| Candy Crowley has not yet moderated a presidential debate, but her performance (and appearance) is already being judged. The revelation that CNN's chief political correspondent might ask follow-up questions during tomorrow's town-hall-style contest has drawn the ire of both campaigns, fueling the real nastiness online, as usual, where anonymous creatures have wasted no time time calling out the weight of the first female moderator of a presidential debate in two decades. We wish we were surprised.

After what you leftists did to Sarah Palin and her daughters, Joe, you need to just shut up.
Maybe this wouldn't be an issue if the moderator wasn't an uber-liberal leftist like you. Why, Joe, do you think they didn't pick, say, a Megan Kelly from Fox?
What a bunch of crybabies.

Like the first article reply says, "Fat jokes are only funny when they reference Chris Christie."
I would add "Or Rush."

It's ugly and unproductive to center an argument or a challenge on physical appearance. I make an exception for clothing and makeup.

Seriously, her being 'plus sized' should not concern anyone. It is her political leanings that should concern us.

I have a fairly safe prediction. No matter what happens at the debate tonight, the MSM will immediately hail Obama's tremendous comeback performance and attempt to demonize Romney for being untruthful, vague and/or rude.
After the last debate, the MSM and the rest of the left wing could not stifle their shock, horror and deep disappointment at Obama. It was like a gag reflex. They simply could not hold back their overpowering urge to vomit.
Now they have had time to reflect and have become even more shocked and horrified to see Romney shoot ahead of Obama in all of the polls. The MSM and the rest of the far left-wing fringe have way too much emotionally and financially invested in Obama to simply cut him loose now. They will do whatever it takes from now until the election to prop Obama back up.
If they do manage to prop Obama up long enough to get him re-elected, then they will start tearing into him like a pack of wild dogs. The honeymoon is definitely over.

Here is exactly how the Leftists work; You must fit our model of what we like and do. If we like thin people, everyone must be thin. If we like green people, everyone must be green. Now that they have their claws around the throat of our health care system, we will be forced to fit their models of perfection, in both body and mind- and this poor stupid gal, being fat, has no clue of the hell she's in for with the leftists she so adores. Everyone eventually gets their belly full with leftys- even the most hard core of them. But, by the time they do, it's usually much, much too late. It's hard to complain when you are behind the barbed wire and a prized gift is a cup of cold oatmeal.

She may not be comfortable with her beauty either, but she fits the model for a debate moderator--lefty, prejudiced, liberal woman. The first one was so soft that he is now scheduling a visit with his new gynocologist. Candy may not need one.

The internet is everything, and yet nothing. And now that the opinion can be real or imagined and the foundation of opinion can be made based on the real or imagined, journalists are continuing to circle the drain.
They used to use the traditional crutches of "some people" or "sources say" and now they can just say "@crazyman603 said Candy Crowley is a cow!" and use that to lay out virtually any opinion they would like. "the internet" can give them anything they want.

Crowley's looks are not the issue. The fact that, the morning after the debate, she has now proven herself to be a worthless Obama shill and has added more credibility to the claim that these liberal-slanted debates and their "moderators" are not fair to Republicans (Obama had 44 mins. to speak; Romney, just 40) are issues. How could she say, "let me give the president a chance," when she had to know she'd given Obama more time to speak than Romney? Crowley appears to be well-suited to leave her "profession" and find a Dem PAC to work for.

HIGHLANDS, NJ — New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said Monday that President Obama "has kept every promise he´s made" about helping the state recover from Hurricane Sandy. Speaking on MSNBC´s "Morning Joe" program on the 6-month anniversary of the deadly storm, the Republican governor said presidential politics were the last thing on his mind as he toured storm-devastated areas with Obama last fall. "The president has kept every promise he´s made," said Christie, widely considered a potential candidate for the republican presidential nomination in 2016. "I think he´s done a good job. He kept his word."

