She's on Hardball right now and she is FURIOUS. I wish text on a screen could truly convey her outrage. If and when the clip gets put up online, I hope I can find it and post it here. In the meantime, I'll just have to transcribe her words.
Ron Christie has the gall to say: "I don't want him [President Obama] to act zealously. I want him to show some emotion. He's not showing the right emotion. And it's not a Republican attack or a Ron Christie attack, look at what Maureen Dowd said in the New York Times this morning. She said that he appeared like Dr. Spock [Matthews interrupts to correct him that it's Mr. Spock], this sort of a little bit detached, aloof. And I think Chris, frankly, this is a time of war. As much as Joan, and as much as many on the Democratic Left don't like to admit it, we are dealing with very serious issues right now."
[Cross-talk when Joan interrupts to say she admits that, and he reprimands her for cutting him off]
Ron Full-of-Gall Christie continues: "We are looking for the President of the United States on Christmas Day, when you have a radicalized Muslim trying to take down an American airliner on Christmas Day, to reassure the American people. I think he could have come out and said, "We are assessing the facts, we're assessing the situation. We'll get back to you," but I think that's what all Americans, not Republicans or Democrats, but Americans want from their President."
<snip another question from Chris Matthews>
". . .Christmas Day is one of the most holiest days in the Christian religious faith. This was a radicalized Muslim who tried to kill 300 Americans on Christmas Day. I wanted my President to come out and say, "We recognize this was an act of terror by a radicalized Muslim on Christmas Day and we're going to have this situation under control."
Okay Mr. Christie, you want emotion? Fasten your seatbelt for the wrath of Joan Walsh. . .
Joan Her-Fury-Knows-No-Bounds Walsh: "Richard Reid was a radicalized Muslim 3 days before Christmas. I had relatives flying and it was 2001 -- I was actually scared to death at that point, as were a lot of Americans. But nobody thought to bray about President Bush staying on his vacation because that wasn't the climate at the time. The climate right now is that Republicans use everything they can to undermine and delegitimize this President, and it's actually un-American. It's traitorous in my opinion. Do you want to give aid and comfort to our enemies? Continue to treat this President like he wasn't elected and he doesn't know what he's doing! He knows what he did, he knows what he's doing. I'm proud of him, I believe that he has the stalwart, resolute nature to get this done. In my opinion, sometimes he goes too far. But to talk about him like he's some Socialist out to lunch is just outrageous!"
She's a crazy lady who offered up no tangible proof in her defense of the dear leader.
Hyperbole and excuse making, again referencing Bush behaviours to justify Obamas.
Lame ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Sorry op, regardless of her "fury", she really didn't say anything.
