**************************************************
Gregory: holy crap 50 million people are
threatened by a superstorm - how does
this affect politics??
Roker: David this storm is 1,000 miles wide
and will probably destroy New York City
Gregory: is there any good news?
Roker: it’s headed straight to New Jersey
Gregory: whew!
Roker: also there will be tsunamis, rain,
and 100 mph winds
Gregory: good lord what else
Roker: we will probably be out of
power for roughly 15 years
Gregory: can be people still vote??
Roker: I vote to get the hell out of here
Gregory: did Obama send this storm to
steal this election?
Todd: no doubt he did
Gregory: Chucky use your expertise to
tell us what are the important states
Todd: forget what I think - look at where
the candidates are going this week -
that tell your everything
Gregory: but they changed their schedules
because of the storm on the east coast
Todd: shit I got nothing
Gregory: I talked to the campaigns and
they told both me they will win
Todd: Romney could pick up 8 million votes!
Gregory: that is so exciting
Todd: Romney can win Ohio, Iowa,
Colorado and Florida!
Gregory: oh my god!
Todd: but even if he does he still loses
Gregory: oh crap
Gregory: Rachel how is Obama making
the argument that you can’t trust Mitt Romney
Maddow: by saying that Fluffy
Gregory: Obama is so wily
Maddow: this week Romney is lying
about Jeeps and the Chinese
Gregory: on the other hand Romney
is arguing that Obama caused the
recession in 2008
Fiorina: you can’t trust Obama because
he hasn’t fixed the Bush recession and
Obama let the Libya consulate be attacked
for 7 hours while he played golf!
Brooks: both sides disappoint me by not
promising to crush the American people entirely
Dionne: Mitt Romney is a lying shape-shifter
- also he would have wrecked Detroit
Brooks: Obama has no second-term agenda
Dionne: yes he does
Fiorina: Romney was in favor of the
auto bailout - but he would have given
the money to bondholders and crushed the unions
Maddow: Romney said you can kiss
the auto industry goodbye if Obama’s
plan is followed
Fiorina: did you know companies that
didn’t need a bailout are doing well
Maddow: so what
Fiorina: so we should vote all for Romney
Todd: Romney wins coal miners
and Obama wins auto workers
Gregory: why is unemployment so low in Ohio?
Kasich: the job creators are so awesome!
Gregory: nice
Kasich: we have a lot of common sense here
Gregory: of course you do
Kasich: the auto industry is stupid
and useless anyway
Gregory: but 1 out of 8 jobs in Ohio
depend on cars
Kasich: look I love cars too but under
Obama we’ve also built up health care
and information technology
Gregory: cool
Kasich: let’s be fair - Romney did not
personally fire anyone in Ohio
Gregory: yes he did
Kasich: well then he didn’t kill anyone here
Gregory: that we know of
Kasich: true enough
Gregory: Mitt Romney says Jon Kasich
brought Ohio 10% unemployment
Kasich: Bush costs up 400,000 jobs
Gregory: please continue
Kasich: small business have a lot of
debt and won’t do anything until all
regulations are repealed and taxes cut
Gregory: good
Kasich: also we need to cut the
debt and cut taxes
Gregory: awesome
Kasich: it’s all very psychological - businesses
live in fear of non-commonsense regulations
Gregory: does Romney have any
core principles at all?
Kasich: Romney created jobs and
he is a job creator
Gregory: ok
Kasich: he is a Pure Leader®
Gregory: ok
Kasich: also he’s a job creator
Gregory: why should people vote for Romney
Kasich: look at the first debate!
Gregory: what about the other two debates?
Kasich: look at the first debate!
Gregory: can Ohio count the votes in one night
Kasich: yes because all independent votes
will deliver a blowout for Romney
Gregory: wow
[ break ]
Gregory: what about Ohio
Maddow: the GOP in Ohio is panicking
about unions and early voting
Brooks: white people are only voting for
Obama because of fracking
Maddow: Bobo I want access to the
hallucinogenic materials you regularly ingest
Brooks: Romney should have run as
the second coming of Mitch Daniels
Todd: what makes Ohio different from
all other states?
Gregory: bitter herbs?
Todd: bitter guys named Herb
Gregory: fascinating
Todd: Obama is winning white guys in Ohio
Dionne: because Kasich hates unions
Brooks: we all do
Dionne: Michigan is adding jobs and by the
way Republicans opposed the auto bailout
Fiorina: that’s not true - we just opposed
workers and favors lenders
Gregory: excellent
Fiorina: Republicans have a plan -
cut taxes and cut the deficit
Gregory: people like the growing economy
but people *feel* that the Obama
record is lackluster
Maddow: I *feel* in my gut that I
will be taking your jobs soon
Brooks: politics is dysfunctional and it’s
all Obama’s fault and also Mitt Romney
kind of sucks too
Gregory: welcome Governors your states
are of course tied as everything is everywhere
Walker: thanks for the invite Fluff
Gregory: Hicks why should I vote for Obama?
