Begala advised Biden: 'Instead of calling a press conference and saying, 'I really am sharp,' you attack the other guy'
Published February 9, 2024 5:00pm ESTFormer Bill Clinton strategist and CNN political commentator Paul Begala admitted Friday that Special Counsel Robert Hur’s indictment of President Biden’s memory and Biden's response was "terrible for Democrats," joking he "wet the bed" over it.
Begala, a Biden supporter, quipped on CNN Friday that he did not sleep well over all the bedwetting he did in response to Hur’s report on Biden's handling of classified documents.
The findings of the report revealed Biden willfully retained classified U.S. documents as a private citizen, but charges were not recommended against the 46th president over his actions, partly because he would have a defense at trial as a "sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory."
BIDEN 'BLEW MY MIND' BY CONTRADICTING FACTS IN SPECIAL COUNSEL REPORT, SAYS CNN LEGAL ANALYST
The special counsel’s claims alarmed both Democratic Party members and Biden himself, who held a press conference in part to dispute the claims about his competence Thursday.
Begala lamented the report and Biden’s response to it. He began, quipping, "Oh yeah. Look, I’m a Biden supporter, and I slept like a baby last night: I woke up every two hours crying and wet the bed."
"This is terrible for Democrats. And anybody with a functioning brain knows that," he declared.
The commentator then advised what Biden should’ve done instead of getting defensive at his press conference. "But here’s what you do. Instead of calling a press conference and saying, 'I really am sharp,' you attack the other guy."
'I think Biden made it worse, no question about it,' Begala said, echoing the reaction of many in the media.
Begala suggested Biden follow his own advice and use the strategy of reminding voters of the contrast between himself and former President Trump, his likely 2024 opponent who is facing criminal charges over his own alleged mishandling of classified material.
"So everything with Biden has to be not 'I’m great,' but, 'The other guy is really damaging, dangerous, a threat,’" Begala said.
He then reiterated that Biden just "needs to be on the attack" against Trump rather than worry too much about his gaffes or concerns about his age.
Maher said it best, he has become Ruth Bader Biden, and a solid block of Dems are too busy making up stories about terrorists being ethnically cleansed to see they are about to welcome back trump to DC."You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."0 -
I don't like Maher that much anymore either but he's not that far off base. That wing of the Dem party is akin to the Bernie Bros who stayed home in 2016.gimmesometruth27 said:

The fact that the dems did not take advantage of putting him in front of the largest television audience since the moon landing for a favorable interview is pretty a big red flag for me.www.myspace.com0 -

I can't agree on going right...he's pissed that Dems don't fight harder for sure.
I saw him do stand up at the Mirage in LV a few years back and thought he was great. His stand up isn't quite as political.Remember the Thomas Nine !! (10/02/2018)

Maybe I don’t see enough of him, but he seems to grasp on to social media trends that attempt to paint “the left” as an extreme fringe. Also too much get off my lawn stuff from him.0

Yeah. He's too "online" as the kids would say.

His entire family was now dead — his parents, his two brothers, and the wife and three children of one of those brothers. The house was reduced to rubble on top of them in the barrage of airstrikes that Israeli warplanes inflicted across Rafah before dawn Monday as cover for troops rescuing two hostages elsewhere in the city on the southern Gaza border.
At least 74 Palestinians were killed in the bombardment, which flattened large swaths of buildings and tents sheltering families who had fled to Rafah from across Gaza.
Among the dead were 27 children and 22 women, according to the Palestinian Center for Human Rights, whose researchers compiled the list from Rafah hospitals. The Israeli offensive has taken a heavy toll on women and children, with more than 12,300 Palestinian children and young teens killed in the conflict, the Gaza Health Ministry said Monday.

I used to agree with a lot of his opinions, smugness notwithstanding, but I find myself disagreeing with his positions less and less as time goes on... and the smugness hasn't gone away either, so that's not helping.0 -

Kind of disagree on his interviews being great though. He tends to let people walk all over him at times.www.myspace.com0

But he has to let them go to some degree or no one will ever come on his show from the opposition. This is why some of the mainstream news shows do the same thing.

As far as the mainstream news, you think that is it? I think people like Kristen Welker are just unprepared and horrible at their jobs.www.myspace.com0 -
