MSNBC monkeys; you’re guaranteeing that Obama will be a one-termer. LOL. With friends like those…..

One thing I will say is that MSNBC never fails to keep the reputation that they have…AND IT AIN’T GOOD…lol

It was almost inconceivable to me that any Republican in South Carolina could have been struggling as she was through the night. She must be considered weak or baggage-laden in the state.

Megyn Kelly made sure that Joe Trippi had his say when Juan and Karl were arguing, who btw did an excellent job for the Democratic wins in California, which Megyn commended him on. Trippi was behind the Dem campaigns in California.

Megyn and Bret did an excellent job of being fair and balanced. MSNBC, you can learn something from them.

John Boehner vs. Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House……No contest! America will soon notice a sharp contrast as to what comes out of the mouth of our new Speaker of the House!

God bless America!

I was also critical of CNN and MSNBC. It was a truly dreadful night for cable “news”. To me it highlights the inherent problem in trying to mix news with entertainment. You end up with little news and no entertainment. The only bright spot I saw for MSNBC was O’Donnell. There were some flashes of good analysis by Maddow as well. But she fell well short of my expectations on the whole.

Very early this morning, I caught the graveyard shift at MSNBC, and it was much better than what I saw last night. A little bit later, “Morning Joe” came on, and it was a repeat of the same crap on last night.

But, let me qualify my remarks, I saw nothing, nothing on either CNN or FOX “News” which I felt was markedly better than MSNBC. I ended up knowing why cable “news” is a dying genre even in its birth.

I can’t wait. I will be coming back to Mediaite time and again all day long to see Tommy Christopher’s forthcoming commentary piece explaining why he was so deluded as to claim back in March that the passage of Obamacare would lead to Democrat gains in the House and Senate. I’m sure it’s going to be a long, introspective piece explaining that he now realizes that he is fundamentally out of touch with the American people. How, in the future, instead of taking his cues from the liberal echo chamber that is his drinking buddies, he’s going to try to listen to and understand people who actually have jobs, struggle to raise families, and pay taxes. I’m waiting with baited breath.

Fox had Brit Hume and Karl Rove representing the Right and Joe Trippi and Juan Williams representing the Left and each got their turn. Megyn and Bret were fair with their questions and let them respond.

Juan and Karl did get into it several times…lol But the debate was civil.

Keith, of all people, Mr. Sportscaster, when the losing team is out played in almost every way by the winning team, you do not trash the manager when he weeps after the game. The classy approach is to simply congratualate the winning team. For the sake of the country, it is now a sharing of power arrangement.

Anyone tuning into this cuckoo ‘s nest expecting fairness and graciousness is sadly mistaken .

agreed that mathews question to bachman was very childish, but his interview with marsha blackburn was spot on.
when she said now they would pass tax cuts and cut spending, mathews asked her how she planned to do that.
her response was to cut spending across the board. when asked what she would cut in military and entitlement spending, she had no answer, finally saying her cuts would be to discretionary spending.
after four or five tries, she finally talked about how she had a budget class when in her state senate.
it was a little funny when ko said she didn’t say if she was the teacher or student in those budget classes.

We need Boener and Obama playing golf together.

That’s a term in my political and social correctness I never use. It strikes me that in using it, we lump all Hispanics together. Cubans and Cuban-Americans tend to be far more Anglicized than Hondurans who, in turn, tend to be far more Anglicized than Mexicans and Mexican-Americans who, in turn tend to be far less Anglicized than Argentinians. We tend to turn Hispanics into a monolithic ethnic and cultural group, when they are anything but that.

The old guard democrats controlled congress, and Obama was an outsider. Now both parties are on the hook to get something done. Or not done. Obama is powerless now on domestic matters. That’s good, because Obama was elected to bring peace to the world and that should now get his primary attention.

No he’s not powerless, because he controls the fate of virtually every bill that either party produces.

I’d say “in the tank” pretty much sums it up.

In Florida calling a Cuban-American a ‘coconut’ is a racist term. Cubans are either Spanish, Afro-Cuban or mixed. Mexican-Americans, which I am one, are mostly Native American with degrees of Spanish blood. Puerto Ricans are similar to Cubans, but with less Spanish blood. Central Americans are more like Mexican-Americans, but come from different tribes. Argentinians are more European; Spanish, Italian and other.

