1. Chris, Roger would like a word with you

[BeyondGeography]

2. "This works better if I get to ask the question."

I'm not impressed with Davis. Saying this election "is not about the issues" was a major gaffe that we'll be able to milk for the next two months.

[bjobotts]

25. Rick Davis just twists and lies and hen rants with bumper sticker slogans.

Wallace didn't get to interrupt with his follow up remarks because Davis knew Wallace was right and so wouldn't let him talk. Davis knows Wallace has only so much time to ask questions.

[Rilgin]

31. Lies

I think Republicans dont mind lying like Democrats mind lying. Republicans cheered Ollie North when he consciously lied to Congress.

More important and more humorous is the recent Cindy McCain Video at the Republican Convention. In the middle it mentioned that when John met Cindy he was 43 and told her he was 37 and she was 23 and told him that she was 27. In other words, they are introducing themselves to the American Public by telling us that the first thing they did when they met each other was LIE to get something they wanted. Humourous but true.

3. Damn, that almost approximated actual journalism

Is Chris Wallace feeling ok?

[Dollface]

12. Maybe he is trying to stop being an embarrassment to his family.

4. Grants are NOT earmarks. Davis either knows that or he should

Grants are budgeted and encumbered. The money is allocated then as spent reported back to the the grant administrating department-sometimes this is done via drawdowns after spending but it is basically the same thing. These are tracked and are a apart of regular reporting by the administering department.

Earmarks are one time spending approvals that are not tracked or reported. They are a check and there is no accountability on them.

[wtmusic]

10. Thanks for the distinction.

:thumbsup:

[underpants]

19. Earmarks are payoffs/syphening off of funds

and from what I have read you have to be an expert to find them in a lot of bills.

[pedo]

5. i like how the republicans are campaigning against their own party

thats what they're doing when they use the words "reformer" and "maverick" repeatedly

pretty desperate and pathetic

[Bette Noir]

22. "Maverick" is too complimentary.

How about we substitute the synonym, "loose cannon," whenever the MSM calls McCain a "maverick"?

[Juan_de_la_Dem]

6. Maybe Wallace is upset over the media blackout of Palin

[krkaufman]

8. Especially when Fox gets snubbed, too. There's probably been a longstanding agreement ...

... that Fox gets ready access to Republicans.

[librechik]

7. "Those grants were requested by the Republican Establishment, which she fought against "

and now has gleefully married. It's so romantic!

oh, and BTW, "Republicans are evil and need to be fought!" He said it right there!

[mwb970]

9. "Actually, you're a lying sack of crap, but let's move on to something else."

Two cheers for Chris Wallace.

[gateley]

11. Why aren't the interviewers on MSNBC and CNN taking this tact?

I'm IMPRESSED by Chris Wallace here! Maybe HE is being fair and balanced!

[debbierlus]

17. MSNBC has Olbermann & Maddow & McCain refused to go on CNN

Because they dared to ask one specific order that Palin issued as head of the Alaska National Guard...

The media isn't cow-towing to them, and don't be surprised.

[Frisbee]

13. I love it when...

a republican goes on faux expecting to be lobbed a bunch of softballs, and instead is blindsided by real questions that they don't have a good answer for, and follow-up questions on their lies. Doesn't happen often enough, but it is sweet when it does.

[Clovis Sangrail]

14. so is McCain going to refuse to go on Fox now? /nt

[debbierlus]

15. This means the corporations WANT a Obama win - the Republicans have gone to far

This isn't about us. This about the corporations deciding that the Republican incompetence is dangerous for THEM. Things are SO bad, it is threatening their business. Obama is not really very far left. He actually goes to far to the center (think Clinton- the best Republican President we ever had).

This bodes well for an Obama win.

[ticapnews]

16. "We've secretly replaced Chris Wallace with his father...let's see if anyone notices..."

So, who will be hosting this show next week? Surely they can't let this hack back on the air after dismantling McSame's campaign manager.

[ticapnews]

18. There is something far more important in what Rick says...

Notice how when Alaska votes for money "they" ask - meaning the legislature.
But "she passed" reform bills - not the legislature.

When anything bad happens, it's someone else's fault - the legislature, the city council, the voters in the small town...
When anything good happens, it was all her doing.

The buck stops...somewhere over there....

[Bette Noir]

20. He lies so badly that even Chris Wallace can confront him?

Youch.

[AlbertCat]

21. Is it me....

....or does Alaska sound like a horrible place? I mean, it's nice to visit and see some glaciers and a whale or two....but if repugs are in charge neither of those things will be around much longer.

Alaska is like those big empty "red" states out west( uh....I guess it IS, but I meant like KS or WY), who get huge Government handouts paid for by the populated "blue" states.... then they vote for Repugs against their own self interest. All that religion just makes you ig'nunt, don't it?

And McCain's campaign is the dumbest! Their ads are useless and full of lies, their picks are crazy (who's gonna be their Sec of State? Dr. Laura?), their convention was like a funeral.... they suck!

[trthnd4jstc]

23. Chris Wallace actually sounded like a reporter. Strange.

Isn't his job mostly to suckle on the Republican Teat and Trounce on Liberals?

[Heather MC]

24. ha ha ha ha "This works better if you let me finish the question"

Chris Wallace is a trip!

[SeattleGirl]

26. God, but these people lie, lie, lie, lie, LIE!!! All the time, 24/7.

They wouldn't know the truth if it bit them in the ass.

At least Wallace did a half-way decent job for once.

[Tutonic]

27. This lady is in a heapin mess of trouble when she gets interviewed.

Under no scenario can she win. They will need to keep her locked away through November 4th.

[Maestro]

28. Well Chris will probably never redeem himself

after the last 8 years, but this was nice to see. Davis looked like an idiot and a bit surprised by Wallace's questioning.

[Krashkopf]

29. WOW! I just realized that he is Mike Wallace's son!

That's the first time I've ever seen the similarity!

[stlsaxman]

30. Expect Hume to be in Wallace's position starting next week.

Chris is SO fired.

[Beaverhausen]

32. WOW! Looks like the real Chris Wallace was replaced by a pod person

what was that???? Real questions from Fox Noise?

[Number23]

33. Would really like to see more of that interview

Chris is doing a great job there.
