That's what the two Chosen Ones for the Democratic presidential candidates did today on FOX News Sunday. Chris Wallace showed more patience than a human can possibly possess with the pathetic display of grandstanding put on by Sen. Richard "Dick" Durbin (D-IL)--part-time Marxist, full-time military critic, and mouthpiece for Obama--and Charles "Chuck" Schumer (D-NY)--full-time blowhard for Clinton.
Not one question was answered in a straightforward manner by these two yahoos.
Wallace pressed both for answers to every one of his questions. Schumer never met a microphone (or camera) that he didn't like and simply likes to hear the sound of his obstinant voice, so his performance was typical. Durbin, like the rest of America, has no idea what is inside Obama's head so had to bluster his way through a laughable diatribe of generalities. Perhaps Obama should revise his mantra to read: "Specifics for a Change."
Instead of Abbott and Costello performing "Who's On First," the FOX News audience was treated to Chuck and Duck's rendition of "Who's In First" with a taste of "What's My Line." All that was missing was Paula Abdul glowing on about how both contestants demonstrated all the colors of their talents and showed us that "you are who your really are" in an episode of "American Idle Minds."
Sort of reminds me of the Gary Larson "Far Side" cartoon in which a dog owner is barking orders at his dog (Ginger), but the dog is oblivious to his master's voice. However, today's episode of the "Farce Side (of Politics)" had us playing along as Ginger and we were oblivious to the senator's (take your pick) voice. Problem is: Our cartoon moment was a single frame with no message to begin with ("What Senators Say to Us"--blah blah blah Obama blah blah... blah blah blah Clinton blah blah...).
It's simple: No more earmarks for both of these losers--it's easy to see why the U.S. Senate is a useless den of lawyers. And, what's worse, the United States is about to elect one of these political eunuchs as president.
