David Gergen is an asshole.

that is all

I don't know what specifically you are referring to, but I know he's got more than one smelly one.

lol

Another one who used to seem sensible but now ... all gone. Very strange how he's gone so completely round the bend.

do not care for tom brokaw.....

he used to seem reasonable now its like he's totally gone over the edge into crazy. :-(

This goes against what OUR president is talking about. If Gergen said something wrong, let it be on his head.

And fulfilling their reasons for existence night and day

...that you didn't seem to listen to the President's words.

I disagree with David Gergen. Doesn't make him an asshole.

but if you acumulate all the things he's done and said, he is an A#1 ASSHOLE!

handled the atmosphere well.

I half expected the UA fight song to be played.

He's CNN's idea of a "moderate," but he's the right wing's hired devil's advocate. He's a professional doubt-planter.

Much, much older.

lol

My recollection is that Gergen commented that he had been expecting a more solemn event and that it had more of a pep rally or campaign rally feel to it. But he went on to acknowledge that people in Tucson needed to cheer and that while it may have been jarring at first for "traditionalists", the President's words were important and resonated with the audience and will resonate with much of the country.


Quite frankly, I don't see Gergen as being an asshole for those comments. Any number of people here at DU, and some of my friends I emailed with last night had similar reactions. We didn't really know what to expect and thus had to adjust to the particular atmosphere and tenor of the event. While I've been to Tucson a couple of times, I don't really know it and didn't realize how much, in a sense, it is a "college town." Once I understood that context, the tenor of the event made perfect sense to me.

Now maybe Gergen went on and said other things after I stopped watching, so I am only going on what little I saw.

where those came from(HIS ASS!)and I have heard a lot of them. I have posted some of them in the past. I really started noticing it during the run up to the inauguration and it has become even more evident since. Brokaw and others soon could not contain the dislike they have for this adminstration

all that mattered was his wonderful speech.

that is all

GOT THAT RIGHT!!!:thumbsup: :kick:
