Some on the left have talking points, try and make a case for their side. Some are just stupid. And then there is Juan Williams in his crashmobile, powering into the solid brick wall over and over and over. Until his brains are so scrambled he says what he says.What a trip.

Britt and Peggy Noonan....interesting. The panel with Krauthammer is also interesting.

“My sense is that he’s actually humbled...”

I thought so, too. I was imagining what it must feel like for him to be sitting there. It must be surreal.

I rarely watch Fox News. Reading the comments, did Jaun slam Ann Romney?

He certainly did. He said she wasn't believable, that she's a very wealthy woman, other women wouldn't be able to relate to her, her stories seemed false and she is something called a "corporate wife".

Juan Williams really knows how to step in dung, flip it into his mouth and then spit it hot and wet all over himself.

Brett Baier (sp?) just joked about "kicking Juan off the panel". It IS refreshing that Fox does allow its people to voice their opinions, even when they SUCK!

Rather have it that way, than the way it seems at MSNBC (which I NEVER watch!)

Good grief. Shame on him. Juan is such a shill for the Marxist and his damn party.

Ann Romney delivered a wonderful, patriotic speech straight from her heart, IMHO. I would not be surprised to learn that she wrote it herself.

To insult her after that speech? Well, he just sounded small and petty.

And Rick and Nicki spoke about their lives, too. To me part of Rick’s speech sounded like he was still running for President.

Yes, he called her a “corporate wife” and said “She looks like a woman who’s husband takes care of her.”

Reference to Ann was in juan’s term, “corporate wife” is all I heard.

FWIW, Giuilliani reported Christie was asked to tone it down, over the weather threats banging the south.

Am I the only one who was disappointed with Chritie’s speech?

No but it wasn't last speech worthy either. Ann Romney should have been the last speech IMHO. Chrispy has had some excellent speeches and I had hoped for more, but he is a RINO after all. Not enough red meat.

Juan has become one of Obama’s most obsequious lap dogs.

“And then there is Juan Williams”

Just stop watching that guy and let Fox know that you change the channel every time he comes on. That’s what I have done.

Gotcha,honest appraisal,wise decision.

Krauthammer just giving a summary of both Ann Romney and Christie hes a brilliant guy.

But, like you I always remember who he works for and where he goes to work every day--WAPost. I'm always wary. SARAH ALERT!!!
