'The Rachel Maddow Show' 3/8/2011 : ("We Won in Wisconsin", Maddow's premature celebration)
MSNBC Transcripts ^ | March 8th, 2011 | Rachel maddow

Thanks to you at home for staying with us for the next hour.

Hey, Wisconsin, you won. There has been no ceremony, there has been no applause yet, there has been no formal surrender ceremony—but I am telling you, you have won. Congratulations, Wisconsin.

After 22 days of protests in the state that is the cradle of the rights of Americans who work for a living, after 22 days of protests against Republican Governor Scott Walker‘s efforts to strip union rights in Wisconsin, the governor has started to crumble. The governor started to cave. The governor started to do what he said he would never do.

(Walker clip played here by Maddow)

MADDOW: No room to negotiate. That was Governor Scott Walker more than two weeks ago insisting as he did repeatedly that he was not willing to negotiate. He was not willing to budge on union stripping.

But as it turns out, that after picking this fight, after saying he would never negotiate, Governor Walker is negotiating now

clip

Then came news today that Scott Walker‘s own party, the state‘s Senate Republicans caucused, and the news from that caucus was not good for the governor. Remember, the governor can only afford to lose three Republican senators and still get his union-stripping bill passed. And three Republican senators have now made public comments that the Republican governor should compromise

LOL. But wait, won’t people start calling them Fleepers? A scary thought. Endless possibilities for confusing Jim Robinson with Rachel Maddow.

Thanks, normally I ad the video link to the post but was too lazy to find it today. I watch her pretty regularly and saw this gloating segment and of course her reaction the next day when the Senate passed the bill.

The MSNBC liberal Cenk Uygur (6pm EST) did the same sort of gloating that day, but I don't find him as annoying and arrogant as Maddow. Maddow always plays the ‘Republicans are stupid racists’ theme.

We were talking about beautiful people. I said “Rachel Maddow” and she just kind of took the ball from there.

It is all over but the shouting. Wisconsin, you won.

Can we just take a second to let that sink in for a moment?

OK. As I said, the out of state Wisconsin Senate Democrats are still out of state. They are not claiming victory on this yet.

Oppps.

The ugly, little, skinny guy that's on msnbc at 9:00 stepped on his crank with steel tipped golf shoes.

In the words of maddow's lover, "Just another premature exclamation, anticipation, ejaculation, celebration...".

“We won ...”
No lefty bias here. No sir.

I don’t care if she says we won. Just admit you are a leftist, tell that to or audience and let the chips fall where they may.

It isn’t the communists that bother me. It is their lying about not being one that does.

During an interview with conservative talk radio host Charlie Sykes this past Monday, Democrat Mayor Tom Barrett of Milwaukee (and Scott Walker’s former opponent for Governor) said, “You could vote on those without those missing senators. You could vote on those tomorrow morning. You don’t need 20 senators to vote on those changes to the collective bargaining. Again, if someone really wanted to end this standoff, the way you would end it is simply have a separate vote.

Sykes responded with, “Would you favor that?”

“I would certainly favor that”, replied Barrett, who’s top five campaign contributions came from labor unions.

So, great idea and thank you Tom Barrett!

I believe “it” would be equivalent to some sort of chronic wasting disease.
