- Well it turns out Mitt Romney jumped the gun yesterday when he criticized the "Obama Administration's first response" to the Libyian crisis. It was a statement from the American Embassy in Libya that was issued before the killing that Romney attacked. What a screw up. Game over?
- And that political genius Rick Perry also issued a statement attacking the President even before our Ambassador's body was cold. Is the Chinese Ad guy still also running the Perry spin machine?
- You guys realize that several Libyans were killed trying to protect our embassy, don't you? And I bet they were Muslims.
- There are a couple of murder-for-hire cases in the local news. Those things always seem to go wrong. Or are some murders actual "for hire" crimes that we never know about?
- Academic nugget: Former SMU dean Geoffrey Orsak fired after 74 days as University of Tulsa president. I don't know why but that wasn't even long enough to be considered an academic honeymoon.
- Cowboys nugget: Only 8 of 24 starters - kicker and punter included - remain from the 1-7 team Jason Garrett took over 25 games ago.
- I'm proud of the landscaping in the front yard of my house. A ton of hours were spent on it.
- The official organization of Texas District Attorney's and County Attorney's has issued a report saying prosecutorial misconduct is "exceedingly rare." What a relief!!!! Now I want to know what DPS believes about trooper misconduct.
- I was listening to the radio last weekend on the way to LSU and heard a rundown of college football injuries. It was lengthy list of young men "out for the season" with destroyed knees, ankles, and concussions. For the first time, I began to wonder is a sport I love can be justified.
- A radio commercial compared some product to the "cool side of a pillow at night." I know exactly what that means but I had never heard anyone mention it before.
- Someone tweeted this picture of a "massive car explosion" in Irving this morning.

Great dumb candidate you folks called Republicans have - running for President. You want his kind of diplomacy?
This one just might cost him more than he knows.
We should all be thinking of how hard this loss is to the families.
Sad.
Gah! I sure hope you draft up a better RT gal.
Same as the beer summit when Obama came out against the Cambriege police department. Except Obama was critizing an American Police force. Great "dumb" president you democrats have elected.
Where were the Marines??
You dumb Dems will swallow any lie (coverup)your Obammy regurgitates!
The first White house response (tweet) IS what Romney responded to. If they now say it was a tweet from the embassy -- that's a lie!
NBC Barry? Seriously? And game over? What? Who's jumping the gun now? Oh, wait, you use ABC, CBS, and NBC as your sources for unbiased truth! You should stick to Wise County road improvements, your landscaping, and the RTG. You're a political hack.
Obama is'nt going to do anything to the Muslim thugs. He's one of them.
What about the Duke lacrosse rape scandle?
I keep hearing conservatives on other sites asking "What would Reagan do?" Apparently they have completely blocked Beirut from their mind.
OMG, i'll take wed. TR girl anyday.
8:44 Dumb Republican candidate? So our government should apologize for some idiot who made a film months ago for causing an organized attack killing 4 Americans? And it happened 11 years ago after 9/11! Why can't the left understand that we don't cause the attacks on us! They hate us. They want to kill us!
What makes me sad is all the left wingers who don't get it!
Somebody had to say something. Obama was busy in Las Vegas not to mention the fact he went on to bed while the ambassador was missing.
8:53 - but he WAS elected. Let's see how your candidate does.
Global warfare is a bit bigger than the "beer summit"!
all glory and praise to barack osama husain obamma! He will save us. thank you God thank you God . He alone is our savior.
no one could ever take his place(except B. Clinton).
df: Hogwash
I don't see that Romney screwed up. With 100% of the elite media ganging up on him to present him in a bad light, I think he is doing an excellent job. The more the elite media beat down on Romney, the more I see him as the underdog, the more I want to vote for him. Don't you always go for the underdog, sir?
Massive Car Explosion?? It was really a bomb? Maybe you meant it was 'just car fire' on the road.
