Rachel Maddow Reacts To Bobby Jindal, "I'm Absolutely Stunned"

[whatsgoingon07]

AAAAHBBHAAABHABHAA

[MrRick5690]

God bless the DALITS (untouchables) of INDIA....their slaves.

[noflizone]

GOP wants government

Of the 1%, By the 1%, For the 1%.

How they've convinced my working-class neighbor to go along is the brainwash of the century.

[flyboymd82]

The 3 biggest buffoons on television right here! Classic! Madcow sounded like she just woke up from a long night of eating dykes. Tounge all sore Mrs Lickalottapus?? LOL!

[mrscorie]

I have to say that I would pay big money to see the Fox commentators and the MSNBC commentators square off in a debate. Olberman, Mathews, and Maddow would buss their asses.

[Jennybean89]

Chris Matthews and Rachel Maddow's reactions were actually priceless :D

[dawgnpony]

Priceless is right! One of the truly funniest moments I've seen on live television in a long time. Thanks for your comment.

[spock8585]

Gov.Piyush Amrit Jindal lied about transparency and slipped this bill through.

S.B. 363, a bill about the Louisiana Youth Advisory, included an amendment to exclude any records in Jindals hands from the open records law.

[spock8585]

While Gov. Piyush Amrit Jindal campaigned on and regularly promotes transparency in government at all levels, the same standards do not apply to his office.

Getting what one would think should be public records from the governor's office is virtually impossible under state law — a law that earns Louisiana a national survey's ranking of worst in the nation for access to the governor's records.

State law exempts the governor from having to release documents that are commonly accessible

[spock8585]

Governor Piyush Amrit Jindal just made a deal to pay for a chicken plant that does not have to pay the taxpayers back, for only 50 million taxpayers dollars.

Governor Piyush Amrit Jindal a fake republican conservative. Jindal takes good care of rich friends.

[truthinstyle]

Amen! We are idiots to copy a system that has brought rationed care to those countries stupid enough to try it. They won't have anywhere to go for their health care if the USA adopts this flawed and fatal philosophy.

[gangstajeffro]

This woman is the worst reporter i have EVER seen on T.V. Many times, she blames republicans for issues that liberals are even more notorious for. It would be nice is she would also say Obama has hired 4(maybe 5) tax cheats, one who heads the IRS. How ironic. She should also show Barack Obama pledging against earmarks during his campaign and then signing a bill with over 8500 earmarks..And Barack Obama having the nerve to say we need to be fiscally responsible when he 's the exact opposite.

[CHEETAH69]

Oh sweet dear, you really need to stop watching FOX or paying close attention to republican strategists. Obama didn't pledge against earmarks. Never said that he'd get rid of them. The comments he made during the campaign, were that he would reform the process. John McCain said he'd "veto any bill" with earmarks. Obama made it clear that earmarks, in and of themselves, are beneficial. But he stated that their abuse would be curtailed once he was in office. Rembember his "line by line" comment?

[gangstajeffro]

So passing a bill with over 8500 earmarks is not abusing the system? I thought he promised to "change the way Washington does business". He's making Washington much bigger and powerful than Bush did. Remember how he said that he was going to pass a bipartisan economic recovery plan, but instead he let Congress write the bill and pass it before anybody had the time to even read it? Remember how McCain proposed a stimulus that was expected to create 2x the jobs at 1/2 the price of the one passed?

[CHEETAH69]

Passing a bill with over 8500 earmarks, isn't abuse especially if we don't know what those earmarks or for. That's what my issue is with all of this. People just vaingloriously throw out huge figures and attach exclamation marks at the end and that is supposed to mean that those numbers are excessive or unnecessary. I'm not the President, nor am I aware of each earmark that was stuffed into the bill. How do we know that 10,000 or more weren't proposed?

[gangstajeffro]

Becaause people read the bills and count them. We can find out what the earmarks are for if we want to. If you don't think that passing bills that cost 787 billion, 700 billion, 410 billion, 75 billion, and a 3.6 Trillion dollar budget for next year is not excessive, then what the hell is? Answer that one. Now how is that being fiscally responsible? Do you know how they are going to pay for all these things? Money doesn't grow on trees you know. It comes from you and me. Do you get it?

[CHEETAH69]

I do know that the bill isn't as big as it is because of earmarks. Earmarks account for less than 2% of the overall bill. , throwing out big figures, figures that I'll never have to honestly deal with, isn't proving much. We are dealing with an uprecedented recession. We're not fixing the economy of Orange County. It's the country. The funny thing is, is that some economist are saying the bills should have been bigger. Of course the money is "excessive." But it doesn't make it unnecessary.

[gangstajeffro]

No, the money should have been given back to the American people, not kept in the hands of the government. I know we are getting some money back, but look at all the money the government is investing in itself. So over 5.5 billion dollars in earmarks is not a big deal huh? The bill did not need to be bigger, it needed to be carefully planned and analyzed before voting. The money needed to be spent wiselym but it wasn't. Lots of it is complete ly wasteful pork projects.

