He meant stop bringing the signs, as the lamestream use them against you. Not only did he mean that, he said it.

He's not wrong in that either ... anyone who has witnessed how the left portrays them should know this themselves. This is really getting ridiculous.

I appreciate your reply as well, and will add that I understand what you’re feeling about the vulgarity, how that would come across, yes, especially at that particular kind of event. Thank you for your further comment.

Louis CK is a vile comedian. He even says filthy things about his own little girl. What a swine.

Ah, okay then -- Bristol has every right not to acknowledge him by offering her hand; it is not rude whatever if she does not.

I don’t know who Louis CK is, but if he’s the other guest, neither he nor Bristol extended a hand to the other. He should’ve done it, or on second thought, perhaps it’s the purview of gentlemen.

Pre-PC days, a gentleman never imposes on a woman, it is her prerogative to acknowledge him. A handshake between the sexes is initiated by a woman, if they are good friends, she is the one who offers her cheek for the buss, he does not plant one on her of his own volition. The same rules apply for age, the older of the two, men or women, is the one who initiates the handshake, the one to whom the courtesy is directed.

I don't know how they're teaching it these days.

Real estate agents advise using neutral colors like beige when you're preparing the residence for occupancy by a new but unknown occupant. :-)

My immediate thought! I'm glad for once I actually read through a thread before posting my comment to it. ;)

Duly noted — it was the snide tone in refernce to myself that baited me into responding as I did. I assure you, it shall not happen again.

It's not only that she offered her resources and did the makeup job, it's how she did the makeup job. Check the tape, she dove into it like she was getting her husband or one of her kids ready for the camera. She didn't do this for the camera, either. THERE IS NOTHING PHONY ABOUT THIS WOMAN. She is very special.

I have some disfigurment myself, nothing at all like what Dave has (or has been through), I can tell you the one thing that I appreciate the most is when it is not noticed, people, family or strangers, treat me as regular ol' me. I don't know how many other TV appearances Dave may have made over the years, whether or not he has had to have some make-up artist apply to his face, I hope none ever had the *hesitation* hand when doing so -- but I've gotta tell you, for my part, that diving in and just going about getting him ready, that touched me, as did the taking off his ear, joking as I wrote above.

You are correct, this is a special woman regardless how things pan out in the future.

I had just made a post to the thread wherein another lib journo decries the Vanity Fair piece on Palin a lie when I heard Glenn describing how Todd Palin offered their home for the link to allow Dave to be on the taped show, and then as Glenn is watching the pre-show feed and sees a beautiful make-up artist working on Dave, he is astounded to discover it is Sarah herself! I had thought to come back to that thread and say, "Yeah, she really IS some kind of diva, right?" with the sarcasm tag and all ... the business of *demanding* bent straws and whatever else these people with PDS can come up with, truly ridiculousness at its highest level.

I thought it sweet and funny when Glenn said as she's doing Dave, he's taking off his ear and joking with her -- that was just something, I'm glad Beck described that little bit to us.

On this one how can we “tell for certain that (your) interpretation is correct and that (we) truly have no reason to infer” Beck was pushing unBiblical mormon beliefs onto us ???

Since other people are reading this, I will actually post a reply to your constantly nasty and sarcastic self -- as one who purports to be of some kind of Christian belief, you surely do not demonstrate it in any way, shape or form on these threads.

My simple answe to you is that BECK is not the one offering the prayer with the mispronunciantion you and the rest seem to think you hear. I repeat again, only listen to how another word with a "d" ending is heard with his manner of preaching and the microphone.

Last reply you EVER get from me, regardless. I hope other FReepers will understand and recognize why.

He often speaks of the US Constitution as if it were divinely inspired and the Founding Fathers as if they were prophets from God.

You completely misinterpret what Glenn expounds on -- when Jefferson wrote "And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor" did you think he meant that it was all happenstance or that those men came up with their ideas and ideals all by themselves?

He sets himself up as a “religious leader”, not I.

No, he sets himself up as acknowledging he has a public platform, a microphone and uses it to ask people of all faiths to return to God in order to save our country. He is not a leader, he is not asking anyone to follow him. He is not telling people to ask that God be on their side, he is in fact begging people to be on God's side.

