A good one will set one back several grand--Tony Bennett (bald as a billiard ball) wears good ones. Frank does not.

That is one unhealthy looking guy; every year he looks more and more sick, bloated, flabby and unfit. Reminds me of Tim Russert, sweaty and flushed.

He looks like he is MELTING. Maybe his wig is making him hot, or something.

He is what he is--he is a GOP tool. It's not even up for debate. He is not an honest broker.

is a shill for Luntz.

Why is this man allowed to do this on national tv? He is a partisan republican hack who is gifted in framing discussions. This particular exercise has probably allowed him to gather talking points against Hillary for the rest of the campaign.

survive without Luntz to give them the specific phraseology, trigger words and talking points. They cannot communicate to/mislead (imo) the masses about what they (GOP) are actually up to/doing while simultaneously blaming it All on PBO/Libs/Dems/Progs/Populists for their deeds. He's that important and he is good at it, I must admit.

Here, let Him explain circa 2011:

Don't expect a fair shake from any of 'em

CBS jettisoned Dan Rather without batting an eye.

"If you don't vote for Marco Rubio/Jeb/Some other GOP nitwit...."

He sounded like he was describing his worst nightmare. It wasn't even terribly nuanced.

This guy is in the pockets of the RNC. There's no way he'd "switch sides" and anyone who knows anything about his history, going back over the last decade and a half, knows this about him. His comments were a call to arms, not an endorsement.

Hey, he used his "Words That Work" on you....and you bought it!

He is trying to chose which one his side has to run against.
And he wants the one with the most ammo in his locker...besides a Clinton will nullify the Bush name problem...and Bush will be the chosen one not the clowns they dangled before us.

Choosing your opponent has it's power.

I watch CBS most days, I like Charlie Rose.
I was like what the fuck is this shit? A hit piece on Hillary is all it was.
Who hates Hillary? Who just does not trust her? Bout even.......

Wha... I knew the fat guy was a typical repig and I knew the audience were just some people they wanted to be the audience. CBS does not have a studio audience, they dont even hang out on the street. They usually do a good news broadcast.
I mean on monday, I turned on my tv and it was on ABC and the lead story was Pam Gellar. I flipped to CBS and the lead was I dont remember . But it was not the sensationalist bullshit story.Hell I knew that and I was only 1 third awake too.

So CBS is running hit pieces on Hill ?

Thats Foxesque

I have to add that I saw Paul Ryan on sunday spinning his web of RW bullshit. The poor just have it too good. It makes them , 'dependent'! Thats very bad.....Charlies Curalt was very 'curt. He kind of said , 'whatever, moving on....'
