3. They let him off easy. What's the bullshit about POTUS ratings
and what does that have to do with the speech or anything.?

5. He was caught in hypocrisy....but he didn't crumble
That is a republican trait: be outraged by Democrats doing the EXACT same things you and your leadership have done. Blankley is no different.

7. What I'd like to see
is the woman who asked him that question - a very nice move, obviously prepared - to follow up on it, telling him that his answer was nothing but horseshit babble, and that she wanted him to tell her exactly how Bush I differed from Obama in that respect?

I'm fucking tired of these fuckers getting away with their fucking accusations and bullshit without anyone calling them on it.

And I'm REALLY fucking sick and tired of the White House fucking backing down anytime something they propose is threatened. They look like a bunch of fucking wussy weenies who run and hide and try to make nice any time anything they say or do is questioned.

I am just so fucking sick of all this. It's such bullshit, and it's walking.................

9. Strangely, that's where Tweety (occasionally) excels.
Tweety will sometimes ask the same question several times, until he gets an answer, or establishes that his guest won't answer it. I mostly skip his show, but he is capable of dogging a witness.

12. That's true -
but, lately, I have trouble watching Tweety. When he fellates Tom Delay, it's more than I can bear.

But, you're right - he does a fine job of it.

Remember this classic?

17. Yeah, Tweety roasted that guy.
I like what he did to the congressman birther too. He doesn't do that to Blankley, much less Delay. I guess he considers them sources.

10. Blankley isn't even a columnist anymore - he has a P.R. firm
and his little diatribe there was out of Edward Barnay's PR 101-proposing his point as the decided conclusion, nothing attracts a crowd like a crowd

22. Yes, He's unlistenable now
There's nothing to be gotten from Tony anymore that we cant get from Sarah Palin. I can't wait for "Left Right and Center" do dump him so I can listen again.

11. He stammered, and did he blush? I printed out a copy of the address and hand-carried it to my MIL
tonight so she and her elderly friends who breakfast together in the mornings can read the speech. Wouldn't I love to be a fly on the wall when they read it!

13. Hey Tony! It's not "the public" that's nervous about Obama.
It's a very few, loud & stupid people being told lies by sick bastards like TONY BLANKLEY.

15. Once upon a thyme, many seasonings ago, Tony received a
letter from mois. it included the transcript of his bloviation on PBS' version of political talk, and what he actually writ wrote and wrought for the Washington Times. Two completely things, on the identical issue.

He took great offense, first that he was caught, and second, that I bothered to put it all down on paper. His first response was mostly, "HOW DARE YOU QUESTION ME? I AM ON TEEVEE!"

We exchanged several e-mails after that, and frankly, I soon realized that I was wasting my time, and unnecessarily harming the electrons contained my computer by trying to converse with that POS.

19. Read the Entire Question!
The question in the lesson plan was: How can you Help President Obama reach his goal of increasing the number of College Graduates by 2020!?

That's what Secretary of Education Arne Duncan Revealed on Face the Nation Yesterday.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzmnbORZuHc#t=4m

It wasn't "How can you Help Obama Turn the Country SOCIALIST?" - it wasn't "How can you help Obama Kill Grandma!"

Doesn't anybody read the fine print anymore?

20. CNN pulls a "Daily Show" style video flashback...
...impressive, but not enough. CNN will be back to being stooges to the right wing talking points in a day or so.
