LOL - Krauthammer on Faux: "Mighty Casey — and Bill Clinton is a natural — struck out on this."

Even many Republican had to admit on Wednesday that former President Bill Clinton knocked it out the park with his rousing endorsement of Barack Obama at the Democratic National Convention, but conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer clearly wasn’t feeling the love.

“I think it was a giant swing and a miss,” Krauthammer told Fox News anchor Brett Baier. “Mighty Casey — and Bill Clinton is a natural — struck out on this. I don’t think it will move the needle whatsoever.”

“It was vintage Clinton in that it was sprawling, undisciplined and truly self-indulgent,” he continued. “This is one of the strangest nomination speeches, I think, ever given. … I think it was a wasted opportunity of what could have been a great, stirring, rousing endorsement of Obama.”

Most of Krauthammer’s conservative peers, however, did not share his impression of the former president’s 49-minute speech.

The ball is still in orbit, Charlie.

Everything he stands for was eviscerated by the Big Dawg last night, and that sorry excuse for a human being knows it.

And he's another one of those lame GOP pundits (like Bill Kristol and Dick Morris) who's never right about anything.

Suck on it, Charlie. Bill kicked GOPer ass all the way to the moon, and you know it.

I mean, after a while, a newspaper editor has to say to himself, "This fucker is wrong all the time. What does that do to the credibility of my newspaper?"

Of course, maybe newspapers don't even matter anymore.

Saying that, I am looking forward to whatever dreck Krauthammer spews out for Sunday. It's certain to compete with Lyin' Paul Ryan for abject dishonesty.

Sour grapes, much? You are still upset that Clint Eastwood gave that strange speech, and that Romney's speech overall was rated as a failure by a majority of people.

Bill Clinton knocked it out of the park, you propagandist. You can say differently all day long, but you are the only one saying it, and it doesn't make it true.

because they have poisoned the well so wonderfully that the baggers and party faithful have such a visceral hate for anything Democrat and especially Clinton and especially Obama that they can't watch for themselves. They then trust, their trusted media source, to feed them the pablum of what happened. So, fux does what fux does best, they lie about it to them. So the minions feel informed and go out with their talking points and start plastering FB and other social media sites, blogs, etc armed with the lies and start spewing.

His audience consists of all the Rs who he knows didn't actually watch Clinton's speech. Perception is reality for the ignorant.

I could see if he had a few comments about what Clinton could have done better (NOT)

but to totally dis the speech as a missed opportunity?

He must be the fountainhead of the propagandist branch of the Repuke party.
(notice, I didn't call him the "N" word)

Sorry - I've gotta ask this-
Does any one else think he looks like Warren Beatty who just looked inside the lost ark?
