Rick Perry's columns must really be aching by now.

Sock Ruh Tease: Rick Perry's Mitt Romney's columns must really be aching by now.

FTFM

VictoryCabal: George Will can't recuse himself. Where else would we get crabby old-man columns biatching about people wearing jeans?
Andy Rooney.
Oh, wait. Never mind.

Came to say this as well.

"Columnist and media pundit George Will can continue to cover the 2012 election despite the fact it has been revealed that wife Mari Maseng is advising contender Rick Perry after getting turned down for a position with Mitt Romney's organization. "

And what is she advising him to do? "Next time, tell the press you want to get rid of only two Federal Agencies."

His campaign is dead in the water anyways.

Ethics are for Little People. George Fwill is Important.

LIGAFF: George Will helped Ronald Reagan prepare for his debates with Jimmy Carter. He did not disclose this and continued to appear on television and write columns about the election, supporting Reagan.

Why should he change now?

The NYTimes, WaPo, ABCCBSCNNMSNBCNBCNPRPBS, LATimes, Chicago Trib, etc and et al ALL support Obama so what's your point?

That ONE commentator somehow skewed the nation into electing Reagan?
Well, one commentator didn't but every news outlet listed above was and is in the tank for Obama so your argument is invalid.

And rather simplistic.

Are people really going to pretend to care about this? Does this matter?

Wait until Will finds out that Perry sometimes wears blue jeans.

Before he went to this baseball game, George Will stood in front of a mirror and said to himself "I'm wearing this."

Perhaps he likes to "horse around" in locker rooms?

George Will used to make so much sense. I just... I don't understand it. In the 90s he made me believe I was a fiscal conservative. Now he just seems like a troll. I can't understand how it happened. Did he change or did I?

Has-been columnist joins doomed campaign? Nope, not exactly of any concern.

TheDumbBlonde: George Will is a god. Your argument is invalid.

He wears a bow tie. Your argument is invalid.

Flesh. Slapping.

There is no double standard here.

A News Anchor is a type of reporter, whose job it is to avoid disclosing their own opinion. A Columnist is a completely different position whose job is to write and speak their opinions.

Now if you want to complain about Connie Chung, you might have a point.

I thought it was interesting that I read the headline and thought this was going to be a liberal vs. conservative article. But our female author managed to throw me for a curve and made it a man vs. woman article. Nice move.

Screw the politics of it all.... the article focues on "a woman quit for her man, why won't a man quit for her woman'" or some such nonsense.

Pick a topic and stick with it. Both are superfluous since no one really cares, but you really should write TWO articles (that no one will read) on TWO different points of view/appoaches to this OMGWTFBBQ non-story.


/I could do all this shiat in my moms basement half-drunk.

Came here to say that.

George Will is supposed to write columns where he gives his opinions about various subjects.

Michele Norris is supposed to report the news about various subjects.

Will = Opinions
Norris = News

Know the difference.

BobNesta420: I thought it was interesting that I read the headline and thought this was going to be a liberal vs. conservative article. But our female author managed to throw me for a curve and made it a man vs. woman article. Nice move.

I think it's ridiculous that she has to quit because her husband has a public opinion about Obama. On the other hand, I think she should have been fired long ago for insisting on a retarded pronunciation of her name.

What is it about this joyless, frowning, bow-tie wearing, pedant that makes me want to hit him every time he opens his mouth and utters opinions that no one is interested in?

The man's a relic from the Reagan 80s. His is the world of Murphy Brown, the Laffer Curve, and Dan Quayleisms. Bloom County's already been cancelled George. David Brinkely's no longer around to save your ass.

One is a columnist paid for his opinion.

The other is a supposedly unbiased journalist paid for her objectivity.

We're supposed to be outraged that there's a different standard applied to two different positions?

SmitetheRighteous: Bloom County's already been cancelled George.

I wish Berkley Breathed brought back Bloom County. There is so much fodder these days for a resurrection of Bloom County it's making comedians, cartoonists, journalists, and just about anyone willing to poke fun at the stupids, giddy with glee because they're guaranteed punch-lines.

Exactly. I won't mEEss the way she chose to emphasEEze her nEEme.

There is no political hate like intra-party hate. Whether it's Dems slicing each other to bits in a New Jersey Senatorial campaign or Republicans decimating themselves in a Congressional election, few political theaters compare to primaries where the winner is (almost) guaranteed to win the election. So if G F Will wants to berate Romney in his columns and his employer is ok with that, so be it. Heck, he works for a fairly liberal media outlet, if he's bashing Republicans he might have *increased* his job security. I respect the NPR journalist for stepping down but then I stopped listening to their news programs long ago, the one where I used to live was openly biased and made CNN look like a periodical from Liberty University.
