Ann Romney on Leno. No Sicilian Papa not the way you are thinking. She’s on his show…get your mind out of the gutter.
Doug? d.d. can’t marry you, I heard you can’t fish LOL
DB – Hillbilly, you are about the 100th poster who has tried to point out to suiko how he contradicts himself and pointed out he has destroyed his own argument with his own words. Just forget it!!
———————————–
Just giving the “comment lawyer” a dose of his own medicine.

Gabriel is my personal smackdown lawyer, and I hate it because he is GOOD at it
@Coffee Steve
————————————–
The video was doctored and spliced in different areas, the missing 2 minutes are reported to have shown him as he spoke about the 47% putting it in a proper perspective, no one can be for a company to be able to splice and cut, right?
————————————–
So let me get this straight, in the 2 lost minutes Romney somehow made up for every stupid thing he said putting them in proper perspective. What exactly did he say? “hey you know all that stuff I talked about earlier ignore that, it was just my impression of how those stupid democrats think we talk”
What I even find funnier is Fox news bitching about video getting edited and spliced up. lol
@Mark

Then why won’t they release it?
@Mark

Find where I ever defended Fox for showing vids that were cut or edited, I’ll save you some trouble, you won’t find it

White House Blocked DOJ Inspector General From Pursuing Lead In “Fast and Furious”
I dont think that most people know and if they only watch MSNBC I Know they dont know that before the IG could report to congress the report had to go to the DOJ so they could edit out what they didnt want in there!
Only one show beat FNC in the “demo” nunbers game for Wednesday
Net 10PM P2+ (000s) 25-54 (000s) 35-64 (000s)
FNC ON THE RECORD W/GRETA…………..2,159 458 897
CNN Anderson Cooper 360………………623 226 313

CNBC AMERICAN GREED………………….239 101 150
HLN Nancy Grace……………………..160 46 64
@Steve
It’s fair enough to say well he could have said something nice or positive in the 2 minutes that are lost, but even if he did it’s hard to counteract all the other stuff he did in 2 minutes
@Mark
One last thought on the Video, how do we know it wasn’t dubbed over as well?
Without the original we’ll never know.
I’m just for being fair and Honest in reporting Mark, thats all, nothing against you
@Mark

I’ll agree to that much Mark.
Oh, bye the way, Wednesday’s numbers are posted
@Ratboy
whats this I hear about you eating worms?
@Steve
I was making a blanket statement that it’s ironically funny that Fox news is the one who is complaining about editing up video
I’m going to Wednesday theres worms all over the Floor
Coffee Steve – We have to admit it dude, MSNBC is doing good for a few days
——————————-
I never said they wasn’t. I even posted the link saying the beat FN. The lefties have every right to crow about it as well. No complaints from me.
@Mark
They also got caught using a three year old picture that Drudge used, and Yep, I think even though they gave a I’m sorry, it doesn’t make it right
@Hillbilly
No complaints from me.
Me either, I’m happy for them to be able to rejoice a few days
Suikostinger – BTW, I can gaurantee you that the only reason that BO went from 47% to 40% is so people like you can be like “he didn’t agree with him!!!”
———————————–
I don’t watch (the whole show) Bill O. I don’t care if he agrees or disagrees with anybody/anything. I knew you was wrong just from reading Bobbyv’s comment.
I went to his site looking for a clip to prove you wrong AGAIN. He made the statement at the BEGINNING of the show. You kept trying to spin your way out of what you said by saying something like – “only hinted it was smaller after being smacked around by his guest.” So you once again opened your mouth & inserted your foot.
