I just watched the clip. Good God, what a boring show. Mark Shields has always been an oaf, but now he’s just like one of those paid airtime guys. The one sitting next to Krauthammer—did she stumble in from picking up her kids from a playdate or something? I hate this namby-pamby mush-mouth stuff. The other two—oy, who could watch this week after week? Krauthammer is obviously an intellectual and just said it all, clearly and succinctly.
Your characterization of Totenberg sure seems spot-on to me. She was SO liberal on these talk shows, and NPR has never had a problem with her being opinionated, and she’s a REPORTER, not someone like WIlliams, whose whole reason for being on these shows is to give his OPINION, not to report.
Life is not without it’s own sense of irony, it would seem...
You know, on the one hand, I could care less what happened to Juan Williams, as he is basically a leftard; he got a taste of his own medicine as I see it. basically - It’s not so pleasent when it happens to you, but when you’re on the advocating end of it, well, hey then, it’s just ducky, Juan...
Krauthammer took the lib hag to task and you could see the others squirming - that just DOESN’T happen in their safe, secure, sycophantic little world. Why, the nerve of someone actually exposing them...!!!
And as for Juan - I say use the situation for all it’s worth, pointing out the obvious hypocrisy wherever feasible; but for him, I could care less. Actually, I had to laugh about it when I heard it.
