CHRIS MATTHEWS, HOST: Karl Rove gets nasty, but what else is new?
Let's play HARDBALL.
Good evening. I'm Chris Matthews in Washington.
Leading off tonight: Shades of Nixon. Karl Rove is reaching back into the Nixon playbook and charging that President Obama has an "enemies list." Rove's claim came in response to the president's claim that Rove and others orchestrated election ads paid for by unnamed foreign donors. The ferocity of the Republican attacks—that's our top story.
Plus, the Democrats' hopes of portraying the Republican field as a freak show has gotten a big boost. First, Carl Paladino, the GOP candidate for governor of New York, said he didn't want children being, quote, "brainwashed into thinking that homosexuality is acceptable." Then we learn that a Republican candidate for Congress likes to dress up like a Nazi in World War II reenactments. Well, try explaining that proclivity to the voters.
Also, honey, get me rewrite. Remember we told you that the guys in that Republican West Virginia ad were actually actors hired in Philly? Well, tonight, one of those actors joins us to talk about his role. Guess who he supports?
And Sarah Palin, move over. "Saturday Night Live" has new favorite, Christine O'Donnell.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Besides, if I were a witch, why wouldn't I just cast a spell making all of you forget that I'm a witch? It's certainly not because the spell requires one newt (ph) per person and I lack a sufficient number of newts.
MATTHEWS: We'll have more on that in the HARDBALL "Sideshow" tonight.
Of course, tonight is all "Sideshow," it seems.
"Let Me Finish" tonight with how we can put people back to work and keep this country competitive with Europe and Asia at the same time.
All that's ahead. Now let's get to the latest poll numbers in tight races around the country. For that, we go to the HARDBALL "Scoreboard." We'll start with Kentucky, where that Senate race is tightening up. Republican Rand Paul now has only a 3-point lead over Jack Conway, the very attractive Democratic candidate, and Bill Clinton campaigned for Conway today. Look for an upset there.
And in Wisconsin, it's Republican Johnson with an 8-point lead over Senator Russ Feingold. Doesn't look good in Wisconsin.
We'll continue to check the HARDBALL "Scoreboard" on all the big races each night leading up to election day.
Now to those new nasty attacks against President Obama and accusations from Karl Rove that the president's keeping an "enemies list." David Corn's the Washington bureau chief for "Mother Jones" and also writes for Politicsdaily.com. And Chris Cillizza's with "The Washington Post."
Gentlemen, thank you for joining us to start Columbus Day. Here's Karl Rove on Fox. Talk about bringing coal to Newcastle.
MATTHEWS: Let's listen.
KARL ROVE, FMR. BUSH SR. ADVISER, FOX CONTRIBUTOR: They have not one shred of evidence to back up that baseless lie. This is a desperate and I think disturbing trend by the president of the United States to tar his political adversaries with some kind of, you know, enemies list with being unrestrained by any facts or evidence whatsoever!
MATTHEWS: Human talking points. Here's President Obama Thursday in Chicago. Let's listen to what the president said.
BARACK OBAMA, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: Two groups funded and advised by Karl Rove have outspent the Democratic Party 2 to 1 in an attempt to beat Alexi, 2 to 1 -- funded and advised by Karl Rove. Just this week, we learned that one of the largest groups paying for these ads regularly takes in money from foreign sources.
So the question for the people of Illinois is, Are you going to let special interests from Wall Street and Washington and maybe places beyond our shores come to this state and tell us who our senators should be? That's not just a threat to Democrats, that's a threat to our democracy!
MATTHEWS: Well, the Democrats are doubling down on that argument that the Republican campaigns this year are being sponsored and paid for by unknown people, by anonymous sources, secret sources, some of them from abroad, from outside the country.
Let's take a look at that new DNC ad that makes the same point. The Democrats are doubling down. That may explain why Rove has come out of the bushes on this thing. Let's listen.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Karl Rove, Ed Gillespie—they're Bush cronies. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, they're shills (ph) for big business, and they're stealing our democracy, spending millions from secret donors to elect Republicans to do their bidding in Congress. It appears they've even taken secret foreign money to influence our elections. It's incredible, Republicans benefiting from secret foreign money. Tell the Bush crowd and the Chamber of Commerce, Stop stealing our democracy.
MATTHEWS: Well, that ripped a scab off, didn't it.
MATTHEWS: I understand why old Rove came out of the bushes—
MATTHEWS: I guess somebody rousted him on this—
DAVID CORN, "MOTHER JONES": I want to know what that woman was doing (INAUDIBLE) on her own when her purse was stolen in that ad. But Karl Rove is really mugging or spinning history when he equates what the Obama White House and DNC is doing to an "enemies list." The enemies list—
MATTHEWS: Well, here what he was doing, he's trying to make the president, who has a very high personal approval rating, come down a bit in personal approval—
CORN: The enemies list was a secret list of people who—you know, including Gregory Peck, Joe Namath, Paul Newman, these great opponents of the White House, who, according to a White House memo—they said, How can we screw these guys? That was the White House language—
CHRIS CILLIZZA, "WASHINGTON POST," MSNBC POLITICAL ANALYST: You know
CORN: -- not mine. I mean, all Obama's doing is calling out his political opponents—
CORN: -- and Rove is—
MATTHEWS: -- but he knows what he's doing. Chris Cillizza, isn't that—
CILLIZZA: Yes, sir?
MATTHEWS: -- the strategy of Rove, who knows what he's doing? He's a nasty bugger, but he—what is he doing here? It seems to me what he's doing is saying, I knows the president's personally popular, so let's call Dick Nixon.
CILLIZZA: Well, Chris, I don't disagree with you there, but I would say this is a political win-win. Look, Barack Obama knows that by talking about Karl Rove, foreign money, these outside groups that are involved in spending money on campaigns, it gets the Democratic base, which we've talked about endlessly—
MATTHEWS: Oh, you're so smart!
CILLIZZA: -- isn't that excited—it gets them interested. Karl Rove—
MATTHEWS: Cillizza—Cillizza—
CILLIZZA: Karl—Karl—
MATTHEWS: You are growing every day in wisdom!
MATTHEWS: You jumped ahead of me.
MATTHEWS: You've answered my question, Chris, before I asked it. Let me just try to question some—some of the slower ones among us, like me, will get to the question before you get to the answer.
CILLIZZA: Yes, sir.
MATTHEWS: The question is, Why would a president who's way up here, president of the United States, attack this little guy down here named Karl Rove, who just—
CILLIZZA: -- punching down in politics is usually not a good idea. You know, you always want to be the little guy who the big guy talks about because, well, then you're in—
MATTHEWS: Right.
CILLIZZA: -- the conversation with the big guy. The one thing I would say that I think is a little odd—I get why the president's doing it, Chris. But for Karl Rove, gosh, I bet he is sitting back and smiling as broadly—
MATTHEWS: Yes, I agree with you.
CILLIZZA: -- as possible because American Crossroads, this group that he—if he didn't found, he helped develop the idea for—
CILLIZZA: -- Barack Obama attacking Karl Rove is great for fund raising.
CORN: Well, the bigger point, too, is that John Boehner is not as big a target as Karl Rove. He's not as—
MATTHEWS: Not hatable.
