I don’t know what Mike Allen thought he was getting himself into here, but after this he’d be well advised not to go throwing stones at anyone else for coming off badly in interviews. The clip’s long but the first 3:45 is intro and can be safely skipped if you watched the MSNBC vid this morning. Enjoy.

CLICK ON ABOVE LINK AND LISTEN TO THE AUDIO ( start at the 3:45 mark) FOR THE CONFRONTATION ( Mike Allen was SCHOOLED here ).

Ziegler ought to be interviewing Obama. I doubt of Obama's handlers will allow it

[SeekAndFind]

I agree with one of the posters on that site — Mike Allen seems to have something caught in his throat with every non answer he tries to deliver.

[max americana]

I still miss the dude when he was on KFI.

[Carling]

Mike Allen has a womanly voice.

[Carling]

Mike Allen is so inside the liberal echo chamber that he can’t see reality.

Media bias, Mike. Duh.

[STARWISE]

~~~~~~~~Politico gets taken down a peg ........PING!

REMEMBER:

Todd Purdum, who wrote this vicious piece about Sarah Palin in Vanity Fair, is married to DeeDee Myers .. of Clinton fame.

Where do you think his bread is buttered and what HIS bias is ???

[se_ohio_young_conservative]

embarassing for Mr Allen.

[God luvs America]

it’s amazing what happens when people are put on the spot and asked to back up claims....this dope keeps refering to what the press writes about Palin- as though it’s Palin’s fault....and keeps repeating himself like a broken record...

btw- how can I get Zeigler’s show daily???

[fkabuckeyesrule]

Let’s see I counted 5 times he was asked to give an example of stupid interviews that Palin gave and each and every time he dodged the question.

[Carling]

He came off as a colossal idiot. I’m not sure I’ve heard a dumber interview in my life.

[Carling]

I'd love to find out. Those were great questions he was asking, although the nonsensical answers were a bit depressing, because that is the mindset that we are up against.

Mike Allen is the chief political correspondent for Politico. He comes to us from Time magazine where he was their White House correspondent. Prior to that, Allen spent six years at The Washington Post, where he covered President Bush's first term, Capitol Hill, campaign finance, and the Bush, Gore and Bradley campaigns of 2000. Before turning to national politics, he covered schools and local governments in rural counties outside Fredericksburg, Va., for The Free Lance-Star, then wrote about Doug Wilder, Oliver North, Chuck Robb and the Bobbitts for the Richmond Times-Dispatch, where he nurtured police sources on overnight ride-alongs through housing projects. Allen also covered Mayor Giuliani, the Connecticut statehouse and the wacky rich of Greenwich for The New York Times. Before moving to The Times, he did stints in the Richmond and Alexandria bureaus of The Washington Post. Allen grew up in Orange County, Calif., and has a B.A. from Washington and Lee University, where he majored in politics and journalism.

Allen refuses to admit that he was pandering to the MsNBC audience. Guess he likes to see his face on TV.

[huldah1776]

He did not answer the question, he wasn’t being an idiot. He knew exactly what he was doing. Sounded just like Presidential candidate Barack Hussein Obama. Therefore, I have to conclude that Mike Allen has been exposed as anti-Palin. He is a con man like Obama. Now that he has exposed himself he should be treated with all the respect his position deserves. Mike Allen, who?

[4rcane]

THIS IS SOOO FUNNY . I’m on the floor rolling in laughter.
Mike was OWNED so badly. Mike’s own circus act. Zeigler really needs to be part of any Palin’s campaign team, preferably someone senior

” btw- how can I get Zeigler’s show daily??? “

Simply go to:

ALL of John’s previous shows are available for listening anytime. Believe me, they’re great.

Also, you can view some of his video interviews, articles and more.

Support John by spreading the word about his L.A. - based show and his videos that expose Media Bias.

Hope this helps,

Time to stop being nice guys. Next time some leftist shill reporter is trashing good people, deliver the appropriate response to deposit his or her nose through the skull and out into the back of the head.

The trash reporting will continue until there are physical consequences.

[ReluctantDragon]

If you thought this was good, you should have seen Ziegler being interviewed by Contessa (forgot her last name) on MSNBC a few weeks ago. Ziegler chewed her up and had her stuttering and stammering. She had the producer cut his mic off and you can see him at the tail end of the tape laughing about it. This was posted on FR and I’m sure you could find it searching for “Ziegler”. Ziegler is classic.

Have pity on poor Todd. Dee Dee crossed her legs and broke his glasses.The poor idjit can't see straight, and takes dictation instead.

Dictate, dictators, you know, thats all the Zero encampment has, and their thin disguises are coming off.

Sarah Palin ROCKs.
