“Lightning Round” - is this how far we’ve fallen?

Gotta give Hissy Chrissy credit, though. He’s been on his best behavior, for the most part.

[Rick_Michael]

I really hate the 30 second questioning. This is a terrible way to question people.

[AGreatPer]

Huckabee and his band (he plays bass) played at the FR Inaguratiion Ball in DC when he was first elected. The man was a real trip and tried to meet everyone.

Oh yea, he has lost about 100 pounds since then.

And his band was wonderful.

[SoCalPol]

Are you taking up for your new home team in the playoffs?

Since my Padres and Yankees didn’t get to the next level, am for the Bo soxs

[Soul Seeker]

Well, I watched the Chrissy smackdown vid.

I think Thompson has now cemented Matthews as “Christopher”. Most people couldn’t have pulled that off.

[IslandJeff]

Watch it: he’s the New Man from Hope

[ejonesie22]

True, shall be interesting...

[kjam22]

There’s a tough question..... who would be your economic advisor???

[IslandJeff]

D-backs are, possibly, the most faceless, sterile franchise in MLB. Go Indians.

Might take up the Cardinals down there, though.

[Shortstop7]

Oh good, I’ll have to watch the video. I certainly enjoyed that moment.

He called him “Christopher”...like he was dealing with a child. Heehee.

[eeevil conservative]

I got to meet him last month....

great speaker...but a big gov’t guy.....

I think he loves America and is a true patriot....but this health care issue is tricky....he makes sense when he talks about it...but it is truly a step closer to gov’t “solving the problem”

if they really want to solve the problem they will ignore the big AMA and Insurance Lobbyists and money and start cracking down on the corruption of Health Insurance and Health care practices....

"played at the FR Inaguratiion Ball in DC when he was first elected"

Sorry, I ment to say, when Bush was first elected.

[longtermmemmory]

can ronpaul please take his medications before he goes on TV.

[MNJohnnie]

Muah right back at you! Came by to see if you needed any help but I see you have them out numbered and surrounded all by yourself.

Pour you a drink?

[eeevil conservative]

;-)

[Shortstop7]

Oh no.....here goes crazy Ron Paul.

[SoCalPol]

McLame needs to retire and give it a rest.

[Calpernia]

I don’t understand that one either. It was declared a WOT so we have permission for Iran already.

[kjam22]

when Ron Paul talks you just wish some one would hit him with a 2x4

[eeevil conservative]

Just to watch the Libs have coronaries.....

my answer would be “Dick Cheney”