CORN: He's not as well known. He's—people in the base—
MATTHEWS: He's some guy on a golf course somewhere! Look, here's the question—
MATTHEWS: Karl Rove is the architect of everything that was evil. He was the guy that took us into that war, built the Iraq Study Group, the whole thing. Let me ask you about this. There's two options here. This was my primitive question I was going to put to Chris Cillizza—
MATTHEWS: -- before he trumped me. The first—the options were either the president's making a big mistake here by punching low, going down on some—you know, some political operative, or he knows that when you're facing a ferocious political situation, where you're losing the right, probably losing most of the middle, you've got to hold the left. You've got to hold your base.
CORN: Well, you have to—listen—
MATTHEWS: And he's doing it—
CORN: -- right now—
MATTHEWS: -- like Chris says.
CORN: Right now, the right has a target. It's President Obama. The Democrats are running 435 races and 33 --
CORN: -- Senate races. They have no centralized target. The White House tried with Boehner, now they're trying with Karl Rove.
MATTHEWS: Let's bring in David Axelrod here because he talked to Bob Schieffer yesterday. They're talking about the same question, What's this fight about? How did the president get into a fight with this middleweight champion who lost a few championship belts over the years, Karl Rove? Let's listen.
BOB SCHIEFFER, "FACE THE NATION": This part about foreign money—that appears to be peanuts, Mr. Axelrod. I mean, do you have any evidence that it's anything other than peanuts?
DAVID AXELROD, WHITE HOUSE SENIOR ADVISER: Well, do you have any evidence that it's not, Bob? The fact is that the Chamber has asserted that, but they won't release any information about where their campaign money is coming from, and that's at the core of the problem here.
SCHIEFFER: If the only charge three weeks into the election that the Democrats can make is that somehow, this may or may not be foreign money coming into the campaign, is that the best you can do?
AXELROD: No, I think that we have a more—a fundamental concern, Bob, which is that the Republican Party and these interest groups, who are now the major force in some of these campaigns, want to turn the clock back to the very same policies that got us into this mess in the first place.
MATTHEWS: Here's Ed Gillespie, the former chair of the party, reacting to Axelrod on CBS. It's so interesting how this fight's developed in these last three weeks we're going into. Let's listen.
ED GILLESPIE, FORMER RNC CHAIRMAN: And the notion that David Axelrod, one of the highest-ranking officials, a sworn official in the White House, would sit on this set and say, I'm going to lob these charges and let them prove it's wrong—what if I accuse the cameraman here, of—Hey, you've taken foreign money. Let's—you know, prove that that's wrong. That is an unbelievable mentality!
MATTHEWS: Gillespie's talking about the cameraman there—a little weird. But I guess the point is—it seems to me—here's the question. Cillizza first. If the U.S. Chamber of Commerce raises millions and millions of dollars from its corporate sources, including overseas sources, and funnels that money into these Republican campaigns, what was illegitimate about what Axelrod and the president are saying? I don't understand Schieffer's question. I understand Schieffer would say, This ain't exactly this heaviest (INAUDIBLE) you've ever—
CILLIZZA: Right.
MATTHEWS: -- wheeled out here. But what's wrong with the basic charge?
CILLIZZA: Well, because it's—there's nothing wrong with the basic charge, Chris, but it's hard to prove a negative. The Chamber is—I think what the White House wants is for the Chamber to disclose all of the money that they're spending, which they're not going to do.
But what that kind of back and forth reminded me of—I'm going to dip into Boston history. There was a great "Cheers" episode in which Cliff (INAUDIBLE) presented with three historical figures. He doesn't know what the three of them have in common. His question is, Who are three people who have never been in my kitchen? Now, those people had never been in his kitchen, but that's not the point! I think that's Ed Gillespie's point here, like—
MATTHEWS: OK, let me—
MATTHEWS: Let me make a narrower case. A lot of working people in this country are suspicious that the big corporations spend all their time cutting jobs. They do it for globalization purposes. They engage in outsourcing. They send jobs overseas. They outsource their supply lines overseas. They do everything they can to screw the working person and make more money. That's what they think.
Who funds them? Or rather, where do they get their money? The U.S. Chamber of Commerce gets money from those very sources and uses it to elect people in Congress who will support that enterprise of shifting jobs overseas, cost cutting, eliminating the American workforce, basically. They have a grudge here which is pretty American, which is, You are screwing me. I'd like to know who's paying for this.
CORN: Chris—
MATTHEWS: That's fair.
CORN: Hey, Chris, I'm voting for you because you just made the argument better than the White House has made in the past few days. They got caught in this tar patch of whether there is or isn't foreign money, which is a legitimate question—
CORN: But the big issue is the special interest money because some of those companies doing that, sending jobs overseas, are not doing it for—
MATTHEWS: These companies don't care where they headquarter!
CORN: Exactly right. So the big issue is special interest money overall, and they're being caught up now in this little side—
MATTHEWS: What—I mean, Chris—
MATTHEWS: -- objective reporter. Let me put you an objective question.
CILLIZZA: Sure.
MATTHEWS: Chris, what is the number one goal of every major corporation in these tough times? Reduce costs. How do you reduce costs? Reduce payroll. How do you reduce costs? Get cheaper sources overseas from cheaper payrolls overseas from people who work for less in sweatshops. The whole goal is to benefit in your exchange with the working man and woman of this country. Who's side are you on? That's the political question—
CILLIZZA: Well, Chris, you just—to David's point, you've just framed it much more effectively than the White House. The White House is now in a debate over how much foreign money should they disclose. And I—
I agree with you. Look, populism—both populism on the Republican side and the Democratic side—has proved very effective. Sharron Angle ran as a populist, Rand Paul, in many regards, ran as a populist in their primaries. Populism still has a place in this country, particularly when you have three quarters of the country—
MATTHEWS: But it's not—
MATTHEWS: You make it sound like it's emotional. You work in our business.
CILLIZZA: I do.
MATTHEWS: I know how our business works. You reduce the number of camera people, you reduce the number of people who work in the business to reduce costs—
CILLIZZA: But Chris, that's not the debate.
MATTHEWS: That's how you—
CILLIZZA: But that's not the debate the White House—
MATTHEWS: I see it in front of me.
CILLIZZA: -- started. That's not the debate the White House started, which is big business is bad for America. I don't disagree that that's not a bad place for them to fight. They started on the U.S. Chamber takes money from foreign corporations. They didn't start on the broader—
MATTHEWS: But they do!
CILLIZZA: -- point—well, but I'm not debating—
CILLIZZA: I'm debating what the White House started on and—
MATTHEWS: But you're running against the so-called patriot side of everything. And the right wing claims to be the patriots, and it turns out they're using foreign money to get candidates who are elected will support the interests of multi-nation corporations. This is your argument.
CORN: Well, it is, but I think it's—to me, the source of the money is not the key thing.
CILLIZZA: Right.
CORN: It's what the Chamber and Karl Rove are doing. They're supporting businesses that are doing exactly what you say, lowering costs and trying to get jobs overseas. Whether they're doing that with money that comes from Paris or money that comes from Princeton, I don't care. And I think the White House has—has been—has allowed itself to—
MATTHEWS: OK, let's—
CILLIZZA: Karl Rove is smiling right now.
MATTHEWS: One of those guys that you (INAUDIBLE) guys that are out
there with the—with the big white uniforms on and the bullhorns blowing
not the bullhorns, the—whatever they're called—the megaphones—cheering on this right-wing cause. You know what they're doing. David Corn, thank you.
