LIberal hack.

I’m embarrassed to say that I didn’t realize it has been twenty years since we had a female moderator at a presidential debate.  I’m assuming this year won’t be an aberration but a new normal.  Assuming and hoping, I should say.

In case you are wondering about Ms. Crowley’s viewpoints, she said Saturday that the Ryan selection as VP  “looks a little bit like some sort of ticket death wish.” Now, Ms. Crowley is professional enough to sort of attribute that to unnamed Republicans. A skilled journalist uses unnamed sources, or attributes ideas to to “some say” when they are speaking their own opinion but don’t want to be seen as doing so.

LIberal hack…I’ve always thought she leans to the right.

Have you seen the makeup of the commission who made these choices?   I’m surprised Romney agreed to it.

She does.

well, she’s better than her evil sister Monica Crowley… who LOOKS like Candy but tastes like untreated sewage.

It’s a good choice,I guess.

I know Imma get bashed for this,but I’d have really liked to see Rachel Maddow moderate a Prez debate,cause she’s super smart.

Still,Candy is a good choice.Even though she leans right,she’s mostly fair.

We know you are.
It’s part of your name.

 She does lean to the right, but only to keep from falling onto her left side.

Liberals have consistently moderated presidential debates for decades. This is hardly a deviation from that trend.

If a centrist or conservative ever moderated a debate there would be no chance of a liberal executive.

Liberals can only handle debate when the game is fixed and then only part of the time.

Hey,wingnut.

I said she was a good choice,didn’t I?

No need for some batshit here,so calm down,I’m trying to get drunk peacefully,k?

*drink*

Jeez…

Nominated as funniest reply for the month of August.  Likely a winner.

We hope it is a battle in the war on women that has been won by the just side.

Bob Schieffer regularly editorializes on Face The Nation, is named as a moderator, and no one questions his credentials as a journalist.

The single criterion for being a moderator is basically when people are confused about the political stances of a journalist.  Ask a progressive if Crowley is a despicable righty, and they all say so.  Ask a right wingnut if she’s a lefty, they assert it most positively.  That would not be true for Maddow:  many progressives would own Maddow.

what was that thing about Pigs with lipstick? If the lefty fits – and even with the decks stacked the dopeyRatz will lose!