Actually Latinos are not monolithic. Cuban-Americans are more Conservative, Mexican-Americans are socially Conservative and will vote Republican, and Puerto Ricans tend to be more Liberal according to most polls.

Puerto Ricans and many Mexican-Americans are against Illegal Immigration. A recent poll came out saying that many Latinos are against Illegal Immigration, because Illegals compete with low paying jobs with many poor people.

We tried to keep it “fair and balanced” last night so we channel surfed between CNN, Fox and MSNBC for all the return information. It was mutually agreed upon in this household that whenever we were watching MSNBC we were witnessing the biggest train wreck ever…….yes, we went through all the stages of grief on this one! It ended with “acceptance” that they were beyond embarrassing to watch & listen to. Can you even imagine what it must be like to work at MSNBC?

No and it’s amazing to normal people. Normal people look at MSNBC (and so many other liberal controlled operations) and scratch their heads.

The whole of their form of liberalism is a mental disorder. We (as in people on the right) can’t fathom their behavior.

There is no other explanation other than they have a mental disorder. A team of psychiatrists should be in there working on them.

I know you are a blind partisan, but if you can honestly try to say that the MSNBC coverage was equal to that of CNN and FOX, there is no hope for you at all. Even folks like BFD, a self professed liberal on this site, can admit how pathetic the behavior of the buffoons on MSNBC was. They acted like little children who had their toys taken away from them. I’m talking about the “anchors.” And you bring up sets and graphics. C’mon.

Honestly, I didn’t think MSNBC anchors bashing was that bad or over the top (maybe Olby), It’s MSNBC’s M.O. That’s their niche in the cable news marketplace. They will feed ‘red meat’ to their viewers. That’s is where they think and debate from.

I’ve heard Beck and Hannity say just as ‘bashing’ things about Speaker Pelosi.

It’s a bit different because it was MSNBC opinion anchors covering election results/speeches in somewhat wobbly opinion mode. I thought that was not the best for MSNBC to have covered. I did not watch much of MSNBC coverage, so I’m not certain they had consistent MSNBC “hard news” anchors participating heavily in the coverage

Aside from the far to biased panel , I find Rachel’s point relevant. Doesn’t the American voters seem to have very short term memory and by and large very superficial in our voting. The weeping is , odd, if he does do it often, but more importantly are his votes. He encourages people to vote for TARP and stimulus funds and then as soon as the public sentiment turns against it he’s suddenly a Tea Party supporter?

That may make him a smart politician but does it make him someone who really works to make things better for average working Americans?

In Virginia Tom Perriello was defeated. The thing I respected about Tom is that he talked in detail about his votes and defended his thoughts and principles straight up, with little political bullshit. He won in a mainly republican district so his defeat isn’t that surprising but I hope that as voters we can value honesty and integrity rather than just accepting whatever platitudes we are being fed. I would have been pleased to see Harry Reid replaced with a decent credible candidate, but Angle wasn’t one of those IMO. It isn’t really enough to say, we want somebody else, but I suppose it’s a start.

Honestly, I didn’t think MSNBC anchors bashing was that bad or over the top (maybe Olby), It’s MSNBC’s M.O. That’s their niche in the cable news marketplace. They will feed ‘red meat’ to their viewers. That’s is where they think and debate from. I’ve heard Beck and Hannity say just as ‘bashing’ things about Speaker Pelosi.

As another poster noted, FOX did not have Beck or Hannnity on their coverage last night. Even O’ Reilly was on for only a couple of minutes very early in the evening. The point is that FOX ( and to a lesser extent, CNN) had analysts from both sides of the aisle openly debating the night’s results. MSNBC had their usual lineup of all liberal clowns in their usual echo chamber, acting in their typical petulant, sore-loser manner.

That or the Democrats did such a poor job with their policy decisions and how they decided to push things through congress. This after the big 2008 results and promises of transparency and bipartisanship. People did no appreciate the Democratic candidates campaigning on a moderate platform last election and then pushing very liberal agendas through. Couple that with sound bytes like the Nancy Pelosi “pass the healthcare so you can see what is in it” it is no wonder they lost.

Not because people are superficial, but because they were lied to and really dont care for the direction the country would have continued on if they kept more of the same.

Fox was meat and potatoes last night with their information. That is all you need on an election night. Nothing fancy just give the results and backgrounds of the election races.

Dude, that’s your entire fucking life. Find a shrink, stat.

