2. Bennett seems to make sense
and the Fox blondie was downright rude. Bennett's patience is to be commended.

9. Send the crickets to Pakistan, and they'll be attacked.
But Bennett does show why cheap-shot examples of "bad spending" are often misfires.

3. How many times can you say
authorizing in 3 minutes? How dare he tell Faux not to mislead anyone? Who does he think he is?

Oh, he's a Repug. Never mind.

10. Damned if I know what's behind all this...
Do crickets have a special role in Mormon eschatology? Do they warn of the coming of the AntiChrist? Or does their chirping just indicate that it's time to change your magic underwear? :rofl:

13. When the pioneers first settled here, their first crops were almost destroyed by these particular
crickets. Then seagulls descended and ate enough of the crickets to save a good portion of the crops. That's why the seagull is Utah's state bird.

17. "Mormon" is religion, "Arab" an ethnicity...
two completely different things, so I'm not sure what the comparison's supposed to be.

11. That lady has the nastiest attitude I've ever seen from a talking head
She is so rude to everyone. She thinks people want to hear her and not the guest.

12. I'm glad to hear one of my senators making sense.
It doesn't happen very often.

14. If the committee runs out of time in putting forward its agenda
why don't they just do a continuing resolution so they can have their vote registered on the record.

The interviewer is rude and abrasive. I don't know this makes her more effective than if she had an even keeled questioning manner. If this is what Fox breeds, I am more than glad that I don't have to hear that kind of tripe on a regular basis.

Bennett comes off as being snide too. If she would hold her horses, he'd get to the point? Why not just answer the question asked and express to the interviewer as part of the interview, he'd like to explain his earmark philosophy.

I don't know why Republicans always have to declare war on a tactic or a method of doing business. Why not address the underlying problem if the procedure stays the same?

15. You can tell by this girl's questions that she doesn't understand
how things in Washington works.

So of course, she's going to talk shit like a hard ass--because that's what people who don't know shit do--they talk shit.
