An old wound has been opened and can't be covered up without exposure to clean air.

I didn't notice that...even though Chris Matthews joked about giving them uniforms.

But I did notice that little grimace at the very beginning from Karen Finney when Chris Matthews introdcued her as a descendent of Robert E. Lee.

For a second I thought she was experiencing a gas attack. I guess it is part of her heritage that she could do without.

My thanks to HARDBALL and "I" chant (pray) that it helps the concerned (?!?)public's to think about something must be done about this besides making this a few days to concerns of the public at large, because this did not just happen with this governor and it will not end with this governor by the public doing the same thing and expecting a CHANGE.

I SURE DID Brother Cow, calling her an "idiot" was Keith being kind to Sister Sarah.lol (smile)

HOw long before even they will try and get some new talking points...I am sure it was not just me taht this crowd today was not like her other crowds or maybe thse are just the majority of the same people going on this trip and hearing the same things over and over...

Oh, Ron Paul tonight was kind when asked a question about the qualification of Sister Sarah as Keith has named her...he said "she is a little undereducated"...lol
