Have to resist this urge to say nutty things. in the past when republicans get into this situation, everyone wants to out do themselves or out do their fellow republicans and they say nuttier and nuttier things and it turns what could be a political winner into a political loser because people start to feel sorry for the president or the democrats are going after him. and prominent conservatives, jim, have come out and said things like that. charles krauthammer said let s drop the watergate nixon impeachment jail, drop that talk for now until we have more details. if that becomes appropriate later then you can use those terms but as donnie has been pointing out it sort of delegitimizes you when you reach that far when we ve only just begun. especially when you have if you think of all three scandals at this point, benghazi, the ap, and what is happening with the irs, there is no evidence yet that touches the president and his inner circle. there is no doubt that especially the irs ....

It was late yesterday evening dealing with the irs scandal. i felt good about it because he was doing the thing that he doesn t like to do which was get out in front of something and be emphatic and forceful and say it s going to get fixed. it s going to get done and then walked right out the door. i still have some questions but overall point of ew, willie? well, in one scandals that are plaguing the white house. he release the e-mails on benghazi, accepted the resignation of the acting head of the irs and called for a media shield law regarding the ap story so he finally personally encountered all three and took action. i think that front and center confronting something directly to everybody is very effective. donny, i ll let you speak the one knock on him throughout his presidency is that kind of lack of grabbing testosterone take charge. having said that, pew, 44% of this country is following benghazi. none of these three things are going to stick. ....

The president and the white house yet. so if you are sitting at home and watching this, all unfold, and people are saying, well this is worse than watergate, he s corrupt. there becomes a disconnect. that s what privately republicans are cautioning their members. back off. put a sock in it. calm down. let s do the hearings and see where it leads and see who knew what was happening at the irs, see what was happening at justice and not get ahead of the story. there is always a temptation to get ahead of the story. michael crowley in the storm of this last week or so as the three of these controversies have bubbled to the surface a lot of people are saying it hamstrings the president, puts in jeopardy his entire second-term agenda. is that an over statement at this point? i think so. it s interesting you just used the word controversies. i was going to jump in. referring to three scandals isn t the right way to talk about it. for instance, what happened with the associated press is no ....

Albeit through an aggressive interpretation. it s a policy dispute. it is not a scandal. the president had nothing to do with that. so i tend to think that the more people kind of digest this information, break it down, particularly now with benghazi, i think the e-mails are furthering the case that there is just not that much there, i think this is going to dissipate. i think the irs thing is going to hang around for a while. there are going to be hearings. more heads could roll. you know, at the end of the day though what this does is just chews up media oxygen and prevents the president from driving his message. the last thing i ll say is it could have a counterintuitive up side. immigration reform. what is right wing talk radio talking about right now? it s the, quote-unquote, scandals, the failure of the obama presidency. they re not driving the antiimmigration reform message that a lot of conservative antireform activists want out there. so there could be sort of unintended conse ....

Operating for several months, perhaps a couple years, with no net in terms of support up on the hill for him. is there a sense in the white house, off of what jay carney was asked, is there a siege mentality within the white house? do they feel particularly threatened by the development of all three things right now? i think underline that point that you re making that just yesterday only a couple within 100 hours of all the scandals sort of happening at once you saw the headlines saying d.c., the nation s capital has turned on the president. that would imply that they were already on his side. there was obviously a lot of challenge to this white house given those slim relationships at times with the folks on capitol hill. the white house would insist they don t feel like they re under a siege mentality. the white house would tell you they think the irs issue is the one that really does have the most legs, the real issue, the one that does stick in some form. they put out, i was in t ....