[CHEETAH69]

As far as McCain is concerned, as a dude who admitted that the economy was his least favorite area, I'd think again before I considered his idea as THE one to bank on. And you write in error, when you state no one had time to read or go over it. They had plenty of time. Perhaps if they had spent more time going over it instead of theatrically opposing it on every cable news tv, they might have a better understanding or grasp of it (that means YOU Lindsay Graham!!)

[gangstajeffro]

Oh, the hypocrisy. The senate had less than 48 hours to read bill before it was passed. So that's enough time to read and ammend an 1100+ page bill huh? Politicians were not the only people who opposed the bill you know. Let me share some things they spent our money on: 300 million for new cars for the Fed, 400 mil in STD prevention, 2.1 billion in carbon-capture demo projects, 2.5 billion to repair federal buildings, etc. Don't you wish they would have given that money to us instead? I do

[CHEETAH69]

I don't know how much time is needed nor do I know how I'm being hypocritical. But I will say that it is nothing new for bills to be passed without every page being actually read before they are voted on. Let me tell you some things they voted on $120 billion on infrastructure, $100 billion on education, $267 billion on food stamps and unemployment. Now the bill might not be perfect or entirely "stimulative" but it is, most agree, is a step in the right direction.

[gangstajeffro]

I did not mean that you were a hypocrite, I was talking about our politicians being hypocritical. It's hard to communicate effectively when youtube limits us to only 500 characters. Anyway, how does it make you feel when people are controlling your destiny without even putting much thought into it? And how does it make you feel when they say that we don't care when they waste our money on pork projects?

[CHEETAH69]

got it. and yeah the 500 word limit makes us leave alot out. But I don't see how anything or anyone is controlling my destiny. I am still the author of my life. And I saw the clip of the guy making that comment. He might have been wrong on some level. but I don't think his crime was that big of one to make. And I don't think he meant it as flippantly as it's been played.

[gangstajeffro]

Yes, I know that are not do not contorol our destiny, but understand that the more the government grows, the more power and control they have over us. So how did that make you feel when you heard a man that governs you say that you don't care about him spending your money on wasteful pork projects?

[CHEETAH69]

I think we do obama's policies a deservice when we attempt to link his policies or his goals to be tied so closely to Socialism. Government will not "control" me any more than they do now. The senator made the comment that americans don't care, and I'm thinking that for the most part, americans don't. Ask any average joe what the earmarks are and they couldn't tell you what an earmark is or how they are important. Most Americans just want results without really knowing why or how.

[truthinstyle]

Don't be so filled with hate. You haven't given one argument that has made sense.

The housing crisis was begun by Carter and ramped up by Clinton. It burst under the watchful eyes of Barney Frank and a Dem congress.

Facts are terrible things to waste...

[dmdcreations]

truthinstyle, thank you for trying but you have to recognize the ones who will never admit any 'real' wrongdoing. These people build their arguments around the circumstances, not principles. Clinton is a classic example. Without going into the lying to federal judges under oath and the numerous accusations of sexual 'harassment', remember what his supporters said as their main argument? 'It's his personal life' That was the best they could do and it stuck thanks to some cowardly senators.

[truthinstyle]

I know this is does seem to be a pretty pathetic place to try and have a dialogue when most here are simply angry liberals who enjoy their rants without facts or substance. I believe it is worthy when the truth is expressed and a few actually look into the facts and those are the ones that make this of some value.

[truthinstyle]

We are dealing with the ramifications of a Dem congress for the last two years and the mindless drumbeat of Bush haters like you. Don't pretend that you are wounded by my simple comments. Just get the facts straight and stop whining.

[CHEETAH69]

LOL. So it's the last 2 years coupled with nation "Bush hate" that's responsible for our current crisis? You are truly, unmistakably, undeniably, but definitely, out of your damn mind!

And I've hinted at not even slight offense at your words. If anything, your words have provided me with some well needed moments of hilarity. Thanks.

[truthinstyle]

Bush did not get "rightfully" criticized. He was demonized by the America haters. You speak of laws yet you do not hold your own party to any standard. It is shameful to even begin to make a point when you know you have no facts to back them up. Extremist will be your description by the words you utter. It does not take someone like me to point that out.

[CHEETAH69]

So Bush's policies were about criticism? Even the ones that failed? Wow! U that far in his ass? "My party" doesn't get away Scott free, either. However, we're dealing with the ramifications of the last administration. That's what I'm criticizing. You wanna call me "extremist?" OK. You can call me a "witch" or a "terroist" if it suits your needs. I can roll with that. Much like anything republicans say these days, it means nothing.

[truthinstyle]

Do you think America under a Dem president did not engage in waterboarding? You call that torture when the terrorist can walk away from it but you have no problem with terrorists cutting off the heads our soldiers. We took people who were on the battlefield fighting against our men and women and held them while they remained a threat or had information. It's been done in every war.

