Listen. Oy. Via TPM.
And I called "beer' first.
Todd: Mike Murphy, Peggy Noonan. Lots of free advice.We'll see if Steve Schmidt and the boys were watching (ed note- better hope not). Lots of free advice.
blather, cross talk over CT
Murphy: Um, you know, because, I come out of the blue swing state governor world. Engler, Whitman, Tommy Thompson, Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush, I mean, and these guys, this is all how you win a Texas race, just run it up, and it's not gonna work.
Noonan: It's Over.
Murphy: Still, McCain can give a version of the Lieberman speech and do himself some good.
Todd: Don’t you think the Palin pick is insulting to Kay Baily Hutchinson?
Noonan: I saw Kay this morning...
Todd: She's never looked comfortable about..
Murphy: They're all bummed out.
Todd: I mean, is she really the most qualified woman they can obtain?
Noonan: The most qualified? No. I think they went for this, excuse me, political bullshit about narratives...[couldn't hear the end of it]
Todd: Yeah, but what's a narrative?
Murphy: I totally agree.
Noonan: Every time Republicans do that, because that's not where they live and it's not what they're good at, they blow it.
Murphy: You know what's the worst thing about it, the greatness of McCain is no cynicism, and..
Murphy and Todd together: This is cynical.
Todd: And as you called it, gimmicky.
Thanks to FleetAdmiralJ for transcribing it before I could. And mad props to Clancy for more revisions.

Made my day. I'm fairly certain that at the beginning, Noonan said it was over, and Murphy agreed.
I'm going to do the transcript here in a minute. Me and freakin' Cesca are the g-d'd Bobbsey twins these past few days.
Be sure to get the part where they talk about Kay Hutch freakin' out over this. Gold!
He couldn't hear it, can you Clanc?
I'll listen with the headphones for what Todd says, but Noonan responded, "I saw Kay this morning." I think.
Mike says "They're all bummed out," not "Oh, fuck that," the latter of course being the correct response to, "Mike, why don't you shill for your Party and kiss Palin's ass for us."
My guess . . . Todd: "Don’t you think the Palin pick is insulting to Kay Baily Hutchinson?"
See, Chuck Todd IS a Republican man! I knew it!!! He talks of obtaining women.....sexist bastard.
I finally found you, Clancy! Go back to our previous argument and win me over so I can agree with you. I feel very awkward and hurt when we're not in agreement.
I said it on Cesca's and I'll say it here: After listening to this, I experienced explosive decompression in my Barack Obama Underoos. Best. Open. Mike. Ever.
Esp Noonan. She's such a Kool Aid drinker and for her to think this was bullshit. Well, wow.
Elvis, where can I get some Obama Underoos?
LOL
Peggy Noonan said a bad word! This could be an intramural scandal on her side.
I wonder if Obama wears his own Obama Underoos? Nevermind. He just shat whatever he wears too.
Ady, I responded . . . but don't expect me to go find something like that again. In blogworld, that post was like ancient history and not too easy to find.
I've had to transcribe a lot of oral histories in my day. It's a lot easier to do with a tape than a youtube video.
The beginning of this conversation could be interesting, but the crosstalk is a pain in the ass and Noonan's audio fades in and out. Murphy's mic is off, then comes back on. That's weird. Someone with sound equipment could probably catch waht they're saying . . . but it would hardly be worth the effort.
I'm still voting for "There's Adam Clymer, major-league asshole" as the best open-mike ever...but this one is far more entertaining1 :)
Yeah. Big Time.
Someone should email MSNBC and demand that they tell the truth from now on.
I have little doubt Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson is irked about this selection. I'm irked about this selection and I have not served my state fairly decently and the Republican Party with loyalty for decades. I don't think there is any doubt that Governor Palin is a nice woman, but she is NO Kay Bailey Hutchinson, and she certainly is NO Hillary Clinton.

What I don't get is why the hell isn't the Republican Party revolting - well they are - but you know what I mean. Up in arms! I can't believe that for the moderates in the party that this is okay with them. They're fine with being held hostage by the extreme right wing of the party?
Ugh! These guys disgust me.
Nor is she a Jodi Rell
Adrienne: You had better start pre-ordering your Obama Underoos today, they're apparently going to sell like The Hotcakes™ very soon. Our ad campaign launches tomorrow, but since we love you so much (yes, YOU) we'll give you a Sneak Peek.