Hickenlooper: Republicans caused the
recession and Obama has turned the
U.S. economy around
Gregory: so you say
Hickenlooper: also Romney will cut taxes
for the rich and eliminate the tax
deduction for charity
Walker: no one cares that the GOP wrecked
the economy so many many years ago
Gregory: what else
Walker: Obama has no plan
Gregory: of course he does
Walker: Obama ruined the great
economy we gave him and
also the first debate
Gregory: what about the first debate?
Walker: first debate!!
Gregory: how can we cut taxes and
also cut the debt?
Walker: who cares about math - people want action!
Gregory: that is true
Walker: Obama will make my grandchildren poor
Gregory: I see
Walker: supply side economics works!
Gregory: excellent
Walker: in Wisconsin we went from 9%
unemployment to 7% !
Gregory: so did Obama nationally
Walker: see how terrible Obama is?
Gregory: governor don’t we have to cut Medicaid?
Hickenlooper: we can’t get anything done
with the Tea Party ruining everything
Gregory: do we have enough guns in America?
Hickenlooper: there are 120 million shotguns
in America - that’s probably enough
Walker: we need to stand with domestic
violence victims!
Gregory: thanks for coming guys
Gregory: coming up next the fight for
women and latino voters - who will
Rosie Perez vote for??
[ break ]
Gregory: candidates all over are fighting
for the women’s vote for example a GOP
Indiana Senate candidate got women’s
attention by saying rape is god’s will
Fiorina: Richard Murdock said a really stupid
thing but women don’t care about that -
they care about how Romney will give
them health care and how Obama
caused the recession in 2008
Maddow: this is the party in favor of forced
ultrasounds, redefining rape, banning
birth control - you can’t avoid this fight
with Paul Ryan on the ticket
Todd: Romney is more popular than
the Republican party and if he loses it will
be the fault of these crazy people
Fiorina: no fair - it will also be a
gaffe-prone candidate, a terrible
campaign, and idiotic spokespeople
Brooks: single women do not want weird
old men inside their vaginas and
I have no idea why
Dionne: Romney has running screaming
from the Tea Party but won’t separate
himself from Richard Murdock
Gregory: I have been paying close attention
to this race and I have no idea want
Romney or Obama stand for
Todd: Romney has an advantage because
he just has to convince people he is not a
sociopath while Obama has to prove has
not invented a time machine to cause past
recessions and he seems like a smarty-pants
who would hide a time machine if he had one
Fiorina: we have a clear choice between
someone who will bring back the economic
recovery under George Bush or Obama
who caused a recession four years ago
Maddow: that’s completely crazy
Fiorina: also Romney is bipartisan and
Obama could not work with the Republicans
Maddow: because Republicans refused
to work with Obama
Dionne: it’s political extortion
Fiorina: see how weak Obama is!
Gregory: and that’s another

************************************
Gregory: OMG the race is exactly tied!!
Todd: it’s a incredible coincidence that
the media is announcing the race is a tie
when a tie is also good for the media
Todd: Romney leads among men and
Obama leads with women but that’s
still good for Romney
Gregory: excellent
Todd: Romney leads in the South,
Obama in the East and the Midwest will
decide your next President
[ break ]
Gregory: Marco will Mitt Romney win Florida
Rubio: Obama has completely failed in the
last 72 hours to talk about his plan for the
next four years
Gregory: you are a noted expert in Iran -
should we do one-on-one negotiations?
Rubio: no one wants a war even though
they are really fun
Gregory: would Romney talk to Iran?
Rubio: we should only start a war with
Iran after sanctions have failed
Gregory: good
Rubio: Romney has a clear vision which
is Iran must not have a nuclear capacity
which will cause peace
Gregory: I was in Ohio his week
Rubio: I’m sorry to hear that
Gregory: suddenly Mitt Romney is
pro-contraception and pro-abortion for
rape and incest but supported the Blunt amendment
Rubio: this is not about contraception -
it’s about religious liberty
Gregory: so what is Romney’s policy?
Rubio: it has to be a legitimate religious exception
Gregory: what is that?
Rubio: you know a real religion
which is like legitimate rape
Gregory: So unelected bureaucrats would
decide whose religious beliefs are genuine
and which were not
Rubio: exactly - that’s what government
is for -- to decide which religions are real
like Catholcism and which are fake like-
Gregory: like Mormons?
Rubio: I was thinking of Lutherans
Gregory: would Romney sign a law banning abortion
Rubio: there is great diversity in the GOP
on this issue and Mitt Romney holds all those views
Gregory: have you seen any of these
binders full of women and do they have
a lot of recipes to rush home and make dinner
Rubio: Obama has totally failed to get
women jobs after the Bush recession!
What’s his plan! What’s his plan!
Gregory: does Romney think working
women should rush home to make dinner
Rubio: his record on women speaks for itself -
he’s never had an extra marital affair
Gregory: everyone knows that Medicare
is going broke
Rubio: of course it is
Gregory: why not offer your mother a
wonderful voucher for Medicare
Rubio: because my generation will have
great choices which my mother doesn’t deserve
Gregory: do you dislike her
Rubio: look she’s 81 and actually needs
Medicare unlike people who 30 years old now
Gregory: that makes sense
Rubio: where is the President’s plan to
voucherize Medicare?!
