Joe McGinniss on Hardball.

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

This is a MUCH superior interview to the one Joe did on CNN, and though I usually am not a huge fan of Mathews, he is very respectful and even gives Joe the chance to answer a question without interrupting.

110 comments:

  1. After last night's embarrassing ordeal with Piers Morgan (who I think is smarmy) Chris's interview was much better. Joe got a chance to explain how vicious Sarah can be to her perceived enemies.

    Like a fine wine, I am savoring ever word of The Rogue. So satisfying.

    Tweety actually let Joe talk! Joe looked delighted and somewhat surprised that the interviewer wasn't calling him a creepy stalker! BTW, read at Polgates that the Scary One will be on Hannity tonight. I never tune in to Faux News, but can't wait for Gryphen's report. He's a stronger man than I am!

    Not a huge fan of Matthews but that was a really good interview. Much more respectful than Morgans'.

    "I think she'll matter more than we want her to."

    Bull. She's fast becoming a full-on joke. She's toast. On the floor (butter side down, Todd).

    sorry to o/t on the first comment, but caught the last 10 minutes of Levi on Dr. Phil. mehh. It was mainly about co-parenting. Levi was on for the first 20 minutes then they were going to other couples who put their children in the middle. Phil asks about back child support. Levi gives a lame answer about yeh, he's working on it. Really? Did you not anticipate this question? Mercede had a few words about defending her family. Tank was probably the biggest hit when he said Sarah doesn't own him so he (Tank) can say what he wants. This probably should have been Levi and Mercede theme going in if they had put some thought into it - portraying Sarah as a bully seemed to resonate with audience.

    Thanks for all of your fine blogs, Gryphen. It is not likely that you will run out of subject matter very soon, however, I would like to suggest that if and when you find the time, it would be great if you could add to what Joe McGinniss said about Chuck and Sally Heath. I think that they bear a good deal of credit (or blame) for what Sarah is today.

    Chuck made a strange comment about Sarah being stubborn, and he could not bend her to his will. Chuck is the big talker who needed brag about Sarah returning to Alaska to give birth to Trig. (I know, Chuck was there when Trig popped out). He is the one who embellished the already unbelievable Wild Ride Story. I'd like to know more about him and Sally, and what effect they might have had on their other 3 kids, too.

  7. I don't usually comment but thought I would just post a reminder to everyone that today is the day to send Gryph a little (or a lot) of support i.e. cash, for all of his hard work over the years.
    This site not only provides so much useful information, whether it is via Jesse's posts, the comments or the links; but it is also highly entertaining. I think we all appreciate that, particularly when there are so many serious issues being discussed here.

    Thanks again Jesse for all that you do!

  14. Yes! The emphasis was much better aligned with Joe's actual book: the real story behind who Palin is, how she was propelled in her career, and, by implication, as a case study for the negligence of the MSM.

    I also was pleased to see Matthews' familiarity and ease in discussing the realities of Dominionism. Signs the truth is breaking through!!!!!

    (The earlier segment about Obama's approval among Jewish voting/ donating segments was also encouraging: it was a decent analysis of the political role of the fundies, Israel and end times.)

  15. Great interview. And compared to Piers Morgan, Chris Matthews looked positively 'Murrowesque.' The best part is that he DID NOT open the interview by asking Joe why he moved next door to the Palins.

    I had to laugh as I thought of Sarah watching this . . . curled up in the fetal position as she watches her life of lies displayed for the world to see -- exposed by a highly-respected and talented (no word salad, here!) "rill" author.

    My book is winging its way to me as I write this. Meantime, thanks for all the great posts from my fellow Truth-seekers. And don't you think John McCain -- who agreed to put this treasonous Harpy in the V.P. spot -- should be "bookboarded" with THE ROGUE? Like Alex in "A Clockwork Orange," eyes clamped open and the whole bit. Karma, Baby!

    Chris and Joe did a good interview.

