Chris Matthews Finishes Off What's Left of "Jim" Hensarling

[Clio the Leo]

Seriously, I dont get all of the Tweety hate. The man is TOO adept at trapping the GOP buffoons in their own twisted logic.

Tx Rep "Jim" Hensarling (hey, if The Obama calls you "Jim" guess what? You're NEW name is JIM!) decided he need to do a little CYA after his run in with the President Friday, so what does he do? He decides to engage the OTHER member of the Democratic party that you'd be a fool to debate.

What's his plan? He wants to cut social security benefits! HA! Great idea there "Jim"! Get on every show you can and tell it to the world! Brilliant! Send all the 55 and younger crowd our way!

Best part was when Tweety started laughing at him near the end.

1. GOPerrs are idiots, this is an understatement...n/t

[SpiralHawk]

2. "Please cut our Social Security benefits." - Republicon Homelanders

Great...if we cut SS for Republicon Homelanders, then more benefits for Americans.

Tweety got Hensnarling to admit his fix for SS: PRIVATIZING!!!

Tweety was like a dog with a bone! Ole Jeb jes' stood there grinning with his bad teeth, probably dying inside, while Tweety hammered him. Hensnarling would "re-engineer" (translation: privatize) SS for people under the age of 55 and admitted they wouldn't get the same level of benefits as those on SS now!

Tweety then told Jeb that Eric Cantor and John Boehner would have a word with him tomorrow ("Are you crazy?")...

4. I say Reform the Entitlements of War Profiteering

If reform must be made within the budget ...

There shouldn't be massive profits made by any corporation that receives Federal money. It's not fiscally sound, nor is it patriotic.

Leave Social Security and Medicare alone!

6. That was entertaining, and you would WANT MSM ...

Bobble heads to call out scumbag Rs like that all of the time, but this highlights the "tweety hate."

His single greatest strength is his ability to put his finger to the wind and know which way it is blowing and get in front of it ...

He spent the entire first five years of the 2000's sucking republican tail and doing the "incompentent dems" routine until he saw the sea changes, then went back to his inner liberal ... See, having a male orgasm over Bush's top gun photo op ...

A week ago he was sucking republican teet and banging dems ... NOW, since BO got the wind at his sails, Mathews is taking some BACKBENCH R droid to the woodshed, but make no mistake, when the wind shifts in the Rs favor, he will be drilling the Ds again ...

7. That was great tv. He made him look even crazier than he looked Friday.

And earlier, Rick Sanchez on CNN fact-checked "Jim's" claim that the GOP's yearly deficit is now the Dems.' monthly deficit (or something similar) and found it to be way off, putting a big, red "WRONG" across his face.

[Clio the Leo]

11. I saw we all write "Jim".....

.... and ask him "What in the heck are you thinkin' son?" ..... or ask whatever you want to ask .... just make sure you refer to him as "Jim."

heh

[jenmito]

15. Yeah, we should...

I looked for his email address and found this link: http://www.jebhensarling.com/ Let's write to Jim. :D

[Clio the Leo]

18. Tell him I said....

.... "what up JIM!"

[jenmito]

19. Will do...

I'll have to say we BOTH say, "What up, JIM?" :D

[Clio the Leo]

20. Kinda makes me want to call his office and go...

"Is Jim there?" ... at which point they'll no doubt correct me, "his name is Jeb." "Well, I dont want to talk to one of the Bushs, I want to talk to JIM! You know, the one who was just on the tee vee talkin' about how he wants to cut social security. So can I talk to Jim?"

[jenmito]

23. ...

:rofl: That really would be funny!

[Clintonista2]

8. I don't get the tweety hate either

Yes, he's said some stupid things. He's more than made up for it countless times though.

[valerief]

10. It's not the stupid things. It's the Republican slobbering. That said,

he was fabulous last week at Question Time.

[Solomon]

13. Tweety always does a 180 on you. He's two faced

that's why a lot of hate. The next day, he'll be touting some rightwing answer to the shit he's stirring up today.

He was damned good today. I'll give him that. But then just as good as he was today, he'll be that bad tomorrow.

[madmax]

27. I'm still waiting for him to apologize

for all the bullshit he dumped on Al Gore.

He kept pushing the Pugs talking points every night. Gore lies, he invented the internet, he's Zelig, etc. :mad:

[mochajava666]

30. I hear ya. Tweety loved bashing Gore.

[valerief]

9. I wished Tweety had a comeback for when Hensarling talked about

the 2006 and on Congressional deficit growth. What snowballed and why?

[rufus dog]

25. tweety fell for the oldest trick in the book on this one.

What the dickhead Repuke was doing was AVERAGING deficit from 1998 to now. So Bush drove up the deficit yet by averaging the numbers and taking two years of Clinton, Bush looks good and Obama looks bad because he is stuck with a much higher baseline.

It was complete Bullshit and I can't believe Tweety didn't nail him.

[DesertFlower]

12. i've always liked chris matthews.

been watching him since the show started. he does sometimes put his foot in his mouth.

[vaberella]

14. You know I love all things TWEETY!!! Ugh...he entertains me. n/t

[Clio the Leo]

16. "HA!" NT

[vaberella]

17. You see why Tweety is necessary?! He manages to trip up these idiots on a regular basis. n/t

[Atman]

21. He never said that!

He said he wants to "revisit" and "re-engineer" Social Security.

Seriously, though, it was great to watch The Tweetster corner him and demand an explanation for what "re-engineer" meant, forcing him to essentially concede to the definition "CUT." It was pretty damned good.

.

[Clio the Leo]

22. Oh yes of course...

.... and what was it Tweety accused him of using "You guys keep speaking in Latin Vulgate!" (or something)

[BeyondGeography]

24. He uses the Clinton budget surpluses to bring down the average deficits under a GOP-led Congress

I wish Tweety had pointed that out. Otherwise, well done.

[BlueIdaho]

26. wow - just wow...

[rocktivity]

28. Another example of great minds thinking alike!

[tallahasseedem]

29. LOL!

I love the fact that Matthews smacked him down. What's pathetic though is how the Republicans continue to repeat the same talking points even though they have been refuted. They're like robots.

[glinda]

31. Sometimes Tweety's best moments are straight forward and demanding a straight answer.
