Gregory: what’s wrong in Washington?
Plouffe: the GOP will do anything to protect
rich people
Gregory: let’s talk about the most important
issue in America - Solyndra
Plouffe: we need to fund green energy
Gregory: I don’t see why?
Plouffe: these loan programs are a good use
of government money Fluffy
Gregory: but should government play
venture capitalist?
Plouffe: well you play journalist
Gregory: good one Pluffy
Plouffe: anyway this was a Bush
administration program
Gregory: will you cooperate with a
Congressional subpoena?
Plouffe: yes - if it will create jobs
Gregory: is the President in a funk?
Plouffe: the President is totally funky!
Gregory: he seems depressed about
the election
Plouffe: we ended the Iraq, repealed DADT,
passed health care reform and killed
Osama bin Laden
Gregory: Saint Stephen of the Apple said
to Obama “you’re going to be a
one-term President”
Plouffe: he also created the Lisa
Gregory: blasphemer - Steve Jobs
was a god among men
Plouffe: we were almost in a Depression
when Obama took office
Gregory: how do answer the charge that
Obama did not create the iPod?
Plouffe: the GOP wants to repeal
environmental laws and lower taxes
on the top 1%
Gregory: who will the GOP nominee be?
Plouffe: does it matter - their policies
are all terrible!
Gregory: is Cain for real?
Plouffe: he’s really crazy - but that’s not a
barrier to getting the GOP nomination
Gregory: what about Mitt Romney?
Plouffe: Romney flip-flopped on laws of
abortion, gay rights, taxes and gravity
Gregory: is Obama down with
Occupy Wall Street?
Plouffe: even non-hippies are pissed off
at inequality Fluffy!
Gregory: so will Obama hold a drum circle
in the Rose Garden?
Plouffe: We love the free market but the
Republicans wants Wall street to write its
own rules - that didn’t go so well the first time
Gregory: thanks for coming Pluffer
[ break ]
Gregory: Panel I have noticed some people
like Obama and some don’t
Brokaw: Obama has found his voice ever
since the GOP went completely insane
Gregory: Obama went from Hope & Change
to Funkadelic
Granholm: Obama demonstrated for 3 years
that he was willing to compromise and
now he’s ready for a fight
Gregory: People think the country is on
the wrong track - why isn’t Obama doing worse?
Murphy: Plouffe owes Romney an apology for
calling him a flip-flopper
Gregory: but he is a flip-flopper
Murphy: but it’s not fair!!
Isaacson: I know Herman Cain personally
and he always seemed like a normal person
Gregory: really?
Isaacson: Cain has finally allowed America
to debate whether to give even more money
to the richest people in the country
Brokaw: the GOP is still trying to find a sane
candidate who they actually like
Gregory: that’s not going to be easy
Granholm: Mitt Romney has no principles at all!
Murphy: People love Cain because he is
definitely not from Washington
Gregory: New York Magazine tried to smear
Romney as a rich greedy capitalist slimeball
from Wall Street
Isaacson: that’s completely unfair -
Mitt Romney is from Boston
Brokaw: I was stunned by Cain’s smoking ad -
after all cigarettes do kill you
Gregory: real independent Americans don’t
let the nanny state tell you not to poison
yourself with cancer-causing chemicals
Murphy: that was pot Tom
Gregory: the great debate in America is
whether there is too much inequality or if
the rich are greatly suffering from a
graduated tax
Granholm: oh my fucking god
Murphy: Perry won’t commit to a flat tax -
pull the trigger cowboy!
Gregory: Tom you worry about a lack of
shared national purpose
Brokaw: the elderly’s message is
“I got mine screw you”
Gregory: old people really scare me
Brokaw: we need to make hard calls like
we did in World War Two - why won’t
someone attack America please!
Gregory: will our grandchildren lead better lives?
Brokaw: no of course not
Gregory: speaking of civic identity -
Steve Jobs created his own reality
Isaacson: they call it a reality distortion field
- kind of like watching Meet The Press
Gregory: why can’t Washington leaders
create reality like he did?
