1. They Needed A Fact Check?

2. Apparently, a lot of people here thought old JD had it all over Rachel

in their interview. Comments were made like "Rachel should never take someone like JD on", that sort of thing.

However, I guess it is easy to fool people as if you are winning a debate when you are just lying.

3. While watching that interview with Hayworth,

I wanted to scream. I knew he was lying, so that didn't bother me. It was his Ronald Reagan imitation where he kept going "Rachel, Rachel there you go again." Like so many other Republicans, he thinks that if he acts like a condescending shit, it somehow or other alters reality.

4. Drove me nuts too

like his using key words to distract Rachel... Like "infrastructure" and "public option". over and over like he was trying to seduce her in a bar having known what words to say to get her excited.

Came across to me as a total sleazeball.

5. Neither my "mare" nor I ...

When talking about MA and marrying ones horse, I really liked when Rachel slipped that line in.

6. Hard to figure who I agree with....

Rachel .... or sleazy politician....? I think I'll go with Rachel.

Can't believe this is something that needs fact-checking! The guy's a politician. And his lips were moving. Case closed.
