You guys are kidding right? Rachel Maddow’s meltdown over the question on Romneycare from Gillespie and Maher was hilarious. My job is to cover the news, not to tell you if I like it or not???? That is her whole show! Seriously, you think she schooled everyone? The silence after that statement was incredible for a Bill Maher. Everyone really watched the show and thought her behavior was schooling people? I am very willing and able to look at both sides and I thought Maddow looked ridiculous but I thought Ruffalo actually got his point across very well.

This is the second time I’ve watched Gillespie’s act on Real Time and I find him hilarious. From the Marlon Brando “The Wild One” outfit to his non-stop pandering to the GOP he claims to disavow he is one seriously funny guy. Up against Rachel and Mark Ruffalo he is so far out of his league that it takes some of the joy out of watching him get his ass kicked. If “Cheers” ever gets remade, we have our Cliff Clavin.

Gillespie is from Reason TV. This information about Reason is from Sourcewatch www.sourcewatch.org/index...

The Reason Foundation is funded, in part, by what are known as the “Koch Family Foundations,”[3] and David Koch serves as a Reason trustee. [4]

Dr. Adrian Moore, Vice President of Public Policy of the Reason Foundation, is an Advisor to the American Legislative Exchange Council’s Commerce, Insurance & Economic Development Task Force.[6] Reason Foundation representatives have also advised ALEC Task Forces on issues such as state budgets [7], and health reform. [8]

The Reason Foundation’s Director of Government Affairs, Mike Flynn, was previously policy director for ALEC. [9]

William A. Dunn, chairman of the board; Dunn Capital Management; director of Cato Institute, Competitive Enterprise Institute, Property and Environment Research Center, etc

Also, if you go to www.muckety.com/Reason-Fo... you will see the direct relationship between Reason and the funders of other radical right wing organizations.

It isnt just political. The “boys” were trying to intimidate and drown out the “girl”. Well Rachel doesnt demure to men especially when they are spouting talking points rather than speaking for themselves.

I forgot about the first name of the operation when it began under Bush 43–Wide Receiver, so let add it to my previous post. “This operation has gone through so many name changes just to get to this point–sounds like a movie, but this stuff is real. It went from Wide-Receiver to Project Gunrunner to Project Gunwalker to Walking Gun-gate Scandal to Project Gunwalker Scandal to Fast and Furious…, So lets see, a wide receiver catches & runs with guns; a gunrunner runs with guns; a gunwalker walks with guns; OMG! Who would’ve thunk running & walking is bad for you? What a scandal–NOT!