Isaacson: because we live in democracy Fluffy
Brokaw: Jobs had a great vision and also
a good idea which helps
Murphy: he thought long-term which is
rare in Washington or America for that matter
Isaacson: he didn’t care about quarterly
profits and look what he accomplished
Gregory: what is the lesson from
Steve Jobs’ life?
Isaacson: cut taxes for the rich and
raise them for the poor
Gregory: what do you think of
Steve Jobs Jennifer?
Granholm: there are people suffering
in this country and it’s not the rich
Gregory: America needs a rich weird
dickish dictator!
Brokaw: Labels are bad! Bipartisanship is good!
Murphy: Plouffe criticized Mitt Romney
for not having principles which is
not bipartisan at all!
Gregory: the poor appear to be getting restless
Isaacson: mister we could use man like
Andrew Jackson again
Brokaw: it’s true Romney is a flipper
but is he a flopper?
Murphy: Rick Perry is the real flip-flopper!

mainly watched by junkies

a deadly attack in Kabul
Tapper: one of the worst ever Christiane
Amanpour: too bad - now we have to stay
in Afghanistan forever
Tapper: of course
Amanpour: Cain is leading Iowa!
Karl: Herman Cain’s campaign videos
have dudes on horseback smoking
and chugging whiskey
Audience: yee ha
Perry: shoot I may skip debatin’ dang it
Audience: oh noe
Romney: I don’t talk about politics -
that’s for the people to decide
Karl: Hillary Clinton for President!
Amanpour: Michele Bachmann was the leader
and now no one cares about her - it will take
a miracle for her to get the nomination
Bachmann: I’m sitting right here
Amanpour: oh hai
Bachmann: I’m still running for President!
Amanpour: are you sure?
Bachmann: Remember Fred Thompson?
Amanpour: wasn’t he a bad actor on
some crime show?
Bachmann: I’m the tip of the spear!
Amanpour: Are concentrating all of your
efforts on Iowa?
Bachmann: not all - I’m also focused on
losing New Hampshire
Amanpour: how could you possibly recover
from losing Iowa?
Bachmann: I wrote one the few hundred bills
to repeal Obamacare!
Amanpour: as President would you declare
war on Iran?
Bachmann: I would be very different from
Obama on Iran
Amanpour: how?
Bachmann: by not taking my eye off the
Iran nuclear ball
Amanpour: that should take care of the problem
Bachmann: we should listen whenever an
insane person speaks!
Amanpour: Is that your campaign slogan?
Bachmann: Iran was going to blow up a
Washington DC restaurant where dozens of
expense accounts could have been damaged!
Amanpour: would you go to war with Iran or not?
Bachmann: oh no because it’s not in our
national interest
Amanpour: you would have left Qadaffi in power
Bachmann: Obama is a very sneaky muslim
who secretly wanted to overthrow that nice
man Qaddafi without telling Congress
Amanpour: how underhanded
Bachmann: there is great uncertainty in Libya -
why extremists could take power in Libya which
would be terrible!
Amanpour: so very little cost and no troops
killed - and you still say it wasn’t worth it?
Bachmann: yes because in Libya there is a
struggle for power - do we want someone good
and decent like Qadaffi or an extremist who might
use oil revenues to create a global Caliphate??
Amanpour: you said 59,000 Yemenis and Syrians
came instead of 11 people from Yemen which
seems slightly off
Bachmann: look if there is even one undocumented
immigrant that proves Obama is letting terrorists
into America
Amanpour: also Yemen is not a state
sponsor of terror
Bachmann: Yes but they are coming from
Mexico and I would a build a big fence
argle bargle!!
Amanpour: Are you soft on flat taxes?
Bachmann: the biggest problem in America is
that poor people in the U.S. are not paying
enough federal income tax
Amanpour: I see
Bachmann: I would abolish the federal tax code
and replace it with a a series of graduated
income tax rates
Amanpour: thank for that amazing interview
Rep. Bachmann
[ break ]
Amanpour: Can Herman Cain win?
