Does anyone notice how when Repugs are on C-span...

[butterfly77]

They try to take up all of the time by a taking a
long time to answer a question to run out the time. The host usually dosen't block this and lately they have been letting 3 or 4 repug calls in right behind each other. If a Dem line dosen't answer they go right back to the repugs. I have noticed everytime Duncan Hunter comes on he hesitates and has a long answer and adds on things that have nothing to do with what was asked.

1. C-Spin Has Been Getting Worse

No doubt about that.

3. I agree that thier morning call in shows is lop-sided in representation...

but what the OP refers to is just more of the same Repuke corruption and general thuggery....evil fuckers:grr:

2. It's on page 493 of the manual

right after Interrupting opponents

and just before

answering any question with the talking points of the day

4. I think it's actually on page ...

one or two. No Republican publication really has 493 pages.

;)

5. Au contraire

the listing of the acceptable "Bottle Blonde" color charts take up at least a hundred..and the detailed instructions for the perfect bouffant flip go on for chapters..illustrated of course....and then there are the diagrams for acceptable "shiny toupees" for the guys... then there's the whole "red dress" section..

It's an INTELLIGENTLY DESIGNED SCIENCE, dammit:)

7. Are you for real?

10. I have no idea.

There is no real way to tell.

6. The open phone segments have been shortened..

when they have an open phone segment for 30 min then, they have a reporter or the Miers or Alito segment to take up part of the 30 mins.

If the Dems bring up good points they let a Repug come next to spout nonsense and then start reading newspapers and pick up another repug. I've also noticed when someone calls about 911 it automatically becomes an conspiracy theory. If the same thing breaks on the national news or in another country and can't be hidden then they'll talk about it.

8. They may be giving more time to Pubs because there are fewer of

them calling in.

But, I agree, there is definite bias to Pubs no matter how much they don't say or say or how slow or fast.

By the way, did you hear Randi Rhodes gush about Bryan Lamb? She loves him. It is a love fest.

I wish she would counter that with some truth about the prejudice of C-Span for Pubs. She could start out by telling him that we are sick and all vomited out at all the 'guest experts' from the American Enterprise Institute and the Heritage Foundation. Perhaps Randi could go on a campaign to needle Dlems into establishing parallel institutes and push to be on the program.
