Discussion for article #235154

So “editorializing” is the new word for asking questions you don’t want to answer?

By signing the treasonous letter to Iran, the Senator joined an artificial intelligence experiment for Sarah Palin. It makes her look smart by comparison, since not even she said anything that stupid. “Not ready for Prime Time” is a huge understatement; the man is manifestly unfit.

The question reporters should be nailing him with is how, as President, he thinks he’ll negotiate anything more difficult than a used car sale after he put it in writing that neither he nor any other Republican should be trusted to honor American commitments.

If Savannah is too tough, just go home.

And so the pattern continues. The conservatives with the inarticulate, half-baked ideas predictably run into some tough sledding when they are interviewed by knowledgeable, self-confident 'MSM ’ reporters. Their next stop is to schedule an interview with one of the babe-bots at Fox to play some softball. I hope that the next time that Savannah interviews him that she opens the interview by pointing out to the senator that he doesn’t have any ‘Fox Skirts’ to run and hide behind.

If you can’t stand the heat, Aqua Buddha, get out of the kitchen. But not too soon, you are providing me with considerable entertainment.

In the Kingdom of the Tea Party, the man with a quarter of a brain is a genius. Rand Paul is going to find out that things aren’t so comfy and affirming in the real world.

He handled the interviews like the C student that he is. Once his pre-digested responses were questioned, he had nothing to fall back on because ideologues don’t do nuance. The only thing left at that point was to attack the interviewers…and look like a cranky asshat.

Mission accomplished.

There are times when I really like Megyn. And Paul keeps shooting himself in the foot.

*Paul told Kelly that “interviews are difficult,” especially when they are contentious and the interviewer is “editorializing.”
“I don’t think it makes for good TV on both sides. And I do lose my cool,” Paul said on “The Kelly File,” adding that viewers don’t want to watch "yelling."

Tell that to O’Reilly or Hannity.

“The question some people are asking about you is whether you’re ready for prime time because it’s only going to get worse,” Kelly said. “Did you get overly emotional?”

Talk about ball busting!!! Did she just emasculate him? Why yes, she did!!!

Yes, “mother is not angry at all, mother is just disappointed”.
She is showing him the respect he deserves.

If interviews are difficult for him, how would he cope with complex geopolitical strategies and negotiations?

While it seems unlikely that he will even get to first base, its worrying that he’s at bat at all (ooh, I’m rather proud of my baseball analogy there, as an Englishman!)

“I’d rather do 30 minutes with Charlie Rose, laid back in a lazy boy chair.”

Well, that about says it all, doesn’t it?

Oh my stars and garters, Mabel, Megyn Kelly gets “tough” with Rand Paul! Yeah, right.
All Kelly did was make Rand Paul smirk. Rachel Maddow would have made him piss in his pants.

I just love it when these whiny, coddled folks get outside their little sycophant-filled bubbles and find that not all the world thinks they’re “special.”

BTW, did you see the picture of him on Josh’s blog? I swear the man hasn’t combed his hair in 6 years. Yuck. What a creep.

Criminy. What’s happening here is so transparent it’s painful to have to watch the Japanese shadow Bunraku puppets and pretend not to see the puppeteers. First, Rand once again shows his problems with being questioned by a woman. Then his people realize how seriously he’s fucked up, so next he goes out and is deliberately testy with a male reporter, and then we go on Kelly’s show so she can officially, from her perch as a Woman Journalist Who Sometimes Asks Tough Questions deflect the much more damaging issue of his being sexist into the far less damaging “question” of whether he’s too thin skinned.

His run is over. The man has demonstrated he lacks the emotional maturity to be President.

Puppet strings fray and tangle quickly when fingered by a veritable food chain of angry puppeteers and puppeteer committees. The GOPuppets need Gerry and Sylvia Anderson…

Yeah, this is the guy I want leading tough and intricate negotiations that involve the proliferation of nuclear weapons.

Megyn…Rand Paul is a creature of Fox news’s making. He’s yours. Deal with it.
