Every example CROWLEY gave KURTZ about being tough at debate was against the President

She kept harpiing about what the hard parts of her role of moderator would be, namely having to corral and tamp down THE PRESIDENT, as in, "It's so much harder to say, 'Mr President, she (audience) asked about APPLES and you answered ORANGES, can you address the
question?!1" (There were two or so other examples, all about the President.)


Yip, Haley BARBOUR's love-groupie will be ON TOP OF IT!1 Oh, she said she knows she's going to get feedback about how she did after the debate, so I hope she's going to be surprised at HOW MUCH there will be.

Crowley for her to ask.

My understanding is she is a big pizza eater and will ask the question - Pepperoni or Sausage? I hear if she does she'll get free pizza for a year.

where Gore cleaned Bush's clock. Bush was terrible and everyone knew it. Crowley was on camera and kept saying over and over "Well, he (Bush) held is own, yes, he certainly held his own." She isn't smart, that is the real issue. I have no idea how she made it so far in news given her mediocrity.

almost any of all the journalists he knows. Once again, a lowly nobody like me can see things that our media leaders with all their social and intel resources just can't see.

The guest he told this to was one Buzz BISSINGER, who (I'd never heard of him) is a sports writer for The Daily Beast and has a radio show and contributes to Vanity Fair and says he has caught Hades from Libs since he declared he's for Mittens since the first debate, that his wife, his editor, and people he thought were friends have all delivered whup-ass on him for this and that their reaction is going to affect his relationships with them all. He says he has been a lifelong Dem, comes from a Dem family, but Mittens is just SO good, and he thought Libs were SO tolerant but not anymore. Awwwww, poor baby.

"Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose" is from that TV show, and Romney has been openly accused of plagiarism for it. Romney was asked to cease using that slogan.

Obama will take a page out of Clinton's playbook and charmingly put her in her place if she tries to play some fkn game with him.

on election night in 2000 when Florida was first announced as a Gore win, which would doom W's chances of winning it all - she looked like she was about to burst into tears while "reporting" the details. She gave the Peggy Noonan/Ronald Reagan love story a run for the money in her adoration of the idiot prince. It was disgusting and she kept it up for eight horrible years. Now she's showing us again how "objective" she is.

which she covered by scowling everytime the camera was on her and making snide comments. When the balloons did not come out of their nets at the end, she said something like there you go, the convention is over, and even the balloons do not want to come out while staring mournfully into the camera. For the repub conventions, she is all smiles and giggles.

although no one with two brain cells thinks she is. Up until a few years ago, almost all "mainstream" political journalists had this attitude, but most have them have loosened up a
little now. She gives the impression of being a rush listener, and I don't think she reads or listens to any progressives. She is really, really horrible at her job in every way. When you add the bias to it, why does she have a job? Bottom line? Yes, she will ruin this debate and swing it towards romney if she has a chance.

It's particularly clear with Andrea MITCHELL and Leslie BLITZER.
