| 00:00:06 |
00:00:08 |
Tighten up your beltway,
we've got more politics to talk. |
| 00:00:08 |
00:00:10 |
I'm Lee Decker.
I've got Jason Copeland |
| 00:00:10 |
00:00:12 |
and Marie Byron
hogging up my screen |
| 00:00:12 |
00:00:14 |
so you know it's time
for Gaffe or Good. |
| 00:00:14 |
00:00:16 |
Hi Lee. -Good evening Lee.
-Alright, you know the rules. |
| 00:00:16 |
00:00:18 |
I play a clip, you tell me if it's
a huge gaffe or a good move. |
| 00:00:18 |
00:00:19 |
First up, John Boehner
|
| 00:00:19 |
00:00:22 |
talking to a small business owners
association Tuesday. Watch. |
| 00:00:23 |
00:00:26 |
Small businesses are the engine
of job creation |
| 00:00:26 |
00:00:28 |
in their communities.
|
| 00:00:28 |
00:00:30 |
Marie, gaffe or good? go.
-Good. He's on message. |
| 00:00:30 |
00:00:32 |
He's showing the people he knows
how to speak their language. |
| 00:00:32 |
00:00:33 |
Come on.
-Jason, gaffe or good? |
| 00:00:34 |
00:00:36 |
Lee he's on message but
he's got to get off this script. |
| 00:00:37 |
00:00:39 |
Boehner is trying to act confident
but he's trying way too hard. |
| 00:00:39 |
00:00:40 |
Gaffe or good Jason?
-Gaffe. |
| 00:00:40 |
00:00:42 |
He's regurgitating stale
Republican talking points. |
| 00:00:42 |
00:00:43 |
Americans aren't buying this.
|
| 00:00:44 |
00:00:45 |
So who's right, who's wrong?
Jason says gaffe, |
| 00:00:46 |
00:00:48 |
Marie says good.
Jason if it was 1996 |
| 00:00:48 |
00:00:49 |
I would agree with you
|
| 00:00:49 |
00:00:51 |
but yesterday's gaffe, today's good.
Let's crowd source it. |
| 00:00:53 |
00:00:54 |
Crowd says good, file it.
|
| 00:00:54 |
00:00:57 |
Next up, Harry Reed caught
vacationing this week. Look. |
| 00:00:59 |
00:01:01 |
Well, gaffe or good?
-Obvious gaffe. |
| 00:01:01 |
00:01:03 |
This is just sloppy.
Get this guy a handler. |
| 00:01:03 |
00:01:04 |
Why is he walking around
like that? -He's relaxing. |
| 00:01:04 |
00:01:07 |
This candid camera stuff
works wonder for Palin. |
| 00:01:07 |
00:01:08 |
But she's not a US Senator, Lee.
-They love it on Slick Willy. |
| 00:01:09 |
00:01:10 |
Marie. -I've got to go
with gaffe. |
| 00:01:10 |
00:01:12 |
The public wants to see
the Democrats doing their work. |
| 00:01:13 |
00:01:15 |
Nothing else. -Exactly. Keep it
serious until you're out of office. |
| 00:01:16 |
00:01:18 |
Jason, you know how it works
but I don't like how it works. |
| 00:01:18 |
00:01:22 |
Everybody says gaffe, I can't
change the world. Gaffe. |
| 00:01:22 |
00:01:24 |
I'm making this the Dean's Scream
Memorial gaffe of the week. |
| 00:01:27 |
00:01:29 |
We've got one minute left
in this hour. |
| 00:01:29 |
00:01:31 |
Let's see who won it,
the GOP or the Dems. |
| 00:01:31 |
00:01:33 |
GOP gets it. They've won
seven of the last ten hours. |
| 00:01:34 |
00:01:36 |
22 of the last 48.
Can the Dems recover? |
| 00:01:36 |
00:01:39 |
Days trump hours so we'll see
who won the day |
| 00:01:39 |
00:01:42 |
tomorrow at 5am, whenever.
Mike Allan does his deal. |
| 00:01:42 |
00:01:44 |
I don't get up that early.
|
| 00:01:44 |
00:01:46 |
Alright last clip, I think
you'll recognize this guy. |
| 00:01:48 |
00:01:50 |
Quick, gaffe or good? Marie.
-Gaffe, Gaffe. |
| 00:01:50 |
00:01:52 |
He is just standing there
taking no action |
| 00:01:52 |
00:01:54 |
while the country
is crumbling around him. |
| 00:01:54 |
00:01:55 |
So you can't stand still.
What should he do, Jason, |
| 00:01:56 |
00:01:57 |
start juggling?
Gaffe or good? |
| 00:01:57 |
00:01:59 |
Go, we're running out of a time.
-Yes, good good. |
| 00:01:59 |
00:02:01 |
He's not just standing there.
He's good, good. |
| 00:02:02 |
00:02:03 |
He's showing resolve and that's
what the American people... |
| 00:02:04 |
00:02:04 |
One the one hand
he's not doing anything, |
| 00:02:05 |
00:02:05 |
on the other hand
he's a pillar of strength. |
| 00:02:06 |
00:02:06 |
Yes, it's this sort
of level-headedness... |
| 00:02:07 |
00:02:09 |
Jason, don't interrupt me.
Is it enough to beat the Tea Party? |
| 00:02:09 |
00:02:11 |
Almost certainly unclear.
|
| 00:02:12 |
00:02:13 |
Jason, Marie was right
more than you today |
| 00:02:13 |
00:02:16 |
but you had a better showing
so you win the segment. |
| 00:02:16 |
00:02:18 |
Alright. -Sorry Marie, you're
out of touch with the mainstream. |
| 00:02:18 |
00:02:20 |
Alright, we need to take a break
but stick around. |
| 00:02:20 |
00:02:23 |
We've still got to check out
our political momentum equation. |
| 00:02:23 |
00:02:25 |
Momentum
is mass times velocity. |
| 00:02:25 |
00:02:27 |
Tea Party still got the mass,
can they keep up their velocity? |
| 00:02:28 |
00:02:30 |
Or are the Dems finally upping
their drag coefficient |
| 00:02:30 |
00:02:33 |
as Harry Reed whittles down
the GOP's mass density consensus |
| 00:02:33 |
00:02:34 |
on the war in Afghanistan.
|
| 00:02:35 |
00:02:38 |
Suck in that gut, the beltway
is cinching up after this. |
| 00:02:43 |
00:02:45 |
A new study finds
many public schools |
| 00:02:46 |
00:02:48 |
are forced to use old,
outdated teachers. |
| 00:02:48 |
00:02:50 |
