Go back to reading powerline. They have smaller words on there.

Plus, you can read great analysis like this:

"Obama thinks he is a good talker, but he is often undisciplined when he speaks. He needs to understand that as President, his words will be scrutinized and will have impact whether he intends it or not. In this regard, President Bush is an excellent model; Obama should take a lesson from his example. Bush never gets sloppy when he is speaking publicly. He chooses his words with care and precision, which is why his style sometimes seems halting. In the eight years he has been President, it is remarkable how few gaffes or verbal blunders he has committed. If Obama doesn't raise his standards, he will exceed Bush's total before he is inaugurated."

So, MSNBC was gullible? Which is what I said.

Tex, are you describing your strawman approach to posting?

No wonder you just linked to a post about the Tex mantra. This thread exemplifies it.

Cali: Fox News reported Palin thinks Africa is a country.

Tex: Gullible (citing an MSNBC report that has nothing to do with Fox's report).

Cali: That has nothing to do with Fox's report.

Tex: I know. It shows MSNBC is gullible.

That short bus honking outside your home is waiting, Tex. Hurry off now.

Odd, and here I thought you liked misleading statements.

And with that, Tex concedes. Five pages after the start of this thread, Tex finally realizes that the only argument he has given has nothing to do with this thread, and is now focused solely on changing the subject to pretend as if there is a new argument to debate in this thread.

Game over.

It should be fun to see how many other posts Tex will throw up here that have nothing to do with the topic before he just stops posting.
