I wish I hadn’t missed this. I agree, Glynnis, the programming had to be brilliant.

Each day we’re seeing multiple examples of the Leftist media going off the rails with apoplectic rage. This is good to see, because if we can’t have checks & balances in government then at least we can have it in media. That Obama desperately wishes he could ‘control’ the media (see above) tells you all we need to know about how things are going for our ‘new, young president.’ It’s about at this time in an administration when a ‘legacy’ is pretty much solidified. Obama clearly can’t be happy with how his is coming out.

“Charlie, aghast and eventually sort of infuriated.”

It seems that all the second rate news people are adopting the “Geraldo” style of news.

I think you would be surprised how most people think of Obama — I mean, the normal everyday people who see a calm, very intelligent man, who loves his family, and is genuinely trying to work with the Republican Party (to an excessive degree). I also think you would be surprised how most Americans view the Republican Party, let alone the Tea Party.

Chris – There are more examples simply because more tea-bag types are showing up on television. I think you are mistaking mind numbing disbelief for outrage. What is said is by teabaggers, like Armey, is often irrational and so over-the-top nuts that is very hard for most people to believe what they are hearing. I hope Armey didn’t mean what he said because if he did, that would make him bat sh@t crazy.

That’s right, TRFRK, it’s not like you have to watch a program to know its caliber.

With your history of claiming to have watched a program (to the point of dissing the participants for their mannerism) before it has aired, your prescience is just eerie….

And your evidence for this would be?

Most Americans recognize that Obama is playing a bad hand dealt him by his predecessor. Tea Partiers and Republicans don’t like talking about the ‘past,’ and they won’t hold the Republicans and Bush accountable, but the benchmark for disaster has already been set and it is the Bush Administration. Obama’s performance is far superior to anything the Republicans did in that period and, in reality, far superior to that record of the Republicans in the ’80s. Keep in mind, too, that history demonstrates market crashes occur in Republican periods of control, i.e., 1929, 1987, 2008. Americans are still in line with our president and recognize people like Armey to be the lunatic fringe.

Bill Adkins: “Americans are still in line with our president and recognize people like Armey to be the lunatic fringe.”

I’m sure that you are right. You sound like a man who really believes in himself. And I can tell from the numerous references to outside sources in your comment that you have thoroughly researched everything you wrote.

Nevertheless, if you don’t mind, I think I’ll wait until November before I reach any conclusion as to what the American people think about the present administration, or the Tea Party activists.

Hey…I thought I was wathchin’ “Let Charlie stroke your ego” w/Charlie Rose”! What happened? Looked like Charlie, sounded like Charlie, but what’s w/all the anger and spitting and sputtering and not letting the guest answer? I think he’s actually having bouts of acting like a “journalist”…he’ll get over it I’m sure

Rosey – Very high probability that the things you describe will happen when you take a risk and interview a tea-bagger.

Wait, why is Charlie Rose pretending that Dick Armey means anything he says, ever?

Glynnis: Not a good headline!

If you think this was Charlie losing his cool, you could use some anti-sensitivity training.

@Rosey: You’re wrong. Charlie has even talked over and voice amplified in voice when having an interview with Stephen Colbert. It was a fascinating interview, but Charlie gets into it often especially when guests don’t let him finish his thought.

@Glynnis: I agree with Ark Steve; Charlie was not losing his cool or “sort of infuriated”. I watched the whole interview, and it seemed to me as if Dick’s comment left Charlie more in disbelief than infuriated.

I’ve never seen Army reduced to such a babble in my life. It was fantastic. Rose should teach a course in how to be an effective political interviewer, not just someone who shuffles on to the next question.

Two important points in this clip.

One: There is a mistaken assumption that Charlie Rose has some cool to lose. He does not.

Two: Some people call ‘em as they see ‘em; Dick Armey calls them as they are.

It is so simple to me, instead of Charlie Rose repeating Dick Armey’s quote over and over he needed to “run down the list.” Take 5 – 10 high ranking official and ask him specifically about him/her. If he says yes then ask why.

Charlie Rose and most of those commenting here just don’t “get it”. The time will come when we entrust the conduct of our affairs to the men who understand that their first duty as public officials is to divest themselves of the power that they have been given. It will come when Americans, in hundreds of communities throughout the nation, decide to put the man in office who is pledged to enforce the Constitution and restore the Republic. Who will proclaim in a campaign speech: “I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them. It is not to inaugurate new programs, but to cancel the old ones that do violence to the Constitution, or that have failed in their purpose, or that impose on the people an unwarranted financial burden. I will not attempt to discover whether legislation is “needed” before I have first determined whether it is constitutionally permissible. And if I should later be attacked for neglecting my constituents’ “interests,” I shall reply that I was informed their main interest is liberty and that in that cause I am doing the very best I can. Our government (left and right) is corrupt to the core and has been for several decades.

The dakealo manifesto is a sad and cynical one.

This is wonderful of the best blogs in the field of teaching. If I don’t come in for a couple of days, there are so many stakes that it’ll bring me a couple of hrs just to go all over whatsoever I missed!! Praises.
