David Shuster takes McCain spokeman Ben Porritt to task over Sarah Palin's lack of understanding on who the First Amendment is supposed to attack, and of course Porritt's response is to say he hasn't heard all of her response, then attack Obama and Biden and then the last retreat of a coward is to blame the media for playing a "gotcha game".

1. Finger pointing.

All they know.

[Quixote1818]

2. The guy was in-between a rock and a hard place. He did the best he could in a lose, lose

situation. Schuster was brilliant as usual.

[CLANG]

14. Looks like the same guy that lost badly last week.

As my 11th grade English teacher used to say,

"when you point the finger at someone, just remember that three fingers are pointing back at you." There's logic on a level Porritt might understand. . . but maybe not.

3. Poor Sarah.

Her 15 minutes are coming to an end.

4. I think I saw that yesterday......

Shuster kept asking about Palin's comment and he kept going after something else. And then Shuster kept saying...but that's not an answer to my question. And then the guy said he didn't know what Palin said and Shuster said 'you wanna hear it? I can play it again!'

It was good! I love Shuster!

[Caretha]

20. I wish Shuster had asked him

if he didn't hear it the first time, or if he had a hard time understanding the English language.

[tulsakatz]

23. that would have been an appropriate question........

he played the clip at the beginning and then the guy said he didn't know what she said. If he was telling the truth, he obviously had not been paying attention.....

[CitizenPatriot]

5. WOW! Shuster didn't take any BS from him

AND he explained the truth about the campaign bus. Amazing.

What is so hysterical is the McCain campaign whining about the Obama campaign cutting off access to the press. Really? They want to go there? Um, Sarah Palin has never done the Sunday AM shows. She has never given a press conference. She has only done 4 interviews, with hand picked journalists.

Honestly, these people are pathetic.

I knew it was going to go well from the way he kept swallowing and showing his adams's apple before the interview started. Sorry, Ben, but you knew you had nothing and your nerves revealed the truth, even while your mouth was lying.

[fascisthunter]

6. So... he couldn't defend her so he made shit up about the Obama Campaign

then he mentions a ficitious character called.... "Joe the Plumber". Somebody needs to tell these assholes on air that "Joe the Plumber" isn't even real.

[Muttocracy]

7. that spokesman looks like a frat boy who just rolled out of bed. nt

[Muttocracy]

8. awesome job, Shuster. nt

[qanda]

9. Shuster might be a good replacement for Tim Russert

He cuts straight through the bull on both sides. I think he's about the most fair and unyielding journalists I've seen during this political season.

[JBoy]

10. Shuster fucking hammered that pencil neck.

Now I don't need an appetizer for dinner. That was it!

[Tutonic]

11. Schuster was taking no prisoners on that day.

[Leftist Agitator]

12. Who the fuck is this inept, juvenile punk?

Christ, he can't be any older than 30, and his words and demeanor suggest that he is not highly educated, or particularly savvy, or in any other way qualified to act as McSame's "campaign spokesman".

Oh, I almost forgot. Knowledge and ability don't matter to Rightists, only one's blind, undying loyalty to the NSD... I mean "Republican" party.

:eyes:

A day and some change longer, and hacks like this fuckhead shall have to crawl back under those rocks from whence they came!

[babylonsister]

17. A friend from Palin's high school?

Nah, just another rethug drone doing a really bad job of quoting the party line, no brains required.

[MagicKenny]

13. I Just Saw The Visual Definition of "Bitch Slapping"

Now THAT was a heapin' helpin' of awesomeness!

[Bette Noir]

15. Republicans lie. It's what they do.

Good on Schuster, for not letting him get away with it.

I see that he's picking up Matthew's technique of interviewing: Keep interrupting, until the hack forgets what he was supposed to say, and accidentally blurts out the truth.

For the record, Palin has no idea what the First Amendment does, any more than she knows what the VP does.

[Cha]

16. Play Again, Sam!

Geeze where do they find these creepy guys to come out and distract from sarah palin's lies?

[1776Forever]

18. When David Shuster is on I am watching! Joe Scarborough is lousy compared to him all around!

I would love to see him on Meet the Press too! Go David!

[onlyadream]

19. Palin understands the 1st Amendment?

Maybe she understands it, but she sure doesn't believe in it - remember, she wanted to ban books from a public library. This is one reason why this woman scares me!

[LarryMarcarian]

21. Shuster is excellent

One of the best on MSNBC. Happy he rebounded after the Chelsea "pimping" line.

[quidam56]

22. How embarrassing !