    I don't think Sarah can be a king maker. She has fooled and bullied the media, if she had any clout shr would be running already. We know her support is a little group of crazy bots who bully on the internet. Saying and doing are quite different.

    Dr. Phil was clever to use clips of Bristol to show how petty and a liar she is. I think Levi came over alright, the audience was with Levi.

    Joe , did indeed, looked more than happy to go into detail about who Sarah Palin is and that just reached a few more million people that haven't spent the last 3 years going WTF like most of us on here. It was a quite satisfying interview. Quite the tasty morsel to come home from work from.

    In a lot of ways his book could be one chapter only. Just about how Sarah and Todd reacted to his renting the house next door.
    Because that is Sarah distilled.

    Of course you could pick from dozens of other "reactions" on her part for the same reason.

    Joe got off easy because he has stature, and backing, from his publishers so he was somewhat protected for their real aggression.

    This was much better than yesterday's poor performance. Joe was able to be on offense and was able to make his points rather than being on defense. I said yesterday that Joe seemed a bit off his game when being grilled by that phone hacker crook on CNN. Well, he turned it around tonight and was a winner!
    Drove to Barnes and Noble this afternoon to get Joe's book. There were only two left. Glen Beck must have had 20 books on the shelf - hahaha LOSER!That prolific writer Ann Coulter had probably 15 books on the shelf and that puke Malkin had 5 or 6 books left over from last spring. I guess the baggers just aren't that in to Beck anymore. Either that or they don't read.

    Gryph, give Chris Matthews another look. He has been excellent for the most of 2011 in my opinion and even better in the last few months when it became apparent that the repubs are only interesting in trying to deny Pres. Obama a second term even if it means destroying the country. Chris can paint the stark differences between the 2 parties better than any other pundit working today including Lawrence O'donell who I also like watching. Some of the "let me finish" segments have been very moving. He is passionate in his belief that the president is being treated and attacked unfairly in many cases.

    Dr. Phil gave Levi a good interview. He used clips showing Bristol saying mean things, trying to explain the "stolen virginity" phrase, and calling her child's dad a gnat. Then he pretty much said Levi takes a higher road and has earned his respect. Yes, he owes a year's worth of child support. But Dr. Phil also showed how Bristol, not Levi, has exploited Tripp (Pause before you play announcements) and he let Mercede and Tank speak from the audience. I cringe with the bad grammar these young adults use, but all in all it was a win for the Johnston team.

    I'm not surprised that chris matthews was fair to mcginnis. matthews can be a nut and can go overboard, but I believe that he knows palin is a fraud and is willing to give time to those who can prove it.

    one thing about matthews - he doesn't need to fear for his job. so he doesn't need to suck-up to a political or corporate position to feel safe. he is different than many other talking heads in that regard, which explains his approach to alot of issues. not saying he's always right, but he has freedom that many in his position do not have.

    Found this old gem:

    http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2008/09/15/bess/index1.html

    "Things got very intense around here in the '90s -- the culture war was very hot here," Bess said. "The evangelicals were trying to take over the valley. They took over the school board, the community hospital board, even the local electric utility. And Sarah Palin was in the direct center of all these culture battles, along with the churches she belonged to."

    In 1996, evangelical churches mounted a vigorous campaign to take over the local hospital's community board and ban abortion from the valley. When they succeeded, Bess and Dr. Susan Lemagie, a Palmer OB-GYN, fought back, filing suit on behalf of a local woman who had been forced to travel to Seattle for an abortion. The case was finally decided by the Alaska Supreme Court, which ruled that the hospital must provide valley women with the abortion option.

    At one point during the hospital battle, passions ran so hot that local antiabortion activists organized a boisterous picket line outside Dr. Lemagie's office, in an unassuming professional building across from Palmer's Little League field. According to Bess and another community activist, among the protesters trying to disrupt the physician's practice that day was Sarah Palin.

