Notice no self-deprecating humor. Just mean-spirited jibes at opponents

Still no mention of Roxane Saberi, Euna Lee and Laura Ling.

Journalists as pawns.

Now, he’s weeping about journalists out of work. And the newspapers that have written themselves out of business with their liberal bias.

He can so bite me.

I'd be at the People table and I would have earlier changed seating cards so that I was next to Brooke Shields.
I think she and I would get along well.

This is the biggest joke ever.

His arrogance knows no bounds. Pathetic jokes and those off colored remarks are certainly not appropriate for the teens in the audience.

Lighten up. It’s the Dems that usually are so uptight. Take the ideology blinders off. It’s the weekend.

Playing up to his slobbering media!

It was very mediocre performance! He’s no George W. Bush!
