Chris Wallace: Mike Wallace Has 'Lost It'

Like the governors of oh, say , Arkansas, for example...
Spot on! And what about the junior senator from NY? Freakin' pinko-commie SOBs.

"A son or daughter should never speak ill of his parents in private, and to do so in public is rotten. "

Way wrong advice. Way wrong. Inspired by fear?

[Semper Paratus]

I suspect Chris has had conversations with his father for the last several years about leaving gracefully before he embarasses himself and it fell on deaf ears.

[NittanyLion]

BS! If the parent is wrong - their wrong. My Mom is a socialist and I tell my friends about her views and how f***d up she is.

To each their own, but if one of my friends talked about their parent's political views in such a way I'd have to question his or her judgment. It's unseemly and inappropriate to denigrate one's parents, IMO. Especially in front of those outside the family structure - and all the more so in public.

Sadly, the family is often slow to realize what others around them have long observed. For instance, I'm sure Helen Thomas's family is only now starting to question if her mind matches her beauty.

After listening to him for 30 years, what else would one expect?

Yup, just a foolish, old, liberal.

These 87 year-old WWII vets are starting to remind me of the 1972 Dolphins.

They don't want their winning record surpassed.

"On the other hand, Chris seems to have moved distinctly to the Right in the time I've been listening. Not sure I'd diss my dad on a national stage, though."

Why not? I have an old senile father who has "lost it" as well, and considering he was a politician, what he says in public no matter how retarded, can be, and is believed by those other old, senile people of similar political persuasion. Old age doesn't always bring wisdom however. It brings confusion, tall tales, fragmented memories and beliefs from another era long past. Because they regress into fragments of memory from times past, they haven't a clue what's going on in the world today. They are incapable of learning news things, and what was once learned is slipping away.

Take Murtha for example. He is living in a different reality, old and senile, yet there are those that will follow his words regardles of how stupid they are. And the old, senile MSM dinosaurs elevate him into a "highly decorated" war hero, when he was only an office clerk. Clearly showing fragmented memory loss themselves. Yes, the world is "---ed up" for them. But they can't make sense of anything these days.

Aging news queens Wallace, Cronkite and Rather were never "newsmen." Their total lack of journalistic skills was compensated by good broadcast voices and distinguished personas. They are one-dimensional actors who read from a script while real reporters, producers and writers do the actual work. They are illusions like the Wizard of Oz. LBJ however knew that Cronkite--a cronic drunk--was a powerful enough illusion to convince the American public that the Vietnam war was lost when it was actually won.

[cynicom]

This is nothing but what Wallace has had in his mind all his life. It goes far beyond mere "politics". He has been in the forefront of the assault on America for many years.

"What in the world prepared you to be the commander in chief of the largest superpower in the world? As Beavis and Butthead would retort...er-r-r-r-rr--rrr My Dad was a er-er was Vice President and then er-er President...does that count?

[zeebee]

I learned something at a geriatrics seminar:

"As you get older, you become more of what you always were"

[RVN Airplane Driver]

er-er forgot..."dumbass"

[I see my hands]

To make nice with the enemy is to be the enemy.

#75..I see we see the same possibilities..It was a real adventure and a trial at times with my mother..I did not know how bad it was going to get..I then yearned for the occasionally very embarrassing moments when she still knew who I was.
On her own she had made me her trustee and gave me power of attorney when she was still in good shape. She insisted.

I don't see Mike as the kind who would have done that somehow..

[Popman]

The father may be losing his mind, but the son is a rotten POS for denigrating his own father publicly (even privately).

Have the same thoughts, but it occurred to me that maybe Mike and his Dad have already had the talk about Dad is losing it. Please don't embarrass yourself. etc.

Chris knows that when his father starts speaking like a loon, he will be put in a very strange position of either defending his dad or publicly outing him as a sick man. Either way it must be tough

Maybe it's Mikes way of doing an intervention.

Just conjecturing

[spectre]

Chris is watching his father become unhinged, and is speaking up about it. These things are never easy to explain.

That said, I've got to give Mike Wallace the credit for raising such a fine son.

Boy they must have had one heck of family thanksgiving dinner.

He is no different than 95% of the Stone Age Press. They are nothing but moonbats. The New Press is driving them nuts.

In your background, Mr. President, you apparently were incurious. You didn't want to travel.

As they're fond of saying in Texas "if your born & bred a Texan, why go anywhere else? We got it all here in Texas!"