DPS Trooper misconduct? It's one of the only professions where you lay your life on the line all the time while a camera is up your arse. How much misconduct would we REALLY find defense attorneys committing if they had the same audio/video during their work day?????
Oh, so NOW the demos are just furious that the repubs got ticked off about an apology for Americans free right of speech (no matter where it came from)? Those demons who attacked, murdered, and then dragged the dead body of our ambassador were justified in their actions because some American made a little film about Muhammad? EVERY single American - Dems, Repubs, Independents, etc should be up in arms in ONE VOICE together to condemn these people! How dare anyone say Repubs are so awful for the response Romney gave!
Also, Romney was responding to what the PRESS was reporting. The press reported that tweet came from the White House!
But I will say again, ALL AMERICANS should be infuriated about what those towel headed nincompoops will do when their little feelings get hurt!
Ambassador Stevens is dead, uh, oh, uh, um, when's my tee time? Alluh Akbar.
As smart as you are suppose to be BG how can you be so blind!!! You will believe anything the liberals say, I was talking to someone lastnight I don't understand when the proof is right in front of you Obama is to worried about being popular with the Hollywood crowd he could careless about this country or the the American citizen!! open your eyes BG
Romney:
Engage mind before engaging mouth.
College football is so hypocritical on many fronts. Most of the kids playing are just trying to change their financial lives by making it to the NFL. Meanwhile most struggle financially in college trying to maintain their amature status while their coaches make millions. We the fans provde the revenue so the schools, coaches and TV rake in our cash. The kids get hurt, they drag them off the field and a replacement gladiator is brought in.
As I said yesterday to even give the slightest hint that the Muslims have some reason to be angry because some idiot expressed his 2nd Admendment rights (this is light years from a fire in a crowded theater comment) with a really bad film, is treason. Where is the outrage over that?
Reason for Geoffrey Orsak firing... He requested for a leave of absence to tend to things in Dallas after 68 days on the job. TU is a big enough school that can't afford to have a president take leave every two months. I believe he really just missed Dallas.
There goes Barry again trying to put his liberal spin on things in order to defend Obama.
Who cares if the apology happened BEFORE the Libyan attack?
The man runs around the world apologizing for things America has done, and one apology alone is unacceptable in my book.
Go see 2016!
The Jackal
If candidates are selected or avoided because of a perceived gaffe, then nobody would ever be elected... Including Obama.
That said, this is a total non issue. I'm certain you check DrudgeReport, there's a link on here that has audio of reporters conspiring to set Romney up. For most Americans, apologizing for free speech, even if from an idiot is not necessary.
How can more not be made of Mr. Diplomacy himself (Obama) REFUSING to meet with Netanyahu? Israel is kind of a big deal...
I think Obama should apologize to the guy who secretly filmed sportscaster Erin Andrews in the nude. It's not that guy's fault that she's so hot!
RTG: WOW!! Thumbs up! One of your best in a while. Beats that Kardashian whale, from the other day, all to hell!
WND Report says Obama is a homo. For reals!
RASMUSSEN POLL: ROMNEY BACK IN LEAD...
R: 47%
O: 46%
You kiddin me? I make a comment pointing out your grammar mistake and you correct the mistake but don't post my comment? You wuss.
Our moderator is a nit-wit, and he probably knows this.
Romney is not going to back away from his statements, because they are true. In light of an attack on sovereign US soil, the president apologized for the American way of life.
Essentially, Obama is apologizing to the Muslims for forcing them to kill us.
Game over? You must be standing too close to the high voltage power lines.
As for prosecutorial misconduct...it is a relief. I wonder what the ratio is between prosecutorial misconduct and disbarment for defense attornies.
Trooper misconduct...we all know there are bad apples everywhere. But is awful easy for you to sit there on your pompous ass pointing fingers at anyone you can, we you've never put your ass on the line.
Ever serve in the military? Ever served an officer? Its comical that you are so quick to throw people under the bus that (1) created your ability to voice your opinion and (2) maintain your daily safety, which affords you the opportunity to voice that opinion.