CILLIZZA: Chris, this is great—this is great for their—I have to say it. This whole eight, ten minutes was great for their fund-raising because Republican donors don't like President Obama, and the more it's Karl Rove versus President Obama, the more ads you're going to see from American Crossroads, like it or not.
MATTHEWS: I think you have to think about jobs. Jobs we have to talk
jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs—
MATTHEWS: -- David Corn, Chris Cillizza.
Coming up: If Democrats want to paint Republicans as extreme, they've got some new fodder. Catch what's coming. One Republican candidate dresses up like a Nazi. He says he's reenacting World War II, but why does he want to play that other side? Another one has lashed out against gays, saying children shouldn't be "brainwashed" into thinking homosexuality is acceptable. Strange characters showing up in this casting call. Let's call it the Republican nominating process.
You're watching HARDBALL, only on MSNBC.
MATTHEWS: Former president Bill Clinton's out on the campaign trail for Joe Manchin in West Virginia. Take a look at this unscripted moment from the rally today, when a woman in the audience fainted.
BILL CLINTON, FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: She'll be fine.
Believe me, at my age, it's—rarely does a lady faint on me.
CLINTON: The doctor says she's OK. And I'm going to save her reputation. It was the sun, not me, that made her faint.
MATTHEWS: Bill Clinton, he's unbelievable. What a politician.
Anyway, right there, you saw him right there.
HARDBALL back after this.
MATTHEWS: Back to HARDBALL. Well, two Republicans just underscored, if you will, the Democrats' argument that the Republican Party this year is in dangerous territory, going fringe, you might think. First, it came to light that Republican House Congress Rich Iott of Ohio—he's the nominated candidate—is a long-time member of a Nazi reenactment group. He likes to get dressed up like a Nazi, a Waffen SS character, over the weekends. That's his weekend warrior status.
And Republican candidate for New York governor Carl Paladino—you know, the guy who was going to snuff the reporter the other day, whatever (INAUDIBLE) saying, I'm going to take you out. He said that people who are gay are not equal to those who are straight. Well, fair enough, if you buy his arguments. Wait until you hear them.
CARL PALADINO (R-NY), CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR: I didn't march in the gay parade this year, the gay pride parade this year. My opponent did. And that's not the example that we should be showing our children. And don't misquote me as wanting to hurt homosexual people in any way. That would be a dastardly lie.
My approach is, live and let live. I just think my children and your children will be much better off and much more successful getting married and raising a family. And I don't want them to be brainwashed into thinking that homosexuality is an equally valid or successful option. It isn't.
MATTHEWS: Well, there you have the old choice argument that Trent Lott used to say—these kids are choosing between being gay and straight. It's an interesting choice decision.
You have to ask when Paladino made his choice.
Let me go. Josh Green's here. He broke the Rich Iott Nazi story for "The Atlantic." And Maggie Haberman is with the Politico.
Maggie—hold on for one second, Ms. Haberman. I want to go to the Nazi story. It's just too much for me.
You found out that this guy, Iott, who is running as the Republican nominee for Congress out in Ohio, has an avocation. Explain.
JOSH GREEN, "THE ATLANTIC": Well, he's a Nazi reenactor. He's part of a group that calls themselves—
MATTHEWS: I have never heard of such a thing.
GREEN: Neither had I.
MATTHEWS: They don't have them in Germany.
GREEN: Well, it's against the law in Germany. You can't put on a Waffen-S.S. uniform, like Iott did. You get arrested.
But this group exists mainly in the Midwest. They're called the Vikings and they are modeled after an actual German Second World War unit, which was part of the 5th S.S. Panzer division, mainly stationed on the eastern front. They get together on weekends.
MATTHEWS: Is this some kind of homoerotic thing they do? They put on these uniforms and dance around? What do they actually do?
GREEN: Well, they have a Web site. You can look at the videos pictures and see.
MATTHEWS: Well, what do they do?
GREEN: Well, they get together and kind of reenact these battles and shoot guns. They have got real equipment and—
MATTHEWS: OK. That's his defense. That's his defense. Who plays the Red Army? Do they have guys who like to reenact the Red Army? That's what I don't buy about this.
GREEN: I think they match up at like festivals and things like that.
MATTHEWS: But there's guys who like to do the Red Army number.
GREEN: Yes.
MATTHEWS: But I never heard of that either.
GREEN: I didn't either.
MATTHEWS: Do you believe it? Do you believe there's Red Army guys or just Waffen-S.S. guys who are claiming they're fighting somebody else; they just like these uniforms? You have never seen the uniforms on the other side, have you?
GREEN: I haven't. But I didn't know—
MATTHEWS: How do you know they exist? But you do see these pictures.
GREEN: You can find—all these guys are out there on the Internet.
MATTHEWS: For all you know, the other side is the cover argument, that there is some sort of reenactment. All you know is these guys like to put Nazi uniforms on.
GREEN: Well, that we know for sure, because there's a lot of pictures and videos.
MATTHEWS: Well, why?
GREEN: They say that it's because they're interested in World War II history. The problem is, when you talk to actual historians, they're appalled at this, because what they do, this group, is kind of romanticize and sanitize this version of history. They're into the guns and the uniforms, but there isn't really much mention of the extermination of Jews.
MATTHEWS: I read the guy's defense. He's—
MATTHEWS: Yes. I know, total lack of sympathy for the horror of the century, to put it lightly.
But what about the guy saying he sympathized with this little country that took on the world? He thought that was just, from a military point of view, so exciting. That's his defense.
GREEN: Yes, that they're really interested in kind of German history and these military achievements and very much interested in kind of glorifying World War II Germany while trying to kind of separate all the bad things that that country did.
MATTHEWS: OK, something you're not quite picking up here, or at least I think you've got to sell a little bit. It's not just him. This is a group that gets together. There's a number of people that like to do this.
GREEN: Yes. They have all e-mailed me today.
GREEN: Yes, he says millions. I couldn't put a number on it, but I got a couple of hundred e-mails from reenactors sort of just defending—
MATTHEWS: Nazi reenactors?
GREEN: Yes. They prefer the term World War II German reenactors, because Nazi has got some negative connotations.
MATTHEWS: Well, that's true. I think more than connotations.
GREEN: Yes.
MATTHEWS: Hold on there.
Let's go—here's how Iott defended his membership in the S.S. reenactment group.
"There's reenactors out there who do everything. Well, you know, you wouldn't do Civil War reenacting if somebody didn't play the role of the Confederates. I hope voters take it in context and see it for what it is, an interest in World War II history. And that's strictly it."
My son did one of those reenactments, Civil War, because he sort of got assigned to it sometimes, but he played the Southerner. But the fact is, both sides in the Civil War are proud of their history. Everybody watching right now from the South, whatever they—obviously, they don't like slavery, but they do like the guts of those guys who fought a much bigger army with mechanized force and all the advantages of wealth of the North.
And the Northerners obviously are proud of the fact that they fought for the republic and for the Union. But it's about pride and tradition. Where's the pride and tradition in being a Nazi? That's what I—I don't find available to me mentally. I don't get that. Why would you want to put that uniform on?
GREEN: Really, I can't explain—
MATTHEWS: These Southern guys who put on those Johnny Reb uniforms, if they will, are damn proud to put them on.
GREEN: Well, some of these guys—Iott has a German heritage. This is—he told me this is sort of the history of his country and that he thinks you can separate the atrocities of the Nazi army from the what he would consider acts of valor --
MATTHEWS: But the S.S.?
