I’m inclined to agree with your timeline.

I wish I could remember who it was that had the other viewpoint??? Was it Krauthammer? Just not sure.

But this all seems planned and went off one-two-three.

Huckabee?

I would like to credit my short-term memory loss to a bad day at the ballpark yesterday. It was COLD and I froze and the Rangers lost and I feel like I caught cold. Duh.

You’re supposed to be hot at Ranger games.

Anyway, I quite often can’t remember things from one day to the next.

Well, I may be dumber than Biden but that’s a pretty high standard to meet.

I didn’t say I believed that Biden misspoke... just that he was perfectly capable of it.

I heard some fairly respectable pundit advance that theory yesterday and I was just tossing it out there for discussion.

I would love Brit Hume but I don’t think he would do it.

He’s older than he looks and just sounds tired. And sad.

How about the President evolve on the Keystone pipeline like 75% of Americans and all of Canadians have? Rather than evolving into the 21st century he is stuck in the 18th century with trains and windmills that waste Billion$ and are absolutely inefficient. America is beginning to evolve away from this backward thinking that you can power the country on Pixie Dust and beginning to understand that oil and coal are the most efficient and abundant fuel resources ever found and need to be developed to provide a platform for the economy to grow. Perhaps he can evolve his mind into realizing rather than the 2% of world oil reserves he claims we have and start to realize we have more than his bow down friends in the Middle East.

One of the finest paragraphs that you've written to date.

Notice how she managed to pin the "FAR right" tag on Mourdock,

Nope, I missed that.

In that case, I'm changing my vote to Liz.

I agree. You have provided an excellent timeline and I also would point out that Biden’s interview was pre-recorded, not live. If Biden misspoke, there was ample opportunity to have him walk it back.

The whole thing was a set up, as you said.

The question is what will their next little kabuki dance be? I am of the mind that we need to start pointing out how they refuse to talk about the stuff most Americans are worried about. The media either needs to quit working in tandem with the administration or at least add a disclaimer.

I said at the time that Stephanopolous was hired on ABC that This Week would never be anything but an arm of the DNC. I was correct.

Old Media is trying to pump the issue but the polls are showing just the opposite, he is falling since he promoted homosexual marriage.

They have lied for so long that they now believe their own propaganda.

Well since you brought up the subject...first let's establish that me mind is still rapier sharp and wittier than wit itself. But sometimes I forget stuff that I've known all my life. Like I couldn't remember Romney's name, finally had to ask husband...."Who's the guy running against Obamer?" I ask. Husband looks up puzzled, "You mean Romney?" he asks but in doing so gives me the answer.

Doesn't happen all that often but it's very jarring when it happens. Probably something to do with age but go on, not only am I still rapier sharp in my mental skills, I'm not all that old.

But why I keep forgetting this stuff I've known all my life?

Silently read my comment about forgetting stuff.

Though my mental faculties are still rapier sharp once I totally forgot my dog’s name. Had to call husband on cell phone, just ain’t understanding this.

Biden’s interview was pre-recorded

Yer kidding?

I did not know this!

So I have to put hands on my hips and ask....why aren't the Republicans out pointing this out? For goodness sake at least why didn't Reince Prebus bring it up during his eight minutes on MTP this morning.

You mean Reince couldn't have just leaned in, resting elbow on the desk top. "Gregory (see, I forget his first name as I type), I want to point out to all the MTP viewers that your interview with Biden was pre-recorded last week. I'm sure someone at the WH, on the admin PR team, knew before that segment had Biden declaring adoration for loving couples marrying who they love. Just want the MTP viewers to know that when they hear this admin declaring Biden did a gaffe".

Why couldn't the head of the RNC point that out?

The Democrats make mincemeat of these Republicans.

Right on, Fishtalk.

I almost barfed with Andrew Sullivan blubbering about how wonderful Obama's decision made him feel about himself and his "partner."

Of course, I remembered Sullivan's repeated accusations that Trig was really the result of an incestuous affair with Todd and his daughter Bristol. He published several articles making that accusation and started a very painful (for the Palins) topic in the media.

Did Matthews ever come to the Palin's defense in this horrid matter?

It's unChristian, I guess, but may Sullivan and Chris Matthews rot in hell for eternity.

Excellent catch. Glen Beck had a 15 minute segment on GB TV no too long ago that totally exposed obama as fraudulently creating his entire life.

Its all a lie from start to finish.Really good stuff.

Saturday I took my son on a tour of The Studios at Las Colinas. I did that tour about 15 years ago and it was fun. They had all sorts of memorabilia from TV and movies.

The tour Saturday was totally lame. They sold all the memorabilia and there’s nothing there.

Nothing But Glenn Beck. That’s where he does his show but I didn’t see him.

And, of course, I’ve never seen his show. Who has GlennBeck TV? I guess someone does.

For just a few minutes I'd like to believe that somebody at the Washington Post, surely SOMEBODY, felt a tad small that this newspaper of Woodward and Bernstein, the newspaper that brought down a President, last week ran a story about a 60 year old man's adolescent exploit of allegedly cutting some kid's hair....

I gotta believe that somebody at the Washington Post, even if the janitor, felt ashamed that a once so august newspaper engaged in such a silly, such an obvious....media dance at the command of an administration who sneers all over them.

For just a few minutes I want to believe that humiliation does have some level, surely SOME level, where it becomes too much.

After those few minutes when I'm going to believe that there's still some pride somwhere....then they will passed over into willing lapdogs.

Just wanting to be nice here.

Oh the WaPo Ombudsman already proclaimed this story as “deeply researched” or some such. The problem is it is “false” and 50 years ago, while Bambi’s own voice talks about how he bullied a fat black girl, smoked crack, ate dogs, etc. The moral relativism and double standard are astonishing.

You were prescient. I tried to watch FOX and was astonished how Hume, et al essentially accepted the premise that gay marriage and Romney high school hazing were the top news stories of this week.

Obama says he’s evolving but is really regressing morally and as our leader is taking the rest of the country with him.