Will: He’s ahead because no one in Iowa in

Armey: You can tell he’s authentic because
he’s so fucking weird
Amanpour: will the Tea Party endorse him?
Armey: don’t be ridiculous
Amanpour: why not?
Armey: I love my grandchildren!
Amanpour: you like Rick Perry?
Armey: we’ve known since 1984 that a flat tax
works and Rick Perry figured it out this week
Brownstein: who can stop Mitt Romney?

Goolsbee: if you can’t debate Romney you sure
as heck can’t debate Obama
Roberts: the debates are very shallow and
I love them
Brownstein: the debates help remind us who
the hell these people are
Amanpour: Rick Perry will let you choose
your own low taxes
Goolsbee: Rick Perry is the political equivalent
of the leisure suit
Amanpour: good one Austan
Goolsbee: they’re all fighting over who can
lower taxes on the rich the most!

******************************
Gregory: After eight years in Iraq we spent
$700 billion and lost have 4,000 lives -
should we really leave when things
are going so well?
Gregory: Also Qaddafi is dead and Mitt Romney
touched Rick Perry!
Gregory: Good morning Hillary - Republicans
say if we leave Iraq it could possibly turn violent
Clinton: oh noe!
Gregory: yes really!
Clinton: you know Fluffy Bush committed
to withdrawing troops at the end of 2011
Gregory: but he was an idiot
Clinton: true - but we are going to have a
mature relationship with Iraq - no more
spitballs, name-calling and not sharing
the back seat of the car
Gregory: don’t we endanger our great
success war with Iraq with the possibility of war?
Clinton: we’re leaving and that’s it
Gregory: but I’m scared of Iran
Clinton: Calm down Fluffy
Gregory: Isn’t it awful that Iran could
push Iraq around?
Clinton: that’s our job!
Gregory: right
Clinton: I’m kidding Greggers
Gregory: do you stand by your vote
authorizing invasion of Iraq?
Clinton: let’s not bicker about who wanted
to invade what country based on lies
Gregory: was the Iraq war worth it?
Clinton: Iraq is lovely free place now
Gregory: Isn’t it sad how Qaddafi was killed?
Clinton: yes there needs to be a thorough
investigation of how a feared dictator
somehow got killed by his long-oppressed people
Gregory: you said you would bomb anyone
in Pakistan who supports terrorism
Clinton: we Afghans are doing our part
and the Pakistanis need to as well
Gregory: that’s good
Clinton: we need to double our efforts
to kill any threats in any of the Stans
Gregory: Do you think the GOP candidates
can answer the 3:00 a.m. phone call?
Clinton: I will tell you this Fluffy - from
bin Laden to Alwaki to Qaddafi - I would
not fuck with Barack Obama
Gregory: ok
Clinton: I mean it David - we can’t take
a risk with this crop of morons!
Gregory: thanks for coming Hillary
[ break ]
Gregory: Ron Paul you would eliminate 5
cabinet departments and cut a trillion
dollars in spending
Paul: absolutely
Gregory: wouldn’t that cause a huge
amount of hardship?
Paul: no because the money would go
back to the people
Gregory: you would stop inspection
of nuclear plants?
Paul: well maybe not that
Gregory: oh well ok then
Paul: look I hate war and Social Security
Gregory: wouldn’t all those spending
cuts prevent economic recovery?
Paul: no because the government has taken
over the economy!
Gregory: would you abolish all student aid?
Paul: yes because most people should
not go to college
Gregory: even Rand?
Paul: especially him
Paul: I worked my way through medical
school participating in innovative medical
experiments and I turned out just fine
Gregory: clearly
Gregory: you would get rid of government’s
role in housing
Paul: yes because government prints money
and makes derivatives!
Gregory: but housing prices would go down
Paul: good!
Gregory: but I like my artificially expensive house
Paul: we bail out everyone and dump
debt on the people!
Gregory: what about pulling troops
out of Iraq?
