“I don’t understand it,” Matthews bellowed. “Why would he pick her? I thought we were done with the Clintons. She’ll just use it to build her power base. It’s Machiavellian. And then we’ll have Bill Clinton, too. I thought Obama didn’t want drama. He’s already got [chief of staff Rahm] Emanuel and [transition team leader John] Podesta. He’ll have even more drama with her.
“She’s just a soap opera. If he doesn’t pick her, everyone will say she’s been dissed again, we’ll have to live through that again.” via the New York Post (I know, I know).
Chris Matthews is said to be considering a run for US Senate from Pennsylvania. I suppose it would be a good thing to get him off the TV, or at least to be able to drop the pretense that he is anything other than a little finger at the end of the SCFP’s propaganda arm, emphasis on “little.”
Anyways, as part of his attempt to burnish his image (good luck with that, Chris) Crackle! will be on the Ellen DeGeneres show today. We love Ellen and we’re glad she’s opening her door to Mr. Hardballs, but we really want her to confront Matthews about his ridiculous on-air sexism and his insane grudge against Hillary Clinton.
This morning’s PROWL is to contact the Ellen Show RIGHT NOW! and ask her to pitch a hardball of her own.
Just copy the following email, change it however you like, and paste it HERE.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Dear Ellen,
When you interview Chris Matthews today, please be sure to ask him WHY he said that the only reason Hillary Clinton is a senator from New York is that her husband cheated on her. Ask him why he said that the men who supported Senator Clinton’s candidacy were “castratis in the eunuch chorus.” Ask him why he makes inappropriate comments about the physical attractiveness of guests on his supposedly serious news program.
I am a member of Puma PAC, People United Means Action (www.pumapac.org). We are working to change the sexist media bias that hurt Senator Clinton’s bid for the presidency, and which hurts all women, both in politics and in the culture at large.
We support your work and your own efforts to present women’s issues in a funny, honest, and empowering way.
Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
Your name
Puma PAC member

Here’s an interesting thread on why those Obama people knew more about Palin than Obama:
“The Zogby poll is really more a reflection on media bias and what they chose to report on than on the intelligence of McCain or Obama voters.”

It will be a pleasure campaigning against him, I hope he loses to a WOMAN !!!
my little addition:
The men in this country (particularly the media and the presnt politicians havve been ruthless, and horrendous in the treatment and comments of our HISTORIC WOMAN who ran this year for the nomination and election of 2008).—–
Don’t allow these men to MINIMIZE their existence and /or their accomplishments with their CRUDE and TOO OFTEN LYING MOUTHS.
WHY ARE THEIR OPINIONS NEWS !!!!!!!!!!!——–I want to the REAL DEAL when I turn on the TV,

Ok I did the prowl with a bit of protest, I stopped watching Ellen and refuse to watch her ever again (but she doesn’t need to know that). I just copied and pasted the letter provided because I was afraid I might put my two cents in about how I feel about Ellen now.

Murphy! You—you put lipstick on a PIG!
Heh.
Here’s another little possibility for PUMAS on the prowl:
http://www.creators.com/opinion/froma-harrop/palin-s-next-career-move.html
Let Froma Harrop know what you think about her Palin-bashing. It’s a revolting piece. Even in this little bit of wishful thinking, Harrop apparently needs to add a sexist twist:
“The sands of the egg timer seem to be running out on Palin’s moment as a serious national political figure.”
What is that? A female journalist daydreaming that a Governor, VP candidate is going to fade back into the kitchen (egg timer)? What next— barefoot? Not only is it pathetic for a woman writer to resort to sexist stereotypes, it’s repulsive to distort the image of home makers as worthless people to be held up in opposition to coveted positions of power!

slyt,
Ellen has already skewered Matthews before he even came back on her show. Did you know she did a segment on how he groped her the last time he was on? She had a Matthews impersonator come on and she and her defense-trainer whapped him to the floor.
PUMAbear 11.20.08 at 10:22 am
Did the prowl with ellen.
TorchWood 11.20.08 at 10:22 am
Long time lurker here. Finally joined up.
I gave up on Ellen when I saw her doing her jitter-bug with Obama. Reminded me of the MC-Rove dance with that reporter/stenographer from MSNBC, David Gregory. She lost any and all respect from me after that and the AMEX card made a one way trip to the shredder. She didn’t drink the kool-aid, she swilled it down like it was the last 5 minutes at an open bar.
Hope she and her wife (for now) are happy with the passage of Prop 8. Hope she’ll still be dancing when they become just another “marriage in limbo”. It’ll also be interesting to see if she’ll be labeled as a Judas when Obama screws over the GLBT community.
Zee 11.20.08 at 10:24 am
Hmmm…..Murphy….we should write a boiler plate Palin-bashing piece with the usual talking points left “blank” a la Mad Libs. Then fake-offer it to would-be freelance journalists who want a “sure thing” to shop to publishers.

