Oh, wait, I see the HasselâŚ
âA foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do. He may as well concern himself with his shadow on the wall. Speak what you think now in hard words, and to-morrow speak what to-morrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict every thing you said to-day. â âAh, so you shall be sure to be misunderstood.â â Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood.â
â Ralph Waldo Emerson, Self-Reliance
Would Ralph mind if we inserted âintentionallyâ before âmisunderstoodâ?

Is this a first? Being on Fox? Is the Pres setting up Fox watchers to be schooled over the next few months?

White House press secretary Josh Earnest and Fox News host Elisabeth Hasselbeck on Wednesday fought to talk over each other in several minutes of back and forth about President Barack Obamaâs response to terror attacks in Paris
oh they sent the little girl to question the mean old press secretary. Itâs gotta be on account of the other two âpotted plantsâ having issues getting their âquestionsâ ready.
"Would you go back and ask for that language to be changed at this point to reflect some sort of solidarity and intentional aggression against ISIS?"
refrains from grammar slammingâŚ
Where is that piece of important info?..I know I put it somewhereâŚ"
By the way, Elizabeth needs to ask why that request to either amend or re-authorize the '01 AUMF is still hanging around on Speaker Ryanâs desk.
Thereâs gotta be a reason for that.

Josh should have told this craven _itch that she nor Faux Noise speaks on behalf of the American people. This is an old trick Faux and the Right have been using for quite sometime. The Right loves being outrage if one doesnât use the same bellicose rhetoric they use on a multitude of levels. For the life of me I fail to realize why anyone from this Administration goes on this so-called network. I guess I understand not wanting to seem âcowedâ by these propagandist (if you canât deal with Faux, how can you deal with Putin stuff,) however, Josh and others from this Administration should be even more aggressive when they (Faux) treat them/him with level of contempt and disrespect they customarily show.

âŚthatâs if you consider them news. I NEVER use the word NEW when describing them. Not even in their name as a so-called ânewsâ Channel. Faux, Fixed are substitutes for Fox and Noise for news.
Using ISIS to advance a partisan political agenda and lie about the POTUSâŚIll bet the ISIS folks are loving all this.

Kerry took a lot of flak, but I heard what he said and what he was trying to do was distinguish between the Charlie Hebdo attacks in which the Islamist attackers claimed to have been retaliation for their being hurt and maligned by the satirical magazine, and the Friday attacks where there was not even one iota of claiming revenge for anythingâjust the desire to kill all French âpigsââŚ