Having served in both of these facets, I'll just say...You're welcome.
Stay Classy Counselor
Bacon Scale

She needs some bacon bad.
BG when will you get it through your thick Baylor educated head the mainstream media is simply a cheer leading squad for the Liar in Chief. Pull your head out!
When is Obama going to apologize
for this offensive p-o-s rag?
"Cooler than the other side of the pillow", heard a play by play guy describe a field goal kicker in this way. That's one of those sayings I though I made up a long time ago, until I heard someone else use it.
Romney back the lead! What happened? But Barry said "Game over".
I have no doubt that your RT Girl (nice choice btw) would be stoned to death or mutilated in some way by those daring and brave Muslims (you seem to admire and quickly defend)that came to the "assistance" of our fellow AMERICAN. Are all Muslims bad? I would say no, but do we really have the luxury right now of trying to distinguish between the two? An educated man you are.........but reckless and naive with your thoughts on this subject.
"Cooler than the other side of the pillow"
Chris Arnold used this phrase frequently when he was on the ticket.
Where is Bush in all this? We all know that it's his fault the Muslims hate us. Thought Obama was going to fix that. Just add one more to the pile of lies he has told. Barry, you need to stick to things you know something about. Like Girls softball (maybe).
Welcome to another media-generated hullabaloo about a supposed Romney "gaffe." If you want a chuckle, follow BG's link to the NBC story and read the paragraphs following "At a 1 p.m. ET briefing." See what NBC characterizes as a "strong condemnation." But the whole situation emphasizes what a debacle Obama's foreign policy has been. How many dead American diplomats will it take to cancel out one dead bin Laden?
What happened is that Romney looked presidential, and Obama looked like, well, Obama.
If Obama had a son, he would look like this.
Skippy, Don't you feel bad about doing the landscape work yourself thus putting illegal aliens out of work?
Is the middle east better off
than it was four years ago?
I believe there are a lot of successful murder for hire plots you never hear about. It's the $100-$10,000 jobs that get busted. If you have enough cash, say $50k+, you can have someone killed.
If all of you liberal weenies would read the headline links on the Drudgereport and then click on them and read the story about them, you would realize how inept our Supreme Commandante obammy is. But you are so used to hearing the slant that MSNBC or NBC puts out that you believe it to be true.
If we only had a president that would attend all intelligence briefing meetings instead of only 47 per cent of them......
Why all the cop hate Barry?
We all love you.
Unemployment numbers are up again but Romney is unpresidential.
Romney didn't jump the gun but Barry jumped the shark.
The US Marines defending the embassy in Egypty were not allowed to carry live ammunition but Romney is unpresidential.
Inflation jumps,wholesale gas prices up most in 3 years but Romney is unpresidential.
Sebelius violated the law with political speech but Romney is unpresidential.
It's hilarious to watch the left day by day prove they are such fools!
Gullible much?
LMBO
I can so picture a terrorist with a package in his hand walk up to a lefty and say, "Here hold this", and the lefty would!
LMAO
11:17 I agree. Very naive for a supposed educated person. Of coarse he is a lawyer so he probably is lying its what they do.
8:44 It's sad they you are too stupid to see the truth.
Rush says it best. You are naive and childish.
Obama. : always blame Americans and to hell with the constitution.
Df. Hogwash
Michelle Obama for president
Muslims have some reason to be angry because some idiot expressed his 2nd (sic) Admendment (sic) rights
This from a (most likely) Republican is hilarious. There are more amendments than the 2nd, dip shit.
But the whole situation emphasizes what a debacle Obama's foreign policy has been.
I know, right? Winding down two never-ending wars that were handed to him by the previous administration, and putting down at least one dictatorship without putting more troops on the ground? What a horrible job.
And oh yeah, can someone find Bin Laden and ask him if he's better off than he was four years ago? Thanks.