You don't hate war, I realize this. You just hate Bush. If Obama does it, it will be fine with you.

[CHEETAH69]

Alright buddy, you do harm to your attempt at arguing when you insist on putting words and ideas in my mouth. It makes it easy for you to argue. I get that. How could you argue with what I'm actually saying? I'm talking about people who were at weddings who got picked up and hauled off to prison based on "reasonable suspicion." And I don't hate Bush. I'm sure, at his core, he's a well-meaning dude. But let's not allow that to negate or excuse his obvious ineptitude or arrogance.

[gangstajeffro]

Explain how Barack Obama is making the situation better when he has already doubled the national deficit and has already proposed more spending than Bush did while fighting 2 wars, natural disasters, and 9/11. Bush tried to increase oversight (especially on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac) nearly 20 times, but was shut down by Congress. Barack Obama got over 100K in campaign contributions from the CEO of Fannie Mae. Don't you get it? Explain to me why you think Bush is the only one to blame.

[CHEETAH69]

What you don't seem to understand is that there is no possible way to "stimulate" the economy out of one of the ugliest recessions without spending. Tax cuts or a spending freeze are two options that not only are nonsensical alternatives but have proven to not work. And for the record, I understand that there is not ONE thing or person that is responsible for the mess we're in. So I don't blame Bush. But I laugh at his "legacy makers" who seem intent on absolving him of ANY and ALL blame.

[gangstajeffro]

I am not against spending money to help the economy. I think everybody needs help right now. I just think our government is not spending our money wisely. They are throwing it away to special interests and growing the government more than ever before. Do you understand that? Remember how Reagan and JFK cut taxes in hard economic times, and it worked? When was the last time that people were worse off with a tax cut. Obama is doing what FDR did, and we all know how that turned out dont we?

[CHEETAH69]

What you see as being "not wise" or frivolous, history sees as possibly not enough. Historical economists will tell you that the true problem with FDR's New Deal was that it wasn't big enough. It started big, but because of overconfidence or even prudence, the purse strings were reigned in too quickly and tightly. As a result the big jump that was expected, wasn't as big as it should have been. Now is not the time to think small. Especially when our economic state is nowhere near that.

[gangstajeffro]

the stimulus bill is going to cost more than $1.3 Trillion after interest. That means it will cost every American over $4,300. Now when you are going to spend that kind of money on a plan to stablize the economy, you better make damn sure that it's going to work. I understand that unmeployment benefits are necessary. We did not need to increase food stamp funding by 13.1 billion. But welfare does nothing but encourages irresponsiblity. Do you understand? FDR created a dependence on gov.

[CHEETAH69]

Anything that can be abused, will be. But food stamps are not, in and of themselves debilitating agents. They're necessary for many families. And seeing as how many have lost jobs, their availability is even more so. Do YOU understand? FDR didn't create a dependence of gov. His crime was that he didn't do enough. Look it up.

[gangstajeffro]

Well I used to work at a grocery store and you would not beleive how many people bought dog food, pop, alcohol and tobacco while they were on foodstamps. Do you like paying for people to do that? Read the Constitution and tell me what our founders defined the role of our government to be. It is to protect us and to protect our rights. It is not to step in the way of responsible people to help the people who live beyond their means. It is not here to pay for our healthcare, welfare, etc etc.

[CHEETAH69]

I know there will be abuses. but I know also that there are real families out there that actually need them. I don't want to say to them, "you're screwed." Because a distinct minority abuses the system. And I've always thought it crazy that in this country there are people who literally can't afford to get sick. Some people are left without valuable, life-saving meds because it's simply too expensive. It's not right.

[gangstajeffro]

Yes, it is unfortunate that people can't afford health care. But understand that it costs providers millions and millions in insurance fees because many people abuse the system and end up suing them for hundreds of millions of $. You know people will always abuse the system. So what makes people think that if we nationalized healthcare, for example, that people are not going to abuse the system? They are going to go to the doctor for every little thing they can because they don't have to pay

[CHEETAH69]

Once more, some will abuse the system. For sure. But I don't want families that actually need real and serious healthcare to have to suffer or worse, die due to the irresponsibility of others. Perhaps there should be some sort of policy set in place to discourage abuse. I'm no expert on the specifics. That's why we have elected officials.

[gangstajeffro]

Elected officials are not experts either. Look how many times the government has tried to fix problems and failed miserably. Social security is virtually bankrupt.  Medicare is virtually bankrupt. Nationalized healthcare would eventually have the same fate. For those unfortunate families that need healthcare, we can use honest charity organizations. That way we know it will not be abused. Oh yeah, guess where Canadians that need immediate health care go...America!!

[CHEETAH69]

Well until we start electing the actual "experts," our officials will have to do. The need for healthcare is far greater than any charitable organizations could handle.

