Strange, we were just discussing something similar for the next UK elections.
My campaign slogan will be "My turn at the trough".
Which one?Quote:

Can you beat this guy's "Have a beer with" advantage?

Actual senate candidate, actual advert
I think you spend more time on Youtube than I do.Quote:

Matthews, I think, is actually psychotic, no offense intended.
It must be remnant from his time with Jimmy Carter.
That last guy is a hoot, though; even if you wouldn't drink with him (I think I would), the "Hire The Handicapped" subtext is ingenious. :dabs:

Don't spend much time on youtube, just know how to use a search function.
I was looking for the interview because I remember watching it and they were practically holding hands and making gooey eyes at each other- that clip came up.
So your opinion of Mathews as a commentator is based on who he worked for in the past?
I base my observation on how he performs as a commentator. Why would you say he is psychotic? Are Bill Oreily, John Gibson, Sean Hannity and Britt Hume sane? Who would you say, if any, is non partisan?
Joe Scarborough for example was a conservative congressman. A "contract with America" conservative, but as a presenter, he leaves his party affiliation at the door. He will call out republicans because he is a conservative. This apparently drives many partisans on the right nuts.
Who would you say, if any, is non partisan?

I know how to use "search" as well, but don't normally refer to youtube; no offense intended.Quote:

I refer to him as "Bill O'Really"; I don't watch his show, thus.
Gibson?
Yes, but given to the occasional counterproductive rhetorical flourish; don't watch him, either.
Hannity?
Marginally.
He has limited range, and is not terribly intelligent.
I don't watch him.
Britt Hume?
A master.
I try not to miss his show.
I would say Hume presents as close to non-partisan as any you've mentioned.Quote:

I usually have some sort of news show on in the background all day, for which habit I blame the authors of 9/11.
I wish I could break the habit, honestly. :whistling
I wasn't actually thinking of just those mentioned.
You know those Eddie Murphy films like the nutty professor where he wears that fat make up? Well I've always thought Britt Hume and Dick Cheney are one and the same person, Cheney being Hume in the fat make up.
On Fox I would say that Chris Wallace was the neutral guy, or at least as neutral as anyone else I would consider non partisan in their work as commentator/presenter. My opinion on what they think or believe politically outside of their job as commentator would be a different thing altogether.
You are selling Hume short.Quote:

BTW-
What did you think of his now-infamous interview with Slick Willie?
I'd love to have been in C.W.'s shoes just then.
I'm also thinking you have sidetracked my campaign, which I now resume...:whistling
Before I attempt to sway my constituency, I'd like to know what subsidies, entitlements, legal waivers and blatantly biased legislation you have to offer us.
How's about I create a business-friendly atmosphere wherein nice fat chickens can be purchased at reasonable prices from well-stocked victual emporiums and cooked in Puck-worthy pots available at ubiquitous culinary supply outlets?Quote:
