Tweety: "I didn't want to EAT IT" - meaning, the party's "blue plate special"

[polichick]

That's his explanation for not running in PA ~ he's really excited tonight on KO!

[SemiCharmedQuark]

1. Yeah, I just saw that. He didn't want to "eat it" on card check, apparently.

He went a little nuts there for a minute.

[polichick]

4. Yeah, and he mentioned trade restrictions too. He did go a little nuts!

[muntrv]

2. What? Chris hates Weird Al Yankovic?

:rofl:

[smoochpooch]

3. He sure sounds like he wants to run, telling PA voters that Specter doesn't stand for anything. nt

[SemiCharmedQuark]

5. Doesn't he???

He sounded SO bitter!

[rpannier]

6. Specter stands for many things

Sadly, he's a republikkan scarecrow in the Democratic meadow

[polichick]

8. I guess you could call Specter "pragmatic" - he switches when it works for him.

7. that was kind of awkward

I'm entertained by Chris sometimes, but the "these people aren't principled" thing was kind of funny to me, because Chuck Todd mentioned recently that Chris decided not to run for Senate because someone asked him what he was going to do once he got there, and he admitted to himself that he had no clue (that it had just been a dream).

[polichick]

9. Interesting. I recall him saying on the show once that it was a dream.

12. the drool, the venom, the lack of eye contact -- poor Tweety is devastated by Arlen's move

What a pathetic shill -- he spends half of his show licking and sniffing the ass of every politician the can find to fill a slot and eats every plate they have to serve -- now he has the gall to when his dream goes up in smoke that he'd never eat the plates necessary to get him there.

Keep eating for your KO warmups Chrissy McSuperficial and know this....I won't be watching.

10. I think Chris nailed Specter pretty well

as a person willing to do anything to hold on to that Senate seat.

[polichick]

11. He seemed a little angry - maybe because he thought he'd have to...

...go along with the party when he didn't agree, but Specter won't.

It would be interesting to know what deal was cut between Dems and Specter.