[ break ]
Gregory: is Obama going to talk to Iran
before we all go to war?
Axelrod: Obama has imposed withering sanctions
and brought the economy to its knees
Gregory: awesome
Axelrod: those wily Persians are feeling the heat
Gregory: cool
Axelrod: the world is unified against Iran
Gregory: the issue has been that Obama
said an attack on a consulate in Africa
could have more than one cause which as
we know is impossible
Axelrod: Fluffy you sound like an idiot
Gregory: Obama said he was destroyed
al-qeada and it looks like he didn’t
Axelrod: you said that last week and it wasn’t
true then either
Gregory: please continue David
Axelrod: Darrell Issa endangered the
lives of freedom fighters by revealing
classified information
Gregory: but he’s so wonderful
Axelrod: Paul Ryan tried to cut the state dept budget
Gregory: but how can White House change its
story about a riot in the middle of the night in
a foreign country just because new
information comes in??
Axelrod: I love you Fluffers
Gregory: does Obama have a plan for
the next four years?
Axelrod: yes - preventing the Republicans
from destroying America
Gregory: ok but what else
Axelrod: stop Romney from giving rich people
another five trillion dollars!
Gregory: Third Debate - The Final Showdown!
Axelrod: Romney is reckless and also kind of stupid
Gregory: that’s a little harsh
Axelrod: his Dukes of Hazzard Tour of
Great Britain was awful
Gregory: I always wanted to be Bo Duke
Axelrod: of course
Gregory: the race is 47-47 and Romney
leads in battleground states
Axelrod: NBC polls show Obama leading
in the swing states
Gregory: no! not true! It can’t be!
Axelrod: if you say so Fluff
[ break ]
Gregory: panel what really happened in Libya
Friedman: no one knows - people are not
easily categorized as terrorists or an
angry mob you know
Gregory: too bad
Friedman: thousands of Libyans marched
in favor of the United States of America
- that’s a good thing!
Gregory: but Obama claimed he destroyed
al-qeada and yet the FBI cannot get in there
and conservative magazines say
Obama is soft on terror
Myers: just as our intelligence has changed you
have become a greater moron over time
Gregory: but Peter King thinks Obama
is soft on terror
Cooper: get a grip on yourself Greggers
Murphy: Obama keeps putting our different
stories just because he gets new information
Gregory: Helene talk to me like I am an idiot
Cooper: I think I can do that
Gregory: thanks
Cooper: I’m concerned that America is not
very popular in Egypt and we’re not addressing
that in any meaningfully way
Friedman: Arab nations and Europe are both
failing and we are all interdependent which
means we’re all screwed
Gregory: but America is Number One!!
Murphy: who lost Egypt?
Gregory: should we go to war with Iran
Cooper: Obama has been pursuing talks
with Iran and now they are ready to talk
because things are really fucked up there
Friedman: he’s completely wrecked Iran’s
economy - he’s like a foreign policy George Bush
Murphy: America needs a ruthless bastard
and that’s the guy from Bain Capital
Gregory: Rob will Romney go to war with Iran?
Portman: Obama is totally soft on Iran
and hates our allies
Gregory: Romney loves allies?
Portman: oh yeah he’s all about working
with other countries
Gregory: Ohioans are being bombed
with advertising
Portman: I’ve been to a lot of Romney volunteer
offices and most people there plan to vote for
him which is very encouraging
Gregory: Presidents Alan Simpson and
Erskine Bowles say Romney’s plan doesn’t add up
Portman: he will look at deductions and exemptions
Gregory: which ones?
Portman: never mind that - at least Romney has an unworkable plan - Obama has no plan
Gregory: no?
Portmna: Obama he wants to do in the next
four years when he did in the last four years
Gregory: well then that is a plan
Portman: he has a bad no plan!
Greg: thanks for coming Robbers
Gregory: panel what do women want?
Myers: Binders Full of Men
Gregory: nice
Myers: why did Romney need those binders
and why did he lie about it?
Gregory: Romney is doing better with women!
Murphy: I can’t remember any men who ever
worked with Romney
Gregory: they must have been very boring
Murphy: Romney was elected Governor
what does that tell you
Gregory: should working women rush home
to make my dinner
Copper: oh my god
Gregory: but isn’t Mitt Romney right about everything?
Friedman: yes
Gregory: super
Friedman: Obama should run this time as
the first ever white President who is also black
Gregory: who is winning this race?
