Forever in blue jeans. Schieffer endorses Romney?

http://dailyhowler.blogspot.com/2012/06/bob-schieffer-at-long-last-in-blue.html

"Softball king learns a new trick: We weren’t surprised by Bob Schieffer’s questions, which resembled softball played from a tee.

(We expect to discuss a few of those questions as the week proceeds.)

We were surprised by Schieffer’s wardrobe! On yesterday’s Face the Nation, Schieffer appeared in a sylvan setting for his face-to-face with Mitt Romney. And how odd! Coordinating with his guest’s dressed-down look, Schieffer appeared in blue jeans! "

...

"Coming from Schieffer, this constitutes a remarkable fashion statement. In Octobber 1999, the CBS cypher interviewed Candidate Gore at a Portland, Maine farmer’s market. Given the setting, Gore appeared in perfectly sensible attire.

Schieffer, who looked a bit overdressed, was snide about Gore's attire in real time, then became outraged as the years passed."



There's no standard like the double standard.

And the looks on Bob's face, and Rmoney's non answers, if he could vote for Rmoney, then he is only worried about his taxes.

taxes were enough of a reason for Lawrence O'Donnell to endorse Bush over Gore. There are hundreds of thousands of dollars at stake for him, his family and his closest friends.

And I'm just sitting here wondering how in the devil someone strikes out at T-Ball - be it soft or hardball.
