Here is video of Karl Rove absolutely schooling Juan Williams (sitting in for Bill O'Reilly) when Williams made the mistake tonight of accusing President Bush and his administration of "doing nothing" to reign in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to avoid a Housing Meltdown. That's all it took.
Rove proceeded to lay out the facts that the Bush Administration tried to get legislation to regulate the mortgage lenders, but were blocked by Democrats, including then Senator Barack Obama.
This is one of the main reasons I miss Brit Hume on Special Report. He used to do that to Juan all the time. For the most part, Bret Baier just moves on to the next commentator. Baier is such a lightweight.
I saw that earlier this morning - Rove really pinned Juan’s ears back...
What was really amusing was that Juan - being used to making the ‘Bush’s Fault’ charge unchallenged - was completely at a loss when confronted with facts — he tried to quickly change the subject, and Karl wasn’t going to let him...
Hilarious.....
Juan was filling in for O’Reilly last night
Evidently the video of the dems attacking and insulting the auditors was not seen by Juan.
He would have us believe him rather than our own eyes.
I suspect he is on orders from NPR to toe the line or else lose his job there.
Wonder when he will be on the side of America rather than Obama. The two sides are icompatible.
I used to love the way Brit Hume used to give Juan a hard stare after Williams would say something ridiculous and start in on him with, “Now Juan...(lecture, scold, lecture). That used to be the highlight of the “Fox All Star Panel” discussions for me.
Anyone who knows what they’re talking about can always make a fool of the libhole they’re talking to.
Juan needs to go back to NPR.
What a tool.
Juan has undergone a bit of a transformation in recent years. Granted, he still has a long way to go but it wasn’t too long ago that his sneering countenance could be counted on to parrot back the liebural line in lockstep fashion. I actually kind of like him most of the time. The sneer seems to be gone now. Maybe this incident will hasten his progress.
I hate that “interrupt you” BS that passes for journalism.
Juan doesn’t have the talent to flip burgers much less interview.
I wonder where Juan went to get his head sewed back on?
Yes, but the Bush Administration did not try to push this publicly and they never defended themselves very well either. McCain rolling over like a cheap whore in his campaign did not help either. The Republicans did nothing to protect their brand name and got completely destroyed.
How retarded is Juan Williams? “What did you and Bush do about it?”
“Well, we tried to fix it five years earlier, but the Dems, including Obama, filibustered it”
“Now you’re just pointing fingers, what did you DO about it?”
So does Juan Williams not understand how our government works? I know they would like for Obama to be king, but the President is not king you goons.
Why in the world would FOX let Juan fill in for OReilly?
Juan is a certified liberal and dumb as a post.
He should be shocked, no one has defended Bush for the last three years. That is why we have the #1 Bush-hating cheerleader as POTUS right now.
Correction...McCain IS A CHEAP WHORE!
Bush + Henry Paulson = plenty of blame to pass around.
Anyone paying attention to tings over the pat 3 years just had to know the facts of the mortgage fiasco. The role played by the Democrats, Barney Dodds Obama and yes ACORN. What is most surprising is the inability of the Republicans to shine the light of blame where it squarely belongs. The Democrats really got a free pass on this one. And how about the fantastic bonuses reaped by Democrat lackies who ran Mae and Mack. The Dems, who are magicians at steering blame away from themselves, immediately blamed Wall street for all the economic woes, Wall street and Bush, of course. I remain in “shock and awe” as to how they continue to get away with it.
No he isn't, a cheap whore has limits. I repent to all cheap whores everywhere for my previous comment.