Murphy: if Romney were doing better he
would definitely win
Myers: Obama is strong on the ground

Cooper: should we start a trade war with
China or Palestine

carbon-based life forms
Gregory: that’s an easy one for Mitt Romney
Gregory: liberal George McGovern has died and

Stephanopoulos: Hi Rahm
Emmanuel: hey Stephy
Stephanopoulos: OMG by an incredible
coincidence the race is exactly tied
Emmanuel: sure it is
Stephanopoulos: Romney says Obama
has no vision or plan for the next four years
which I must assume is true
Emmanuel: it isn’t dipshit
Stephanopoulos: what is Obama’s plan
Emmanuel: end the wars, invest in America,
and raise taxes on the obscenely rich
Stephanopoulos: but that’s boring
Emmanuel: shut up twerp
Stephanopoulos: but Obama has been a failure
Emmanuel: the economy was near collapse
and now we’ve added 5 million jobs
Stephanopoulos: but-
Emmanuel: we’re doing medical research
and building airport runways
Stephanopoulos: but-
Emmanuel: Romney will crush the middle class
Stephanopoulos: let’s talk about foreign-
Emmanuel: I will cut you bitch!
Stephanopoulos: President Issa is
worried that the Libyan civil war is
not entirely peaceful place
Emmanuel: Darrell Issa put freedom-loving
Libyans at risk and the people who did this
will be brought to justice
Stephanopoulos: you mean Obama will go
after the terrorists
Emmanuel: is that what I said
Stephanopoulos: are we going to have
direct talks with Iran?
Emmanuel: when Bush was President
Iran had America isolated and now the
tables have been fucking turned motherfucker
Stephanopoulos: but direct talks-
Emmanuel: Obama’s steady leadership
has crippled Iran’s economy
Stephanopoulos: but what about-
Emmanuel: we need to strengthen our
economy here at home!
Stephanopoulos: thanks for coming Rahm
Emmanuel: screw you punk
Stephanopoulos: welcome Marco - is Rahm right
should we invest in America?
Rubio: no we can’t afford it
Stephanopoulos: too bad
Rubio: Obama has no plan
Stephanopoulos: Axelrod just said he was wants
to invest in infrastructure
Rubio: sure he wants to build bridges
but he has no plan
Stephanopoulos: Isn’t Florida’s progress proof
that Obama is doing a good job
Rubio: no because Obama is crushing the
American economy except in Florida
Steph: so why is the economy growing in Florida
Rubio: imagine if we repealed Obamacare -
then Florida we would be doing really really well!
Stephanopoulos: Obama says Romney has
Romnesia which causes flip-flopping and hypocrisy
Rubio: that’s fine but Obama never talks
about cutting Medicare
Stephanopoulos: does Romney support the
Lilly Ledbetter law - yes or no
Rubio: equal rights only helps trial lawyers
who help people get their rights unlike
corporations who can’t afford fancy lawyers
Stephanopoulos: it appears your earpiece stopped
working when I asked that question about
Lilly Ledbetter and is now suddenly working again
Rubio: mirable dictu!
Stephanopoulos: should we go to war with Iran?
Rubio: Obama hates democracy so Iran’s
leaders are building a nuclear bomb
[ break ]
Stephanopoulos: Obama won the last debate
but of course Mitt Romney still has the momentum
Dowd: no the President still has a slight advantage
Stephanopoulos: no no no stop talking!!
Reed: the second debate is irrelevant
- Romney is still winning
Stephanopoulos: thank you sir!
Susteren: women are turned off by all the fighting
Jones: of course the race is tied
Stephanopoulos: under the Laws of Journalism
it must be
Dowd: yes
Stephanopoulos: independents and women are
turning to Romney
Dowd: women may yet decide this election
Stephanopoulos: incredible
Dowd: this race is just like 2004 when Bush
lost the debates and then fell behind
and came back to win
Reed: yes but in 2004 no American was poor
because Bush had not yet caused a recession
Jones: the good thing about women is that
they can tell when a man is lying to them
Susteren: Obama’s had four years to fix
Bush’s mess - time’s up!
Wasserman: Romney thinks of women as binder-fillers
Susteren: oh well they’ve heard worse
Reed: Mitt Romney has been very clear
on not having a position on the Lilly Ledbetter law
Stephanopoulos: there you have it

Stephanopoulos: but that’s boring
Emmanuel: shut up twerp
Stephanopoulos: but Obama has been a failure
Emmanuel: the economy was near collapse
and now we’ve added 5 million jobs
Stephanopoulos: but-
Emmanuel: we’re doing medical research
and building airport runways
Stephanopoulos: but-
Emmanuel: Romney will crush the middle class
Stephanopoulos: let’s talk about foreign-
Emmanuel: I will cut you bitch!
Stephanopoulos: President Issa is
worried that the Libyan civil war is
not entirely peaceful place
Emmanuel: Darrell Issa put freedom-loving
Libyans at risk and the people who did this
will be brought to justice
Stephanopoulos: you mean Obama will go
after the terrorists
Emmanuel: is that what I said
Stephanopoulos: are we going to have
direct talks with Iran?
Emmanuel: when Bush was President
Iran had America isolated and now the
tables have been fucking turned motherfucker
Stephanopoulos: but direct talks-
Emmanuel: Obama’s steady leadership
has crippled Iran’s economy
Stephanopoulos: but what about-
Emmanuel: we need to strengthen our
economy here at home!