[gangstajeffro]

That's quite true. But if you look at what nationalized health care has done to Canada and the United Kingdom, you would see that the system is broken there as well. Idk about the UK, but in Canada people have to schedule trips to the doctor more than 3 months in advance in many cases. Think of an organization like the DMV running your healthcare system. Guess where Canadians that need immediate healthcare (such as surgery) go...America because they don't have to wait!

[dawgnpony]

Having lived in the U.K. for years and experienced National Health first hand, as well as having many of my family members that rely on the health care system, I can say that you are wrong. Your statement is based on continued misinformation created by those that wish to keep the highly profitable system alive at all costs... the costs of American's well being.

[gangstajeffro]

Oh well, I've read articles in the Wall Street Journal and discussed it in Microeconomics class that are contradictory to what you say. If you knew anything about economics, you would know that increasing the demand while keeping the supply constant causes prices to go up. The health care companies are still making profits, but you don't see that because your taxes are paying the difference in cost. I think I'll take the laws of economics and the Wall Street Journal's information over yours.

[dawgnpony]

The Wall Street Journal? Good lord! For 18 years, I provided analysis of real estate data (sales and loans) to every major bank and lending institution and it was obvious to us professionals that the Wall Street Journal has had an agenda and truth has never been a part of it. There is the class room and then there is the real world. I don't care if you dismiss my experience and continue swallowing the pabulum fed to you by those that got it so wrong. Your loss.

[konekufpictures]

DAP, you can lead a whore to culture but you can't make 'em think! My advice, let these youngsters learn the hard way. No theory is a substitute for experience.

[gangstajeffro]

well its questionable that the Wall Street Journal is wrong and that they would risk their reputation and credibility to not report the truth. Also I said earlier, I'm not too familiar with the UK's system. But I do know that the USA has more than 5x the population of the UK and 9x the population of Canada. And I know the system has deen disastorous in Canada. The USA simply could not afford a healthcare program with a country of our size while still maintaining a competitive economy.

[mikeleejohnson]

I am a Canadian and what you are saying is utter bullshit!. I can get in to see a doctor in 1 hour! And it costs me nothing!

Not only that it costs the tax payers less here than it does in your country.

[konekufpictures]

Those Americans that make these claims about Canadian health care being inferior to the profit based care they get in the U.S. haven't a clue. They are the same voices that make numerous stupid nationalistic claims and refer to the U.S. president as, "the leader of the free world". Something that I find both offensive and extremely embarrassing as a dual national.

[gangstajeffro]

Canadian health care companies make profits too. But the citizens do not see that because their taxes are paying the difference in costs. The costs are still there, but the government now handles them. The system has lead to rationed services. Has it not? I beleive the waiting list for an MRI is now up to 14 months now. Many Canadians come to America for MRIs and surgeries. The city of Pittsburgh has more MRI machines than all of Canada. Do you live in Canada? If so, explain the system

[rifleman522]

Randy Maddow- " I know I am paid to talk for a living"

translation- " I know I am paid to spew liberal bullshit propaganda for a living"

[rifleman522]

Olberdouche- "a republican invoking the lessons of Hurricane Katrina come to mind"

I guess Olberdouche forgot to mention it was a DEMOCRAT Governor of Louisiana and a DEMOCRAT Mayor of New Orleans that totally FAILED in preparing the state BEFORE and AFTER the storm, and it was a REPUBLICAN Governor of Mississippi that totally succeeded in preparing his state.

Just an oversight on his part I'm sure.

[graft1863]

I won a bet about how the dow would go below 7000. Guess who's laughing now.

[konekufpictures]

Republicans are the only ones sleazy enough to find reward in the misfortune of others.

[graft1863]

I just call em like i see em...The players in Freddy Mac make up half of congress and democrat

[truthinstyle]

And God bless you as well. We will all certainly need His help.

[truthinstyle]

You made my day! If you were busy "providing analysis" with Franklin Raines who was charged with falsifying loan applications to make bigger bonuses, I guess you know what you're talking about.

[truthinstyle]

Incredible, you read the NYTimes and learned something! Thank you,, Carter, Clinton, Acorn, and Obama!

[truthinstyle]

Keep speaking out, it makes the other side look great.

[truthinstyle]

I stated the obvious, you call it an attack.

Next, you proceed to attack.

It is a great trick of liberalism used after spewing unrelated information.

You have commented on my posting because they are not the usual mindless drivel you are use to drawing.

You have no credibility. Your "independent analysis" is odd as you are not curious enough to look up any actual facts I have presented.

Hopefully a reader or two will find the intellectual integrity to actually seek the truth.

[dawgnpony]

Right... Your fact(s) regarding the housing bubble, one article in the N.Y. Times, has gotten me totally stymied and my 18 years of being paid to provide analysis just was outdone by some YouTuber that adds nothing and can only blather talking points from the dittoheads. Sandy who... gee like no one has heard of him. Time for a new posterboy... dunnathink?. Post all you want, but I said my piece.

[truthinstyle]

Your cut and paste abilities are extraordinary but your point is totally lost in the minutia.

