Did you know Tiny Tim made some very favorable comments about Jesus? I doubt the new age TM pacticing Crowing Candy would do the same.

Whitaker is as sleasy as Crowley. last night in trying to explain herself after the debate she conveniently mosquoted Obama as having referenced “These acts of terror...”, and now Whitacker tries to pretend that Obama’s claim at the debate was simply that he had referenced “an act or acts of terror”, rather than so identifying Benghazi.

Slimy.

[SERKIT]

Yes. And you are right.

Every time I hear Candy Crowley mentioned I immediately think of Miss Piggy or a predatory fat porn star.

She failed in the most fundamental job of time-keeping.

On why Obama got more time to speak, it should be noted that Candy and her commission producers tried to keep it even but that Obama went on longer largely because he speaks more slowly. We're going to do a word count to see whether, as in Denver, Romney actually got more words in even if he talked for a shorter period of time.

A word count !?!?! Are they going to count all the Umm's and Ahh's as words.

One of the peeps in the Frank Luntz focus group said it best "If you ask Obama the time of day you would get 'Partly cloudy with a 30% chance of rain"

The most telling event during debate # 2 was when Candy Crowley said she leaped “instinctively” to defend Obama’s position on the terrorist attack in Benghazi on Sept 11, 2012.

Since when does an “impartial”, “professional”, “reporter” leap to anyone’s defense “instinctively”?

Wonder if CNN will replay that little bit of “telling truth to power”?
