| TMZ says it has obtained an email from CNN’s Managing Editor, Mark Whitaker, to CNN personnel. The email sets out talking points in response to criticism of Candy Crowley’s performance as a debate moderator last night. It is pretty funny; this is the complete email, according to TMZ: Let’s start with a big round of applause for Candy Crowley for a superb job under the most difficult circumstances imaginable. She and her team had to select and sequence questions in a matter of hours, and then she had to deal with the tricky format, the nervous questioners,

Comments: This is pretty funny how they try to defend Candy C., but it becomes downright hysterical when they say that Obama got more speaking time because he speaks slower! Can Lame Street Media get any lamer?!

These talking points do not make any sense.
I would press Obama and Crowley to see if they meant that Obama's comments in the Rose Garden, specifically "acts of terror" indicated whether or not the administration felt that the attack was terrorism or not. Pick, Mr. President and wing lady.
If not terrorism, then Romney was correct and Obama was not truthful at the debate. If terrorism, then why did the administration change the story and trot Susan Rice out on 5 shows to claim otherwise? Either way, Obama and wing lady are trapped.
Regarding the "lethargic pace" defense for awarding Obama more time, I do not believe that the debate rules regarding equal visibility were based on the units of words spoken. Otherwise, Obama could have filibustered the entire 90 minutes by spitting out a word every 30 to 60 seconds, thus shutting out Romney, correct? Since the units were time, the manner in which the candidates used their time (slow or fast cadence) was their choice.

If Ms. Crowley wasn't up to the task, she should have bowed out. Her bias showed loud and clear in that debate when she was supposed to be a neutral party.

Maybe, next, they can explain why Mitt Romney was able to defeat 0 and their heavy hitter simultaneously? Also, this memo is very poorly worded. So much for 'journalism'...
Good thing they don't keep time based on 0bama's thinking speed...

Given a choice Crowley would much rather be derided by the right than the left. If she wasn't clearly in the tank for Obama she would have a a slew of death threats to wake up to and hate mail by the scores. These people are always going to circle the wagons for each other .

Being "amused" at CNN's obfuscation regarding the biased and unbelievably intrusive Crowley is not all that appropriate when we step back and realize that CNN is a Marxist-enabler whose in-the-tank candidate will finish ruining America with CNN's complete approval. Hilarious? Not So Much. Crowley was Obama's agent and for that she is praised by the CNN explainers. Blame the RNC for continually agreeing to disadvantageous debate moderators ... you can't fix stupid.

Let me point out two completely unrelated facts here.
1. Crowley just happened to have with her a transcript of Zero's speech. 2. Zero asked Crowley to check the transcript of his speech, indicating he knew she had it.
Q: How did Zero know Crowley had the transcript?

Candy Crowley had a transcript of the Rose Garden press conference where BO addressed the violent acts against our embassies overseas. She said she had that transcript because she knew the questions that would be asked, and had the transcript for reference.
The question did not reference the Rose Garden statement or violence to our other embassies, but asked who was responsible for denying assistance to the Ambassador, despite his calls for help. How/why did BO even know she had that particular transcript, as he yelled out to her, 'Get the transcript'.

0bama did not say act (or acts) of terror. He specifically and exclusively used the plural. Any reasonable adult would connect these to all acts going back to World Trade I. The subsequent constant harping on the video by him and his minions completely validates only this view.

In Colorado, the fate of convicted murderer Nathan Dunlap has been an issue of great debate. This past week, the governor of Colorado, John Hickenlooper, made what has to be one of the most cowardly decisions ever seen in politics by putting a man’s life and the expectations of his victims on hold just long enough to take the decision out of his hands. (Snip) To add insult to injustice, it appears there is a possibility that Hickenlooper made his fateful indecision at the behest of an overzealous staffer that was threatening to quit if he didn’t offer

In a press release Tuesday, Michael Farris, founder and chairman of the Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA), said, “We believe the Sixth Circuit is wrong and we will appeal their decision. America has room for this family and we will do everything we can to help them.” The Romeikes fled Germany in 2008 when they were subjected to criminal prosecution for homeschooling, which is largely illegal in their country.

The “black-market Disney guides” run $130 an hour, or $1,040 for an eight-hour day. “My daughter waited one minute to get on ‘It’s a Small World’ — the other kids had to wait 2 1/2 hours,” crowed one mom, who hired a disabled guide through Dream Tours Florida.
