Pearl Harbor, Dec. 8, 1941– Admiral Husband E. Kimmel Monday said he was “thrilled” at the results of Sunday’s Japanese air strike against the U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor that sank or damaged all eight of the U.S. battleships in the base at the time.
“Hey, the way you win a naval battle is to not lose any carriers, and our carriers weren’t even there. Besides, the Colorado was in drydock in Bremerton, Washington, and will soon be sailing to Hawaii with its eight 16 inch guns, spoiling for a fight,.” Kimmel said.
Vice Admiral Scott McInnis echoed his chief’s positive spin.
“John Paul Jones said ‘I have not yet begun to fight.’ “, McInnis said. “And that’s my attitude: I don’t intend to begin to fight either.”
Sounds familiar, like on the Democratic side.
that the McInnis campaign should really be scared at all. Yeah Maes beat him by a percentage, but did they really vote for him because of his “qualifications”? People are only “supporting” him because they don’t like Scott McInnis, like in that spot posted on colopols the other day. I’d like to see a tea partier defend his “qualifications” rationally.
is Maes anti-establishment or anti-experience?
and Hickenlooper sucks at bringing jobs to Colorado. That’s enough for me.
So we’ve established that he has experience in business, but how far will that get him being GOVERNOR?
but somewhere during the 08 elections it turned into all rabid right wing, all the time.
I think I have heard better Left-Right on Fox than Silverman/Caplis lately.
That said, I caught this exchange yesterday in an OCD moment of channel surfing and just chuckled as Caplis turned it into an attack on Hickenlooper. Then pop, back to Mario.
when Bennet said that his loss what a “crippling blow” to the Romanoff campaign. It’s the usual loser spin, saying that they weren’t really going for a win but rather are just honored to be on the ballot yada yada yada.
The day after Bennet’s caucus loss, his campaign sent out an email with this language:
(Emphasis added)
Sounds a lot like McInnis now, trying to spin a loss as a win/bad for the winner somehow.
a few weeks ago in Utah. Colorado Senator Bennet is the one who sounded a lot like McInnis trying to spin a loss into a win when he couldn’t carry the majority of his party’s base.
B-e-n-n-e-t
I thought you were talking about the state assembly results. But, still, thanks for the info.
In fact, it’s really bizarre they both picked the same word to describe their loss:

Thanks to PeterFisk for noticing that
Bennet didn’t say that.
You’re a liar.
big, fat
Now you’re going to parse the difference between “crippling blow” and “serious blow” as a reason to call somebody a liar???
Has political discourse reached this point now?
that’s about all Ralphie and MADCO have left.
I beg forgiveness on remembering one word from a several month old release incorrectly. You’re absolutely right — Bennet’s campaign spun their loss at the caucus as a “serious blow” to the Romanoff campaign, not a “crippling” one.
So in addition to the Bennet campaign trying to spin a loss as anything but, they also need a thesaurus to make their releases more interesting.
but I will anyway.
I doubt that “serious” and “crippling” are considered synonyms in the thesaurus.
This is the first time that either Democratic US Senate campaign has engaged in spin. First time ever.
🙂
not very much.
Both were perceived frontrunners who lost and then tried to spin their loss as a win. So…yeah…it’s just like that.
If you can find some predictions here or elsewhere from Bennet camp or supporters or anyone for that matter please post your links.
On the other hand, McInnis was favored.
Thus it is not like that. But I understand where you are coming from…spin land.
regardless of expectations. Two major candidates both lost and spun it — that was the only point I was making.
are both fruit. As are tomatoes.
I like avocado
He found it a victory to get over 30% and was worried he might have garnered under 30%. If so, he’s got a very pessimistic view of his chances.
Why in the world would you do that?
What exactly did McInnis expect? Maes was hoping to lose so they wouldn’t be in a fight?
Will Joe G only go after the “overdog” Maes and leave poor Scooter alone?
Where’s Josh? Since he may need a job real soon, he’ll probably pitch in to help, don’t you think?
He will have a job regardless of who wins. He’s close enough to the GOP power that if Norton wins and Scooter loses, he’ll be her chief. If Norton loses and Scooter wins, he’ll be his chief.
If both loses he’ll work for the oil and gas folks. Penry will be fine.
That’s why he’s throwing his career in government away. He’d probably rather be making big bucks with oil and gas.
The only thing the campaign may actually be worried about now is having to spend their time, money, resources fighting against the Maes campaign.
Im thrilled hes thrilled that he’s not going to get in and the Hick is!
“Complete the danged fence!”
Just asking. I listened to the first part of the show with Garnett and then Suthers. This is how it goes:
1) caplis introduces Suthers by attacking Garnett. Silverman is silent.
2) Suthers talks; caplis reinforcing everything suthers says by attacking Garnett. Silverman mutters quietly.
3) Garnett comes on the show, and caplis takes the suthers position and attacks everything garnett says. Silverman half heartedly participates by whinning every once in a while…”the worst plea bargain in the world, come on!”
4) Suthers comes back on and refutes everything garnett said.
I want to boot him in the butt half the time, but he can also be a decent interviewer and commentator.
I think Silverman wanted to see if he could get McInnis mad again since he had been so successful at doing that the first time McInnis was on the show. I think Silverman is the consummate prosecutor and just wanted to play with McInnis.