Stephanopoulos: thanks for coming Rahm
Emmanuel: screw you punk
Stephanopoulos: welcome Marco - is Rahm right
should we invest in America?
Rubio: no we can’t afford it
Stephanopoulos: too bad
Rubio: Obama has no plan
Stephanopoulos: Axelrod just said he was wants
to invest in infrastructure
Rubio: sure he wants to build bridges
but he has no plan
Stephanopoulos: Isn’t Florida’s progress proof
that Obama is doing a good job
Rubio: no because Obama is crushing the
American economy except in Florida
Steph: so why is the economy growing in Florida
Rubio: imagine if we repealed Obamacare -
then Florida we would be doing really really well!
Stephanopoulos: Obama says Romney has
Romnesia which causes flip-flopping and hypocrisy
Rubio: that’s fine but Obama never talks
about cutting Medicare
Stephanopoulos: does Romney support the
Lilly Ledbetter law - yes or no
Rubio: equal rights only helps trial lawyers
who help people get their rights unlike
corporations who can’t afford fancy lawyers
Stephanopoulos: it appears your earpiece stopped
working when I asked that question about
Lilly Ledbetter and is now suddenly working again
Rubio: mirable dictu!
Stephanopoulos: should we go to war with Iran?
Rubio: Obama hates democracy so Iran’s
leaders are building a nuclear bomb
[ break ]
Stephanopoulos: Obama won the last debate
but of course Mitt Romney still has the momentum
Dowd: no the President still has a slight advantage
Stephanopoulos: no no no stop talking!!
Reed: the second debate is irrelevant
- Romney is still winning
Stephanopoulos: thank you sir!
Susteren: women are turned off by all the fighting
Jones: of course the race is tied
Stephanopoulos: under the Laws of Journalism
it must be
Dowd: yes
Stephanopoulos: independents and women are
turning to Romney
Dowd: women may yet decide this election
Stephanopoulos: incredible
Dowd: this race is just like 2004 when Bush
lost the debates and then fell behind
and came back to win
Reed: yes but in 2004 no American was poor
because Bush had not yet caused a recession
Jones: the good thing about women is that
they can tell when a man is lying to them
Susteren: Obama’s had four years to fix
Bush’s mess - time’s up!
Wasserman: Romney thinks of women as binder-fillers
Susteren: oh well they’ve heard worse
Reed: Mitt Romney has been very clear
on not having a position on the Lilly Ledbetter law
Stephanopoulos: there you have it

Guests:
Gov. Bob McDonnell (R-VA)
Fmr. Gov. Jennifer Granhom (D-MI)
Mayor Kasim Reed (D-Atlanta)
Tom Brokaw
Alex Castellanos
Stephen Colbert
***********************************************
Gregory: OMG Joe Biden rolled his
eyes during the debate
Gregory: Welcome Bob now give
me some spin
McDonnell: Obama has only created
millions of new jobs in Virginia
- he must be fired
Gregory: I’ve been reading a lot of
right-wing magazines
Granholm: how shocking
Gregory: and they all say Romney is winning
Granhom: we have the lowest
unemployment in four years,
consumer confidence is up, the
strong housing numbers
- we can’t go back Fluffy
Brokaw: Republicans think Joe
Biden was over-the-top
Gregory: that’s all you really
need to know
Brokaw: Obama will probably lose
Gregory: excellent
Brokaw: but Bruce Springsteen and
Bill Clinton are campaigning for Obama
- the Boss and the Big Dog could help
Castellanos: Mitt Romney shook the
etch-a-sketch and lied a lot which
has helped him very much
Gregory: that’s good news
Castellanos: Obama has no campaign
now that Romney is pretending
to be someone else
Gregory: Biden was so dismissive of young
Master Ryan I think he was on drugs
Reed: Biden is authentic and Romney
is a total phony
McDonnell: Biden said the middle class
has gotten buried for the past four years
and Biden has been in charge for the past for years
Gregory: Obama caused the recession?
McDonnell: we must pay off the debt!
Gregory: we have got to resolve the debt
issue by both sides in the next few weeks!
Brokaw: both sides have failed to make
the American people suffer enough
Gregory: good point
Brokaw: Obama must level with the
people about the need to inflict pain
on the middle class
Reed: criminy Romney has said he will
not raise taxes at all
Gregory: yes he will - just only on poor people
Castellanos: all we have to do is cut
taxes for rich people and everything
will be fine
Reed: you’re crazy
Brokaw: rich people really want to pay
more taxes but they justifiably insist on
poor people suffering first
Gregory: rich people are pure
non-ideological saints
Brokaw: they are so wonderful
Gregory: Biden said they didn’t know
the Libya embassy wanted more security
Granholm: the one in Tripoli but not
the one in Benghazi
McDonnell: we should not politicize
such attacks but I will just say that
Obama has weakened America and
will destroy our military which also
creates jobs in Virginia
Gregory: that is a perfect answer
Brokaw: how could Obama not know
that al-qaeda was going to attack
our consulates?