You got to admit, this is a great line: “he is famous for having wept openly and almost like ferociously on the floor of the house while begging Republicans to vote for T.A.R.P., to vote for the bailout,” adding “and he is now out there building his speakership in part on demonizing what he begged people to vote for…he is a weeper.”

Come on, you won, have a sense of humor.

Agreed. That was my main point of contention with MSNBC’s coverage. MSNBC opinion anchors covering I thought that was not the best for MSNBC to have covered this way. Since they did, I would expect MSNBC’s opinion anchors not be able to change their M.O

At one point, while watching the FOX coverage, I noitced that I hadn’t seen Hannity, Beck or O’ Reilly on the broadcast all night. After that the disparity between FOX and the other cable channels’ quality of coverage was glaringly obvious. MSNBC didn’t even make an effort to play it even-handedly. So much for Kweef’s ridiculous ‘pledge’ for a less teeth-gnashing angry bent to his show.

MSNBC is a national embarrassment. I’m not going to even watch the clip.

There is an element of political opportunism in that, naturally, and I’m no fan of John Boehner, but there is a coherent argument that could be made for it. When TARP was first passed in the Fall of ’08, it was sold as an emergency measure that was needed to save the financial system from sliding off a cliff. That is probably true, and in that sense it worked as advertised.

By mid-2009, however, TARP became a general-purpose slush fund. It was used for the bailout of GM and Chrysler (after free standing bailout bills couldn’t make it through Congress), and then banks couldn’t repay the money as fast as they wanted to, and it was used an excuse for “pay accountability” measures and a bunch of other nonsense. Then, as the money was repaid, some have fought to have the money used to pay down the deficit, while the Obama Administration has resisted and argued that is should be used for more spending in other areas.

A person of good faith could have supported TARP in ’08 because they believed it was necessary to save the financial system, but not realizing that it would some day be misused for a bailout of the auto industry. It would make sense that they might today regret that vote not having known how the money would be misused.

I don’t know if Boehner is that person of good faith (and frankly I doubt it), but Maddow’s point isn’t entirely fair either.

okay, thanks for the info
The devil is in the details to be sure.

Keith is really smart – he took off ‘The Worst Person in the World’ just in time.
Although he could give it to himself and finally become an award winning journalist.

I guess this article answers my question about whether the word “teabagger” would finally be retired from the “professionals” at MSNBC.

Mr. Boehner was most assuredly in his cups before his speech.

He was at minimum tipsy, and I suspect nowhere near legally sober enough to operate a motor vehicle.

He has no self control and a well deserved reputation as a drunk.

He stammered, slurred and mispronounced several words during the speech – I was astonished.

Lord help us all. I mean I’m no fan of Pelosi, but she at least has her own house in order, pardon the pun.

didn’t msnbc put matthews and olby on restriction during the election in 2008? i thought they weren’t allowed to appear together during election coverage because of their petty ridiculous fights last time?

That was an all time low for GE and MSNBC.
Expect the character assassins to amp it up.
Hide your woman and children……the Soros assassins are coming.

Olbermann is against showing any emotion in public. That’s why he always maintains that stoic demeanor.

is that middle guy sleeping?
Just like everyone else who was watching this channel

I tuned in watch this show last night, for about 10 minutes, knowing full well that what I was going to hear was the petty, childish, moaning gibberish that this group of paid Liberal-Progressive pundits would be spouting. And I wasn’t disappointed! This laughable group of Obimbo butt-kissing stooges were at the top of their game. Wallowing in their usual sophomoric personal attacks, rather than addressing the issues that led to an overwhelming defeat of Obimbo’s quasi-socialist agenda. This group of clowns are at the bottom of cable-news shows for a reason and they demonstrated that reason last night with their usual nonsense.

It was almost inconceivable to me that any Republican in South Carolina could have been struggling as she was through the night. She must be considered weak or baggage-laden in the state.

Why don’t you look at the minority population in S.C. and the smear campaign against her. Now tell me how she did.

So some bitchy “pundits” complain about Boehner crying… and we all forget that he BEGGED Congress to pass TARP, which he now says is stinky. He’s a flip-flopper. And remember when Geraldine Ferraro cried during her concession speech? Everybody said “THAT’S why women aren’t fit to lead!” I say, cry, Boehner, cry. Someday, we will all be equal :)

Rachel Maddow has turned into the “mean girl.” Don’t you mean “mean boy?”