[dawgnpony]

Typically response: Attack the messenger. Who ran the White House and both Houses of Congress during 9/11, NCLB, and the most sweeping deregulation of lending institutions and wall street? Answer: Not the Democratic Party and certainly not Senator Edward Kennedy.

[truthinstyle]

No drugs, just facts.

NCLB was signed into law with Ted Kennedy and spent billions on Reading First curriculum. Spending has always been a Dem specialty.

[truthinstyle]

If you are really curious about Clinton's negligence in heading off 911, just look up Sandy Berger his National Security Adviser and his conviction for stealing documents from the National Archives. This cowardly act of hiding the truth is damning. Bin Laden was within his ability to capture at least three times. Add to this that the FBI and the CIA not being allowed to share information gave us terrorists learning to fly planes in Florida.

[truthinstyle]

Then add to this that the Dems took over the congress two years ago when everything really began to fall apart.

[dawgnpony]

I spent over 18 years performing independent analysis of housing sales and loans for most of the major banks, and many of the smaller institutions, and you, truthinstyle, are totally ignorant of the facts. All of your remarks are based solely on sound bites designed to prop up the beliefs of the misinformed with spans of thought measured in nanoseconds. I usually don't comment on my posting, but your remarks are so far from reality I must speak out.

[truthinstyle]

But to really find the bubble that burst the economy, look to the New York Times Sep. 30, 1999 issue to find that Clinton's administration put pressure on Freddie and Fannie to underwrite thousands of loans for people who could not afford them. The article states that this will be fine in good times but will be disastrous in bad.

[truthinstyle]

The first four years brought us 911. This was a mess left to us by the Clinton administration. Next, came No Child Left Behind coauthored with Kennedy which spent billions in education. The next new program was the Medicare prescription program. All signed onto by Democrats.

[dawgnpony]

What drugs are you on? The attacks on 9/11 were Clinton's fault? Do you recall the outcome from the 1993 attack on the World Trade Center? Capture, trial and incarceration. That was under Clinton's watch.

'No Child Left Behind' was based on the Texas model during G.W. Bush's term as Governor. It was based on fraudulent reporting and was designed along the same lines of President Reagan's attempt to dismantle the Department of Education, which was established under President Carter.

[dawgnpony]

...and lastly... about the Prescription Drug Bill: Rep. Billy Tauzin (R-LA from May 1980 to Jan 2005) co-sponsor of the Prescription Drug Act 2003, secured a waiver from the House Ethics Committee to pursue the 'job' as President and CEO of PhRMA. He later denied that the negotiating occurred while he was a sitting Congressman and Chairman of the House committee that regulates the pharmaceutical industry, however, the waiver proves different.

[dawgnpony]

After what was to be a 15 minute vote and after the floor was kept open for close to 3 hours, Rep. Zack Womp (R-TN) was called to visit the White House and after which he changed his "No" vote to "Aye". The vote was only then closed. Don't believe me? Read the following which was published by the Brookings Institute. Before you cry liberal media, I watched and taped the C-SPAN's coverage in it's entirety and it happened just this way.

[dawgnpony]

Brookings Institute - Jan 15, 2004 "The House voted first. At the end of the customary 15 minutes allocated for electronic voting, the bill seemed to be failing. The Republican leadership held open the voting for nearly three hours until they succeeded in arm-twisting a few G.O.P. opponents into switching their votes from nay to aye.

[dawgnpony]

(Brookings continued): A few Democrats were ready to shift their votes into the negative column, but their leadership failed to get them back to the floor in time, and the chair gaveled the vote closed. The bill passed the House by a single vote."

[pig43001]

Hey Sha2307, i totally agree with you!

[ObamaOurSavior]

Bobby Jindal is a RACIST! The way he spoke of poor black Katrina victims like it's some sort of happy tale just shows his true color. Jindal deserves to be convicted of Hate Crime and sent behind bars for life. Despicable scum racists like him have no place in our country, especially in this age of Obama.

IMPEACH AND CONVICT THE BOBBY JINDAL NOW! This racist scumbag deserves to rot in jail!

[pelicanodechile]

WOW...I agree with a statement from Rachel Maddow: She can't talk in this instance and she gets paid to talk. She fails at talking sensible, most of the time, but she gets a check anyway. That liberalism in a nutshell.

[CHEETAH69]

That anyone can look or listen to Maddow and even hint that she's not sensible is clearly going into the discussion with such bias that it's clearly blinding. She is probably one of THE smartest people on television. She has great heaping of both common and book sense. Perhaps if you weren't so intent on fighting "liberalism" at all cost, you'd notice that.

[rodneyss09]

its nice to hear all MSNBCs hot dogs say rush,rush,rush,rush, they must want the white house to say their names.

[freightshaker007]

the winds of liberal fascism seem to blow quite strong on this site

[SHA2307]

I don't know, but I'd just like to fuck the shit out of Rachael Maddow.

