Gannonesque: Is Les Kinsolving the new Jeff Gannon?

[Ian David]

Les Kinsolving, has taken the mantle from Jimmy/Jeff. Why do some republicans think that Alito shouldn't be asked any tough questions at his hearing, especially Lindsey Graham? I know they need the apperance that the Democrats are mean, but it's a rather ridiculous theme. They are only looking for another crony rubber stamp and a way to manufacture a scandal when there isn't one. I wonder how many Press reporters complained of Tom Coburn's endless nonsense? Listen to Les ask this of Scotty:

1. Did you hear him ask yesterday if Scotty could think

of an "uglier" American than Ted Kennedy??

Kennedy needs to get on the horn with whatever organization he represents and call him out on that. Would Rove allow that kind of question go without responding?? I think we all know the answer to that.

2. thats par for the course for crazy ass Les but let me tell you one good

thing about him ok? He is always nice to Helen Thomas and more than once he's given McClellan shit and i mean real shit about how he treats her.

6. Well, his website does say this about him:

Les Kinsolving is the nation's un-labeled talk show host! Just when you think he's conservative, he's liberal. And just when you think he's liberal, he's in the center! From proud, vociferous patriot to opinionated social commentary to winsome, mischievous devil's advocate, Les keeps audiences on their listening toes!

:shrug:

7. i know what he's like, i've seen him at the briefing s for a long time

9. I was semi-agreeing with you based on his website info.

Seems he's just a curmudgeon who likes to make waves.

:hi:

10. HIS OWN website says that?

:rofl: You know, if he has to actually state that, then.... Fuhgedaboutit.

He's as "independent" as O'Liely. :rofl: More of that 'fair and balanced' manure Faux 'News' shovels around the airwaves.

3. Les is just a crackpot -

But it's kind of amazing that the Gannon/Guckert story remains untold - like who was he really doing in the White House?

4. Who is this guy

What paper does he work for. Sure sounds like a Gannonite plant

Also, if anyone cares, Kinsolving's Wikipedia article could use some work:

8. No Gannon was the new Les Kinsolving

Les had been around for a lot longer and throwing lifelines at WH press briefings since Bush came to power.