Paul: we’re going to leave 15,000 CIA agents
and the Turks are working with Iran
Gregory: I didn’t know that
Paul: in other words we’re never leaving
Gregory: you would have left bin Laden alive!
Paul: no I would have killed him but I thought
prolonged occupation all over the world was stupid
Gregory: doesn’t the U.S. have a moral obligation
to help all people all over the world
Paul: No Fluffy - volunteers can handle
international conflicts
Gregory: what about the Drone Wars
Paul: they kill innocent people!
Gregory: what would you do if Iran invades Israel
Paul: pull your head out of your ass Fluffy
- Israel has 300 nuclear weapons!
Gregory: you said ‘taxation is immoral’
Paul: no ‘taxation is theft’
Gregory: I apologize
Paul: the government is not the boss of me!
Gregory: you want to get rid of Social Security
Paul: yes but I want to take care of the elderly
by cutting spending
Gregory: would you cut benefits?
Paul: no!
Gregory: so you would get rid of Social Security
but not cut benefits
Paul: yes because young people want to take
care of themselves right now until they get old
Gregory: you hate the debates
Paul: the entire world is falling apart and
we’re talking who is mowing Mitt Romney’s yard!
Gregory: is there no difference between
Romney and Obama?
Paul: Audit the Fed! Cut Social Security!
Cut a trillion dollars!
Gregory: wow
Paul: Occupy Wall Street and the Tea Party
agree - why is the government printing money?!?!
Gregory: thanks for coming doc
[ break ]
Gregory: Andrea Obama is taking credit just
because we’re leaving Iraq and freed Libya
without losing any troops
Mitchell: If leaving Iraq turns out to be a
good idea it will be because Bush agreed to
pull out but if it’s a mistake then it’s
all Obama’s fault
Brooks: Iran is very scary
Gregory: Obama has actually succeeded
in foreign policy
Ford: all well and good but Obama needs
to create jobs
Welch: I agree with Harold Ford
Gregory: the GOP debates are so exciting!
Mitchell: you would you hire any of these guys?
Brooks: these debates are just to prepare
Mitt Romney to face Barack Obama
Gregory: Jack you love Herman Cain
Welch: he’s crazy and his plan is insane but
I love his folksy charm and also he would
cut my taxes which is what America needs
Ford: Obama needs to learn from Herman Cain!
Welch: I re-agree with Harold Ford
Gregory: Can Obama win on taxing the rich?
Brooks: no because of Watergate
Gregory: I see
Brooks: Attacking the rich may help you
with fundraising but it won’t make you popular
Mitchell: Obama vs Romney will be our first
all-robot election
Gregory: how could Obama create jobs?
Welch: drill for oil and end all regulations
Gregory: I see
Welch: the jobs bill makes it illegal to discriminate
against unemployed people - that’s insane!
Ford: Obama is terrible because he keeps
attacking business - it’s so so sad
Welch: I re-re-agree with Harold Ford
Gregory: I see
Ford: we need to incentivize rich people
to spend their money!
Mitchell: what about Occupy Wall Street?
Ford: Fuck those dirty fucking hippies -
they’re ruining it for all of us
Brooks: Just cut taxes!
Welch: Obama should have proposed
Simpson-Bowles - that was awesome
Mitchell: yes if he had done that we would
all live in Merry Gumdrop Land where
all consumers are happy and the GOP would
not have threatened default on the debt ceiling
Welch: We need to take on China!
Brooks: who knows better about taking
on China than General Electric?
Gregory: what about foreign policy
Mitchell: the GOP candidates need to
persuade us they can handle foreign crisis
and so far that ain’t happening
Gregory: and that’s another episode of
Meet The Press

American defense policy

***********************
Gregory: Holy crap - Herman Cain is
leading for the GOP nomination
Audience: cripes
Gregory: who the fuck is this guy?
Cain: I’m sitting right here
Gregory: Hi - Herman you would raise
taxes on poor people and the middle class
and cut them for the rich
Cain: no because we will get rid of all
invisible taxes!