[jgtemplars]

Maybe you could turn away from lesbianism. She looks much like her brother David.

[MagnificentFiend]

Yeah, she's gorgeous.

[blackafrican11]

why don't u go look for big long fat black cock to suck..rachel maddore

Racist Republican piece of shit!

I see a bright future for Bobby as a narrator on Sesame Street.

[Smackdown5]

LMFAO... that was hilarious! Bobby's speech was just for Sesame Street. They might call him and ask him if he wants the job... they are laying off most of the puppets anyways, so Bobby will fit right in!

[ValkyrieAngelic]

Struggled this badly*

[ValkyrieAngelic]

It seems that there is no such thing as Optimism in the world today. People who are on the left listen and they say that Obama is trying his best. People on the right listen and they are still arguing whether or not he is a citizen and that he doesn't know what he is doing,rebuddling with "we need more tax cuts", something that has never helped or prevented the situation. How is anyone suppose to know what to do. The only time this nation has struggled was since FDR and he spent his way out.

[revgetbread]

I've been working day and night to find ways to disband the GOP but they are working even harder to do my work. I can in know way out do Sarah Palin, Unka Tom Steele, Joe the plumber and Jindal. Damn. You stupid fucks are taking all the fun and work out of finding ways to expose your ignorant ideas. You people are delusional and full of hatel. You redumbplican fucks have caused the world enough damage. The sad thing is that we may never recover from 2 terms of George Bush. Disband the party now

[brmichaels13]

I agree that Republicans are doing all they can do to screw themselves. But I fail to see how keeping government spending in check is a bad idea. This "stimulus" (LOL) will make things worse, and the debt we are incurring will make EVERYONE'S taxes higher. Not just rich people's taxes, everyone's. The government is trying to create wealth out of thin air and it doesn't make any sense.  Any logical person could see that.

[CHEETAH69]

You say stimulus and "lol" put the word in quotes and I dont' get it. there can be no stimulus without spending. Simply cutting taxes, everyone pretty much agrees, is not the answer. Now I can admit, that the figures being reported are huge. But that's not to say that such big numbers aren't necessary. We are in an amazingly bad situation. Is it gonna take the same Republican way of doing things to fix this problem? I'm thinking "no." Let's be patient before the "doom and gloom"

[truthinstyle]

Patient? We went through 911 without the damage to the economy that the Obama stimulus has caused. Republicans did spend too much through the first six years of the Bush administration, but the last two years of Dem congress have cause havoc that the liberal spending in the trillions is only making worse!

the deficits that bush began incurring from year one continued through his entire presidency... chronic expenses such as his deficit funded taxcuts, two ongoing wars, a swollen pentagon budget are the major policy contributors. The unregulated house of cards that his economic team presided over and honestly believed would be magically guided by the free hand of the market, well that collapsed and reduced government revenues. there you have the current deficit. its dishonesty to blame the dems.

[CHEETAH69]

God bless you. But you're delusional. I find it curious that Republicans and the like are so quick to blame Obama for the current state of the economy. I know you all like to joke about him being "the one," but his power isn't that great to have screwed the economy up in over a month in office. And if you believe the 2 years of Dem control in congress has done more harm than the 6 year period the Republican fools did, your just choosing to abdicate any semblance of logic or reason.

[truthinstyle]

Democrats are just better at making a mess. It doesn't take them long at all. Look at Louisiana and Illinois to find what 40 years of corrupt spending really creates.

[CHEETAH69]

One need not do such an extensive search to see just how corrupt and nefarious Republicans are: push rewind on the last 8 years. Corruption, lies, wiretapping, prostitution, bribery. I could really go on. But you know youtube only allows for 500 characters.

[truthinstyle]

So you're describing most of the Dems in Illinois and Louisiana, the Clinton administration, left-wing media, the Dem governor of New York, John Edwards, and your point is????

[CHEETAH69]

My point was clear. Democrats don't hold a monopoly on corruption. The republicans have managed to do it and still try to call it "law."

[truthinstyle]

So you are against, laws? How about the tax laws? We have tax cheatsin the Obama cabinet! The Reps are held to a high standard as Dems laugh at law abiding, tax paying citizens.

[CHEETAH69]

No I'm not against laws at all. In fact, I wish that everyone would abide by them. Too bad our last president was under the impression that as long as he was president, whatever he did, was legal (kinda Nixon-esque if you ask me)

[truthinstyle]

Nixon? The enemies list he had comes to mind, just like Obama and Emmanuel. Read the Politico for that update.

Then we'll go done memory lane to look at the laws broken by your favorite president, Clinton. Don't even try to sound intelligent. It's just funny...

[CHEETAH69]

My favorite president? LOL. Don't try to sound like you know everything. you don't. You seem to assume a great deal about me and what my leanings are. You know nothing. The point I was making was that we just said goodbye to an administration that believed any and all was legal in the name of "fighting terrorism." They played on the trumped-up fears of a post 9/11 nation and just went bananas!

