CBS’s Bob Schieffer Interviews Dem. Elijah Cummings, Ignores His Relationship With Lois Lerner

... Instead of asking Congressman Cummings about this damaging new report surrounding the IRS scandal, Schieffer ignored the entire issue, and focused on ObamaCare and equal pay for women for the entirety of the interview.

The CBS host even falsely claimed that the GOP did not support equal pay for women: “Marsha Blackburn says Republicans are actually for equal pay for women. But yet, it was blocked in the Senate by Republicans…What is going on here?”

Given that Schieffer had the opportunity to interview the ranking Democrat on the committee leading the IRS investigation, it would have made sense to ask Cummings about the scandal, or the Democrats' questionable relationship with IRS agents.

THE KNEEPADS ARE STRONG WITH THIS ONE

“Marsha Blackburn says Republicans are actually for equal pay for women. But yet, it was blocked in the Senate by Republicans…What is going on here?”

Odd, last I heard, the Democrats controlled the Senate.
Or did I miss something?

[bray]

Marxist never attack fellow Marxists.

Pray America wakes up

[blackdog]

When liberals bark out the equal pay issue, I respond with the obvious solution.

That being just reduce all men's pay to that of the underpaid women. They do not know what to say in every case.

Isn't that the liberal mantra? Take from those who have to fund those who need?

You are guaranteed to be the most hated person in a room full of liberals.

Who watches the doormat schieffer?

[Chode]

[x1stcav]

Laz, say it ain’t so.

The word is out on Freepmail that you’d hit on Lois Lerner.

What’s next? Sebilius?

Save yourself, man!

Shieffer: “Marsha Blackburn says Republicans are actually for equal pay for women. But yet, it was blocked in the Senate by Republicans…What is going on here?”

TRANSLATION

Shieffer: “Republicans are EVIL. They HATE WOMEN. I am going to ignore ALL the facts and declare them RESPONSIBLE for failing to advance legislation that has been on the books for decades already, in a house that is controlled by DEMOCRATS, while asking this question of a person CLEARLY CRIMINALLY INVOLVED in the very investigation the House Committee is investigating — and curiously avoid asking the person anything about that. Instead, we will sit here and cackle on about how Republicans hate women. BAN BOSSY!”

bookmark for later i have to go

WAG THE DOG

[Lazamataz]

I’d hit them both.

[Lazamataz]

I didn't watch him, but I caught wind of the fact he had Cummings on, and not one word about the criminal conflict of interest. I had to see if Shieffer was indeed that bad.

He was.

[Colonel_Flagg]

They don’t even try to hide their bias any more.

I bet Cummings wanted to screen the questions prior to interview.

[unixfox]

I’d hit them both.

Me too. In the mouth!

[Lazamataz]

They don’t even try to hide their bias any more.

They gave up hiding back in 2000, or maybe earlier. Now they are proudly biased, and each try to outdo one another.

[x1stcav]

You’re shameless.

[x1stcav]

They’ll straighten you out in the re-education camp.

[smokingfrog]

This is not the scandal you’re looking for.

You can go about your business..

Move along...

The Force can have a strong influence on the weak-minded.

[Huskrrrr]

Bob needs to check into the “Broken Down Old Liberals” Retirement Home.

[Delta Dawn]

Actually, KS is kinda hot in a sort of ditzy GILF sort of way...

[jjotto]