GREEN: -- Nazi, S.S. soldier. I'm not saying --
MATTHEWS: But he plays S.S. characters.
GREEN: Yes.
MATTHEWS: He doesn't play Wehrmacht, regular army.
GREEN: You know, I think this is why he's run into some trouble.
MATTHEWS: I think you gave the guy his best defense he's ever likely to get—
MATTHEWS: -- being a straight journalist on this.
MATTHEWS: Here's Paladino, the guy running for governor, Carl Paladino, running for governor of New York, trying to clarify his remarks this morning on "The Today Show."
These are his remarks that seemed to be pretty homophobic about the gay pride parade when he was talking to the Hasidim the other day. Let's listen.
PALADINO: That remark has to do with schooling children.
My feelings on homosexuality are unequivocal. I have absolutely no problem with it whatsoever. My only—my only reservation is marriage. That's the only reservation I have.
I have a lot of homosexuals working in my organization. Young children should not be exposed to that at a young age. They don't understand this. And it's a very difficult thing. And exposing them to homosexuality, especially at a gay pride parade—and I don't know if you have ever been to one, but—but they—they wear these little Speedos and they grind against each other. And it's just a terrible thing.
MATTHEWS: Maggie, thank you for joining us, Ms. Haberman. I don't know now you, but I'm calling you Maggie, because we do first names here.
But what do you make of this? What story of his do you buy?
MAGGIE HABERMAN, POLITICO: Well, I think that he was delivering lines that he didn't write and his aides didn't write last night. They were written for him by a pretty conservative rabbi who was showing him around.
That having been said, you are sort of responsible for your words. It was like a walk-back. And then he went ahead and doubled down again. I was with him throughout the Columbus Day parade today. He said it several times. He talked about the gay pride parade. He said that Andrew Cuomo had shown he wasn't a great father by taking his daughters to it.
He did say that his one issue with gay rights is gay marriage, and that's it. Other than that, he unequivocally supports them.
But it's pretty hard to go from that to talking about the night before questioning a valid lifestyle. I don't think there's much ambiguous about that. And, you know, it's amazing when a candidate actually ups their ante after they have accused their rival of extramarital affairs with this. We don't see this in New York very often.
MATTHEWS: Well, I guess—do you think there is any rationale to it? Is he going for the culturally conservative voter? He is a culturally conservative man, obviously.
HABERMAN: Yes.
MATTHEWS: Is he thinking that there's a 51 percent out there that would support his culturally conservative views?
HABERMAN: No. I think that he is being himself. I think that there has been a debate among his campaign, which is a very small group of advisers. I think he keeps his own counsel a lot. And I think that they are letting him be him.
MATTHEWS: I guess I have covered politics a long time, but I don't know about you, but, Maggie, have you ever heard of a politician agreeing to walk into a group and read the speech that he was handed by the group to read as if it were his words?
HABERMAN: No.
MATTHEWS: Here he is. We see the picture. He's stumbling over these words. He's manfully or whatever—I—trying to read these words, but they're not his words. And then afterwards, he sort of denies them.
HABERMAN: No, I have never heard of this before. I have never heard of a campaign picking up a script from a group that they were visiting and saying, yes, I will read this.
He says that he read it over in the car and he had some issues with it. His campaign said that it was given out to reporters actually. That's actually not true. I spoke to reporters who were there. It was given out beforehand.
Regardless, it is hard for reporters to separate out remarks that are attributed to a candidate as prepared for delivery and then be told this wasn't something that we did. This is something that was given to us.
This is the kind of thing that Carl Paladino, who does have a message that is actually resonating with a lot of people right now, especially because Andrew Cuomo's campaign has been seen as somewhat timid. But this is the problem he keeps running into, is he keeps sort of messing up and having to then spend another day backtracking or explaining or clarifying. It's never good when a candidate is explaining this much.
MATTHEWS: It's so interesting that he pointed out that he was given that sheet to read from when he went to visit the Hasidim community there and—Hasidic community—and he said—and he said, I struck out one line I didn't want to read that they had scripted for me. The line was, "There is nothing to be proud of in being a dysfunctional homosexual."
HABERMAN: Right.
MATTHEWS: I guess that makes him a moderate.
HABERMAN: Well, it moderated the remarks anyway, yes.
MATTHEWS: Yes. It's strange. It's but—ludicrous, the fact these people are where they are. But they are where they are.
Thank you for unmasking the—this guy in his uniform. It's amazing story.
MATTHEWS: I think you've done a good job of giving the guy a fair shake, and he still doesn't look too good.
Thank you, Josh Green.
Thank you, Maggie Haberman, for joining us.
MATTHEWS: Up next; Christine O'Donnell's bizarre "I am not a witch" ad gets the "SNL" treatment. You know it had to. That's next in the "Sideshow." This is a really great review of it.
You're watching HARDBALL, only on MSNBC. I think the whole night tonight is a sideshow. But we're going to call our segment still the "Sideshow."
And it's coming up next on MSNBC.
MATTHEWS: Back to HARDBALL. Time for the "Sideshow."
Party on, California. Republican candidates Meg Whitman and Carly Fiorina made a memorable appearance at Friday night's Hispanic awards dinner. You can see there a mariachi band cheered the two ladies on as they downed tequila shots.
Here's Fiorina showing the spirit.
CARLY FIORINA ®, CALIFORNIA SENATORIAL CANDIDATE: You know, I must say, this evening has spoiled me forever.
FIORINA: And I don't know. I think every speech should begin with a shot of tequila.
MATTHEWS: Wow. Meg Whitman, remember, has a problem with Latinos, having fired one after employing her illegally for nine years.
Next: "I am not a witch," that was the opening of Christine O'Donnell's campaign ad and the subject, of course, of "Saturday Night Live"'s latest send-up.
UNIDENTIFIED ACTRESS: Hi, I'm Christine O'Donnell, and I am not a witch. I'm nothing like you have heard. I'm you.
And, just like you, I have to constantly deny that I'm a witch.
That's the kind of candidate Delaware hasn't had since 1692.
UNIDENTIFIED ACTRESS: And that's why, if elected to the human Senate, I promise to fly straight down to Washington on a plane and do exactly what you would do, not spells.
So, this November 2, vote for Christine O'Donnell, AKA Sereda the Enchantress, because I am not a witch. And, if I am, do you really want to cross me? I didn't think so.
UNIDENTIFIED ACTRESS: Paid for by the Coven to Elect Christine O'Donnell, who is not a witch.
MATTHEWS: The Coven to Reelect—that "I am not a witch" ad, by the way, the original, may be the most unforgettable political ad ever.
Up next: New Hampshire Senate candidate Paul Hodes, he's starting to close the gap against his Republican opponent, Kelly Ayotte, but can he beat her? This is one of the close Senate races that will decide who controls the Senate. And the Democratic candidate, Paul Hodes, is coming here to HARDBALL in a minute—only on MSNBC.
MATTHEWS: Wild show tonight. Welcome back to HARDBALL.
One of the many states where Karl Rove and his associates are hitting Democratic candidates with TV ads is New Hampshire. Let's listen.
NARRATOR: In New Hampshire, Congressman Hodes claims:
REP. PAUL HODES (D-NH), SENATORIAL CANDIDATE: You deserve a senator who is a real fiscal conservative and who gets rid of the pork.