Gregory: oh my
Cain: companies will pay lower taxes and
pass those savings on to consumers
Gregory: would the middle class pay
more in taxes?
Cain: yes but more people would pay
less in taxes
Gregory: who would pay more in taxes?
Cain: people who buy things
Gregory: what about the elderly?
Cain: oh they would do very well
Gregory: why is that
Cain: they would pay no taxes on
their vast investments and complex
portfolio holdings
Gregory: under your plan people would
pay incredibly high state and federal sales taxes
Cain: that’s only true if you combine
state and sales taxes
Gregory: well I do combine them!
Cain: well don’t do that!
Gregory: that makes no sense!
Cain: you’re muddying the waters!
Gregory: Grover Norquist says you’re
creating new taxes
Cain: Who cares!
Gregory: How do you get this insanity
enacted into law?
Cain: the people will demand it!
Gregory: I find that hard to believe
Cain: talk to voters - they want 9-9-9!!
Gregory: you think there will be national
movement demanding lower taxes for the rich
and higher taxes on the middle class
Cain: Yes!
Gregory: What do you think of Occupy Wall Street?
Cain: Barack Obama caused the recession in 2007!
Gregory: you said liberals want to destroy America
Cain: yes by causing the recession
four years ago
Gregory: you think they did that on purpose?
Cain: yes because liberals want America to be weak!
Gregory: that’s an incredible claim
Cain: Fluffy why else would they go to the
trouble of building a time machine to go and
back to 2001 and make Bush look like a disaster?!!?
Gregory: you say stupid people are ruining America
Cain: yes - people are too much quick to insult
and vilify the other side!
Gregory: you don’t like to be called African-American
Cain: right - I’m not from Africa like some
Presidents I could mention
Gregory: you say your experience is
different from Obama
Cain: yes I'm really black and he made pizza
and he was rich and coddled and he’s part white
Gregory: Are we at war with Iran?
Cain: How should I know?
Gregory: what would you do about Iran
if you were President?
Cain: I would definitely consult other people
Gregory: like who?
Cain: John Bolton and Henry Kissinger
Gregory: Why those two
Cain: I do believe in diversity so I want to
hear from war criminals in all administrations
Gregory: are you a NeoCon?
Cain: that depends on what is a NeoCon?
Gregory: Should we have invaded Iraq?
Cain: yes because we prevented Iran from
attacking our land in Iraq
Gregory: how do you define victory
in Afghanistan?
Cain: our invasion of Afghanistan will be
victory when they can defend themselves
from invasion other countries
Gregory: what is your foreign policy philosophy?
Cain: I’m like Reagan I would be very clear
about putting troops in Lebanon until
I leave in a hurry
Gregory: you would not rely on Wise Men?
Cain: I might!
Gregory: you wrote in your book
"I will not rely on Wise Men"
Cain: In my defense a Wise Man wrote that for me
Gregory: you wrote we need an electrified fence
that will kill people
Cain: that was joke - get a sense of humor!
Gregory: what is your plan for illegal immigration
Cain: Shooting people!
Gregory: How about gay marriage
Cain: I don’t like gay people but people
in Vermont can do whatever the hell they want
Gregory: and abortion?
Cain: no abortions for anyone!
Gregory: not even for rape or incest?
Cain: of course not
Gregory: who’s your favorite Justice?
Cain: Clarence Thomas - he’s quietly brilliant
Gregory: where’s your wife?
Cain: protecting our traditional marriage Fluffy
Gregory: are you the front runner?
Cain: yes because people love my substantive
ideas like higher taxes for the middle class,
cutting social security and putting John Bolton
in charge of our foreign relations
Gregory: do you have enough money?
Cain: if you contribute $9.99 now you get a
bumper sticker in 30 minutes or less
Gregory: thanks for coming Herman
[ break ]
Gregory: Is Herman Cain real?
Todd: if he’s raising a million dollars a
week that’s amazing
Gregory: can he win?
Todd: he’s got a great elevator pitch
but no organization
Kay: I just watched your interview and I
can’t tell what the hell he’s talking about
Gregory: What about Mitt Romney?