Tamerlan Tsarnaev was on welfare, sponsored by tax payers. Tsarnaev, now dead, is suspected of bombing the Boston Marathon last week. "Marathon bombings mastermind Tamerlan Tsarnaev was living on taxpayer-funded state welfare benefits even as he was delving deep into the world of radical anti-American Islamism, the Herald has learned," reports the Boston Herald. "State officials confirmed last night that Tsarnaev, slain in a raging gun battle with police last Friday, was receiving benefits along with his wife, Katherine Russell Tsarnaev, and their 3-year-old daughter.

“He looks like me,” my son, Shibli, 10, said as we looked at a photo of a young Dzhokhar Tsarnaev flash upon the TV screen Friday night. Indeed, with his innocent eyes and rumple of dark curly hair, he did. As an American, a Muslim, a mother, and an aunt to a nephew on the cusp of manhood, my heart just broke for yet another boy lost in our Muslim community, taking with him the lives of others. Enough, enough, enough, I say, with the CYA—Cover Your A**—strategy in our Muslim communities.

Boudin, 69, this year won another academic laurel — being named the Sheinberg Scholar-in-Residence at NYU Law School, where last month she gave a lecture on “the politics of parole and re-entry.” Boudin’s bounce-back into respectability after her 2003 parole comes to light a week before the release of Robert Redford’s movie

Obama administration officials who were in key positions on Sept. 11, 2012, acknowledge that a range of mistakes were made the night of the attacks on the U.S. missions in Benghazi, and in messaging to Congress and the public in the aftermath. The officials spoke to CBS News in a series of interviews and communications under the condition of anonymity so that they could be more frank in their assessments. They do not all agree on the list of mistakes and it's important to note that they universally claim that any errors or missteps did not cost lives and reflect "incompetence rather than malice or cover up.

Watching President Obama trying to dodge raindrops and responsibility yesterday reminded me of the moment when Dorothy pulls back the curtain and discovers that the Wizard of Oz is “just a man.” Stripped of his spell of mystery and power, the wizard is worse than mortal. He’s a fake. So it was with Obama in the Rose Garden. His performance was tired and trite, ordinary to the point of dull. His veneer of passion was so transparent that you could see him trying to summon his old-time magic by pushing the buttons

In the wake of one of the worst abuses of government power in recent history, many are rushing to frame the Internal Revenue Service scandal as simply an attack on conservative activists. That view risks creating a partisan political football and misses a fundamentally scarier abuse that exceeds the scandals of Watergate or any other prior government abuse. The IRS has admitted that since May 2010 it targeted grassroots-conservative organizations that had applied for tax-exempt status, unfairly subjecting them to rigorous scrutiny due to their political leanings. Such groups were told they were required to comply with IRS requests,

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew on Friday urged congressional leaders to raise the debt limit and insisted that the White House is not going to negotiate over the increase because lawmakers have "no choice." "We will not negotiate over the debt limit," Lew wrote. "The creditworthiness of the United States is non-negotiable. The question of whether the country must pay obligations it has already incurred is not open to debate." Lew said that while President Obama is willing to discuss plans to reduce the nation´s deficit with Congress, those talks must be kept separate from any effort to raise the nation´s debt cap.

The State Department, under Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton, created an arrangement for her longtime aide and confidante Huma Abedin to work for private clients as a consultant while serving as a top adviser in the department. Ms. Abedin did not disclose the arrangement — or how much income she earned — on her financial report. It requires officials to make public any significant sources of income. An adviser to Mrs. Clinton, Philippe Reines, said that Ms. Abedin was not obligated to do so. The disclosure of the agreement that Ms. Abedin made with the State Department comes as her husband,

The disclosure to the Treasury general counsel and the deputy secretary was a cursory one, according to J. Russell George, the Treasury inspector general for tax administration.

Washington – Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-MO, issued a video statement Friday in response to reports that the Internal Revenue Service unfairly targeted conservative nonprofit groups. (Snip) “There’s a reason Lady Justice wears a blindfold in America. That is because in America, we don’t apply the law based on who you are, who you know, or what you believe. We apply the law equally.” “We should not only fire the head of the IRS, which has occurred, but we’ve got to go down the line and find every single person who had anything to do with this and make sure