NARRATOR: But Hodes voted for the pork-filled stimulus bill, $1.9 million to study ants in Africa, $39 million for office upgrades for politicians, billions wasted and unemployment still higher. No wonder "The Union Leader" says the guy just can't tell the truth.
American Crossroads is responsible for the content of this advertising.
MATTHEWS: Well, the latest ARG poll of New Hampshire shows Hodes—that's the Democratic candidate, the congressman—trailing Republican Kelly Ayotte by just five points now. Ayotte's lead has been cut from 14 in just two weeks.
Congressman Hodes joins us now from Boston.
Congressman, thank you for joining us right now.
It seems like you're in a heck of a race right now. What are you doing that's selling with the voters? Why are they turning to you, going from 14 down to 5 down? It looks like the projection is good for you three weeks out.
HODES: Well, Chris, thanks.
Clearly, the momentum is with us in this campaign. And, really, it's because there's a simple choice in this election. Are you going to choose somebody who stands up for the people and against the special interests, or are you going to stand with somebody who wants to hand our government over to big oil, big Wall Street, the big health insurance companies, and who's been endorsed by folks like the Chamber of Commerce, who just released an avalanche of misleading, negative advertising that the New Hampshire voters have little appetite for.
And, Chris, today, there was a stunning development in this campaign. E-mails were just released which show that, back in 2006, Kelly Ayotte's chief campaign strategist way back then said to her, get ready to run. This was in late October of '06. She responded, "Have you seen that a police officer was killed and I'm going after the death penalty?"
He responded, "Well, we know where New Hampshire A.G. Ayotte stands on the death penalty by the switch."
It's stunning that as a public servant, the New Hampshire attorney general, the chief law enforcement officer, would inject the death penalty into a political context, try to use it as a spring board for her political ambitions. It's not the kind of—
MATTHEWS: Are you saying she set out to execute somebody in order to get votes?
HODES: What I'm saying is that she wasn't above, using a murder case and a death penalty case as a spring board for her personal—
MATTHEWS: Yes, but give the evidence of that again. You have e-mails. What do the e-mail from her suggest what you just said?
HODES: Well, because her immediate response when her campaign strategist in 2006 says get ready to run, her immediate response is, I've just announced I'm seeking the death penalty. And he says, absolutely right, I know where you stand, by the switch.
MATTHEWS: A switch like electric chair? Is that what you by switch?
HODES: That could be the only thing he could have meant. He's accepting what she says. He understands—
HODES: -- she's talking about using the death penalty as a political springboard. You know, it's wrong. It's not the way the A.G.'s office that I was in under David Souter worked, fiercely independent, fierce integrity.
She ran—she based her campaign saying she's not a politician. She's a prosecutor. This is cold. This is ruthless. This is a politician who is planning to run for years and wants the people of New Hampshire to believe she's something else.
MATTHEWS: Congressman, you're not the odd man out. You've been elected in New Hampshire. What is it about New Hampshire that's going to accept you this year? Which a very tough year for Democrats? Because you've got to run with a president who's popular personally, but his policies aren't and this economy is terrible. How do you—how do you tack against that wind storm against you?
HODES: Well, that's because where I've always stood. Chris, I've been an independent voice for New Hampshire when I was in Congress. I first ran talking about deficits. So, I've got a real brief to stand on in terms of fiscal responsibility and fiscal conservatism.
And I'm telling people that we've got to walk and chew gum, we've got to cut wasteful spending, but we also got to grow the economy on a firm foundation, and we simply can't go back to a U-turn in the policies that got us into so much trouble.
And that's all my opponent is selling. She wants to tell sell tax cuts for the rich that are going to hurt the deficit by $700 billion. She's fine with tax breaks for companies that shift jobs overseas. The folks in New Hampshire know that we need to make "made in America" mean something again and they're responding to a message of fiscal responsibility and rebuilding the middle class and bringing jobs back to New Hampshire.
MATTHEWS: It sounds like you wanted Bill Clinton out there because Clinton balanced the budget back when he was president. Is he going to come in and campaign for you?
HODES: Oh, I'd be happy to have President Clinton. Frankly, I'd be happy to have President Obama. He's still quite popular in New Hampshire. People understand that he stands for rebuilding the middle class.
MATTHEWS: OK. Let's take a look—let's take a look at Bill Clinton today. The former president in Kentucky.
Let's listen.
WILLIAM J. CLINTON, FMR. U.S. PRESIDENT: We dug this big old hole for eight years and we gave them 21 months to get us out. We're not out. Throw them out, put us back in, let us get our shovels and dig again. Be mad. They're playing you.
MATTHEWS: They're playing you.
Thank you very much, Congressman Paul Hodes for coming tonight from New Hampshire. Good luck in your race for the United States Senate.
Up next, remember this TV ad Republicans run against Joe Manchin in West Virginia? The one that was going to be, quote, "hicky and blue collar looking"? Well, Manchin's hitting back.
And when we return, we'll talk to one of the actors from that ad. He's going to give us the insight on what it's like to put together one of these political ads that obviously gotten to a lot of trouble.
This is HARDBALL, only on MSNBC.
MATTHEWS: Wow. New Jersey Governor Chris Christie says he's not ready to run for president in 2012, but he's starting to get the rock star treatment from activists in the party. He's campaigned for candidates in all the important states, Ohio, Iowa, for example. And this weekend, he beat out Sarah Palin in a presidential straw poll. The Virginia Tea Party Patriots gathered yesterday in Richmond, and Christie edged out Palin. That's down in Virginia. Christie killed what was to be the nation's largest public works projects citing rising cost and will likely to burnish his image among cost-cutting conservatives.
HARDBALL will be right back.
MATTHEWS: Welcome back to HARDBALL.
This is going to be a treat. An actor who lives in south Jersey now finds himself at the center of the West Virginia Senate race. Actor Damian Muziani has had extra roles on "Saturday Night Live," including this bit from the sketch "Nark Squad." He's done some hosting work in Philadelphia as well.
DAMIAN MUZIANI, ACTOR: Top of the morning to you. Welcome back to "Better Philly." I'm Damian O. Muziani.
MATTHEWS: Wow. Here's the role that put him in the national political conversation. Let's watch.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Obama's messing things up.
MUZIANI: Spending money we don't have, stimulus, Obamacare.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yes. And Joe Manchin supported it all.
MUZIANI: Joe's not bad as governor, but when he's with Obama—
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: He turns into Washington Joe.
MUZIANI: And Washington Joe does whatever Obama wants.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yes. Well, we better keep Joe Manchin right here in West Virginia.
MUZIANI: Away from Washington.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yes. It's the only way we're going to stop Obama.
NARRATOR: The National Republican Senatorial Committee is responsible for the content of this advertisement.
MATTHEWS: Damian Muziani, sir, it's a treat to have called up and say you're available.
Where did you shoot that commercial for the Rs, for the Republicans?
MUZIANI: As you probably already know, Chris. That was shot in south Philadelphia.
MATTHEWS: Ha! Do you know—do you have any idea why they cast this? Why they went to Philly to get the West Virginia feel? I mean, I'm just wondering if they want—you'd think they want to go out in the country somewhere a bit at least.
MUZIANI: I don't know if that much thought actually went into it, Chris, but when you hire an actor, you're hiring someone who can or cannot do dialects and can work with material that's given to them. So, you go where the work is and I guess the availability is there.
MATTHEWS: No, you guys, you know, I didn't—I have to tell you, I've been to a lot of dinettes in the morning. I know guys go in the morning to get away, read the paper, hang out with the boys. Not just retirees, but guys those age, your age.
MUZIANI: Yes.
MATTHEWS: And I didn't find that commercial to be negative. But any way, that could be anywhere along the Pennsylvania turnpike, it could be anywhere along the highway. The guys are wearing Cat hats, Caterpillar hats, fine. Your accent, was that—did you work on that to make yourself seem more Mountain State or what? Or did you just do your regular south Jersey accent or what?
MUZIANI: No, I mean, there was a little bit of a removal of a south Jersey accent.
MATTHEWS: Right.
MUZIANI: And again, you've looked at this documentation, so you know that they really weren't looking for accents, just plain-speaking plain folk.
MATTHEWS: And what about the costuming, was that ready when you got there? You are fit the uniform or how did that work?
MUZIANI: Generally, as an actor, when you're called to the set a lot of times, they'll ask you just to bring wardrobe choices. So, you will bring flannel shirts and hats and boots, and things of that nature. A lot of times, what ends up on the screen is not so much the material itself but a lot of times, how it blends with the other material. You've got lighting to worry about, the color saturation, the framing.
MATTHEWS: Yes.
MUZIANI: A lot of that goes into it. So, it doesn't help to look too much into it.
MATTHEWS: Does it bother you to be playing a political guy to be knocking Manchin, the governor of West Virginia. You probably never met the guy. I mean, you're knocking the guy saying he's an Obamaite, he's no good for the state and you're doing that attitude and all thing there.
What did you think of that? Did that—is that your thinking?
MUZIANI: Yes, well, it's no—for me, it's no fun to knock anybody, especially somebody I don't know, and we didn't even know—
MATTHEWS: Ha! Ha, ha.
MUZIANI: We didn't know who Joe Manchin was until the day of the shoot. It was all pretty much you know kept quiet.
MATTHEWS: Did you Google him—Googled the guy since to find out who Manchin is?
MUZIANI: Yes, I pretty much know who he is now especially since he's run his own commercial starring me.
MATTHEWS: Okay. Here it is, here it is. Here's Joe Manchin, he put out this ad to counter the one that you're in.
NARRATOR: John Raese thinks we're hicks.
NARRATOR: His people hired actors from Philadelphia to attack Joe Manchin, and told him to dress hicky.
MATTHEWS: Philadelphia, isn't that a great put down (ph)?
By the way, I'm from Philly, did you have to say water instead of water? Did they teach you how to talk outside of Philly or what?
MUZIANI: Well, yes, saying water or, yo check this out. You know, you can't really say when you're trying to be middle of the road.
MATTHEWS: You could have an attitude from Philly, could you?
MUZIANI: Attitude. Forgot about it.
MATTHEWS: Yes, beautiful. That's where I grew up. So, look we're talking about that.
This ad is really—what I thought about it was the hype. Do you think it was wrong to ridicule this ad from the other side? Or do you think—do you it knocked anybody? I don't think it did. My thoughts. Your thoughts?
MUZIANI: Well, yes, you know, if someone's offended by a word, whether it's the word hick—you know, you're a hicky or something like that, obviously, that's not—that's not right. I think where Joe Manchin might have went off the tracks was, he's blaming the actors for pretending that they are West Virginians.
So, if his solution, well, we should have hired West Virginia actors to do this sketch—commercial, sorry, it ended up being a sketch, would be to say, well, they're still going to read John Raese's script. They're still going to be ripping and humiliating you, Joe Manchin.
So, you'd rather people in your home state rip you than people from outside of the state. I don't think that that would have made him happy. I think the big problem is that really he's behind in the polls and it's desperation time. But I honestly, I like that. And that actually makes me kind of lean towards supporting the guy. I don't live in West Virginia, but I kind of hope he wins.
MATTHEWS: You hope Manchin wins?
MUZIANI: Sure, you're a Philly guy. You like a Rocky Balboa story, right? This is Rocky Balboa—
MATTHEWS: I want to get you some cues from you, because my son's an actor and he's doing what you're doing, trying to get these jobs and I got to tell you, I'm rooting for you every day of the week, sir, because it's tough.
MUZIANI: Don't follow my footsteps.
MATTHEWS: Have you seen "City Island" yet about the cop trying to make it as an actor?
MUZIANI: No.
MATTHEWS: That's a great movie, "City Island." Andy Garcia.
MUZIANI: I don't know if I've seen that, yes, yes, Garcia.
MATTHEWS: Damian Muziani is the kind of guy that I like. Anyway, thanks for coming on the show and being a good sport and endorsing Joe Manchin.
When we return,, let me finish with how America can put people back to work and stay competitive at same time.
You're watching HARDBALL, only on MSNBC.
MATTHEWS: Let me finish tonight with the only issue this really matters to voters this election, the one that drives all of the heat, the anger, the cussing, the news: jobs.
That Friday unemployment number stuck at 9.6 percent begins to look dangerously like the reset. Not higher normal but the new normal. If this is where we're going to be stuck as a country, bumping up against 10 percent of us regularly out of work—it's really almost double that number, if you add up the unemployed, part-time employed, temporarily employed, the fact is there's a nastily high amount of underused people in these United States that aren't working, haven't been, and won't be for the foreseeable future.
And the reality, which is hitting hard right now, is that big corporations make their profits by coming up with state-of-the-art ways to reduce the number of people they have on their payrolls, people they have to pay salary to, health care and retirement benefits. They look constantly to engineer their operations to get machines to do the work.
Productivity and automation are great for the corporate bottom line, not so great for the guy or woman who used to work at the plant but doesn't anymore, and their kids who grew up looking forward to work there.
So, if we're going to have full employment again, meaning a jobless rate down to around 4 percent or 5 percent again, we're going to need a new demand for labor, something that doesn't depend on getting ginned up by the consumer or the corporation.
Ironically, the new frontier of job creation in this country may be in that huge area right where we live, the roads and bridges we travel every day, the subways and train lines we use, the airports that handle all of today's traffic. It's here that the jobs of the coming years could come and making steel, building bridges, manufacturing road equipment—that's what President Obama pushed for today in a meeting with current and past transportation secretaries.
But it's not enough. Europe has fast trains, so does Asia, why are we stuck in the past? Why don't we fly from Washington to New York instead of taking rapid rail? Why aren't we riding across America at 300-plus miles an hour like they do in other continents? Why is America a flyover country between New York and L.A. when it should be what unites country by rail? Great question.
Today, the president began to answer it. But it's not enough, not nearly enough, if we're ever going to put America to work, putting this country where it belongs, on the rebound.
That's HARDBALL for now. Thanks for being with us.
Right now, it's time for "THE ED SHOW" with Ed Schultz.

Q: I know I need aeration in my pond, but I'm not sure what type of aerator is right for me? – Several Customers
A: We all know why ponds need some type of aeration system (If your not sure why ponds need aeration, read the article Aeration in the Summer Heat), but there are many types of aerators on the market from Bottom Bubblers to Fountains to Windmills. The type of aerator needed for a pond depends on a few factors.