Did my prowl to Ellen! Also signed the petition to Congress on immigration.
I haven’t added my two cents in on this site very much, but just wanted to ask something.
Was it just me, or did any of you notice the day after the election, no one really was bragging or celebrating at work. It was like, even blacks were afraid to get too cocky about it, because they weren’t sure he was going to deliver. Maybe it was just here in Colorado, but I was surprised by the reaction. I really expected celebration rioting, because that happened just for the Super Bowl. Oh, well, just a thought!

I agree , beautiful if they exit and remain in France !
TexasTigress 11.20.08 at 10:50 am
Mathews about Hillary as SOS , ” she could be helpful beacuse she could cut a deal in the middle east he couldn’t cut on his own !!!!!!!!!!!!’ That’s why she should be PRESIDENT you fucktard!!!!!!
TexasTigress 11.20.08 at 10:52 am
We need that clip of what he just said !
taggles1 11.20.08 at 10:53 am
Well I guess it can be looked at this way…
Ellen is a part of the problem. She has a known sexist/misogynist on her show and hails him as a brilliant man.
People who associate and help these sexists need to be made accountable.

I have wanted to make the lives of his guests on his show miserable for a long time.
The people who regularly appear on his show like Margaret Carlson. Maybe she needs some letters and cc chris matthews on it.
Something like, why do you agree to appear on Hardball with Chris Matthews a known sexist/misogynist and put in a youtube or two of his most offensive shit.
Shame them! They should be ashamed.
TexasTigress 11.20.08 at 10:59 am
I am LIVID right now !!!
Matthews said that Hillary would be a good SOS because she could cut a deal in the middle east that he could not cut on his own !
He handed a man the POTUS on a silver platter and knew he wasn’t qualified !
Further , HE said that the only reason Hillary was running was because he husband had an affair ! (remember THAT SHIT ?)
Zee 11.20.08 at 10:59 am

And ,YES Taggles I agree with you on that one too!

Good Morning PUMAs
Has anyone requested for a refund from Hillary Campaign got a “nightmare” call this morning?!
They refuse to refund for us stated that the election is OVER.
They even yelled at me on the phone when i disagree with them. I called them to ask for a refund early Nov 5 and they wait for more than 2 weeks to call me back. this is terrible. They even threaten me to call the police to report abuse if i continue to call them to ask for refund.
I am sooo disappointed about Hillary Campaign.
Can any know that we have any RIGHTS to ask for a refund from a campain?! Thanks.

TexasTigress I am very behind in reading posts but I just wanted you to know that the human side of the GM issue is beginning to get some play in newspapers here. Not enough notice to post a link, but I have followed up every article with a comment or letter mentioning some of your points. I am concerned as well because my son-in-law is working for GM in London (building military vehicles). I think the issue of retirees has been forgotten and needs some press. Thank you because I did use some of your points.

MURPHY, REGARDING “KEEP THE LIGHT ON”
Good morning Pumas!
Murphy I do not see a running total of donations already given to reduce the $3000.00 PumaPac deficit.
Also, I donated $50.00 yesterday, toward this effort via PayPal and I want to make sure PumaPac has received my donation.
I would like to know via my listed email address with PumaPac,that you have received this donation.
I am requesting this running total of what is still outstanding, in order that other Pumas, who are capable of donating will contribute.
Not all Pumas Murphy, go back and read previous posts… Each and every member of PumaPac desires to help all to the best of their abilities and that is why we are so strong from top to bottom!!!
Long Live PumaPac!!!

I NEVER received anything from the Hillary Camp (even a bumper sticker), how could they say something terribly like this as a reason to run away from a refund request?!!!
Have a nice day PUMAs!

I am stunned. I never would have expected Hillary’s Campaign office to behave like that. So much for honorable.
At last, a woman, maybe! Does any body know much about Governor Napolitano? I’ve been reading that she could be the new head of Homeland Security.
sue66 11.20.08 at 11:16 am
I did not request a refund but that sort of behavior is intolerable. Maybe Hillary’s Campaign office needs a prowl.

I gave freely to Hillary and i won’t ask for a refund. But i think I can understand why some would want one or need one.

