dana: listen to greg. greg: let me make a point about mitt. what bugs me most about the election is that good character is now a character flaw. we love newt s assertiveness. but he is an alpha male in a religious that rejects alpha behavior. he s not used to being boastful or assertive. he is used to being humble. because she humble he is not succeeding. that sun fair. bob: here is a perfect definition of a pirate. he goes in and ploppedderspiss, takes the booty and then he puts it out on cayman islands. that s where the pirates are. eric: he divided it bob: despite what andrea says it s politics 101 to release taxes. dana: i don t know how i lost total control of the segment. eric: bob is right. he is touching on something. if he has something to hide, he bet ver a better answer, talking about romney.
It. bob: gingrich never had an unspoken thought. he will make a mistake. he has a tendency to put his foot in his mouth in the debate. andrea: too many unspoken thoughts. bob: one thing we haven t talked about romney again his refusal to release taxes. last night his answer was as bad as newt s was good. maybe. i ll tell you why. he won t do it until april because there is bad stuff in there. dana: not bat stuff. bob: wait a second. andrea: scaring everybody. dana: halftiming my segment. andrea: speculative, ridiculous. bob: before you say that. if you were a political consultant giving him advice would you tell him to bring his candidates out? andrea: no. every candidate you work for, you know it s coming and have taxes ready. he didn t. that is a mistake.
dana: it s not like they want a picture of demi moore. greg: this is crazy. cougar has been known for a cougar for thousands of years. how angry must they be now we re not cougars anymore. middle age lonely woman is a cougar. by the way, they re a myth. you only think of one. demi moore. one. dana: courtney cox. she was in the show. star of the show. dana: that s not real, dana. they re thinking about the movie. bob: cougars. eric: stop it, robert. don t go there. dana: i am thinking about all of you today. greg called this morning, in a very bad mood. i got him some crabby pants mr . crabby patty. i got bob whoppers. he told a couple this week. andrea great cat because she
