Transcript:
Roland: Shep, I'm now talking to Mimi Van Ork, P.R. director for the George W. Bush Institute... a faith-based belief tank, where every day a hot slurry of gut feelings is carefully processed... then poured into cooling trays and set out to harden into rigid ideology Only then is it cut into bricks and shipped to... Mimi: Do I get to talk, too?

I cannot abide strident commentators,in print or on air ! I also detest hosts who are so enamored of their own voice or so rapt in opinion, that they wont allow their guest to speak.. Chris Matthews is one of those !Where has the art of listening gone ?

I really like the Maple Nut slurry/ideology….Although most of it looks like chocolate, and/or “Straw Fudge” from Mackinac Island….

But Mathews made for such good SNL parodies. He’s such a joke!

Sorry, ma’am, you’re on Fox. Here, unless you can prove with two pieces of ID that you are absolutely for us and love O’Reilly exclusively, we have no use for you…

“A hot slurry of gut feelings…to harden into rigid ideology”?
That’s ironic, because it’s the best description of the Left I’ve ever seen.

On behalf of the United Kingdom, I can only apologise (except for his views on guns, where he has had an unaccountable attack of common sense), but I’m afraid that having got rid of him we’re not taking him back. If he arrives at Heathrow, the lights will be out and no-one will be answering the door.

Candy Crowley is superb (despite having a strippers name!).

You just don’t like the use of the word “kid” for kiddies? Chilluns? Younguns? Youths?.please try to be more liberal with acceptance of diversity in vernacular.

aah, the joys of W’s inbred idiocy and the Right’s corpulant redundancy exude from the Pet Goat Museum. now maybe some thick coating of molasses to seal in the aroma of fetid hatred and intolerance.
and taxpayer have to pay for this. Freedom isn’t free, as they say. too bad we can’t sell it. Making a profit is the American Way!
The Plantation is alive and doing well, thank you very much.

No, you don’t get to talk! Didn’t you hear him say “I’m talking to…”?

Bob Edwards (formerly of NPR) now with SirisXM is a master in encouraging his guest to talk. Long live Bob Edwards, master interviewer.

Quick! Name the last time that NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN or MSNBC disagreed on or had a radically different point-of-view on any news story.They all report the same news in the same way, day after day after day after day. I don’t always agree with FOX news, but you can’t say it’s not different.

“A hot slurry of gut feelings…to harden into rigid ideology”?
That’s ironic, because it’s the best description of the right I’ve ever seen.

That’s true, FOX is different – the others report the news, FOX reports the right-wing slant on the news. And don’t tell me “their news is unbiased” – even Jon Stewart dissects that falsehood periodically..As for other viewpoints, MSNBC has three hours of Morning Joe Scarborough (R-FL) every day. And FOX has…?

I’m sorry, I don’t see the slightest bit of criticism in his remarks. I’m sure he thinks that’s the proper way to formulate positions, and once they are created, they must be hardened to avoid the slightest correction. At least, that’s what I see the right doing daily.

I added Doonesbury to my comic list to remind me that there are still lots of idiots with a pen.
kaffekup over 11 years ago
And a keyboard, sidneypop…..Ridiculous comment, Cal, no better than i ever expect of you.

Ah, I see we have a new State of the Union gathering place. I wonder how long it will take for the moderators to shut this one down too? Although, I must admit, the comments so far, aren’t quite as mean and hateful, not yet anyway.

sandflea, I didn’t say he doesn’t have guts; I said he doesn’t think with his gut. I have no doubt the raid on bin Laden was carefully thought out before it was green lighted. And took a lot of guts to approve.
David Bethke Premium Member over 11 years ago
Dean Richards at WGN radio and TV, does this a lot in his interviews. Runs over the interviewee, I mean.

Shipped to Fox ‘news’, GOP, NRA, and possibly even KKK. The pillars of the right.

Self-aggrandizement was Hedley’s staple from the very beginning. So was his aggrandizement of the trivial – Twitter was such a perfect fit.
Carol69 over 11 years ago
You don’t think it took serious guts to raid the BinLaden compound?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Yepers, real guts to send a bunch of kids into a Sh*t hole thousands of miles from your secure underground bunker inside the belt-way. And the best part is you could be blame Bush if the whole plan went south. That’s called win-win.
kaffekup over 11 years ago
First, if it had failed, you’d have been all over him. As it was, the wingnuts gave Bush credit for it;.Second, Bush didn’t have the smarts/guts to do anything except send his toy soldiers (as he saw them) to war.

I don’t have a clue what you’re talking about. but I don’t feel bad, since that makes both of us.Don’t you love the race card, though? It’s all you have.

The Gosnell trial isn’t comic strip material. The fast and furious debacle started under Bush, so I don’t know why you would want it discussed, considering your agenda. It takes two to tango in presenting a budget and Obama doesn’t have a willing partner. There is no increasing cancer rate to due to abortion. So, I guess you will be waiting for a long time for GT to deal with it in his strip. Why don’t you try some other strip? GT is too rational for such dribble.

@ghostkepper:Battle of Lexington and Concord, “the shot heard around the world” and opening conflict of the Revolution was to stop the British from raiding an armory.

In this country, firearms have always been used for personal protection. In the old west. a posse was put together by gathering a “militia” of locals to route out a problem. Personal protection was used against bandits, escaped slaves, and outraged indigenous people. Many groups banded together and when the men went out hunting and trapping, they made sure to leave their loved ones with a firearm and ammo all ready.
Guns are needed in the citizen’s hands even more now than in Jefferson’s time and for the same reasons he espouses.

FOX is fair and balanced. Their conservative lying crap is balanced by their lies against liberals and anyone else they don’t like.

I have read your posts and respect your effort, but you and I both know, it’s like shoveling sand into the ocean.
