The Effervescent Tad Devine




Devine earlier this summer on Meet the Press

This morning on FoxNews Sunday, Tad Devine looked like he had taken his happy pills. You could tell by the way his hands were clenched that he was consciously trying to keep his sneer under control.

Devine was probably remembering Rush Limbaugh's words from August 17th: "His facial expression looks like he's sneering. I saw him last night. He was on Matthews' show, Hardboiled, and he was on with Matt Dowd, who's from the Bush-Cheney committee, and they were arguing about something else, but this Tad Devine, I mean just looks like he's sneering. You know, all these Kerry people look like they're mad at the world and mean and all these celebrity supporters out there mad at the world and mean and all the Michael Moores -- you just wonder, this does not seem to me to be the recipe for going out and spreading the love and compassion and good vibes and all that."

Tad Devine HAS to be on good behavior. A prime example of his outright lies is this exchange with Judy Woodruff on CNN:

WOODRUFF: Tad Devine, let me ask you about something that Dick Cheney said that some people might say was a devastating criticism. He said, "John Kerry declared at the Democratic Convention, ‘We will forcefully defend America after we have been attacked’." He went on to say, "My fellow Americans, we’ve already been attacked." How do you answer that?

DEVINE: I answer that, Judy, by saying that that is an absolute complete lie, and the vice president of the United States knows it.

Hmmmmmmm, Tad...what is your definition of "Attack???"
