Bash: Crowley 'represents the soul of CNN'
CNN ^ | Dec. 21, 2014 | Dana Bash

Posted on 12/21/2014 7:33:29 AM PST by PROCON

Washington (CNN) -- It was July 29, 1998, the day after two Capitol Police officers were shot and killed on duty.

I was a green producer at the time, sent to the home of Jacob Chestnut just to get some footage. I called Candy, and she asked me to describe the house.

When I was about to hang up, I mentioned to Candy that there was a dented golf ball in the front yard. It was an aside that I didn't think much of, but she asked me to make sure we got video of the golf ball.

Later, when I saw the script, it was abundantly clear why, and how, Candy Crowley is the best writer in television news. Here was the lead:

Candy's decision to leave CNN after 27 years will leave a void with her colleagues that goes well beyond her journalistic talents.

Better yet, CNN's raings might creep up a tenth.

Buh-bye Candy...

The soul of CNN is a triple bacon cheese fat burger?

Crowley has been one of the most openly strident Obama-lovers since 2007 ... as you say, CNN might see a bounce in their ratings once her fat ass is out the door.

His tribute is very poorly written, hard to assimilate his point, wandering all over the place, as if he’s trying to come up with enough words to fill up a column. I don’t think his heart’s in the game. I’d be ashamed to have written it. And I don’t even like Candy.

What’s the point of that comment; I had a boss who was very heavy, but she ate very little; maybe a hamburger once a month.

For some people, that kind of weight is genetic and/or because of other medical issue.

Instead, I would comment about how she LIED during the debate .. to support Obama. That’s why I wouldn’t trust her.

Yes, I agree that Crowley ‘represents the soul of CNN’. An evil, dark, seared soul; pushing the socialist agenda.

Well, she claims to be a vegetarian. Something seems wrong. Perhaps she should see an endocrinologist.

I believe that the point is that Candy is a social misfit. To be able to fit in and be accepted by the other journalists in her celestial orbit, she had to throw any and all journalistic ethics out the window and become a slobbering knob snobbler for Obama. This was the only way that she could ensure that she would be loved by the ones that matter in our society...so yeah, her girth helped to determine her worth...

Post 4 was a complete lunatic .. you at least sounded like a normal person. I was sure you would realize that she did something far worse (lying), instead of just being fat.

"Then why the hell did Romney agree to have her moderate that debate?"

The same reason that George Stephanolopoulos and Rachel Maddow will moderate the 2016 debates: Willful neglect by the Republican Establishment.

I’m not about to embark on an exchange of the niceties and propriety of a failed tactic in dealing with liberals. We have Bush who WOULD NOT answer his critics (that gave us Obama, BTW), we have McCain, we have Romney. All appeasing ‘polite’ politicians with no spine for standing up for right and what matters.

You can only win when it involves something that they can understand. I don’t want to be polite and reasonable now. I’ll try every dirty trick in the book to defeat them. If laughing at that pig helps, I’m all for it.
