I much prefer Ann Colter, she wants to hear the answer before she pounces. Just as devastaing but more courteous.

It's sort of the same mystery of why many women seek bad guys. I have no idea but do expect it to get much worse.

I believe a term limit should be enforced for all political offices. You can serve 2 terms and that's it.

Maybe it's the same psychological pathology but on a larger scale.

I'm from NYC and if this thing was struck and killed by lightening today, I would consider it wonderful news.

Rangel is the prototype of what is wrong with NYC, and this country. The f-ing prototype.

I don't like Mr. Rangel's politics either. But, the man tried to answer and Laura Ingraham never let him put more than 5 words together,
before she asked him another question. I counted 16 questions at 5 + minutes. She kept interrupting his answers with more questions.

I have no problems with tough questions, but have the courtesy to let someone answer. She is supposed to be a host.
It wasn't meant to be an interview, it was meant to be an opportunity for each of them to pander to their favored audiences:

1-for Laura, it was the chance to spank a low-life, sleazy far left criminal democratic congressman and get the right-wingers in OK and AZ cheering

2-for Charlie, it was a chance to get the far left, not-very-bright democratic supporters in harlem and other black/minority communities around the US who keep voting for dogshyte like him even though they know he's a crook because he is "one of them", a more polished Al Sharpton.

He had no reason to even appear on Fox news except to try and **** off the mostly right-wing audience, and get the "brothers" hooting and hollering back on 170th street in harlem or East NY, Bed Stuy or other mostly-black lousy neighborhood.

If you met the kind of people involve in the voting, you would get a pretty good idea.
