If you invite a guest over and ask him a question, are you rude to talk over him as he answers?

[Stinky The Clown]

If that's rude, then this asshat is the King of rude:

[acmavm]

1. He may be rude but give him credit, he impersonates a journalist

adequately enough to fool millions of people with below average IQs.

edit: Bad grammer to the point of embarrassment.

[Cabcere]

2. I really thought

that this thread was going to be about Bill O'Reilly. :puke: He does it a lot, too.

3. My wife says I do that

but I'm gonna try real hard to stop if it reminds people of that POS.

4. my husband does that as well "It's not always all about you hon" and he usually says

"I know--but it should be."
;-)

5. Not in New York. Elsewhere, however...

[stray cat]

6. only if you are giving him a platform in front of millions

and he/she pontificates instead of addressing the question that was asked.

7. Yes. It's rude.

It took me years to figure that out, however, since I grew up in a family where everyone talked over everyone else all the time, and could effortlessly maintain three or four conversational threads at once.

It wasn't until I grew up and had a chance to experience other families, not to mention various group interactions among adults, and realized that *I* was the rude one, that I sorted things out.

I'm much better, now. I hope.

embarrassedly,

8. Knew it had to be tweety before opening the thread.

It is, was, and always be about tweety and his man obsession.
If it is male or republicker, and especially when it's both, tweety gets this little warm, tickly sensation running his be-front that impels him to gush uncontrollably, running over anybody and everybody to prove how wise and pithy he is.

His "Pick me! Pick me!" rudeness is so pathetic. That whole line of questioning, last night, was just more of the same.

Definitely not someone I'd invite over for dinner.

9. I always wonder why he even has guests...he does not care what they have to say..