Airmax Bottom Bubblers: An overwhelming majority of ponds fit into the category of Bottom Bubbler aeration. This system comes with a cabinet that sits on the shore. The cabinet houses an energy efficient air compressor. This compressor is then connected to a 4-stick diffuser plate(s) that sits on the bottom of the pond. This 4-stick diffusers creates medium sized bubbles that not only allow for adequate aeration, but also circulation. Many pond owners assume that since power is not located by the shore of their pond, that a Bottom Bubbler will not work. Just to clarify, a Bottom Bubbler can be placed up to 1,000 feet from the pond using direct burial airline. To select which sized Airmax Bottom Bubbler aeration system will work for you, click here to read about it in our online catalog.
Fountains: Fountains are a great aesthetic piece for any farm pond. Fountains rest on the surface of the pond, pull water from below and push it into the air to make a decorative spray pattern. Because of the way they are
designed, they will only pull water from about 6 feet down. When a pond is deeper than 6 feet it's best to go with both a Fountain as well as a Bottom Bubbler to have adequate aeration. When the pond has a
depth of 6 feet or less then a fountain will act as both an aerator as well as a decorative piece. Please note: Depending on your pond's size, you may need more than one Fountain to properly aerate.
Windmill: Windmills are primarily designed for decoration. If a pond is located where no power is available, then a windmill is really the only option to allow for some aeration. It is important to keep in mind that windmills only come with one stone and do not cover a large area. Also, they need constant wind
to have constant aeration. Windmills are available in 12′, 16′ and 20′ towers. Windmills do not provide continuous aeration and should not be used as a direct substitute for electrical powered continuous aeration systems.

|Noted rock musician and Trek fan Mick Fleetwood plays a small part in this episode, but you won't recognize him - he's one of the fish people.
Deanna tells Picard that her mother is going through "The Phase", a time when Betazoid women undergo a massive increase in their sexual drive. Picard decides it is a good opportunity to take some personal time and goes to hide out in his Dixon Hill holodeck program.
Lwaxana, unable to find Picard, searches for another target instead. She sets her eyes on Riker, announcing that they will be married. Riker is suitably shocked by this development, as is everybody else on the bridge.
As the Enterprise is nearing her destination, Pulaski wakes the Antedeans. They are ravenously hungry, and consume large quantities of food as they recover. Riker heads to the holodeck to hide from Lwaxana with Picard. Rex, the holographic bartender Picard has been chatting to, thinks Riker is a lucky guy to have a woman after him like that. When Lwaxana tracks the pair down and follows them into the holodeck she transfers her attentions to Rex. Picard waits until they reach the conference site to tell her that Rex isn't a real man.
As Lwaxana leaves her mind begins to clear. She casually mentions that the Antedeans are actually a pair of assassins who are planning to bomb the conference, and the two are quickly taken into custody.

shallow air flotation in dyeing and printing Wastewater Treatment
Brand : gongyuan
Product origin : wuxi,china
Delivery time : within 30days after confirmation
Supply capacity : 500sets/year
Superficial air flotation (SAF) is a water treatment process that clarifies wastewaters (or other waters) by the removal of suspended matter such as grease or solids. The removal is achieved by dissolving air in the water or wastewater under pressure and then releasing the air at atmospheric pressure in a flotation tank basin. The released air forms tiny bubbles which adhere to the suspended matter causing the suspended matter to float to the surface of the water where it may then be removed by a skimming device.
Our Gongyuan GQF Type Superficial SAF is an advanced quick-speed flotation system integrated with flocculation, flotation, skimming and mud scrapping. Based on the traditional flotation theory, we also use the вҖңshallow theoryвҖқ and вҖңprinciple of zero speedвҖқ successfully. Thus our superficial air flotation is widely applied in waterworks removing alga, varec and other turbid water from nature lake and river; Industrial sewage treatment projects such as petro-chemical, textile, printing and dyeing, electroplating, tanning, food industry and other fields; Recycling useful material in sewage like fiber recovery on paper& pulp industry

Yes, another captaincy thread.
Well, now, I'm having massive second thoughts about captaining my school side. I don't know whether to do it or just be a player. I don't really know much about setting fields, but the rest I know what's going on.
So, should I captain, and how can I set fields successfully?

I had an odd experience while reading The Entertainer, Margaret Talbot's wry, wonderful new book about her irrepressible actor father, Lyle, and American entertainment over the course of the 20th century. Every time I opened it, an accompanying soundtrack began to play in my head.
At first, it wasn't much more than the howl of winds moving over turn-of-the-last-century Nebraska, but that soon gave way to carnival noises—fairway barkers, snippets of music coming from the depths of tents. Then it was the steady rhythm of trains carrying itinerant theater troupes through the dark Midwestern night. Later, whenever I picked it up, I kept overhearing the sounds of 1940s Hollywood royalty clinking glasses at cocktail parties, or the thwack of tennis balls on the courts at Hearst Castle as they let the old man win. I caught the fox trot beat from the Trocadero and the Cocoanut Grove. As I neared the end of the book, I strained to hear the noises of four children, first splashing in the pool, later arguing about the war in Vietnam, all the while listening to their finally settled father telling them stories of his long ago youth.
These, of course, are the sounds of a still-young America coming into its own. In The Entertainer they are also the sounds of Lyle Talbot coming into his own. His career as a performer, while it never quite reached stratospheric heights, dovetailed perfectly with every major shift in American entertainment before landing gently in a very happy family life that began long after he had given up hope it ever would. It's a convergence that allows his daughter to thread his story—"the brightest fiber"—through a larger social and cultural history of the world in which he came of age, where it casts a lovely, personal glow over everything around it.
That Talbot is a writer gifted enough to evoke not just images but their attendant music through her words will come as no surprise to anyone who's read her in The New Yorker or elsewhere. One of the things The Entertainer makes abundantly clear, though, is that she comes by her aesthetic sense naturally. Lyle, she writes, was "a seeker after beauty, wherever it might be found," starting from his earliest days in small-town Nebraska. She is, too. From her childhood memories, her father's scrapbooks, his stories, and her own research and interviews, Talbot has woven a tale as romantic and vivid as any film could hope to be, while still seeing every bit of it plain. She is as clear-eyed about her father as she is about history—no easy feat.
Open on Pittsburgh, 1902, where Lyle was born to a mother who died of typhoid when he was just a few months old. His maternal grandmother, a widow, took him away from his father and back to Nebraska, where she raised him in her boarding house. (With no room of his own as a child, he bed-hopped among the Bohemian girls his grandmother employed, which, according to Talbot, left him with a few sentences of Czech and a lifelong love of women.) To seal the deal, she changed his name to her married name, Talbot. Her maiden name, which Warner Bros. would seize on with glee decades later when Lyle was one of their contract players, was Hollywood. Talk about fate.
In the intervening years between life at the Talbot Hotel and life on set, there were carnival acts (the names of which rise up from the page like emissaries from a dusty, lively forgotten world: MacKnight, the Hypnotic Funmaker; Mock Sad Alli; Tootsie Galvin), followed by roles of all sorts with touring theater groups. These companies would soon "be overwhelmed, first by radio and movies, then by television," Talbot writes, "but from the 1880s til the late 1920s, touring companies were what brought America its most reliable entertainment … its sense of make-believe."
Luckily—and luck was a big part of Lyle Talbot's life—just as repertory theater was dying out, Lyle was summoned by telegram to what was fast becoming the bright new epicenter of make-believe. A Hollywood agent trolling for film stars to fill out Tinseltown's burgeoning ranks had seen him on the stage, noted, as one critic had it, that his "good looks are not wasted on the feminine portion of the audience," and asked for a screen test. Too broke to pay his train fare to California, Lyle borrowed it from the agent and set out for the coast.
