Attn: Seniors! Threatening to fire Jim Lehrer

Is the level of respect you get with Romney. Ignoring Jim threatening, to fire him, Rmoney's disgust with old people hindering the future, was documentable.

How can someone diss a respectable moderator, while threatening to fire him is inexcusable to me. At his age, Jim is still working, how old do the rest of us have to be, to so disrespected by a candidate?

He may be in his "cocky" part of life, but I see him falling pretty quick-like in another month or so. He's placed himself on such a high pedestal, the fall is going to be life-changing. He'll be lucky if he DOESN'T have a breakdown, as Queen Ann hinted.

Hopefully, he will release his tax forms so we can see what needs to be "corrected" so we can put those penalties in the general fund. That should carry us for a while.

He's in his 70's. Here is a clip of him accepting an Emmy in 2006.
