He was a constant critic of the President, had a long line of republicans on his Sunday show. Why is HE shocked now, he got what he worked for, a republican lineup of misfit losers. There is not a single one of them qualified to fill President Obama's shoes. Knowing full well that McConnell held a meeting during the first Inauguration, vowing to block anything the President tried to pass, ol' Bob said "I have never seen anything like it" about the gridlock in DC. I am older than him, and not "in the loop" but even I knew why this was taking place.

The audacity of the pretense that they are shocked, that they have never seen the like...........Totally corrupt.

Spare us the faux shock and surprise.

They are utterly complicit with the Republican agenda, and always have been.

Not only are we subjected to the Repug draconian policies (w/a lot of help from the Democratic Party), we get them legitimated by Schieffer and his ilk.

What sheer, unmitigated garbage.

all they ever wanted. And if a Trump/Christie ticket, a republicans' wet dream! Maybe they are just jealous. Two bullies leading the herd, it's a paradise for republicans.

that Bob was CIA. Part of "Operation Mocking Bird" to infiltrate the News media...or, something like that. If the PTB are getting upset, it will be interesting to see how this all goes.

He had McCain on so often, I think he must have had his own chair! I e-mailed him several times, sking him to ask little Johnny if he regretted choosing $arah PayMe as his VP? No response, of course. He NEVER gave the President any [raose for anything he managed to do, in spite of the opposition. I finally had to quit watching, he is so prejudiced. so gop.
