You do realize she said they were taking in teenagers, right?

Why are people are so freaking obsessed with parsing the word "raised" or about something Rollins said about which the so-called target, Sarah Palin, has said nothing.

Let's talk about more important issues like whether or not Bachmann gets money from the father-in-law's farm or whether it still gets subsidies or what the facts are because she told Wallace they don't get money from the farm (did she mean income of subsidies?) but the same day when Bob Schieffer prefaced a question by saying she gets farm subsidies, she didn't challenge the premise used to claim she'a a hypocrite. This is SUBSTANCE, that other stuff is silliness.

You never know? We may see the 23 foster children on the campaign trail?

[skinkinthegrass]

Where are Graham and McCsin?
Might actually be a good time to watch the shows.
We're taking the morning off.... (Lindsey promised a back rub)...

Who would've guess it? They're spending (a lot of) time together.
...in a (steamy / aberrant lifestyle friendly :) Turkish bath in NYC / NY State.

[skinkinthegrass]

thanks, for your analysis / insights of the FNC today. :)

Yeah I know she took in teenagers.

I don’t think it’s “silly” to point out that to keep saying she “raised” 23 children is a bit disengenuous. But hey, it doesn’t offend me. It’s a noble thing, not something I could do.

It just gives her critics something to harp on. This past week I read about five big articles complaining on her, saying she did not “raise” these children.

I also believe that if Nancy Pelosi were out and about and claiming she raised yea many children when many of them were with her less than a year, that we’d all be mocking the assertion.

it makes her vulnerable to the selfish word parsers.

I stick to my original observation.

[skinkinthegrass]

A far better question for Pelosi:
“Are you really a Corrupt, Unprincipled, Lying,
Treasonous Swine all on your own volition,
or is that just a part of the New Oath to the DNC?”

by golly, your right...that is a much better question.

I had emailed a list of questions to Wallace for MB, but it appears he did not ask them.

Did you ask him if HE was a flake?

[newzjunkey]

As others observed, Cain was third in the Des Moines Register Iowa poll at 10% behind the statistical tie for Romney (23%) & Bachmann (22%) and yet when reporting on CBS's "Face the Nation" Sunday Bob Schieffer said Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul "were next" with 7% and Pawlenty at 6%.

Cain was never mentioned.

Since Cain is mentioned in the actual Des Moines Register as "third" how does CBS explain away their graphic and on-air reporting?

Here's a screenshot from "Face The Nation" as shown at cbsnews.com (clicking will take you to the full show video, poll report at around 1:45 in).

I asked him why he only had a rep establishment panel, the same as Special Report, and why the Tea Party/Social Conservatives were only spoken of in the 3rd person?

So ya, was he a flake was implied

[rodguy911]

It's just a guess on my part but the Dems know that we are the only adults in the room and that sooner or later we will fix the problem so they really don't have to.

They will just wait until we have the numbers on our side, fix the problem, and then they can complain about us fixing it!

Sad day the way modern politics are run but that's how it is.

[rodguy911]

Long overdue! Can’t wait to see it.I envy your time to do such things. All I do is work to keep my head above water.

[rodguy911]

it was either Rush or Mark Levin that tore apart the DBM polls last week. The sampling is so biased the poll becomes basically meaningless.The people they survey bear no resemblance to truth.

[mikhailovich]

Perry, Giuliani and even TPaw have all been inconsequential blips in the polls. Palin is #1 or #2, with no close #3, whenever she is included now—and she hasn’t even declared. Any poll that doesn’t include her is of minimal, contingent value. And it has probably been designed for anti-Palin propaganda reasons.

Perry hasn't declared either. Americans, at-large, do not even know him yet. I'm afraid you're slicing the pie with a chainsaw.

[9YearLurker]

Huh?

[Road Warrior ‘04]

How about this coming Sunday, and possibly every Sunday, why don't we, en masse, email this question to Chris Wallace:

Mr. Wallace, are you a flake?

FNS@foxnews.com

[merryberry]

Will do, first thing Sunday morning...but when does he tape his show, maybe we should do it immediately before then to shake him up before he inquisitions the conservative guest??

[Road Warrior ‘04]

I know he’s on Fox & Friends every Friday previewing his upcoming show. So, it might not be a bad idea to start on Saturday or early Sunday morning. Should be a hoot!
