In what surely was one of the weirdest incidents in a presidential debate, CNN’s Candy Crowley egregiously sided with President Obama on his false remarks on Libya, was repeatedly and decisively fact-checked post-debate as wrong (somewhere between “mostly wrong” and “pants on fire” in my book) and then backed away from her own incorrect assertion. As was the case in the vice presidential debate, the biggest story may be the after-the-debate tumult over White House misrepresentations on Libya.

It was not wierd. It was planned and executed.
Candy Creepy Crawley was a fat disgrace! Where did the RATs dig up this troll?
Obama may have thrown more punches, but Romney was more persuasive and is sympathetic. Even untrained observers felt that he was being unfairly attacked by Obama/Candy.
Romney is now winning the post debate fact checking. I don’t think this debate will give either candidate a big boost, but I do see Romney continuing to pull away with it.
In the WaPo?........Random act of journalism...........
“Please proceed, Governor.”
To the White House!
What Crowley did was unconscionable. She has done her first AND last debate................
Crowley is what Halloween is all about.
Jennifer, he couldn't move in for the kill because Candy cut him off. That's the whole point. Crowley jumped on the live grenade to save Obama.
But what Romney forfeited on debating points remains a gnawing, deepening problem for the president.
Again, Romney didn't forfeit the point it was STOLEN from him.
Nope. It's hidden away in the "Opinion" section.
IIRC, Rubin is the token conservative.
They thought they had a slam dunk. Too bad they didn’t fact check their talking points before they spewed them.
What I want to hear is that the Republican Party will never again submit itself to this level of corruption and perversion of the political process. It happens every single time. Enough is enough. And when did Regis Philbin become Chairman of the GOP—I thought he retired.
Even the NFL knows that amateur refs don’t get the job done.
Obama did much better in this debate. You would too if you had a 350 pound blocker running defense for you.
Maybe we need to start Licensing and Registering Official Journalists, after all they are receiving Special Privileges, unless of course you think any citizen can get an Official Press Pass and be present in events like this.
I’ve no sympathy with the Republicans. They appoint people to the Presidential Debate commission who are RINO’s and agree to moderators who are flaming liberals and then expect impartial treatment. Stop bringing a knife to a gunfight.
Well don’t cha know?
Last night was her audition/interview as WH press sec. in case zero gets elected again(God forbid).