Todd: he only has one problem -
no one likes him
Kay: he’s just got to split the conservative base
Gregory: and Rick Perry?
Todd: this race is Rick Perry’s to lose
and he’s losing it
Gregory: what about that guy
Barack Obama?
Kay: he has to remind people that the
GOP crashed the economy
Todd: Obama has to find positive things
to say about Rick Perry
Gregory: damn Obama can’t get a break
Gregory: Is Mitt Romney an untrustworthy
flip flopper?
Jindal: Perry fought to cut taxes in Texas
which was very hard
Gregory: Tim you said Mitt Romney can’t be
the nominee and now you endorse him
Pawlenty: Obama failed to cut the deficit in half!
Gregory: what about Romneycare
Pawlenty: He’s changed his mind -
what more do you want?
Gregory: will he change it again?
Pawlenty: if you want him to - yes!
Gregory: if the GOP primary voters
anti-christian?
Jindal: Rick Perry has made the tough decision
to send the national guard after a hurricane
Pawlenty: he can’t debate!
Gregory: Chris Christie thinks Rick Perry is
an inarticulate idiot
Jindal: CEO Magazine has endorsed him!
Jeffers: do we want a good moral person
or do we want Rick Perry?!?!
Pawlenty: Mitt Romney has never had a gay affair!
Jindal: we should not consider religious
in government - just consult the Bible on that
Gregory: thanks for coming
Gregory: save the date for a debate with all
Republican candidates, David Gregory and Facebook
Audience: truly an Algonquin Round table
of the 21st century
Gregory: and that’s another episode of

without Steve Jobs?
Emmanuel: Chicago is having a fuckin’
dance festival and it’s going to fucking
rock Fluffy!
Gregory: all right
Emmanuel: I said dance Fluffy! Dance for me
like I’m Karl motherfucking Rove!
Gregory: I’m dancing I’m dancing!
Emmanuel: we’re making schools, cops
and government accountable Greggers!
Gregory: How does Obama get relected?
Emmanuel: people want their fucking
dreams back!
Gregory: I hear you saying Obama will lose
Emmanuel: [ dangles Gregory out the window ]
if you can’t hear the concerns of ordinary
people then get the fuck out of public life!
Gregory: [ upside down ]
and I think we’ll just leave it there
[ break ]
Gregory: welcome President Ryan
Ryan: welcome to the Midwest Fluffy
Gregory: what about the Obama Jobs Bill?
Ryan: he won’t work with us even on
things we agree
Gregory: what do agree on?
Ryan: international trade agreements
Gregory: but he just sent them to you
Ryan: and we will vote on that next week
Gregory: so what are you complaining about?
Ryan: we need to lower corporate tax rates
Gregory: what about stimulating
the economy?
Ryan: we tried that already and it failed
Gregory: but the recession started
under Bush
Ryan: I was talking about Bush!
Gregory: so what’s your problem
with Obama?
Ryan: Obama is creating a ruckus
Gregory: could you describe the ruckus?
Gregory: Biden says the GOP wants to
do nothing
Ryan: not true - we want to work with
the White House on passing all our ideas
Gregory: what about other ideas?
Ryan: stimulus is just sugar high gimmicks
Gregory: aren’t tax cuts also just
sugar high policies?
Ryan: Bush was a big spending liberal!
Gregory: I did not know that
Ryan: Obama wants to tax 80% of all
small businesses at 50%!
Gregory: Austerity alone do not seem to be enough
Ryan: Bush spent trillions in stimulus!
Gregory: what is the answer?
Ryan: Certainty!
Gregory: “Hope and No Change”
Ryan: right!
Gregory: Herman Cain said “Blame Yourself”
- is that the GOP message?
Ryan: no we must do more to help rich
people get more rich so more people will
want to get more rich
Gregory: fascinating
Ryan: we can also go after rich people by
getting rid of Medicare
Gregory: interesting idea
Ryan: Obama is playing to fear -
the GOP would never do that
Gregory: But is ‘blame yourself’ divisive?