The intelligence you claim is simply a sound, isn't. It's what I am. Don't be scared.

[truthinstyle]

Let's see, what do I know about you? First, you are full of hate for America and anything that keeps our country safe from another terrorist attack. Also, you have no real understanding of Obama's difficult position as he pretends to dismantle the demonized (read this as the loony left going bananas) but crucial steps taken by a president who cared more for the American people's safety than he did articulating phony speeches and flying in a jet to sign idiotic spending bills.

[CHEETAH69]

Oh...ok. Just as I thought. You don't know me. You, kinda like Republicans, throw into question people's patriotism and allegiance to country when Bush gets rightfully criticized. "Loony left?" LOL. Come harder. Or at least be original.

[truthinstyle]

Don't waste your time throwing accusations and then whining about your integrity. You have given up on facts and have swallowed whole the agenda of control. It makes you look so small...

[CHEETAH69]

I've made not one plea regarding my integrity dude. If you choose to call it into question, have at it. We tortured people. We arrested people and held them with no trial. It was all in the name of "fighting terroism" It's shameful. Talk about questioning integrity. Point the finger elsewhere.

[silverbluejc]

Liberal Maddow is a traitor to America

[JCraigT81]

Dyke with a mic!. Look at my man hair everybody.

[nierikav]

That's all you have???

[gj1013]

As a conservative, I can't believe I'm agreeing with these charlatans at MSNBC....

[konekufpictures]

Thanks for a honest reply... perhaps you should question whether they are charlatans? I've yet read any posting pointing out a lie or misrepresentation attributable to Maddow. All of the anti-Maddow postings contain scurrilous personal attacks, the mark of rancorous, little minds.

[gj1013]

If you're wondering about my use of the word charlatan please refer to the dictionary and MSNBC's ratings. The definition and ratings will speak for themselves.

[konekufpictures]

Charlatan? i.e. "a person falsely claiming to have a special knowledge or skill; a fraud. A quack."

Let's examine Maddow's credentials shall we?

A graduate of Castro Valley High School in Castro Valley, California, Maddow earned a degree in public policy from Stanford University in 1994. At graduation she was awarded the John Gardner Fellowship. She was also the recipient of a Rhodes Scholarship and began her postgraduate study in 1995 at Lincoln College, Oxford.

[konekufpictures]

(Maddow's credentials continued) In 2001, she completed her Doctor of Philosophy degree (styled a DPhil) in political science from the University of Oxford. Her doctoral thesis is titled HIV/AIDS and Health Care Reform in British and American Prisons. She was the first openly gay American to win a Rhodes scholarship.

As to "ratings", are you suggesting that truth and knowledge is based on Nielson Market Research?

[konekufpictures]

Lastly, you were correct to remove your other comment as the use of the word "albeit" was not applicable.

albeit: conjunction, although.

I was being complimentary and your response was to bring a twinkie to a gun fight!

[williamsivy]

I think they are trying to ride off the success of Slumdog....first Palin, then a black gop leader now this. Who do they think they are bambozzling

[NewChristianSoldiers]

President Obama to announce Press Conference tomorrow to SHOW HIS BIRTH CERTIFICATE to the American People!

watch?v=h_okpB6N-58

Obama, along with Senator Shelby, will also have 2 FBI document experts to make a statement to prove that his Birth Certificate his not a forgery and that he is a Natural Born Citizen.

Axelrod wants to put a stop to all of the lawsuits against Barack Obama over his citizenship issues. s

[revgetbread]

Jindal can kiss his Indian Paki crackhead curry shit face looking ass goodbye. He made a complete fool out of himself. As if the redneck of the racist ass south would fully accept his funny looking ass. Dude go to India and talk that funny shit to them. Your finished here. Peace. One. I'll holla, Uno, Later. Fuck off. Get lost. Beat it. Die. Suffer. Who cares just never show your face again. first Bush then Sarah Palin, Unka Michael Tom Steele and then this. LOL. Thanks. Fuck outta here.

[techno370]

LMFBAO......

[fulbert4605]

MSNBC's ratings continue to fall as they go further to the left. They obviously don't care that their ratings are falling since they proceed to go even further to the left. Ideology is the only thing people will ever put in front of their wallets.

[fluteman999]

what ratings are you looking at?

[trinidadhero]

mad cow is stupid, hey guys before you look at the speech, look at Mr Jindal record as governor, because of him , hurricane Gustav had less than 20 deaths, and look at the health system in the Louisiana, and look at the education and university system in Louisiana and tax models.

and in december only one state had a record of adding jobs in the whole entire states is lousiana.

google it and you will find the answer

so what you say madcow??

[rifleman522]

"I know I am paid to talk for a living"

We all know she is not paid to be unbiased and fair.

[4Barbudos]

The Slumdog Candidate should hop back on his magic carpet and get back to 7-11.

That or Microsoft tech support.

[rifleman522]

"Americans can do anything"

except make MSNBC a legitimate and unbiased "news network".

