Have you ever had somebody try to sell you on something but the pitch goes on and on and on with a complicated explanation which is almost impossible to understand? If you were smart, you would walk away with your hand on your wallet.

Such was the case yesterday when Gene Sperling, Hillary Clinton's economic adviser, attempted to explain her economic policies on Bloomberg's With All Due Respect to hosts John Heilemann and Mark Halperin. His seemingly endless complex explanations seemed to frustrate the hosts until Heilemann asked Sperling to very briefly explain her economic policy. The result? Sperling went on another yet filibuster that did nothing to enlighten the hosts.

Leftys do this EVERYTIME THEY ARE ON TV WITH A MICROPHONE. My Leftist sister was visiting and asked, during a BOR interview with a Lefty, why is he interrupting her? I said that she wasn’t answering the question and she was just trying to fill up the time in the interview. No response from my Leftist sister.

If you don’t have the law, argue the facts. If you don’t have the facts, argue the law. If you don’t have anything, baffle ‘em with BS.

Dear WADR,
Ask RATs to do something, they do the opposite.
Love,
Hilldebeest.

P.S. If I get elected freedom of speech and freedom of the press go away.

If your job is to explain how higher taxes, heavier regulation, and fiat money bring prosperity, you have to spew a lot of B.S.
