I think one of the unappreciated problems facing our county is that both George Stephanopoulus and Tim Russert are All-Pro wankers.

I”m not at all sure that’s considered a problem. In fact I think there are a great many people who take a certain amount of pride in the fact that we have such stellar examples of political wankery to draw from.
You can’t lump Bob Schieffer of Face the Nation in with these guys though. He’s a class act.
I didn’t think I did.
No, you didn’t. Perhaps that could have been worded better…
I hope we don’t lump Bob Schieffer of Face the Nation in with these guys though. He’s a class act.
No one gets a free ride this time. Every one of these scorporate stooges deserves to be taken out to the woodshed.
They are wankers for sure but are they well paid. I guess service for the oligarchs of America has its compensations.
Ignod, you’re sounding like me. Or I’m sounding like you.
All I want to know is where the all-star wanker game is being played and who’s on the west squad.
Hey, Bob, if you are sounding like me, you are in heap big trouble. Most assuredly, you are a marked man and the Magisterium is watching you, very carefully.
The Republican axis of evil is Nixon, Reagan, and Bush-Bush. (Like my epigrams?)
I wonder what’s in my FBI file.
I know what’s in mine, I’ve had one since I was 18. I remember getting my first picture taken by a man who had that grey-haired Cheney look, back in 1979 at my first protest march; against the carter-inspired draft movement during the Iranian Hostage Crisis.
I’ll bet I’ve got you beat. I’ve never checked it out because it’s too good a story to ruin through verification, but when I was a kid radio was my passion. I’d listen to shortwave radio for hours on end, and I’d write to the stations I’d listen to from all over the world to send them reception reports. In return they’d send me verification cards (QSL cards — sort of like baseball cards for radio nerds, I guess, except postcard size) and sometimes other stuff iike newsletters, Christmas cards, pennants, stickers and the like.
A great many of these reception reports went to Soviet bloc countries. I specifically remember getting cards from the USSR, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Romania and Bulgaria.
So I have little doubt that the Commie propaganda that showed up in my mailbox (most of which was variations on peace and goodwill messages) got me my own personal folder in Washington, DC at the age of ten.
there is one subject that snuffalopogus and the fat man won’t be allowed to touch. Mcshames’ very clear statement that we went to war in Iraq for their OIL! He said it and you can bet your asses that not only these two pieces of garbage but the rest of the stooges won’t be allowed to go there.
When I worked at the VA Hospital years ago I did admissions part of the time. Working with some of the brain syndrome patients trying to get information from them, you’d get gobbledegook and mixed up confusion and then a moment of reality. That’s sort of what McCain’s campaign is.
But the two clowns doing the interviewing here want the gobbledegook and not the reality.
Bob, this is funny and penetrating at the same time. I don’t think I have seen a more apt description of McCain. Perhaps, the Bush people were correct in 2000 when they said Mr. McC had suffered brain damage as a result of his stay at the Hanoi Hilton.
And, your assessment of those gobblers (“Golden Compass) of gobbledegook is spot on. Were we related in a past life, say like brothers?

The problem is there are no more “real journalist” willing to ask the tough questions. Its all “info-entertainment”…I doubt George has the balls to ask Hillary, where she got her 5 million dollar loan.
Hillary will probably whisper, George member when you and bill went to that bar and u woke up with _____.
And there goes any sense George has a spine, or maybe he’s afraid of Carville calling him Judas Monday morning.
He is a traitor, his involvement in the Libby case proves that.
