Again, Mrs. Greenspan, shut up and listen. And, no "listen" is not the same as waiting for the

other person to stop speaking so you can hold up another shiny thing.


A former member of the diplomatic service, one who started his career under George HW Bush, was on with Mrs. Greenspan. And she made a point of pointing out that he was by no means partisan (she meant, not a Democrat. Of course, he is partisan, duh).

I am very sorry that I did not catch his name because he conducted himself with dignity and class.

He roundly condemned Mitt Romney and spelled out exactly why. And also how this was no time for politics, but a time for all Americans to be presenting a united front.

And, as soon as he finished, Mrs. Greenspan incredibly said, "Can you think of anything that the President did wrong in this?"

:wtf:

So, Mr. Classy Former Diplomat says something like, "I would never presumm to second guess the adminstration at a time like this. I am not in Libya. I am not in Egypt. I am not privy to the information that the Administration has and, as I said earlier, this is no time for politics."

Put Firmly in Her Place, meet Mrs. Greenspan.

1. MSNBC is totally blowing coverage of these events.

After Mrs. Greenspan's embarrassing show ended, each host has said that there has been a firestorm between the two campaigns.


That is an insane description of the events of the past two days.

The United States has been attacked. There is a firestorm between the United States and some in the Middle East--maybe Al Qaeeda masquerading as demonstrators, maybe not--and the President, as CIC and the sole American with Constitutional authority to engage in foreign policy--has been engaging in defensive measures and foreign policy. He has not campaigned in two days, yesterday, because it was 911 and today because four Americsns were killed in an attack. He's been dealing with foreign nations, with Americans at home, with embassies as to their safety and with the military, also as to embassy safety.

the Romney campaign, however, has been trying to use these tragic and dangerous events for Americans to gain some personal political advantage for Romney. That is not a "firestorm" between two campaigns. That is one President being the President and one campaign being, jaw droppingly self centered, un-American, irresponsible and bizarre.

:wtf:

When is our damned media going to tell it like it is, instead of engaging in insane and/or dishonest false equivalencies?

[Enthusiast]

2. MSNBC now officially sucks.

It has sucked for a long while now. Can you imagine how insane they would have been had a Democratic Presidential candidate behaved like Romney when Dubya was in office?

3. To be fair, by the Martin Bashir show, things got decidedly more anti-Romney

4. Worse--imagine Fox if Obama had done something like this to Dummya while

U.S. embassies were being attacked abroad.

In the mythology of the U.S., MSNBC is the left's equivalent of Fox, which itself is a huge false equivalency.
