floor of the house today. i ll give you an example. democratic congressman john lewis had strong words for republicans. here it is. what is happening here today is shameful, it is a disgrace, it is unreal, it is unbelievable. we can do better. if we fail today, how will you face your neighbor? family who are suffering. where s your compassion?! where s your heart?! where is your soul?! dana milbank, where does it end? give me the exit strategy. that s the problem. usually you can sort of see how these things work out. the disagreement here is fairly trivial, and it s not clear that the democrats have any incentive to get in, so they may just let the republicans stew in their own juice for many more days. and it looks like some people are canceling their holiday
question can we engage in a war and actually end it? the old question of colin powell, can we have an exit strategy? we left. is that in itself a good exercise, being able to leave? there was an independent iraqi government that told us to leave. that s a good sign. so how could we stay? i think that s a good point. we have to keep telling senator mccain, we don t own these countries, they tell us when to leave. bob herbert, sir, have a nice vacation. i m sorry, a nice christmas period coming up. and kimberly, thank you for your service to journalism all these years. and when we return, let me finish with why the republican wisemen want to stop newt with everything they ve got. and wise women, i should say. some of the best columnists on the right now are women. center right, that is. you re watching hardball, only on msnbc. so i m glad it s with fidelity. they offer me
disdain that it deserves. kimberly, i think one of the questions i want to go to kimberly first, is this whole question can we engage in a war and actually end it? the old question of colin powell, can we have an exit strategy? we left. is that in itself a good exercise, being able to leave? there was an independent iraqi government that told us to leave. that s a good sign. so how could we stay? i think that s a good point. we have to keep telling senator mccain, we don t own these countries, they tell us when to leave. bob herbert, sir, have a nice vacation. i m sorry, a nice christmas period coming up. and kimberly, thank you for your service to journalism all these years. and when we return, let me finish with why the republican wise men want to stop newt with everything they ve got. and wise women, i should say. some of the best columnists on the right now are women. center right, that is. you re watching hardball, only on msnbc. lashes want volume or length? how abo
decision of a complete pullout of united states troops from iraq was dictated by politics and not our national security interest. i believe the history will judge this president s leadership with this scorn and disdain that it deserves. kimberly, i think one of the questions i want to get to kimberly first, can we engage in a war and actually end it? the old question to colin powell, can we have an exit strategy? being able to leave? there was an independent iraqi government that told us to leave. that s a good sign. so how could we stay? i think that s a good point. we don t own these countries. they tell us when to leave. bob herbert, have a nice vacation and kimberly, thank you for your service to journalism all these years. and wise men want to stop newt and wise women.
you do not think that team axelrod is going to pour into all those divorce records. how do you think obama became senator in the first place? we are deciding who is the best person to run against obama and the best chances to beat obama. we have to calculate that. we don t know half of it. his baggage will have baggage after axelrod is done with him. new exit strategy in between marriages isn t very good when he leaned over that s a myth. sorry. that s a myth. that is a myth. what do you say? it didn t happen. you know better than anyone. ladies and gentlemen, attention! i m still barely in control here. we ve got one piece of poll data that is interesting and we re going to chew on that for a second. would you vote for a qualified presidential candidate who had an extramarital affair? 64% now say yes. 26% say no. 7% say well, it depends. sheryl lee? very interesting. that says a lot about us as people.