[PorterWashington]

Rachel simply rocks!

as for Jindal...what a dork! Is he supposed to be the next Republican horn to mess with the great BAMA? Yeah right...BAMA is even too much to handle for the entire party at the moment.

[MinatheAlleyCat]

was he reading a fairytale?

[1nd0nes1a]

Let's do this ... let's call Jindal at his office and tell him (or leave message) of how stupid he's response was. His office number is 225-342-7015 or 866-366-1121 (Toll Free) or you can also send him card or letter to PO Box 94004

Baton Rouge, LA 70804-9004

[dragonlancet]

If this guy JIndal is representing the future republicans, I suggest someone should arrange for the GOP funeral immediately. His retard looks and fake accents and lack of brain didn't prevent him from being a governor?

What a shock!!

[heddo1978]

He reminds me of an evil Mr rodgers. Did you see how he came in with that evil goofy look on his face?....creepy. Rachel is hot.

[yolowell]

An evil Mr. Rogers that works in IT tech support LOL

[UnwantedGlitter]

haha pull it together chris!!!!

[bomshizzle]

"Americans can do anything." Maybe if I had drool coming out of my mouth while being strapped to a hospital bed I would have been sold by that Dr.Seus speech. We need to elect the green party or some shit.

[awgu]

I am shocked at how bad these guys are. Shocked.

[LadyEbonee]

lol. i cosign that!

[BeantownJim]

Explain to me why they would get a indian govenor to talk about a state of the union speech? or for that matter anyone to give any rebuttal and orcomment.how politically correct this govt is!

[BeantownJim]

2 trillion dollars over the next 2 years plus 8% more for cost govt' spending Not to mention the ACLU and its pork stimulus You commie socialists are in for the fight of your lives i guarentee it

[3slimdog]

Gov Palin is Jindal speechwriter.

[Oban2006]

haha She got pwned!! What a lesbo gets...

[docwebstr]

Note to Republicans: You lost. Your policies are what got us into this mess and you got your wingnut asses roundly kicked because of it.

[bluekarma]

afriad not idiot. Clinton deregulated banking laws and it led to the mess we have in the bank and credit industry. And Clinton sat arounfd and ghot blown while Osama planned his attack on 9/11. Get it right fukknuts

[groenhagen]

Madcow is an airhead. Jindal noted Katrina as an example of how government SHOULD NOT respond to a crisis.

[ponyboy316]

Yeah, like Tim Taylor gave examples of how not to build something properly.

[AFPoggio]

Jindal's speach was very poor, but the way it was cover and commented on by these lefty loons was pathetic.

And this clowns are unbiased?? What a journalistic disgrace!!!!!! Who in their right mind watches these hacks? PMS-NBC.

PS. Advice to Rachel........ stay off the roids!

[rspawn]

Fake smile much, mr GOP-shoots-itself-in-the-foot-­again?

[gop19136]

ehhh, duh, ba ba.........it WAS NOT a State of the Union speech, a president doesn't give one in his first year in office. Whoever setup this speech and how it was delivered is to blame. Jindal is nowhere near as bad as he looks here, there's plenty of instances of that rght here on youtube. He's been a target of the libs for more then a couple years just as Obama has been a target of the right.

[PazPraSempre]

A State of the Union Speech is given every year.

[iwillspyonyou]

I think rachel had her head in obama's ass, that is why she was unable to talk.

[sevenelevenasst]

What a disgrace! Indians vehemently disown this freak who long ago disowned his heritage, parents and motherland. For how can one hope to lead if one is not even comfortable with who one is......proof? he does not use his given name, Piyush, and worse, his children do not use his "Indian" last name.

[TheDoodlibop]

I agree to this statement. When we were introduced to him, they had to make note of the fact that he converted to RC from Hinduism. If that was his conviction, perfectly fine, but why is it so necessasry to state? Just to make him more GOP-ish outside of his skin? Gosh, it's dreadful. I understand intergration, but completely abandoning your blood for the sake of another...abominable.

[norwegcat]

After the republicans fucked up the past 8 years - now they hope to straighten there act up with Jindal the hypocrite ...Good Luck!!!

[docwebstr]

Does it matter whether Jindal was or wasn't, Oh? So by way of disagreeing with Rachel's POV, you insult her supposed sexuality and can't even use proper grammar to do so, much less capitalization or punctuation. JIndal's response was stilted, ill informed at absolute best, and as robotic as it gets.

[poetx64]

Here is what is entertaining, Bubba: Seeing the Republicans add a little color to their GOP lineup (Steele, Jindal, etc.) to give the impression of diversity and youth, Jindal looking like he just walked out from using the toilet before giving his God awful lackluster response, Steele attempting to add a little 'off the hook' bling-bling to the RNC, and the Republicans trying to figure out if Palin, Rush, or Jindal should be their spokesperson. Now THAT'S Entertainment!

[thedecider1984]

what a fucking dyke