At Warner Bros., which signed him after that screen test, he suddenly found himself in boldface company. He was cast in pictures with Carole Lombard, with whom he also had one of many (many!) affairs; Bette Davis; Humphrey Bogart; Barbara Stanwyck (in Talbot's marvelous words, a woman "who seemed to be built for quick escapes and tight corners"); James Cagney; Mae West; and countless other stars of the 1930s. They were all, it seems, utterly charmed by him, and he by them. As he recalled many years later about "Miss West": "She'd say, in that voice, 'Where are you gonna have lunch? I think I'll have a hamburger,' and she'd sound, you know, like Mae West."
He made nine movies in 1932 and another 12 in 1933, and often spent his days bicycling between lots with scripts for all the films he was in simultaneously in both the front and back baskets of his bike. In an interview, he described the circumstances of contract actors like himself: "We would work 14-, 15-hour days and then be called back the next morning. Saturday night they liked to work till midnight because you had Sunday off. The Catholic actors, Pat O'Brien and Bill Gargan and Spencer Tracy, would joke that they'd barely get home in time to make it to mass." The pace was unsustainable. And so, in 1933, Lyle joined together with 20 of his fellow actors, a not-yet-famous Boris Karloff among them, to found the Screen Actors Guild. Though it wouldn't be formally recognized for a few more years, by 1936 the actors' union had more than 5,000 members and had changed life in Hollywood forever.
Meanwhile, Hollywood itself was busy transforming life in America. Though the Production Code, which went into effect in 1934, placed certain limits on what films could depict, it could do nothing to contain their influence. As going to the movies became less expensive (popcorn, considered too trashy for many years, made it to the movies around the same time Lyle did), and theaters transitioned from "palaces" to simpler affairs where all the seats were the same price, audiences across the country began to take their cues about how to look, behave, and even feel from the silver screen. "When Clark Gable took his shirt off in It Happened One Night and revealed—yowza—no undershirt," Talbot notes, in one of the many meticulously researched then seamlessly deployed details that makes The Entertainer such a pleasure, "it caused a national sensation and a serious dip in undershirt sales." Even divorce lost some of its stigma as fans followed the affairs and breakups of their favorite stars in gossip columns and newsletters published by fan clubs. (Joan Crawford was the honorary vice president of Lyle's.)
"Lyle Talbot sat on the ringside with a new blonde," one wag wrote in the late '30s, "but I would say from the number of times he was called to the telephone that quite a few of the old blondes were trying to get in touch with him." All of these tidbits, of course, were an indicator of something far greater than just the state of their subjects' love lives. They were early evidence that the cult of personality, which now pervades not just entertainment but politics, business, and pretty much every other aspect of American life, was already in full force. Being a successful star was no longer a matter of simply acting. It was now a far more complex proposition that had as much, if not more, to do with what you wore and said and did off-screen as what you did on it. Actors were accountable not just to their studios but to their fans, who were no longer satisfied with the packaged bios and romances put out by publicity agents.
In other words, the American public was learning nothing less than how to be "modern media consumers—to be charmed by movie stars but not overwhelmed by them, to live in the world of celebrity without either turning their back on it or becoming unstrung by the fact that they themselves were not celebrities." Now, of course, we live in a time when the idea of someone accepting their own failure to be a celebrity seems quaint—the Bravo channel alone is testament to that—but Talbot's excursion into the ways the world of movies has affected the American psyche sheds considerable light on the origins of the fame-hungry culture we live in today. In addition, it animates the final years of Lyle's story, which might otherwise read like the rather worn plot of a Hollywood movie in which the handsome young actor never quite lives up to his early promise, nearly drinks himself to ruin, and is saved at the eleventh hour by the love of a good woman.
The other thing that saves this story is the sheer affection with which it's told. Talbot is wise enough not to linger too long on the details of her family: the early death of her beloved mother, who was 26 years younger than her father and the only one who saw in him "the essential sweetness beneath the suavity, the hard drinking, and the playboy rep"; the stories of her brothers' and sister's lives and her own childhood. But she offers a clutch of evocative sketches that give a marvelous sense of a world that feels as long gone to us as her father's childhood did to her—California in the 1950s and '60s, before the glamour of Hollywood had tarnished and real small-town life was still possible close enough to commute to work on set.
Along the way (just after a pit stop at Ed Wood's studios, where Lyle was briefly employed), we learn that the Talbot children grew up sheltered from the culture of Hollywood, albeit in Studio City, where their parents bought a modest house with the money from the sale of the Talbot Hotel back in Nebraska and then kept running with the salaries Lyle earned after his transition to television via movie serials (Superman and Batman and Robin among them). Even as a child, Talbot knew her peaceful life was touched by the delicious fantasy that is the stock-in-trade of any actor. She describes being trained very early on to answer the phone properly in case her father's agent was calling. "Our job was to be ready, and to be ready was to be hopeful—no matter how long the hiatus between jobs, even if the part was small, for a small part could be a cameo, and a cameo could be classy."
Lyle Talbot is best known to many through his role on Ozzie and Harriet. "We got to live our suburban idyll," his daughter writes, "in large part because my father was enacting another one on TV." He performed in more than 300 movies and TV shows before his death in 1996. But he never had even a starring role as dazzling as the one his youngest child, with history as her guide, has now written for him.

NC Tables - How do I read them and what kind of orientation do they offer?
RWTH and hochschulstart publish the NC values of previous years on their websites. Experience has shown that these NC tables lead to many misunderstandings. Thus, we offer a small aid to help you interpret them. The NC values are always based on the last allocation process and can only be published once the process has ended. It is nothing more than the values of the applicants, who could be admitted in the previous year's allocation process. In no way do the universities determine the NC values in advance nor can applicants calculate their chances. NC values are simply a rough orientation for the next semester.
In the NC tables there is often a waiting time value behind the grand or an average grade behind the waiting time value. You can also find information about service and the lottery process. These are lower-ranked criteria that are added when the ranking list needs to further rank candidates who otherwise have the same ranking. Here you can find an example, how such NC values are correctly read.
Many prospective students try to estimate their chances using the NC tables from the previous year, however:
- The number of study placements the University has available is not always the same. It can be more or less.
- The number of applicants can greatly vary. There are consistently trends.
- If students fill placements originally not accepted by other students, the NC values may further sink after they have been published.
SelfAssessment Tests at RWTH Aachen – What do I need to know?
WIth the SelfAssessments RWTH Aachen offers prospective students an important orientation aid for making a well founded decision about what to study. Participation in the subject-specific SelfAssessments must be proved at the time of enrollment; however the results does not in any way affect enrollment. Its sole purpose is to help you choose a course of study.
Whom do I contact when I have questions about the pre-internship?
In some Bachelor's courses of study at RWTH Aachen a pre-intership is a prerequisite to enrollment.
All questions about the pre-internship are answered directly and exclusively by the corresponding departmental advisors in the faculties and the mechanical engineering and civil engineering internship offices.

Do I go to the Student Advice Centre or Departmental Advising? What's the difference?

Departmental advisors, however, offer advising specifically for a certain subject and answer your more detailed questions. Their task is to advise students on curriculum content, their personal academic schedules, and questions regarding exam formalities.
