Another disappointing day in politics and media with many comments we consider disrespectful. Radio host Bill Press, a liberal, referred to a GOP nomination candidate as, “crazy Ron Paul.” Paul would not qualify as crazy by our reading of the dictionary.

Best Answer: It may have seemed that Newt Gingrich scored points tonight when he responded to Mitt Romney’s frequent comment that he’s not a career politician by saying that the only reason Romney’s not is that he lost the U.

This post originally included a reference to Ron Paul’s height. It was factually incorrect and included inappropriate speculation. We regret the errors. The participants were mostly respectful with the exception of Tim Pawlenty, who, in our opinion, was inappropriate in a comment about Michele Bachmann. We think Ron Paul sounded the best along with Bachmann. […]
Discussing Michele Bachmann’s claim that she can cut gas prices below $2 a gallon and whether her popularity has peaked early in the campaign, Press said, “She’s so crazy, right, that she makes Rick Perry look almost sane.” Asked tonight by MSNBC host Ed Schultz who is more dangerous for America, Perry or Bachmann, he […]
The Minnesota representative who won the Iowa Republican straw poll yesterday, said she voted against a debt ceiling increase because, for one thing, didn’t want Barack Obama to get “another2.4 trillion-dollar blank check.” During an appearance yesterday on Meet the Press, part of a morning of appearances on the tv talk shows, she told host […]
