Those who know their manners would never in a million years treat an elder the way Mittwitt treated Jim Lehrer. Meanwhile, President Obama was respectful of the moderator and even complimented him on his performance, thus placing the blame for the unprofessional conduct squarely on Mitt's shoulders, where it definitely belongs.

something he has been doing for years.

"Success" as a Nation in foreign policy.

"Success" on the playground.

"Success" in business.

"Success" in bureaucracy.

"Success" in religion.

"Success" in politics.

"Success" in academia.

"Success" in justice.

"Success" even in families and friendships.

The are certainly exceptions and the exceptions are most likely to be liberal and democratic.

The strategy is not uniquely American or to our times, but we have been the most successful recently.

"Success" comes easier to those that lie, bully, and cheat. We are drenched in the ethos.

happen at Current just yesterday. Even the moderators can't shut them up. One has to make an ass of one's self to get a word in, then the RW Bully interrupts and keeps on going. I've never seen it before, and it's what happened to Jim Lehrer last night and every moderate, progressive panel. Hammer and lie...hammer and lie...interupt, hammer and lie.

Normal people don't act that way. Normal people have some boundaries...but not the batshit crazy ones...the Tea Party...the Offensives. Imagine this on the international scale. Dumbfounding. We have discovered the lowest common denominator of The American...and it isn't pretty.
