his 'desk' story was one for the ages. - Carlos Ayala
He actually said that about the "elite media" but I thought that meant all those Twitter users who have been talking crap about Palin the past three days. - Robert Scoble
Maybe he was talking about FriendFeeders. :-) You all are pretty elite, if I have to say so myself. - Robert Scoble
Uhm... the desk story was sort of ridiculous. - Ricardo Vidal
So you're saying Twitter users are "Elite Media"? Excuse me while I clean the diet pepsi from my computer monitor. You're kidding, right? - Wayne Schulz
Not to mention that turnaround is fair play. Dems have been complaining about Fox and Rush Limbaugh for years. Huckabee never complained about THEM when Bush got elected. - Robert Scoble
@Ricardo excuse me for not adding /sarcasm at the end of my post. - Carlos Ayala
Wayne: pretty damn elite. They communicate with only 140 characters. Certainly takes a lot more skill than any politician has. :-) Of COURSE I'm kidding. Are you really that serious? Geesh. - Robert Scoble
Big reach, Scoble. You know he was talking about CNN et al. - John Denver
Has the Huckster gotten anything right lately? - Jack Carlson
Craig: his words were "elite media." John Denver: of course I know he was talking about, but the blogs and many Twitterers have been far harsher against Palin than anything I've seen on CNN or MSNBC. - Robert Scoble
So I guess being tech-savvy and online with our self-expression, courageous enough to publicly question the status quo makes us elite? Nice...I've never been elite before. I feel so...like...elite and stuff. Shortly after that comment, CNN's ticker/caption thingy said: "Mike Huckabee supports health and weight loss", as if that's the most poignant thing he could muster. - Rich Harris
I was listening to WBZ (through iTunes) and when he came on I turned it off. And I have to agree, Robert that a lot of Twitterers and bloggers have been really harsh on them, which can be a bit upsetting at times. I can't believe how many times today I was screaming at the computer with stuff I've read on FF and Twitter. *lol* - Molly, the Merry Maker
They are purposefully confusing what they are talking about when they say Media so nobody knows if they are complaining about MSM or DK or twitters, i.e., if someone on DK says something nasty, they can blame CNN and decide not to appear in the media until November - which is the only way they can win at this point. - Bora Zivkovic
All religious freaks fear the future, bashing anything they don't understand. Huckabee is just jealous that Twitter is more popular then Republican party. BTW, did he say anything about Palin's daughter getting pregnant and how blasphemous it was to have to have sex without being married? - Shane
Does Huckaby realize that there are Republicans on Twitter? (and Friendfeed, too, I think. :) - ha3rvey
Harvey: just to be clear. He didn't call out Twitter users. He called out the "elite media" who has been talking about Palin in negative terms past few days. I guess he should have called out DailyKOS. - Robert Scoble
@shane "Huckabee is just jealous that Twitter is more popular then Republican party" - ROLFMAO - Ian May
Twitter is more popular then Republican party -- how quickly we forget the fail whale - Craig Eddy
Umm, humor fail? 21st Century fail? Can't pick. - Kevin Bondelli
Problem is, Huckabee never mentioned Twitter. Once again someone with a huge following on Twitter, Friendfeed, etc, gets it wrong. Shane, I'm one of those religious "freaks" who DOESN'T fear the future one bit. Oh, Senator Obama said to leave the children out of this. Pick a new target for your bile. - Charles LePage
more popular that the rep party. That's good. LOL. But so true. - Chris
Charles, I think Scoble was kidding. Did you catch his comment after mine earlier? - ha3rvey
Charles: give me a break. He said "elite media." I had a little fun with that. ANYONE who cares is watching the RNC right now anyway and knows what I said. Geesh, do you really think everyone on Twitter is stupid? Can I quote you on that? - Robert Scoble
And the line was "the reporting of the past few days have proven tackier than a costume change at a Madonna concert." Robert Scoble got it wrong TWICE. And you wonder why people don't trust the media. - Charles LePage
Scoble....there's always a hater or 3......:-) - Rich Harris
"Geesh, do you really think everyone on Twitter is stupid? Can I quote you on that?" No, I don't give you permission to use your stature on Twitter and FF to misrepresent what I said. - Charles LePage
The entire quote: "I’d like to thank the elite media for something quite frankly I didn’t believe could be done — that is unifying the Republican Party and all of America (behind McCain/Palin). The reporting of the past few days has proven tackier than a costume change at a Madonna concert." He said the reporting was tacky, not the reporters, not people on Twitter. The REPORTING. - Charles LePage
Wow Scoble, way to take a quote out of context. If you can't come up with valid arguments I guess you have to settle for BS propaganda? - pitlord