Castellanos: we need the world to
perceive that a President is strong -
the world looks at Obama sees weakness
which is why al-qaeda attacked a
consulate in Libya
Reed: George Bush a weak President
who invited an attack in 2001 and
Barack Obama killed Osama bin Laden
Gregory: The Big Dog was happy to
Ol’ Moderate Mitt
Clinton: where has this fake moderate been?
Gregory: is Romney the biggest
flip-flopper in history?
McDonnell: no because energy prices
have doubled under Obama
Gregory: that isn’t true
McDonnell: look Romney is a competent
white guy - just elect him already!
Granholm: Romney is a Trojan horse -
with little tiny necon soldiers inside him
Castellanos: Romney is essentially
a moderate who doesn’t drink caffeine
- how awesome is that
Reed: Romney is fleeing the right-wing
but he still believes cutting taxes
for the rich solves all problems
Brokaw: the debates have
reenergized the country
Greg: that is so true if you live
in the Beltway Zone
Brokaw: the challenge for the debates
will be for Obama to stop being so
terrible and Romney to point out
how Obama is terrible
Gregory: nice
Brokaw: the American people want
tough truth telling about how we
must cut public pensions
Gregory: this next debate is a town hall
format where random idiots get to ask
the President what kind of underwear they like
Castellanos: finally a substantive debate
Brokaw: Romney must find a connect
with human beings and Barack Obama
must finally put out a detailed plan
Gregory: like his year-old American Jobs Act?
Brokaw: harrumph
[ break ]
Gregory: Stephen welcome to Meet The Press
Colbert: I would love to meet the press -

Colbert: yes but I would only
do it in character
Greg: why did you do that
Colbert: to expose Congress as
a very silly place
Gregory: did they really need you to do that
Colbert: well anyway it was fun
Gregory: you made your own Super PAC
Colbert: I made a Super PAC by
accident to spoof the lack of rules
in political fundraising
Gregory: like me you cover the news
Colbert: Jon Stewart deconstructs
the news and I reconstruct the news
Greg: to spoof the absurdity of politics
Colbert: there is so little
trustworthy in the news
Gregory: why do young people
trust you to get the news instead of me
Colbert: you have to ask Fluffy
Gregory: pretend I'm not very bright
Colbert: I'll do my best
Gregory: thanks
Colbert: comedy makes you stop and
listen and think for a minute
Gregory: you wrote a book
Colbert: I wanted to write about how America
is the greatest nation of all time and
also we’re doomed
Gregory: why did you write another book
Colbert: why did the Bible need
another testament?
Gregory: does this election matter
Colbert: it’s hard to say Romney
seems sincere as a moderate and
also seems sincere a conservativehttp://
Gregory: that is true
Gregory: panel what lesson should politicians
take from Stephen Colbert
Reed: politicians and the media need to learn
to stop being such phonies

McDonnell: whoever can spend government
money to bring jobs to Virginia and
lower gas prices
Granholm: who do you trust to fight to
for the middle class - the guy with a
single mother or the guy with a dancing
horse and a Swiss bank account who’s
been rich and privileged his whole life

episode of Meet The Press

Mike Murphy
Hillary Rosen
Chuck Todd
Arnold Schwarzenegger
*************************************
Gregory: the debate was bad
for Obama but unemployment
has dropped to 7.8%
Gingrich: this is the most fascinating
election in American history
Gibbs: we dug out of the enormous
hole we were in we’ve now
been adding jobs for 2 years
Gregory: Romney has been bashing
the President for not going under 8%
Murphy: good point but do people
feel better about the economy?
Gregory: actually they do
Todd: things are going well in
Ohio in Virginia - do voters want to
repeal everything Obama did and go back
Rosen: who do you trust to restore
America to mediocrity?
Murphy: Wednesday night 80 million
people fell in love with Romney
Gingrich: the average American
wants cheap gas
Gibbs: cripes - we were losing
800,000 jobs per month and we’ve
been adding jobs for 31 months
Gregory: but things are still bad
Gibbs: now Romney wants to give
Wall Street a kiss and crush Sesame Street
Murphy: Obama seemed tired and
Romney was energized and full of ideas
Gibbs: he wished away his entire
platform and pretended he wasn’t
going to cut taxes for the richest Americans
Murphy: you ignore all the loopholes
he’s going to cut
Gibbs: what loopholes!?
Gregory: Jack Welch made an
unsubstantiated claim which I will now
repeat that Obama’s thugs
manipulated labor statistics
Gingrich: Jack Welch instantly reacted
to good news by assuming Obama
is a criminal - this proves that
Obama is a bad President
Todd: this is absolutely fucking crazy -
this instant resort to insane conspiracy
theories is bad for America
Gibbs: Welch embarrassed himself like
some birth certificate weirdo - batshit
nonsense like this is wrecking America
Gingirch: but it’s out there
Todd: the media elevate every rich
weirdo with a nutty theory like
Donald Trump - it’s go to stop
Gregory: but I love him
Gingrich: I spoke to every small
business person in America and
they all hate Obama
Gregory: so where was Obama
during the debate
Gibbs: Romney ran away from
his own plan - he embraced teachers
and pretended he wouldn’t cut taxes
Gingrich: why didn’t Obama just call
Romney a liar - that always worked for me
Gregory: but you lost
Gingrich: I’m here aren’t I
Gregory: will Romney cut taxes
for the rich, close loopholes or
explode the deficit?