    He seemed like a " charming young man."
    He was not boastful or mean or vindictive , in fact, he seemed very humble
    and sincere.
    Mercede was passionate about defending her family and was very pretty .
    Dr Phil seemed to be in Levi's corner as was the audience.
    Too bad Levi was behind on child support .
    The clip Dr Phil played of Bristol made her seem phony and nasty and untruthful.
    Tank is unafraid of Palin .

    Unfortunately he wasted the first half of the very short 10 min interview on defending himself about living in the house next door, and something else, now forgot. But totally OFF MESSAGE. He barely got anything in about the substance in the book, and all because he didn't deflect the tangential questions properly, he just expanded on them which didn't let him reveal what was interesting in the book. Not as much of a failure as the CNN interview, but didn't do him any favors and didn't make you want to read the book. I have a feeling that this book isn't going to do anything bad for SP. The interviews so far are all about attacking Joe, not the detail that he exposes. And he is doing a terrible job of bringing that stuff up, just busy trying to laugh off that he wasn't stalking her or that his living next door was no big deal. Sure it wasn't but why'd you just waste 50% of your interview time dwelling on it? Dumb dumb dumb. What a damn shame.

He asked me if Sarah Palin had a "swimming hole," and how Joe could look into Piper's window. I found an old picture in Google images that showed the houses side by side. Joe would have had to stand on a ladder on his roof to see into Piper's window. I explained that the old swimming hole was a polluted lake that fish couldn't swim in.

    My husband asked why the MSM doesn't ever call Sarah out on those obvious lies. I've been wondering the same thing.

    If Breitbart received an email from Joe, then why didn't he answer it directly rather than tweeting?

    When I saw the tweet, I thought "here it comes". If Breitbart is jumping in to discredit Joe .. etc.

    Yea, What's with the Breitbart tweet? There are some real creepy things going on behind the scenes. I read a bunch of tweets today, and it seems that Anthony Weiner was framed by some porn ring girls and their handlers. Scary shit. Andrew Breitbart is somehow connected to this shit, and he's reaching out to JoeMcG? All this Sarah shit is creeping me the fuck out. I'm starting to believe they put Joe and his book out there for the last of her vetting. Like, "you've seen it all now, and none of it is true" because Creepy Joe has been discredited. Yea, real creepy shit going on. This woman is toxic, but so many are promoting her? Is this whole Christianity thing they just tell you what to think and you go along with it? As a p-bot you just spend your day attacking any press that doesn't worship Sarah? What is it with these people? Do they not know that Sarah has dangerous handlers? This seems to be the goal. Creepy, Christian War-mongers take over the USA. Yup, I'm scared.

    Looks like they're trying to discredit Joe McGinnis, claiming he's done a couple of hit and runs while he was in Wasilla.

    Is that the best they can do? Attack a guy thy claim is peddling petty attacks on Palin by providing an even more petty attack?

    Breitbart's got nothing. The damage has been done. Palin's name is mud. The fact no one is defending her should tell you something. Not even pulling a Shirley Sherrod on McGinniss can salvage that wreck. Besides, I doubt Andy can afford another lawsuit. When Sherrod gets through with him, he's going be back sleeping on Drudge's couch.

    Feels good to give a little something back to you Gryphen for all the big things you achieve on this Blog. Thank you.

    And to Hannity I sent a little something also too:

    "So if on just one interview with Ms. Palin could you feed her a question & answer relating to something other than our President or her announcement to run?

    There must be something interesting for the two of you to expand on other than the same old lamestream dialogue.

    Here's a thought....ask why her grandson Tripp is named after Shailey Tripp.

    At least you've curbed your puppy dog expressions of love for her."

    Again, I don't get why people find the snorting lines off an oil drum story so hard to take. It sounds about right for most people her age at that time in Alaska. I don't hold it against anyone. Everyone I knew - I'm just a couple of years older than her - was into at least a couple of "somthing"s back in the day. We were all young once.

