Schadenfreude
(German) malicious enjoyment at the misfortunes of others.

I agree with MM the Demoncrats have become honorary members of the Horticultue world because of all the planting they are doing. I bet they chose this new method of campaigning because it is similar to cloning, and is in line with their bait and switch mentality.

This debate had more leftist than the Demoncrat debate.

Ask a few questions: Why did he retire as a B/Gen., did he just reach his ‘Peter Principle’? Does he support or not support “do not ask do not tell”? If he supports the policy he should have sat next to the phony ‘Log Cabin’ Republican.

The Clinton News Network has lost the one picogram of credibility that it still had.

I was privileged to miss the debate last night, I chose instead to go see Mark Steyn. He was wonderful.

From the sublime to the ridiculous, I listen to Mark Steyn, followed by loser clips from the Repo debate.

One shill could be missed and we could at least accept the lie that no one knew, but how many were there? Six? Eight?

It is simply not possible for any honest entity, who’s profit depends on research talent, to have done its diligence and to suddenly discover that it missed a half dozen “spies”. This was planned, without question.

Who has the ego and the record of lies and coverups to match the amount they have to gain?

Full speed ahead, Glenn!

AHHH, Glenn Beck. Only program on CNN I can stand to watch. I’ve mentioned many times how I’d love to see MM on his show. I hope it’s soon. They’d make great sparing partners, albeit preaching to the choir.

Gibson asks, what did Anderson know, and when did he know it?

Earlier I felt that this was more a CNN scandal than a Hillary scandal, but Dick Morris (ugh) is making a good case that Hillary’s fingerprints are all over this, and he is comparing it to Nixon’s dirty tricks. Dick wants to know what did her staff know and when did she know it?

Okay, stupid post title. The title should be, “why this debate agriculture matters”. For the answer we turn to Hot Air commenter Buy Danish: Speaking of suits, I posted this on one of the other threads, but look at what……

I sent a “Good-bye” email to CNN – well except that I will watch Glenn.

Michelle – when will you get your own TV slot? Or another Vent up?

I should check out Media Matters more often. Here’s their latest hysterical item:

Headline!:

CNN’s Bohrman apologized to Republican candidates over question in YouTube debate, but has yet to apologize to Democrats.

What was the nature of the apology, one might ask?

In a statement published in a November 29 post to CNN’s “Political Ticker” blog, CNN senior vice president David Bohrman, the executive producer of the debate, apologized for allowing the question to have aired, given Kerr’s campaign affiliation: “We regret this, and apologize to the Republican candidates. We never would have used the General’s question had we known that he was connected to any presidential candidate.”

So, the cravenly coward slips an apology in at CNN’s own blog? I’m not watching CNN (shocking, I know) but I’d love to know if they have had him on today.

He also fails to mention all the other weeds in the garden.

What a farce.

As the above headline suggests, Red State has some thoughts on what should happen next at CNN. Meanwhile, Glenn Beck compares and contrasts how CNN’s management runs roughshod over his CNN show, versus what “accidentally” slipped through the cracks …

Please get David Bohrman on the phone. No one is talking about this guy’s role in all this.

I am, but I’m just a nobody!

The funny thing is that I found out about this by checking Media Matters where they were whining about how unfairly the Dems were treated by CNN last time around.

Media Matters posted this before the debate…

Speaking of suits, I posted this on one of the other threads, but look at what the CNN Suit in Chief, David Bohrman, who is their “Washington bureau chief and executive producer of the debate”, promised:

From: Sneak Peek at CNN/YouTube Debate Videos/By Ariel Alexovich, dated November 21, 2007.

…many of the remaining posts involve asking the candidates to defend their opposition to gay marriage and abortion. Those kinds of “lobbying grenades” would be disqualified by the CNN selection team, Mr. Bohrman said.

“There are quite a few things you might describe as Democratic ‘gotchas,’ and we are weeding those out,” Mr. Bohrman said. CNN wants to ensure that next Wednesday’s Republican event is “a debate of their party.”

The suit has a few questions to answer. I don’t recall any “gay marriage” questions, but they sure did a lousy job of weeding!

- Anderson Cooper is a bottomlevel useful idiot for the useful idiots.

- Wonder when and who MM will pick as her candidate

- Great interview

David Bohrman, CNN’s Washington Bureau Chief was the guy in charge of the question selection.

He is the man who needs to answer some questions…

On Tuesday, Hugh Hewitt had on his show, Youtube’s “Director of news and politics”, Steve Grove discussing the Youtube debate and how it affects the integrity of the political process.

Grove was asked who, specifically, is choosing the questions and Grove said that David Bohrman and his team were the ones in charge.

Please get David Bohrman on the phone. No one is talking about this guy’s role in all this.
