By sitting back and letting this pair of idiots open their mouths?

Interesting take, because I was watching Fox news Sunday and was reminded of what a clown Deboruh Wassuhmun Shooooltz is ...

Oh well. I suppose the Del Boca Vista (with props to Seinfeld) transplants from Long Guy Land have to have one of their own speak up. They love her down in Condo Canyon.

So, yes, annoying is a good descriptive, but perhaps not in the way you meant.

I don't think I've ever been able to sit through Fox News. I was on the happier side when Fox was not reaching agreements with DirecTV last year and we lost all Fox affiliates for a while. I figured our area would all get more accurate and unbiased news coverage for the short while until things were worked out.

Wow. This is a hot mess (just my opinion - maybe).

Here are some of the only things I agree with.... (I'm sure I missed some lines in there somewhere as I was skimming through)

• Voted NO on reporting illegal aliens who receive hospital treatment. (May 2004)
• Voted YES on establishing nationwide AMBER alert system for missing kids. (Apr 2003)

Paul Ryan is a huge farce. He claims to be a deficit hawk, and then put forth a budget that cut all kinds of social programs while ADDING 15 TRILLION to the national debt. He's a phony and a hypocrite.

Writer Charles Pierce of Esquire sums him up pretty well: a "zombie-eyed granny-starver."

LOL. I cannot be the only GCer who just watched the argument between Soledad O'Brien and John Sununu(sp) on CNN Starting Point. He was mad as hell. LOL. It was more than a hearty debate. Soledad O'Briend handled it quite well. Sununu's tone was horrible. LOL.

(This is the only active Mitt Romney-ish thread.)

That seals it, will be voting for Gary Johnson

"Soledad And Sununu" sounds like one of those sitcoms with a wacky mismatched pair of roommates. "Romney and Ryan" sounds like the law firm that will get me beaucoup bucks if my transvaginal mesh is f'ed up.

It does. LOL.

Google "Soledad and Sununu August 14" and you will see links and articles on this morning's show.

Looks like their first week went well.

I can tell some of you see it differently. That's fine.

Well, there was virtually no bounce, which isn't a particularly good sign, but it's clear that both sides are pretty much thrilled with the pick, so time will tell who is right.

AnchorAlum 08-18-2012 09:31 PM

I think that depends on which polls you're following.

I'm not sure it's clear that the Democrats are thrilled after all with the pick.

Whatever.

Benzgirl 08-18-2012 09:37 PM

I think his voting record is as close as it comes to Michelle Bachman. <<<shudders>>>
