I think Matthews does it to generate questions like those being asked here, and show how childish and arrogant Cheney (CHAINEY) really is.

sound, then I will make sure always to use a long-A vowel sound. With all my best wishes!

I might change my mind when the lot of them decide to refer to my political party by its proper name. The Democratic Party. NOT the "Democrat Party." They do that deliberately to smack us around, demean and diminish us, and show us disrespect just a little teeny bit more. So I will simply hijack that page from their book and use it on THEM, too.

That's the way they want to play? Okay then! Game on! I can play that game TOO.

No one is demeaned, diminished or disrespected by Republicans' use of poor grammar but themselves, assuming they know better.

about voting rights too. He seems to be genuinely incensed at all the Republican attempts to infringe on the right to vote and really gets in some peoples faces about it, to the point that he sprays spit all over the place.

Voting rights bills often stop college kids of all stripes as well as women who married and elderly people from voting. In FL, it's hispanics who are systematically and erroneously included on the list of non-eligble voters.

He will come out strong on a story, taking a 'firm' position one day and then take the opposite 'firm' position the next day.

I think far too many pundits think the DC bubble reflects the world outside of it when the reality is quite different.

Tweety surfs on his feelings of the moment. Fine enough when the tide is rolling in, but never lose sight of the fact that it will inevitably roll out again.

Especially if Hillary is the next president. "Clinton scandals" distract him so easily that if you pointed over his shoulder and said "Holy Cow! Is that a picture of Bill Clinton's dick!?" he'd whip his head around so fast he'd snap his own neck.

But they are counting on them being the ones who writes history.

" he who controls the past controls the future, and he who controls the present controls the past."

Lots of things go down the memory hole.

That's what attracts them, that they found someone as ruthless for money and power as they are. I think we need new faces all the way round.

right to his face on air. I thought he was going to break down and cry. Think he sputtered something like "but I worked for Tip O'Neill." I also thought I was going to pee my pants laughing.

It's good though he still stands for some Democratic principles.
