******************************
Gregory: Oooh the Final Countdown to election day - here’s the chair of the RNC!!!
Steele: hey-ooo!!!
Gregory: Mike is it true Republicans created a big mess and decided to obstruct Obama so the mess wouldn’t be fixed?
Steele: oh no Republicans wanted to tort reform
and Obama said no
Gregory: oh that is so sad!
Steele: Fluffy the GOP leaders tried to meet with Obama and he wouldn’t invite them to his
Superbowl party
Gregory: so are we looking at a massive
GOP sweep?
Steele: Greggers the excitement is off the hook!
it’s crazy!
Gregory: whoa that’s amazing
Steele: we’re taking the House - it’s on
it’s happening!
Gregory: I don’t want to throw cold water on your party but I can’t help but notice that you nominated
a bunch of lunatics for high office
Steele: look Chris we all make misstatements
Gregory: my name is David
Steele: see what I mean!
Gregory: right
Steele: you have to look into someone’s heart not whether they are a witch or hate gays or have never read the Constitution or wear a Nazi uniform
Gregory: is O’Donnell qualified for the U.S. Senate?
Steele: it’s snobbish and very elitist to insist that a Senator be able to read at a third-grade level
Gregory: Pelosi says the GOP is creating a plutocracy
Steele: Pluto?! Who cares about some damm
cartoon dog?!?!
Gregory: ok
Steele: don’t be high and mighty about disclosure - Nancy Pelosi should disclose what she says the GOP are not disclosing!
Gregory: are there secret organizations funding
GOP elections?
Steele: How should I know?!?! They’re secret!!
Gregory: well that seems like a problem
Steele: the law doesn’t require disclosure!
Gregory: well should it?
Steele: I love transparency so Nancy Pelosi should put up or shut and identify the secret funders
of GOP elections!!
Gregory: Eric Cantor says National Public Radio is captured by radical Islamic terrorists
Steele: Garrison Keillor may wear muslim garb -
who can say?? The man is on the damm radio!!
Gregory: a salient point indeed
Steele: look Juan Williams was expressing his own fear of muslim garb which is the same thing that
Tina Notenberg said about Strom Thurmond
Gregory: should we eliminate NPR?
Steele: I’m not interested in policy I just want to use this ridiculous issue to win elections
Gregory: can we win in 2012?
Steele: oh it’s gonna be incredibly exciting -
in 2 years the GOP is going to have a whole new crop of crazy people and delusional psychotics
to run for office!
Gregory: speaking of that - your tenure at the RNC has been one fiasco after another
Steele: look I’m a different kind of chairman - I’ve created a network of unqualified ignorant freaks all across this country
Gregory: thank you very much Mike
[ break ]
Gregory: so group what’s going on with the 2010 elections?
Brooks: voters hate everybody so the elections are all getting closer
Maddow: the country hasn’t changed ideologically in 2 years as exciting as all those tea partiers are
Gregory: Obama says America is scared and so people act irrationally
Santelli: that’s odd because all the rich people I know are very calm and happy
Dionne: Dems need a clear message embracing and even bragging about the stimulus and health care reform
Gregory: but as a nation we’re on the wrong track!
Ford: Obama and Democrats have to focus on jobs and growth and also do whatever Republicans want
Gregory: what about all these secret donations pouring into political campaigns and putting on confusing ads?
Brooks: it’s only important if you care about it corrupting our government - let’s talk about whether it affects the horse race!
Gregory: yeah!
Brooks: it’s only $12 million - who cares?
Dionne: hell yeah $200 million matters - why do you think corporations are spending this money just for the fun or it??
Maddow: we don’t know how much money is being spent by Karl Rove because it’s a fucking secret
Gregory: this is the law of the land - should it be changed?
Santelli: I’m a firm believer in process - for example we could have a process to buy and sell Senate seats on eBay
Gregory: Rick Santelli you are the Father of the Tea Party - and your candidates are mostly illiterate nuts and not even winning
Santelli: let’s not be snobs just because a candidate hasn’t read the First Amendment
Gregory: you’re joking
Ford: the problem is she celebrates her ignorance - on the other hand I’ve been on Capitol Hill those guys are not too bright either
Gregory: after all you were in Congress
Ford: exactly
Maddow: The 2010 election can be summed up in Nevada: Reid is very unpopular but will because Sharron Angle is crazy, violent and racist
Ford: look all politicians are corrupt and most are insane
Gregory: even Fortune magazine thinks the GOP plan is incoherent
Brooks: the people want their cake and eat it too - which the GOP has promised since 1980
Gregory: let us cry for Juan Williams
Dionne: a student of mine once listened to every hour of NPR for a whole week
Audience: dear god
Dionne: NPR is a good news organization and Fox
is a pure propaganda network
Gregory: perhaps
Dionne: they should have told Juan Williams to choose between NPR and Fox
Ford: oh poor poor Juan Williams!
Santelli: we just need to elect ignorant uninformed rabid anti-government Tea Partiers to make raising taxes popular
Maddow: that’s the single stupidest thing I have
ever heard in my entire life
Gregory: and that’s Meet The Press
