The on-air orgasm that Schieffer is having on the CBS news tonight is beyond belief....

"The RISING STAR Paul Ryan.....right wing talking point soundbites. Bits of the puff piece interview.

How transparent - the MSM is just salivating....they want RomneyRyan to win so, so, so bad.......

Between now and November is going to be thoroughly disgusting on the TeeVee! And thanks to Newsjock (first response) for bringing up my major MSM thorn...false equivalence! On full display again tonight!

To take the lie about Obama cutting $700b from Medicare and rebutting it only with "the Obama campaign says ..." -- instead of calling it the LIE that it is -- is false-equivalency "journalism" at its worst.

It is pretty (messed) up.

I mean, the Ryan plan has had that on the books since 2008. And they plan on straight up giving that money away as tax subsidies instead of trying to get people covered by health insurance.

Just Austerity and Tax-cuts all over the GOP.
Bread, Circus and using substandard metals to line our water wells.
