WHY DOES C-SPAN HAVE SOMEONE FROM AEI COMMENTING???

[Cats Against Frist]

Anyone have the answer to why they'd put a right-wing neocon to be the "commentator?"

[Connie_Corleone]

1. He needs a drink of water or something.

[jmknapp]

20. His arguments sound like sophistry

He says the objection is off base because it pertains to the vote on Nov. 2nd, whereas today's business concerns the electors' votes. "Which have nothing to do with one another."

What a pile of crap. Then he goes on to describe the Hayes-Tilden fiasco which WAS about the popular vote in three states.

2. Thanks for pointing that out.

Anyone who knows who this guy is?

10. You can check out the dirt on AEI at Disinfopedia.

5. pisses me off! Damn them!

oh well, the whole thing is so polluted. eeeeccchhhhhh

[plasticsundance]

17. I was wondering the same thing ...

The cspan anchor sounds just as nervous as Walter Berns from American Enterprise Institute.

The two of them are comforting each other that this will not change the outcome of the election and making it appear as if it's just a little snag.

Cowards with no solutions.

6. No, but

he looks and sounds like a sick, senile, old coot. Not very convincing or impressive.

[SW FL Dem]

7. Walter Berns is an idiot!

I'd rather watch the talking heads on CNN.

[IndyOp]

16. Idiot: Electoral vote has nothing to do with popular vote! (n/t)

[In Truth We Trust]

8. Fucking wingnut propagandist!

[Carolab]

9. YUCK

Write C-Span and complain. This is NOT fair and balanced coverage AT ALL!

[Oilwellian]

11. I was just going to start a thread on this

It is interesting that they only have commentary on this event from a member of an extreme-right think tank. Heil Bush.

[Avalux]

12. He's saying "nothing to see here, move along"

supposed to be an constitutional historian or something like that. Whatever.

[jasmeel]

13. He sounds tired and bored!

[IndyOp]

19. Also flustered -- rubbing his head...

Why is the damned room EMPTY?!?!? Cowards!

:grr:

[Cocoa]

14. C-span has developed a fetish for neocons

every time I turn it on, in the last few weeks, there seems to be someone from the Weekly Standard and/or AEI and/or National Review.

I emailed C-span to ask me if they've officially taken the neocons' side, they haven't answered me.

[PROGRESSIVE1]

18. I've noticed that too.

[HootieMcBoob]

15. i guess it's just another example of the so called liberal media

if they're going to have someone from aei on to comment the least they could do is get someone from center for american progress as well, they should be ashamed of themselves.

[Mike Niendorff]

21. why indeed.

Someone ought to ask them that.


MDN

[housewolf]

22. He supposedly is a constitutional scholar

supposedly providing some commentary as to the constitutional basis as to what's going on.

But the operative word there is "suposedly"
