Candy Crowley: ‘I’m not a fly on the wall’

The town-hall debate is the one presidential faceoff in which the audience gets to ask the questions.

But don’t tell that to moderator Candy Crowley.

Like any journalist worthy of the assignment, Crowley concedes that the debate on Tuesday night isn’t about her, but she just as eagerly acknowledges her role in it.

[US Navy Vet]

She's right, she is a PIG IN A PEN!

[Salamander]

I think of her more as what precedes an adult fly.

[Paladin2]

More like a Scorpion.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

"Once the table is kind of set by the town hall questioner, there is then time for me to say, ‘Hey, wait a second, what about x, y, z?’,” Crowley told CNN earlier this month.

LOL. "x, y and z" for Candy are mashed potatoes, gravy and apple pie.

[Fresh Wind]

No, she's a fly somewhere else...

[KarlInOhio]

Like any journalist worthy of the assignment, Crowley concedes that the debate on Tuesday night isn’t about her...

... it's about Obama winning by any means necessary (including biting off Romney's ear, but only if absolutely necessary).

[paddles]

No, Ms Candy, you’re a big tub of guts.

"Of course it's not about me! But enough about them, let's talk about me!"

[Belteshazzar]

No, she’s not.

I’ve never seen a 260 lb. fly.

[mikrofon]

All in all, you’re just another “bump in the road”....

[Gaffer]

No, she’s just a fat a$$ white rabid liberal that thinks because she has long hair like when she was young makes her more appealing. Underneath a black heart and black soul....

Anyone that has ever seen Talkback Live in person (an old CCN afternoon show) where “regular people” in the audience asked questions to the guest will recognize that this is neither a town hall or random in nature. CNN will specifically choose questions and tone to tell a story of their choosing. Candy Crowley is a strong partisan and the debate will be pure theater. Romney will need to overcome the bias that will attempt to slant the debate. I thought Ryan left a ton of meat on the table because he did not overcome the bias truncation of his answers and the repeated interruptions to his points very well. He should have come back to those points after the next questions and INSISTED that his points be made, not dismissed by others.

[JohnBrowdie]

the wall would collapse.

[Gaffer]

Funny....actually, I think of her as more of what the adult fly lands on and craves to emulsify (excrement).

[Da Coyote]

As a MSM reporteer, she’s lower than a fly on the wall.

She is what the fly likes to eat.

[Flycatcher]

I think of her more as what precedes an adult fly.

I think of her more as what a "preceding adult fly" eats...

[Average Al]

Looks like paint on a pumpkin! ;-)

[Salamander]

The great circle of life.....

[SIDENET]

Candy-Eater Crowley will do anything she can to help her Messiah.

Oh, and the "town hall" format is stupid. That is where Bill Clinton got his "boxers or briefs" question.