    People of a certain age - lived through the 70's - who act surprised are either terribly sheltered or just bad liars. We all know Sarah isn't naive. I'm certain the 'bots who aren't evil are.

    Lake Lucille isn't polluted, it's anoxic because of too much vegetative growth; there simply isn't enough dissolved oxygen to support much aquatic life. There are a few fish, but not many. Not toxic though, the water quality is fine. My dogs swim there and I certainly wouldn't let them if I didn't know that the water quality was okay.

    Trying to blow off the findings in Joes book HERE really accomplishes nothing. You are speaking to people who don't care what you have to say. And you are hardly talking to the millions of people who would find that offensive.
    Like older evangelical voters.

    Second, Bristol knows exactly who Shailey is.

  95. It's a shame the more saucy elements emerged as the talking points and may keep some people from reading a book they perceive as gossipy. Joe McG's book, much like Dunns, illuminates the far more worrisome issues regarding the phony Palin persona.

    James Carville remains convinced that she is going to run but on her own 'neo' terms. I am beginning to think she will again be able to turn any backlash to her favor, pulling out yet another huge victim card. Thankfully she would most likely Nader the GOP/TP but she won't go away. We swatted a huge hornets nest with this woman and she will do whatever it takes to sting everyone. If she doesn't run, I bet she'd even settle for a Perry VP slot to set herself up for a future run. They are cut from the same sleazy bolt of cloth. Carnival barkers. Charlatans. Political porn stars.

    To reiterate what several people posted. Levi did extremely well with Dr. Phil. Levi is arrears in his child support payments, but with the book sales he will be caught up very shortly. Sadie looked gorgeous in a very natural, nonHollywood, way. And Levi came across as being sincere and mature. Even Tank was charming.

    Bierbart and Bannon (Undefeated) share office space and Bannon has funded Bierbart.

    No one is defending Sarah so she goes to Stacy McCain and Bierbart,the nastiest and dirtiest of the lot.

    Biertbart has funded James O'keef the pimp that went after Acorn the group that helped the poor, claiming they stole votes for Pres. Obama and caused congress to defund them.

    Perhaps they are trying to get people to recant, like Sarah got Levi to do. That is their MO.

    "Did Sarah really say on Hannity that she is putting off her decision about running until November???"

    Not only that, she said LEGALLY she's got 'till Nov, "or something" (how can someone considering to enter this close to Nov be at the "or something" stage still?) but THEN she said this election cycle will be unconventional. Does that mean bending the rules and stringing this out past November? Maybe it means running a campaign like she does a race, photoshop herrself entering the race at a rally and send the pic to Greta announcing "she's running", then hole herself up until next November, dump a little confetti on her head and take some pictures looking at campaign results at her home studio.

    The paper in Atlanta didn't publish any of the Doonesbury cartoons relating to the book until today, when it ran them all. The explanation: the cartoons referred to a-yet unpublished book about SP and thus she hadn't had a chance to respond. ???
    Then it ran the response from Todd and a very negative review of the author. What the .....?????

    This story in today's NYT's about the GOP's influence with Netanyahu is disturbing; I fear that Palin's move to woo Netanyahu on her recent fake trip to Israel will be her agenda for the upcoming election, regardless of whether or not she runs. This whole relationship with the GOP and Israel is disturbing in itself because when push comes to shove they don't give a rats ass about the welfare of the jews - it's all about economics.

  106. Re Breitbart seeking a convo with Joe McGinniss.

    Head's up (no pun intended): Breitbart's calling every male that he hasn't already ambushed at the urinal in the bar. BB just upgraded to the 16G iPhone, so he has lots more memory to store photos of other men's dicks.

    You know, I wonder if that cokehead ever loans his phone to one of his kids.

    I understand that he's got a formal timeshare arrangement with RAM to alternate having each of their faces planted firmly against Sarah's anus. He's such a sick fuck.

    G-man, I don't think I'd return his call if I were you.

    Just sayin'.