Rosen: two out of three ain’t bad
Murphy: Obama has failed to
cut the debt
Gregory: that is so sad
Rosen: which is more important
- style or substance?
Todd: Style!
Murphy: style!
Gingrich: Obama used to have great style
Murphy: what is Obama’s vision for America
Rosen: Romney just wants to be elected
Gibbs: how can anyone trust him?
Gregory: I spoke to the Oracle Simpson-Bowles
and they say Romney’s plan doesn’t add up
Gingrich: Romney has a plan to cut the
debt by selling federal land to British Petroleum
Murphy: what could go wrong?
Gingrich: Romney was very very clear
- he promised never to cut taxes for the rich
Gibbs: in the primaries he promised
to cut taxes for the rich
Gingrich: well then clearly he lied!
Gregory: what does Obama have to
do in the next debate
Gibbs: call Romney a fucking liar to his face
Gregory: who wins the election?
Todd: Republicans are very enthusiastic
about beating Obama and the kids
just don’t care
Gregory: what else
Todd: old people are wild about
Romney and Hispanics are apathetic
Gregory: David Brooks says Obama
should be more passionate
Rosen: Obama is passionate about
solar panels, testing kids, and
implementing Romneycare
Gregory: no wonder people Democrats
are so enthusiastic
Rosen: he also likes gay people
Gregory: we all do
Murphy: Obama keeps attacking
Romney - it’s so sad
Gingrich: we should eliminate Obamacare
to pay for tax cuts for the rich
Gingrich: Romney will drill in for oil in Ohio!
Gregory: how about the Vice President debates
Gibbs: Ryan will probably lie a lot
Gingrich: Ryan will be respectful
Todd: Recall Bentsen-Quayle and
Cheney-Edwards - the old guy always win
Rosen: Paul Ryan is too proud to
disavow Ayn Rand and his budget cuts
[ break ]
Gregory: welcome Arnold
Schwarzenegger: thanks vluffy
Gregory: can Romney still win the elections?
Schwarzenegger: yes maybe hey
you never know
Gregory: I love your post-partisanship
Schwarzenegger: yes it works when
the parties work together do want like
when Reagan worked for three years
to reform social security
Gregory: you appeal to non-English speakers
Schwarzenegger: McCain-Kennedy had a
great immigration plan and the GOP says
we can’t tackle this because there is an
election coming up - hello - that’s how
you win elections
Gregory: I see
Schwarzenegger: soldiers risk their lives
and politicians are afraid to lose an election
- our politicians need more balls!
Gregory: you humiliated your wife
- have you lost all political credibility
Schwarzenegger: no - but I will continue
the acting and the political stuff and
the personal relationships
Gregory: do you have good character
Schwarzenegger: I think so
Gregory: really
Schwarzenegger: read my book
Gregory: are you a sympathetic person
Schwarzenegger: I’m a lover and a fighter
Gregory: you are
Schwarzenegger: I am inspirations and
a visionary but I have a dark side so
people should make up their own mind
Gregory: what lessons would you
like your sons to learn from you
Schwarzenegger: Maria is a great mother
Gregory: but what lessons
Schwarzenegger: I am an inspiration
Gregory: you pretended your earpiece
wasn’t working when you were asked
about your tax returns
Schwarzenegger: ha that was hilarious
Gregory: will you run for office again
Schwarzenegger: As Governor I wanted
to achieve many things and will work to
achieve those things
Gregory: what do we think panel
Rosen: I’m appalled
Murphy: he’s a good friend of mine
Todd: I love politics because of
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Gingrich: of course Arnold has no credibility
but he is what makes America great -
an immigrant bodybuilder tuned action star
turned rich guy marrying a Kennedy running
the largest state then having a child with
the maid and writing a book about it and
retiring to an institute at an elite university
Gregory: and that’s another episode
of Meet The Press

Gregory: Romney has been bashing
the President for not going under 8%
Murphy: good point but do people
feel better about the economy?
Gregory: actually they do
Todd: things are going well in
Ohio in Virginia - do voters want to
repeal everything Obama did and go back
Rosen: who do you trust to restore
America to mediocrity?
Murphy: Wednesday night 80 million
people fell in love with Romney
Gingrich: the average American
wants cheap gas
Gibbs: cripes - we were losing
800,000 jobs per month and we’ve
been adding jobs for 31 months
Gregory: but things are still bad
Gibbs: now Romney wants to give
Wall Street a kiss and crush Sesame Street
Murphy: Obama seemed tired and
Romney was energized and full of ideas
Gibbs: he wished away his entire
platform and pretended he wasn’t
going to cut taxes for the richest Americans
Murphy: you ignore all the loopholes
he’s going to cut
Gibbs: what loopholes!?
