Carville just said on Leno..............

[TheDebbieDee]

that people use political talkshows the way a drunk uses a lamppost; to prop themselves up on rather than to use as illumination.

He's sharp!

2. and yet...

,,,noone on this side of the fence would admit that of themselves. Just as teh other side wouldn't admit it.

3. Is he talking about Crossfire?

[Cleita]

5. I thought so too.

Sounds like he's apologizing for their lack of substance and the unflattering light Jon Stewart illuminated them with.

[TheDebbieDee]

7. He was talking about all talk/news shows in general...............

This was in response to Jay's remarks that the news is not the news anymore, it's infotainment

[Cleita]

10. Yes, in general but they are both referring to Crossfire

without saying it. Bad for the job you know. This subject wouldn't have come up at all if Jon hadn't told them how bad they were.

[Rose Siding]

9. I think he's talking about Mary

his wife

[xray s]
