CNN's Candy Crowley embraces the 'optics' of her role in Tuesday's presidential debate

No where does she talk about a commitment to fairness or objectivity. The qestion selections and follow-ups will all favor O. “Where’s the specifics of your tax plan, Gov. Romney.” Meanwhile, she’ll let O skate on his record of failure and complete lack of any plan to grow the economy

Candy Crowley?? What’s the matter...was Bill Ayers unavailable?

[bigbob]

Wide angle optics...

“I nominate Rush Limbaugh.”

Seconded. And when the libs fail to show up, Romney can debate an empty chair.

[Anima Mundi]

I was thinking the same thing. This is not at all new to have a woman moderating a debate. I bet they were applauding that a not so pretty woman would be allowed to have center stage for so long.

So I guess it's her taste that's in question then.

Indeed! It is the Mary Matalin paradox.

[lwoodham]

Even Colmes has better taste than that. His wife is actually attractive and quite an accomplished brain.

WOW!! I didn't know that Colmes was married to a Republican. (no Dems are hotties like this) I don't know how she can stand him, which calls into question just how much brain she has. He reminds me of a mule eating saw briars.

"I nominate Rush Limbaugh."

Rush would be good, but my personal pick would be Mark Levin.

For the next two debates, even....

Perhaps the RNC was diabolically clever in allowing these Leftist losers moderate the faux “debates.” Or they were just typically stupid. Take your pick.

Typically stupid.

[dynachrome]

“quite an accomplished brain.”

Not if she married colmes.

How is that corpse get HER to marry him????

Dr. Jocelyn Crowley is sister to Monica Crowley, almost always paired with the obnoxious Alan Colmes on the Bill O'Reilly show. Jocelyn is married to Colmes.

Therefore, Monica Crowley is Colmes' sister-in-law.

Must be a fun time at Thanksgiving dinners.

BTW, in my humble opinion, Monica Crowley is the most informed, most quick-witted, most gutsy and most articulate conservative counter-puncher on TV as well as being very attractive.

Well, Monica, as they say, you can pick your pew, but you can't pick your relatives.

These “debates” are not debates at all, and the idea that a) they have some kind of official status and b) that they should be run by Leftists is absurd.

[oblomov]

She renamed herself Candy after her favorite food.

[FreeAtlanta]

I am sick of all the moderators being unmoderate leftist shills.

If the left insists on doing this, then the right should insist on having Rush Limbaugh or Mark Levin moderate a debate. That would be great entertainment!

[Paine in the Neck]

Will she have any questions about the Mooch’s calorie nazi policies?

[deedeedog]

Why does the commision never appoints a Republican to moderate the debates. Obamas went to (Democrat) moderators Raddatz wedding. I'd call that a conflict of interest. A big no no! Raddatz was rude, wouldn't let Ryan finish speaking, cut him off least 10 times, went to Biden whom she gave ample time. Did anyone notice that on the next to the last question that was asked Biden, he rattled the answers right off and cross them off on his paper one by one like he have been given the question before the debate.
