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.

I had to google GILF.

Now, my evening and dessert is ruined. No telling yet about dinner.

Thanks.

Who watches the doormat schieffer?

Too many low information voters -- they're who his "interviews" are designed to misinform. He's been carrying water for the Left since he got the host job.

Shiver me timbers, aarrrgghhh ... where's that DD? Hey sweetie! What's that flower you got on?

[Nachum]

Cummings probably only agreed to the interview on the condition that Schieffer NOT ask those questions.

[Lazamataz]

Let me guess: “It’s an ongoing investigation; I cannot comment on it.”

Schieffer is an old-line Fort Worth Democrat a la Jim Wright, but Fort Worth is the only city proper in TX that remains Repoublican despite the “popular” Wendy Davis.

[Theodore R.]

Big city proper, not the medium-sized cities

That picture is priceless and will only increase in value. :)

The Schieffmeister is just doing his job, i.e., preserving the ignorance of the Obama electorate.

I will never waste my time watching that FRAUD Schieffer again .

Unbelievable that he would not bring up the allegations the degenerate crook Cummings conspired with Lerner against True the Vote.

He's either SENILE and doesn't even know about it, or he is part of the conspiracy.

I thought the point of having the marxist simpleton on in the first place was to discuss this at least in part.

DEGENERATE PROPAGANDISTS AT CBS.

[Lazamataz]

Nope. Never happened, according to Schieffer.

[Old Yeller]

I’d hit them both.

You mean with a deer rifle, right?

[shalom aleichem]

Cummings is a POS supremeo

[Tenlein]

It should be “Democrat Party activist Bob Schieffer, appearing on ‘Face the Nation’...”. Of course, if he had asked Cummings about Lois Lerner, he would have been accused of being a racist, and ol’ Bob would never risk that.

[Huskrrrr]

“Schieffer for Senate?”

Good one!

[KC_Conspirator]

Journalistic fraud.

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks Lazamataz.

I saw it - it was ‘ guilty white liberal begging to kiss black butt’. Easily the most disgusting thing I’ve seen this year. It degrades both men.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Bob Schieffer should go to a rest home with Harry Reid.

Maryland “Freak State” PING!

[Jimmy Valentine's brother]

Bob Schieffer should go to a rest home with Harry Reid.

I agree if that home is named HELL.
