What TV commentator has made similar comments to or about FLOTUS or her children?

Amazing. I saw the interview, too, and it wasn't Matthews who looked "dazzed." Bachmann looked like a zombie or maybe she was already drunk by the time the interview took place. Who knows? She certainly appeared to be "in another world"........glassy eyes, staring straight into the camera, and repeating her talking points and totally ignoring the questions he asked her. LOL She was a hoot! I LMAO at her "dazzed" and confused appearance.

What a MAN!
Well, she did look weird. Really. The woman was standing there, very stiff, staring straight into the camera with glassy eyes, with anything but natural composure. I've seen her before on TV. She didn't look like she did tonight. It's not like Matthews said she was "ugly." He asked her if she had been hypnotized because the woman behaved strangely and did not respond to the questions she was asked. She was behaving in a very strange manner and she frankly looked like she was in an altered state.

Openly mocking a candidate and her constituency is what passes for credible journalism with you people?

Bachman took the high road and didn't play into Mattews taunts while Olberman giggled like a school girl in the background.

And yes Maddow, the public has caught on to the fact that NBC and MSNBC are in the tank for the Dem's.

So evident is their disdain (and disappointment in the huge sweeping loss) that they cannot contain themselves. They're crying their eyes out right now. The Republicans have taken the House and gained a hefty number of seats in the Senate.


Goodbye Demoncrat majority!!

Your arguments are lacking consistency. First, I thought it was fairly obvious, but maybe not to you, that you do not encompass the liberal world. I was talking a tone and events that exist in the world of liberalism, and I backed it up. Simply because you do not watch Letterman is irrelevant. I am sure you have heard of this media powerhouse known as David Letterman, yeah? He is a well known liberal, powerful in the media, so my example works. Because you mention you do not watch him does nothing but avoid the facts, as is ironic given your chosen name. You also have yet to answer the question: What about the fact that many liberals have made fun of Sarah Palin's appearance. YOu condemn it when it happens to Mrs Obama, so is it not morally and logically consistent to also condemn it when it happens to Mrs Palin? You didn't asnwer that, maybe now you will.

As to the issue of put downs of Mrs Obama's appearance, they are morally wrong. I never denied that, and that wasn't the question. Please try and pay attention and not put words in someone's mouth. YOu keep losing here for a reason.

I'm not a fan of hers, but I thought it was pretty clear that she could only hear bits and pieces of what he was saying through the crowd noise. Hence the somewhat strange answers.

OT - I know Minnesota has many lakes. I wonder if she has spent any time at China Lake?
You're a moderator? expressing liberal beliefs? I knew the mods here were liberal!

This post won't see the light of day, and I'm sure my others will be scrubbed.

Hey, did you miss this part of my post?

Its sad and uncalled for. Liberals have some explaining to do for any and all attacks on her family, just like any and all attacks on a Democrats family.
