How many times tonight did both Obama and Edwards say things like "As President of the United States
I will ...." or something similar? Many of course, they ALL did and yet Tweety Mathews cannot STOP going on about Hillary "making a power play" and "acting like she's already the nominee, like she's already the President".

Damn that man is an ass.

Congratulations to all the participants btw. I thought all three did quite extraordinary tonight.

3. I think that Tweety meant it as a compliment to Hillary

4. I didn't get it that way. It came accross to me as a backhanded compliment
Something like, "Gee that dress looks really nice on you, it pulls the eye upwards - away from your hips" or "It was so nice to hear about your son's new job - maybe now he can stay out of prison".

8. Well, it seems that Clinton supporters think he meant it as an insult, and supporters of other
candidates think he meant it as a compliment.

Maybe the more likely possibility is that he had not idea himself how he meant it -- He just loves to hear himself blabber on about anything.

6. I agree re "a compliment to Hillary" - Tweety is being "re-educated" by GE now

5. I thought they all did well too - and yes, Matthews is a complete ass
It's almost as if he's trying to make up for being a sexist ass-hole last week.

7. It's easy to look good when you aren't confronted with the truth or facts.
