I have a better question: Are you guys running out of talking points or people to write 'em?

Finally, a journo not just accepting the canned answer as the sworn factual truth.

…and, if we’re nice to the brown people, the angry white people will be angry with us and won’t show up to vote, either.

The Senate bill is a “13,000-page document that no one has read”?

If Boehner had read only 3.5 pages per day over the past year, he’d have read it by now.

Rachel announced last night that Ramos is taking over the 10a-Noon slot on MSNBC. (Chris Jansing – former news anchor in my town – is going to be the new WH correspondent! Yay!) This guy’s going to be FUN!

Details, details. You know repukes don’t want details or the truth. They know what they know.

No kidding. It’s one of those silly soundbite/stunts, like when they used to drag out some huge pile of paper and say “who could possibly know what’s in here?”

Uh, two things: 1) that’s what you have staff for, and 2) if there are questions, have your staff talk to the staffers that put it together.

Jorge Ramos, doing what journalists should do.

Informed and knowledgeable, and ready to challenge someone from the Republican Party. Only other two people who do that are Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. #NotJournalists

Good job Mr. Ramos, about time someone put Boehner’s feet to the fire. The supine press who usually cover his pronouncements/idiot rants rarely ask him a blessed thing worth asking. Don’t think this will play well on Spanish language coverage.

Isn’t anyone else tired of this drunk? Can’t drive a car drunk, but he can try to run our country into the ground?

I’m sure bonehead went back to the office for a 5 shots break. Phew!!! what a tough moment for him. 10 brain cells almost didn’t find the standard reply program within.

That was so much fun to watch. It does my heart good to see that weasel Boehner squirming under questioning from a real journalist.

Has Rachel Maddow slipped your mind? I love the comedians, but Rachel brings more substance to the news than we’ve seen in forever.

Amazing. Boehner has been full of shit for so many years its amazing he isn’t eligible for EPA clean up funds. Or did the GOP hatchet that out too?

Mio Dios! A reporter asking a tough question?

No access to politician parties for you my friend.

That’s a two way street, though. Politicians desperately need access to the media to spin/frame the American people. The whole “I wont give you an interview if you write/say bad things about me” only works if the media doesn’t stand up and say “no problem, your opponents will love the extra media time your absence makes available”

Fair enough, and yes, she did slip my mind. She brings substance.

Stewart and Colbert bring attention.
