Ryan gets heckled and jeered at fair.

I'll give Ryan one thing, at least he stepped out in front of a crowd that wasn't carefully selected and screened by the Ryan/Romney campaign handlers. Unlike Romney who is such a chickshit that he, lately, won't put himself in any situation where people would boo his sorry ass or ask a hard question that wasn't carefully crafted by his staff.

I agree that heckling is boorish behaviour but people who can't get anywhere near this guy (Romney) to ask any questions of him are feeling shut out of the process. We are seeing frustration on the part of voters in this Jay. I don't see hard questions tossed from the audience at a candidate as heckling when this guy (Romney) won't even sit down with the corporate controlled, lamestream press corp and answer questions. Heaven forbid that Romney or Ryan sit down with a highly respected journalist say from PBS.

He has been the co-anchor and then anchor of NPR's evening news for damn near 40 years and you just heard of him today? He has also moderated quite a few presidential debates over the years. I guess you missed those. Football nights?

And that's the level of well-rounded political exposure (none) to be found in your typical, sphincter-quiveringly fearful, chickenhawk right winger.

>35 years.

I can't recall the last time I was so embarrassed for someone...

Can I get a face palm smiley?

OMG,

You mean to tell me it isn't just leftwing nutcases who make asses of themselves? I thought all Repubicans were highly moral, deep thinking and upstanding citizens? Man, is my bubble burst.

He was stoned through most of those years. Remember all the stories about the doper days?