Huong that is horrible I don’t know what to even say to that, I can’t believe they can do that but I guess it does make sense (about the store thing)but still I thought (from what I read here) you were allowed to ask for money back?????
DancesWithPumas 11.20.08 at 11:18 am
Murphy,
I’m not requesting a running totla, but, if you’re going to post a “balance remaining” figure, could you just post it once… like first thing in the morning, or last thread at night? Those running total list are beyond obnoxious.

Personally Huong, I consider a donation a donation and not something that I should request back at a later date.
I personally think it is a little gauche to request money back!
I assume, your original motivation,to donating to Senator Clinton’s campaign was to help her get elected, now that she has failed you kind of want to punish her for not winning… Does not compute!

One of the Yankee girls , determined to express her superiority said , ” Where we are from , we don’t end our sentances with prepositions .’

NOP, I think it’s intended as a sarcastic way of pointing out how rote and mindless the Palin criticism and smearing has been. Anything that lets journalists know they are being held to account is good, IMO.
Nothing Alinsky-like about it. Alinsky tactics and strategies are intended to bore from within, and use mob psychology to dominate politics and economics in order to crash the system. This is reminding reporters and editors that they are not fooling all of the people all of the time. (Just too many too much of the time.)

cate I do know for a fact she was a Hillary supporter during the primaries she said as much on the show , but i guess she is a die-hard dem so she fell in line but imo she crossed the line and now I do not care for her at ALL.
admin 11.20.08 at 11:56 am
cate, she supported hillary in the primaries. pretty strongly. just like tina fey.
but as INSIDERS, people like ellen and tina fey have to go with the flow.
their choice.
but we dont have to like it or support it.

michelina,
do you know how we count “one year”, does it start from the day we made the first donation?
and whom will we send this refund requesting letter to?
thanks.
admin 11.20.08 at 12:00 pm

if you go to youtube and search for “hillary on ellen” you’ll get lots of evidence of ellen’s support of hillary.

BrianH: Know what you mean – sometimes it just gets stuck on spell-it-wrong-something-or-another. Really didn’t mean to type the “brain” thing – twice, no less. I love grammar, the history of languages and how they evolved is really fascinating, also. I have forgotten more than I ever knew in the first place! LOL!

This grammer conversation reminds me of a joke ..
A Good ol’ Texas gal heads up North to go to College , and during rush , she finds herself in a room filled with uppity Yankee girls , but not being one to be shy , she said ” So, where y’all from ?”
One of the Yankee girls , determined to express her superiority said , ” Where we are from , we don’t end our sentances with prepositions .’
Without missing a beat the Texas girl replied , ” Ok . So, where y’all from , Bitch ?”//
=========
Which reminds me of one of Churchill’s better lines: “Ending a sentence with a preposition is something up with which we will not put!”
Huong 11.20.08 at 12:01 pm
and i deeply apologize to other PUMAs for my “not main stream” posts. but i have no choice and this is the only way i can talk and solve my problem (i hope so)! thanks.

Women who are SEXISTS: would be a great articl or THREAD:
What do you think PUMA’S, let group them together and give them our WHAT FOR: Something like that

Who are we being cautious about—just the tag #

Ellen Prowl done. Never watched her show and have no interest in doing so.
michelina 11.20.08 at 12:12 pm
No HUONG: I really didn’t want it back, I just did it to show my disapproval for what was happening at the time: Alot of did it just to hear our VOICE, but none of us really wanted it back.
I know just by my profession: By law a response is required when it’s done formally (by letter)——if it’s really what you want, your entitled to it———but the phone calls, no, they won’t work.

#86BrianH: I know full well what its intended purpose is.
Journalists who practice and continue to practice Palin and women bashing of the kind they practice know and knew exactly why they did and do what they do and are in no way interested to know who is holding them to account…except the people who pay them .
I also know what Alinskyism is and its myriad approaches re individuals and groups. The suggestion to this Pac to do this is the Alynsky tactic and I reject it.
murphy 11.20.08 at 12:20 pm
NOP — good point. Since we are a political Action group and one of our core missions is fighting the misogyny in the media, what sorts of non-Alinsky tactics do you know of?
I’ll repost this upstairs in case you’ve already moved.
Taurus08 11.20.08 at 12:40 pm
It was said on TV the other night that Hillary’s debt was still 7 million dollars and that Obama had raised $850,000 for her. For all she did for him, he could have raised a lot more in my estimation.
Jenny 11.20.08 at 1:37 pm
Please don’t wish him on PA! Last I heard he’d be running against Spector. At this point interest in him is at 14% against Spector’s 70%. I swore I’d never vote for Spector again, unless someone else runs, looks like I’ll have to support Arlen again, just to keep Mathews out of the Senate.