What really concerns me is a “religious” comedian he had on his show tonight who was making jokes about scaring kids and watching them “Pee themselves” or some other equally charming phrase. Yeah, I get that it was supposed to be funny. It wasn’t. It was disgusting. And even though I’m just starting to peek at Glenn, I was somehow mortified to see him smiling at it.

As one who suffers from disfigurment that has caused fright from children myself, I can tell you that this was the man's method of mocking HIMSELF. He does not truly scare them at all, he's joking about how it feels to have a small child look upon your physical self and exhibit horror ... the first time it happens, you are hurt and scared your own self. I can assure you Dave does NOT say "Boo!" and send children off running when they look at him in fear. Glenn and the rest of those in attendence that night knew full well what was going on, I'm very sorry you could not comprehend this from the little bit you saw -- perhaps you missed the detail on just who Dave is and how his visage came to be the way it is today.

"noticed the opening prayer being posed to 'gods'? Watching the taped replay it is much more obvious"

That is not what I heard and I have replayed and replayed.

People are getting all bent out of shape for no reason whatsover. An earlier thread implied that it was GLENN who was offering prayer to gods when in fact the prayer is offered by Pastor Paul Jayle (sp?), the direct descendent of those who came over on the Mayflower.

What people are hearing and misinterpreting as gods is no more than the mic and the manner the man speaks, preaches. Please, folks, try listening to this with an objective and not the suspicious ear, the man is calling to God each and every time he says His name, it is simply slurring and the mic emphasizing it. It sounds much more like Godtz than gods, it stretches out in a couple of spots. You can tell for certain that my interpretation is correct and that you truly have no reason to infer or believe the man was praying to gods if you only listen to how he pronounces "the shedding of innocent bloodtz" -- the "d" ending pronounced in exactly the same manner as the "d" ending of God. Relax here, I really cannot ask it any more strenuously please.

I gather Kelsey never watched or learned the lesson of the Mary and Rhoda daughters' movie.

There was a Mary and Rhoda's daughters movie??

It's not looking good for Vanity Fair when CNN's Peter Hamby has joined liberals such as Ben Smith, Dave Weigel, race-baiter Charles Blow, and Kirsten Powers in denouncing the Vanity Fair hit piece.,

I find it very telling that these journos are not only resisting playing along but are taking their lefty colleagues, this time VF, to task. Good for them.

It was comical to see her break into the solid news reports to deliver a touchy-feely segment.

I was LOL at the first time early on she came out from behind the anchor desk to do a live interview situated in such a way as to totally exploit her legs and high heels, as though that's why men would be tuned in to watch, not any desire for hard news! I think that bit last twice more, after that any interview was conducted the usual way.

Glen said that the only reason he wore the vest was because his wife wanted it. He put his trust in God.

THANK YOU. It is getting to the point that I have to wonder if anyone here other than a handful ever even listen to the man, so much ignorant opining going on.

Hang on ... this issue raises questions about Sestak's honesty? I'm still waiting for someone to ask him about the fact that Billy Jeff says he did NOT call up Joe and offer him a White House advisory slot if he would drop out of the Senate race as Joe emphatically stated on the steps of the House of Representatives.

Biden and Gibbs are rivaling Laurel and Hardy as comedians.

I do not have the talent or software to do it but I'd love for one of the FReeper geniuses to put their faces on this one.

Frankly I was a mite surprised at the thread title, thinking I was going to be reading about how hot she found Romney, a crush-obession ... surprised at that because she strikes me as not playing on that *team*.

After stashing several of them in a car trunk, McCain was confronted by a passer-by – and later plotted with her mother's hairstylist to take the fall if local authorities pursued the matter.

Really, really illegal, and just as when Billy Jeff conspired with Monica, admitted by his own Impeachment lawyer, the breathy Cheryl Mills that they agreed if they were ever asked, officially or otherwise, they would lie and say they'd never spoken (hence the gifts under Curry's bed), here is little McCain conspiring with her mother's hairdresser to commit perjury as well. Lovely.

Considering skirting the law afterward -- did the apple fall far from the tree?