Ryan: we should not pit people against
each other - we should all get along and
give more things to rich people
[ break ]
Gregory: Can Obama work with Congress?
Biden: Look we can work with John Boehner
and Eric Cantor but the Tea Party shot them down
Gregory: I see
Biden: we need a strong Republican party
but they are disorganized and spend most
of their time fighting each other
Gregory: as a Democrat I’m sure you
can appreciate that
Biden: indeed
Gregory: If the GOP are inept can
they beat you?
Biden: sure we can be beaten - but I am
counting on the good judgment of
the American people
Gregory: good luck with that
[ break ]
Gregory: are you a do-nothing Congress?
Aaron Schock: we are not a do-nothing Congress
- the House GOP even wrote our very own budget!
Gutierrez: the Tea Party wants to burn
the House down!
Gregory: the race is between Romney,
Perry and Cain
Halperin: It’s always been between
Romney and NotRomney
Gregory: can NotRomney win?
Halperin: when the nation gets to know
Rick Perry’s life story people will love him
Gregory: why is Cain surging?
Halperin: there is a huge hunger for
someone really crazy and Cain fills that void
Gregory: What about Occupy Wall Street?
McLean: people say OWS is disorganized
but then so is Washington DC
Gregory: banks are greedy - who knew?
McLean: we need to talk about reforming
the entire financial system
Gregory: why are they demonizing Wall Street?
Gutierrez: Hey Fluffy - they got $700 billion
in tax money and in response they charge
you $5 to get access to your own money
Schock: the GOP has heard the concerns
of Occupy Wall Street and is responding
by attacking the EPA
Halperin: Obama needs to be nicer
to the big banks
Gregory: Some some say Mitt Romney
is in a cult
Halperin: only people who speak for Rick Perry
Gregory: why can’t the GOP choose a nominee?
Schock: hey Fluffy it’s only October -
We have plenty of time to settle on
lunatic to lose to Obama
Gregory: and that’s another episode of

Patrick: he says Government is there to
help people help themselves
Gregory: I see
Patrick: or how about this - Obama is on your side!
Gregory: Bob - I see Obama is starting
to call out Republicans
McDonnell: The election is about Jobs,
Debt and Kenya
Gregory: is that was the GOP debates
have been about?
McDonnell: not exactly
Gregory: The Wall Street Journal surveyed
CEOs and they’re not happy
Patrick: In Massachusetts we’re creating jobs
by investing in the future
Gregory: what about Obama’s jobs bill?
Patrick: it would help America which is
why it won’t happen
McDonnell: Obama is blaming the Tea Party
just because they wanted to default on our debts
Gregory: that’s too bad
McDonnell: Also Obama hates America
Patrick: where do you get off attacking
his patriotism?
McDonnell: Dodd-Frank caused the recession
which proves Obama doesn’t believe in the
good old U S of A
Gregory: you oppose Obamacare
McDonnell: this is going to be a campaign issue
because Americans don’t want health insurance
Patrick: in my experience a lot of people
like health care
Gregory: Chris Christie says we shouldn’t
demonize the rich by raising their taxes by 5%
McDonnell: people are begging Christie to run
because they are sure the GOP will take the
White House in 2012
Gregory: that makes no sense
Patrick: he won’t run because he doesn’t want
to lose to Obama
Gregory: Can Obama carry Virginia?
McDonnell: Virginia is a shining city on a hill that
gets gobs and gobs of federal money
Gregory: what about the Red Sox
Patrick: I haven’t see a collapse this bad since
Bachmann won the Iowa straw poll
[ break ]
Gregory: Christie said he would commit suicide
rather than seek the Republican nomination
for President
Murphy: that sounds about right
Noonan: the GOP base is primal
Dionne: the base keeps attacking its own candidates
Gregory: So the question about these candidates
is - Screw, Marry or Kill?
