Something is going on at Fox, Brit stunned both Wallace and Ceci for launching false premises.
Both Ceci and Wallace had no muscles in their faces after that. Just a bland stare. IOW they were caught lying and everyone saw it.
Just put a big rubber on the mike. So he looks like he's talking to a you-know-what!
Oh, I'm not using the blame game. Or, not trying to. What I AM urging is effective leadership on the GOP side to bring these judges to a vote. Just a bit of research exposes the Fortes elevation to Chief Justice as not the same thing that's going on now.
Both sides may have used the filibuster in the past to varying degrees, but there's not much argument that the Democrats are abusing their limited powers and stretching the history of filibusters to justify their position.
Thanks , I like him , but I've got the Indy time trials cooking!!! And I'm bouncin' back & for to the , NEWSWEEK LIED , PEOPLE DIED thread
Pappa Mike Wallace was probably laughing his *ss off at his son getting dressed down as he did. It was a funny morning.
Remember this?

FOX's FNS was a joy to watch this morning. However, Brit has been on a roll for a few weeks now. He was good last week too, as he kept bringing the conversation back to the issues and not let the rest of the panel go off on tangents.
LOL. I saw some of it on SeeBS. Kennedy was actually dried out, and his hair was loose and fluffy. He looked almost alive, but he was fumbling quite a bit.
Oh well, at least they seem to have taken the Olds Delta 88 away from him.
;-)
yeah , didn't it mention hunters that hadn't shot one could PURCHASE a goose?? You can buy a goose down in Greenwich Village ,also ,...24/7
Brit is one helluva guy! He is the KING of News on TV. I love that man!
I think they were using those "fuzzy lens" that don't show the fosilizing details sooo much, LOL.
True. Brit Hume is simply the best in the business. I have not anyone who can compare to his professionalism. Even when he's the host, he works hard in getting the pundits to respond coherently, and keeps them off tangents.
If the DEMs don't object to moving to the vote, there won't even be a need for a cloture motion.
The filing of a cloture motion is a concession that Rule XXII is a proper route to follow for judicial nominees, regardless of the outcome of the cloture vote that will come on the second day after the motion is filed. Some Democrats would have to vote for cloture in order to obtain the 60 votes required to move to the vote.
I don't have a prediction as to how it will play out, just summarizing a couple of paths that are short of a rules change (or rules reapplication, see Rule XXXI) the way that I understand them.
And Brit can get properly pissed at times. I love it when he gets angry, because he's always on the right side of the issue.
Who's Caset???
Yeah! I thought so, too. One of the very best in a long time. Very good to see Brit speak up and correct not only Cece, but Chris. I wish they'd dump the "Power Player" segment and extend the Round Table.
It's like arguing with an attorney. You can't win because they have insight you don't. Pundits and the press are similar in that they are perceived as experts in their field and it takes someone from within their profession to nail them properly when the are misreporting, guessing, misstating the facts, etc. Brit's long history, professionalism and sense of fairness gives him the perspective and knowledge to correct others in his field.
They should make Brit Hume the Power Player of the Year, and just have him explain things to the public as he debunks the myths the left tries to proffer. Better yet, get Brit to debate different media types from the left, one on one, on a weekly basis. Won't happen, but one can wish.
