It sounded like Steele was trying to say that the POTUS stepped out in to the rose garden to make a statement about the deaths of four Americans in Libya, but the "act of terror" phrase wasn't close enough (whatever that means) to the phrase that mentioned bringing their killers to justice, so that means "act of terror" wasn't actually referring to the deaths in Libya ... even though the statement was made for the sole purpose of addressing the deaths in Libya.

Am I right? Is that what Steele was trying to say? It can't be. I must be confused. I mean ... seriously ... that can NOT be his argument! That's just ridiculous!!!

It seemed Shrum interrupted Steele just when he had broached the topic of the debate exchange about Libya. I didn't even hear Steele's point. I mean, if you just want to shut people up so they can't spread BS, that's one way of doing it. But I was a little surprised...

I've always noticed that when Repugs lose, they whine about the other side being rude, interrupting, etc.

And it is pissing them off.

Why should Shrum just sit there and let Steele get the lie out?

I'd talk right over him, too, and deliberately try to anger him, make him lose track, and purposely make him shout in order to try and get the lie out.

Makes them look demented....and desperate.

Mikey sounded desperate.

I thought he was a buffoon. Clearly the English language is a challenge for him as evidenced by the way he distorted, in his mind, the President's words on the terrorist tragedy
