Romney on This Week Without David Brinkley...
Thanks and good morning. I wouldn’t miss Scalia for anything.
One more thing. Notice Scalia is on FNC and NOT ABCCBSNBCPBS? Maybe he enjoys giving his opinions without being attacked by a network of Democrat/Marxist supporting liberals.
You knocked this one out of the park Bray!
I would suspect that the DNC Media would want to discuss his comments about the London Olympics (and how horrible they were!), his refusal to release his tax returns (which somehow proves he's hiding something) and his entrapment of American Jews (see this Pelosi thread here and here) by visiting Israel.

Gibbs talks like Obama is running and the year is 2008 — will do infrastructure, yada yada yada.
[What has Obama been doing for the last 3.5 years? Breaking things.]
Sub Host thinks the election will hinge on a gaffe, a misstatement, like what Romney said in London about the Olympics.
[Subhost did NOT play a clip of what Romney did say, so what was the supposed gaffe?]
Gibbs implies that Romney embarrassed the US in the eyes of the whole World, by questioning whether they (England) were ready for the Olympics.
Yawnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
Morning AB, All.
Thank you AB for doing this thread.
I was going to start out with a story about Catholics, politics and my recent participation in a march on Rt. 1 no less, about that awful Obamacare and how it would force Catholics to provide abortions, et al, against the church’s doctrine.
Which I still will, but let me begin by, shocker, something having to do with Sunday talk shows.
First thing on Fox Sunday....”Romney’s gaffe at the Olympics.”
First, I might not especially like Romney but he did not say anything offensive when asked about the state of the Olympic surround (London). I thought Romney’s answer was calm, measured, well thought-out and the biggest bugaboo of all, the thing that has the world keening on end about what he had the nerve to do....IT WAS THE TRUTH!
Romney didn’t say anything bad. He expressed the same concerns expressed the entire week prior....issues of London security, possibilities of strikes....that sort of thing.
The rule is, evidently, that politicians should never tell the truth or they will be villified for same.
And they wonder why the politicos always lie.
It’s because WE expect it of them.
From misreading the title of Judge Scalia’s book
to misspeaking English, Chris Wallace
was SO outclassed by Judge Scalia that it was
like an ant interviewing a real scholar.
After misspeaking words, and not looking very smart,
to feign intellect, Wallace brings in leftist positions.
“Is Justice Breyer wrong?” says the Romney Anchor-Wife?
Judge Scalia was so crisp and smart both in this answer,
and what he said thereafter, that it should be heard
and not reviewed.
Then, Wallace appears to try to mock the Judges’ book.
The number of issues is the same as Heinz products,
Wallace leaks due to his brain-mouth problem from
trying to bring in everything to Romney and the DNC.
As it continues, Judge Scalia shows irritation as he corrects
Wallace who misreads about mandates and
then the Judge’s Opinion. Smackdown.
Gun control. Wallace brings up quashing the 2nd Amendment
probably because Romney supports gun control.
The Judge points out this will be decided in future
cases. Wallace tries to get him to decide now.
Assault rifles? 100 round weapons?
The Judge repeats that this will be decided in
the future. Smackdown.
Privacy. Wallace tries to purport what the Constitution
says about privacy, and the Judge corrects him
and sets him straight. Smackdown.
Wallace tries twice to get the Judge to talk about
internal Court proceedings, but Judge Scalia correctly
refuses. Smackdown.
Wallace queries about the politics of the Judges.
J. Scalia points out they are not political but
accurately notes that judges
are “selected because of their judicial philosophy”.
J. Scalia comments on Obama’s attack on SCOTUS
at the State of the Union was so good that it too
should be heard, and not reviewed.
On and on it went with the AnchorWife trying
to make Judge Scalia “admit” he is cantankerous
when all it showed is that Judge Scalia is honest
and appreciates the TEXT of the law.
Cnn’s Candy Crowley is getting her money’s worth out of the bogus WSJ poll (D+11) by claiming that Obama has a 15 point edge in foreign policy. Kelly Ayote had a tough time countering the lib spin.
I think the dust up over a Chik-Fil-A business license in Chicago, and other Chicago news stories, truly unveiled the "true" Chicago Values.
The First Amendment is not welcome in Chicago. Free speech is only welcome if you believe the same things as the Mayor. The CEO of Chik-Fil-A did NOT come out AGAINST gay marriage, he simply stated his belief in one-man-one-woman definition of marriage. Ironically, Rahm - as Barry's Chief of Staff - agreed with his former boss opposing gay marriage, but that was before the election-cycle "evolution" of that position to shore up the base.
The Second Amendment is not welcome in Chicago. This issue is not about hunting, it is about protection from an oppressive government. Those in office are no longer afraid of - nor do they respect - those they are supposed to serve.
The Fifth Amendment is not welcome in Chicago - but that may be changing. Based on the Burge trial, Chicago is now north of $7M in payouts for wrongful arrests and convictions from the cops beating a false confession out of suspects.
Religious positions are imposed on Chicagoans with a schizophrenic fervor. You can't openly talk about support of traditional marriage, but a self-described Jew who is the mayor has invited the openly antisemitic Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam to "patrol" Chicago's streets. Maybe the Chicago Cops are secretly in favor of traditional marriage and can't be trusted to do their job to stem the flow of blood in the streets.
