Jerk alert! Jerk alert! Buzz Bissinger on CNN!

I smell lies! "Life long Democratic" my eye. He is voting for Romney and is crying about the tweets and F bombs he got from declaring who he was voting for in his SPORTS COLUMN!

Who is this guy? A sports writer?? Can someone find out his voting record and IF HE is registered?

His politics don't matter to me. I don't use that filter to determine who I like, unless of course it's a politician.

And by the way, Winky, I include myself in the passionate demographic and sometime type quicker than my brain can process. But after your admonition I promise to be more careful not to type something that might suggest I am stupid.

3. I've been listening to his talk radio show here in Philly

for a few months. The station got rid of the extreme personalities, Hanutty & Beckkk, in favor of local wingnuts, but his show was refreshing for being balanced. Buzz, I thought, was a Democrat, the other guy a moderate, not sure what his politics are exactly. Last week Buzz is all in for Willard the con man, and his radio partner is sounding like a Democrat, making logical arguments and questions as to how absurd Buzzes complete 180 is.

Because of one lackluster debate performance??? This guy is a complete douche.

5. Well I wondered. He talked with such conviction about how awful the "liberal media" is and

recited all of the repuke talking points so quickly that he just didn't ring true. I was pissed that CNN gave him time for his propaganda, that's all.

is contributor to Vanity Fair, wrote Friday Nights Lights (I don't know of), wife NYU chancellor. Yip, he told KURTZ that he's a lifelong Dem from a Dem family, but that Mittens was just SO (sic) dynamic while OBAMA just wanted to go to anniversary dinner that THIS AND THIS ALONE made him make such a life-shaking change, that he has caught whup-ass from his wife, his editor, and his friends and that he is now sarcastic about how tolerant Libs are supposed to be and that these relationships will be affected by how he has been treated. Awwww, poor baby.

His writing on the case was excellent. Sorry to see that he is a jerk politically.

8. Yeah, really... He seemed normal on the few times he was on Tweety commenting on Sandusky...

but he is clearly not normal if he thinks Mittens is anything other than just terrible!
