Morning Joe has gotten on the Peggy Noonan, David Gergen, Billy Kristol, et al train and are

really eviscerating Romney. Willy pointed out how insulting the military, seniors, students with debt, etc. Romney's comments were and if he is the picture of the head of the Repub party, they are in deep trouble. They are empathetic with people like Scott Brown (R-MA) and how Romney is really hurting downticket repub candidates. Halperin is livid in his controlled remarks.

This is the butthat who had the same exact situation - CAUGHT supposedly off camera calling president Obama a dick.

You think he ever referred to bush as a dick, and bush pretty much was one in the literal sense of the the use of the term.

Last week when the talk was about Romney's refusal to walk back on his bucketheaded Libya/Cairo statement, he about had an aneurysm saying BOTH CANDIDATES ARE GUILTY OF DIGGING IN THEIR HEELS AND NOT BACKING DOWN.

It was just bizarre.

The discussion was about Romney and he had to do what they do, interject the false equivilence thing, but he got all beet red and looked like his head was going to blow off as he kept repeating it.

He has this phony, geeky thing that the back slapping "liberal" press want to make him out as some kind of objective savant on politics, but he is CLEARLY an R whore, he can't hide his very visceral feelings.

He said what he meant..just like Romney did in May.

Do you all recall when a reporter stood outside the tented fund raiser in Palm Beach or south FL & recorded a snippet of that same behind closed doors narrative..not unlike what was revealed MotherJones magazine Mon.

That reporter was asked to stop recording & he did. I'm sure it was during fund raise FL right after he was about to clinch the amount of delegates. Dont remember who it was that taped the tent fund raiser.

One last thing...

Halperin IS a dick! Always has been!

I like Eastwood's movies, and this one looks good. But he's ruined for me, at least temporarily. I know I'd just sit there and seethe. So thanks, Clint. So few movies that appeal to me these days and you ruined one of them.

I threw Clint into the Chuck Norris pile of crap when it was revealed that he was speaking at the pig convention.

But check out the video, it's not about his new film. It's a joke on Clint.

All these mistakes will prove them right. I myself wondered why they were pushing a candidate that even a die- hard Republican would have to work to support.

They would have been nodding along with every word he said. And some of the very people Romney was insulting are in full agreement with him. They're just too stupid to get that the joke is on them.

I ONLY turn on Morning Joe on days like this when the Pukes are crying so I don't observe her often. Is there something wrong with her? I don't want to be insensitive but she was acting like someone who had suffered a highly traumatic brain injury. I'm not being facetious. She looked like a woman whose brain couldn't coordinate her thoughts with her words and so appeared like a fish struggling to breathe.

Did something bad happen to her? (I mean besides wearing that weird dress)

She's upset that Romney is tanking. But she can't say so because she pretends that she's a liberal. That's why she's making faces.

it sounded to me like she was trying to contain her glee as Romney was being kicked under the bus. You know how if someone is coming around to your perspective and you don't want to say too much and cause them to go back on the defensive? I could be wrong.

in an attempt to keep the Republican Party viable. These statements are more than just a game changer in a Presidential race, they could very well prove to be a Party Killer.