Becerra: whether to commit suicide is one
of the biggest decisions our candidates can make
Murphy: the GOP is drunk right now but they
will sober up and vote sensibly for Romney
Noonan: we can lose America in the next
three years if we don’t elect a true psychotic
Dionne: I believe we as a nation can pull this off
Becerra: you don’t want to lose Latino voters
believe me
Gregory: there are a lot of Hispanic voters
aren’t there?
Murphy: If Romney moves to Perry’s right on
immigration it’s going to hurt him against Obama
Becerra: the GOP is screwed with Latinos
Murphy: But Obama is screwed with the economy
Palin: there mere Presidency would shackle
my messaging
Dionne: she belongs on another planet
Gregory: She’s a kingmaker isn’t she?
Noonan: No Fluffy she’s a very cunning grifter
Murphy: Don’t underestimate Rick Perry
Gregory: can Obama win?
Dionne: he’s reached agreements with the GOP
and now he’s finally gone to the people with
what he believes
Gregory: Is Obama a fighter?
Becerra: Yes He Could - if the GOP
Wouldn’t Stop Us
Dionne: Bob McDonnell blamed Obama for not
making the Tea Party see reason
Noonan: a true leader would make Republicans
not act crazy
Murphy: he drove the GOP away by running as a
socialist by enacting a GOP health care reform law
Becerra: the Jobs Bill is full of Republican ideas!
Noonan: so Democrats won’t vote for it!
What a failed leader!
Gregory: what’s the deal with Occupy Wall Street
Dionne: Finally! An organized Left!
Gregory: Peggy you have to give Obama credit
for getting a deal with Boehner
Noonan: [ mixing cocktail ] sorry what?
Gregory: anyone have a problem with Obama using
a drone to kill an American?
Becerra: would rather he pushed him out a window?
Murphy: the Florida primary could decide
the nominee
Gregory: Let’s talk about Chris Christie some more
Murphy: why the hell not [ takes drink from Noonan ]
Gregory: Is Congress shut down for the next year?
Becerra: not at all - we plan on working almost

Amanpour: wow 700 people were arrested
protesting Wall Street and Obama loves
gay soldiers
Audience: oooh
Karl: the most electrifying event of the 2012
campaign is the effort to drag Chris Christie
into the race
Audience: that is exciting
Perry: if you are against illegal immigrants
you are heartless
Christie: screw the illegal kids
Perry: Chris is right - what as I thinking
Romney: you bet I flip-flop just like
Winston Churchill - first he was against
Hitler and then he was against communism
Palin: the Presidency would shackle me
Amanpour: Herman how did you get people
inside your head
Cain: People are looking for an uninformed
funny wacko
Amanpour: why didn’t you react when people
booed the gay soldier
Cain: no no they were saying “oooooh”
to his huge biceps
Amanpour: I see
Cain: at the moment I was not focused
on soldiers I was thinking about the weird
shit Rick Perry was saying
Amanpour: Obama said we shouldn’t
boo soldiers
Cain: maybe but Obama put a bulls-eye
on our soldiers backs so they could get

Amanpour: wow 700 people were arrested
protesting Wall Street and Obama loves
gay soldiers
Audience: oooh
Karl: the most electrifying event of the 2012
campaign is the effort to drag Chris Christie
into the race
Audience: that is exciting
Perry: if you are against illegal immigrants
you are heartless
Christie: screw the illegal kids
Perry: Chris is right - what as I thinking
Romney: you bet I flip-flop just like
Winston Churchill - first he was against
Hitler and then he was against communism
Palin: the Presidency would shackle me
Amanpour: Herman how did you get people
inside your head
Cain: People are looking for an uninformed
funny wacko
Amanpour: why didn’t you react when people
booed the gay soldier
Cain: no no they were saying “oooooh”
to his huge biceps
Amanpour: I see
Cain: at the moment I was not focused
on soldiers I was thinking about the weird
shit Rick Perry was saying
Amanpour: Obama said we shouldn’t
boo soldiers
Cain: maybe but Obama put a bulls-eye
on our soldiers backs so they could get
shot by Dick Cheney