$19.95 a pair, two for ten bucks. Still working on the bikini briefs and the matching bra, the latter of which is so much a confluence of my favorite things -- Barack Obama and boobs -- that I may experience my second Underoo-filling decompression of the day. (That's right ladies: Two in one day, I can so roll like that.)
Oh LAWD, Republican Hubby just stepped in the political shit that is such a staple in his party one too many times with me today. The dumbass sent me one of those false e-mails that basically accuses Senator Obama of being everything from a tax-and-spend liberal to the Anti-Christ.
It came from the aunt of his who is a preacher's wife. So, the passive aggressive punishment is on. I forwarded it to his home office computer, and then sent back a profanity laced reply. Or rather, he just cussed out his aunt. Naughty boy, my Republican Hubby. Then, no dinner. And, oops, my head hurts too badly to bathe YOUR kid. And then I'll shop a little while on his credit card while he takes care of the kids.
I wonder how long it will take before his aunt calls HIM again?
Present for you guys.
Did Sarah have an affair?
Hook me up with some Obama'roos!
Republican Hubby will NOT be allowed to wear THIS pair of my panties. No sireeeeeeee...
He's a very bad man. Did I ever mention that Republican men are especially repressed but oddly kinky too?
So Mr. Knowles has you for his wife and I have no one. Great.
How does he like Levi?
Yeah, tell me something I don't know.
Hey, I'm still looking for a virtual hubby!!!
Paddy, here is a link that has the McCain press release
http://minx.cc/?post=272351
The best line is "[l]egal action will be considered" which in my mind means "we are not sure." This is getting good!!
Also says on cover of the National Enquirer. Gotta get me a copy.
No, Jon. Knowles was the last name of my ex-husband. He was/is a taller, thinner version of Johnny Depp. But he's a redneck. (Can't have everything at once, I guess). He was supposed to be a one night stand, but we made a lovely little boy together and got married and lived miserably ever after...just like Bristol and Levi will. Now, I dated a very, very hot guy from Toledo for a while...you're not from there are you? If not, I LOVE the name Jon, but I've always loved Elvis too. He's had me laughing for quite a while now.
Republican Hubby is current, but is being punished. So, I'm free for the night. It's all good!
Well I did visit an online lady friend in Toledo in the summer of '99. Best thing about that trip was her friends helping me have such a cheap trip. I'm from Athens, GA and have always been from this area. I also happen to be 6'6" tall, for all the difference that makes to anybody.
Having already chosen and married your current husband, you might as well shop on his card to get some good out of it, I suppose.
No shit, Jon?!? I love tall men. My ex-husband is actually coming up from Atlanta to see his son for their bi-annual visit this weekend. He just loves kids and continues to make them all over the southeast. Loser, that one. He actually lives in Panama City Beach, FL, but he's only 6'3". Shortie.
Funny, that Knowles came up on this blog today and then Mr. Knowles actually called. My skin started to crawl. Ick.
And then Republican Hubby started acting up and now he's in sooooo much trouble, but my evening is free.
Are the Republicans going to be orange again tonight? I think I'll have a drink now just in case.
I didn't tell you about my powers of premonition and other related abilities :)
Seriously, I don't how it happened that people like Mr. Knowles continue to do what they do, and my daughter's mother had to be a Murphy Brown/Jodie Foster-wannabe and exclude me completely...
See, I always figured my son would kick his father's sorry ass to the curb on his own. That's HIS choice not mine. And he's pretty much done that except for when he wants something I won't buy him.
I think when Mr. Knowles dies he'll be kept above ground longer than James Brown was while all of his children fight over every single penny he has left.
I'm gettin' another drink and going up thread to find out if the Republicans are orange again tonight or not.
I'm away from my apartment and unable to drink or smoke where I am now so I should stop myself now from commenting further on your marital history.
LOL, Jon, you coward. I just had a smoke outside. I'm laughing while Republican Hubby tries to deal with kids. See, I have this horrible earache. Or was it a headache? Oh shit, I forgot.
Damn, I forgot what hurt just now. That's pathetic, isn't it?
I guess it doesn't matter what else I have going for me if I don't have money.
