Did anyone see Rick "Leadman" Snyder interviewed by Scott Pelley on CBS News?

Wow. Asked him what the lead level was today. Snyder didn't know. Asked him how many children had been injured. He didn't know. All he did was duck and evade.

He looked like a weasel.

Michigan government.

Sadly it takes something like this to do it but the repukes I've heard interview are shitting themselves over the potential fallout.

I'd like to clean them all out.

I've heard the same shitting bricks, too.

Oh, how they'll do everything in their power ... blah, blah, blah ... until the heat is off. Then it's back to screwing everyone again.

He keeps saying he is sorry, but the only thing he is really sorry about is that his true motives were uncovered.

Last night at the rally in Lansing, Mark Shauer, who ran against Snyder in 2014, was a speaker. The first thing he reminded us of was that during his campaign he repeatedly said that the columns the 'Nerd Governor' was missing on his spreadsheets were the ones that contained PEOPLE.

got a feeling the Dems will screw this up again. The weak link in this scenario is the Mayor of Flint. Read the comments earlier,you got to be kidding.

It seems like Pelley was shocked that Snyder didn't have the facts at hand. I find it hard to believe, too, that only "100" children have been affected.

Snyder came off very badly. That he didn't know the lead levels looked uncaring.