Gregory: Jack Welch made an
unsubstantiated claim which I will now
repeat that Obama’s thugs
manipulated labor statistics
Gingrich: Jack Welch instantly reacted
to good news by assuming Obama
is a criminal - this proves that
Obama is a bad President
Todd: this is absolutely fucking crazy -
this instant resort to insane conspiracy
theories is bad for America
Gibbs: Welch embarrassed himself like
some birth certificate weirdo - batshit
nonsense like this is wrecking America
Gingirch: but it’s out there
Todd: the media elevate every rich
weirdo with a nutty theory like
Donald Trump - it’s go to stop
Gregory: but I love him
Gingrich: I spoke to every small
business person in America and
they all hate Obama
Gregory: so where was Obama
during the debate
Gibbs: Romney ran away from
his own plan - he embraced teachers
and pretended he wouldn’t cut taxes
Gingrich: why didn’t Obama just call
Romney a liar - that always worked for me
Gregory: but you lost
Gingrich: I’m here aren’t I
Gregory: will Romney cut taxes
for the rich, close loopholes or
explode the deficit?
Rosen: two out of three ain’t bad
Murphy: Obama has failed to
cut the debt
Gregory: that is so sad
Rosen: which is more important
- style or substance?
Todd: Style!
Murphy: style!
Gingrich: Obama used to have great style
Murphy: what is Obama’s vision for America
Rosen: Romney just wants to be elected
Gibbs: how can anyone trust him?
Gregory: I spoke to the Oracle Simpson-Bowles
and they say Romney’s plan doesn’t add up
Gingrich: Romney has a plan to cut the
debt by selling federal land to British Petroleum
Murphy: what could go wrong?
Gingrich: Romney was very very clear
- he promised never to cut taxes for the rich
Gibbs: in the primaries he promised
to cut taxes for the rich
Gingrich: well then clearly he lied!
Gregory: what does Obama have to
do in the next debate
Gibbs: call Romney a fucking liar to his face
Gregory: who wins the election?
Todd: Republicans are very enthusiastic
about beating Obama and the kids
just don’t care
Gregory: what else
Todd: old people are wild about
Romney and Hispanics are apathetic
Gregory: David Brooks says Obama
should be more passionate
Rosen: Obama is passionate about
solar panels, testing kids, and
implementing Romneycare
Gregory: no wonder people Democrats
are so enthusiastic
Rosen: he also likes gay people
Gregory: we all do
Murphy: Obama keeps attacking
Romney - it’s so sad
Gingrich: we should eliminate Obamacare
to pay for tax cuts for the rich
Gingrich: Romney will drill in for oil in Ohio!
Gregory: how about the Vice President debates
Gibbs: Ryan will probably lie a lot
Gingrich: Ryan will be respectful
Todd: Recall Bentsen-Quayle and
Cheney-Edwards - the old guy always win
Rosen: Paul Ryan is too proud to
disavow Ayn Rand and his budget cuts
[ break ]
Gregory: welcome Arnold
Schwarzenegger: thanks vluffy
Gregory: can Romney still win the elections?
Schwarzenegger: yes maybe hey
you never know
Gregory: I love your post-partisanship
Schwarzenegger: yes it works when
the parties work together do want like
when Reagan worked for three years
to reform social security
Gregory: you appeal to non-English speakers
Schwarzenegger: McCain-Kennedy had a
great immigration plan and the GOP says
we can’t tackle this because there is an
election coming up - hello - that’s how
you win elections
Gregory: I see
Schwarzenegger: soldiers risk their lives
and politicians are afraid to lose an election
- our politicians need more balls!
Gregory: you humiliated your wife
- have you lost all political credibility
Schwarzenegger: no - but I will continue
the acting and the political stuff and
the personal relationships
Gregory: do you have good character
Schwarzenegger: I think so
Gregory: really
Schwarzenegger: read my book
Gregory: are you a sympathetic person
Schwarzenegger: I’m a lover and a fighter
Gregory: you are
Schwarzenegger: I am inspirations and
a visionary but I have a dark side so
people should make up their own mind
Gregory: what lessons would you
like your sons to learn from you
Schwarzenegger: Maria is a great mother
Gregory: but what lessons
Schwarzenegger: I am an inspiration
Gregory: you pretended your earpiece
wasn’t working when you were asked
about your tax returns
Schwarzenegger: ha that was hilarious
Gregory: will you run for office again
Schwarzenegger: As Governor I wanted
to achieve many things and will work to
achieve those things
Gregory: what do we think panel
Rosen: I’m appalled
Murphy: he’s a good friend of mine
Todd: I love politics because of
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Gingrich: of course Arnold has no credibility
but he is what makes America great -
an immigrant bodybuilder tuned action star
turned rich guy marrying a Kennedy running
the largest state then having a child with
the maid and writing a book about it and
retiring to an institute at an elite university
Gregory: and that’s another episode
of Meet The Press