Rage
Please do not interrupt Bin Laden to ask if he is better off now than he was four years ago. He is kinda busy with 72 virgins. Instead, ask over 28 million unemployed AMERICANS, or 1 in 6 AMERICANS living in poverty, or 47 per cent of AMERICANS that are on food stamps if they are better off.
Like with Quayle and Palin, the Republican rank-and-file will ONLY feel comfortable admitting that their candidate was lame long after the election has passed.
Until then, they have to try and fool themselves and everyone else that everything is fine and dandy.
It was a fairly major flub by Romney - one which he can recover from, of course, but it would help if the True Believers could admit it was a flub.
Rage/Monica, you make an excellent point about there being more than one amendment to the constitution. The muslims are angry because we have a Constitution that allows us to be free. But wasn't the one that you kneel down to quoted as saying that Afghanistan was the right war to fight? And the one you kneel down to that put down one dictatorship without putting more troops on the ground was quoted in a BBC interview in 2009 that Mubarek was a force for stability, a stalwart ally and a force for good. It's a good thing Obammy's mouth has two sides because he is the best that there ever was at speaking out of both of them. Has your dry cleaner gotten that stain out of your blue dress yet?
9:10
Thank you. I would love to give my guy a shot. And yes, global warfare is greater than the beer summit, both of which Obama has a dismal record with.
I wonder what the Texas BAR Association would say about judicial misconduct of it's members?
It's awesome to watch the bigots like 1:03 cry about every little thing Obama did, whether it was the same or similar to one of their republican idols or not. Can't wait for Obama to get elected. There will be some massive KKK membership drives when he does.
DPS Trooper misconduct? It's one of the only professions where you lay your life on the line all the time while a camera is up your arse. How much misconduct would we REALLY find defense attorneys committing if they had the same audio/video during their work day?????
Good stuff, I like
Ah Wordy - Romney looks presidential?
And he'll look cute like Bush did all dressed up in military garb standing before the troops and saluting.
Romney = Bush II.
I suppose mentioning bin Laden (again) in regard to this latest Carter-like foreign policy disaster is appropriate. Obama didn't personally kill either Osama bin Laden or Ambassador Stevens, but the people he put in motion did.
Wait, Obama had Stevens killed by putting the people who did in motion?
I'm starting to wonder of there is any depth to which Wordkyle won't sink.
Rage
1:16, Do you actually mean that the democratic organization KKK will have a membership drive because we have 4 more years of a half black president? By calling me a bigot, you seem to forget that it was the democratic party(KKK Robert Byrd) that opposed the Civil Rights Act. Isn't it beautiful irony that 95 per cent of blacks belong to the party that opposed their God given rights? I love the liberal weenie mindset.
Obammy=Jimmy Carter II
2:16 The Democrats are still holding blacks in slavery; the 21st Century kind.
Did anyone catch the video yesterday of Obammy driving around LA throwing money out of the window to his brutha's? Now I'm not saying he was trying to buy their votes...
Now that we have found out a Coptic Christian was behind the attack and killings at our Embassy, should we go after all Christians of the world? After all most believe all Muslims are terrorists, so is it fair to believe all Christains are terrorists as well?
There's a country song by Uncle Kracker called Smile with the lyrics "Cooler than the flip side of my pillow".
I have said it before and i will say it again, of course Osama is better of than 4 years ago, he has 72 virgins at his side!
I wonder if Orsak got to keep the shower gifts after the breakup?
DF Emily Post
As of 7:30, I wish all liberal weenies would take a peek at the Drudgereport showing Obammy's Jimmy Carter moment. I have to admit, he is starting to look like the loser we all knew he is with all of that egg on his face. The reason that I wish all weenies would check out Drudge is that I want them to puke then their heads explode.
lack of leadership is the point.
5:54 - interesting that this information hasn't had a lot of press - and of course most Christians are not "terrorists", but you do have a point. I cringe everytime I get around somebody who has just "found God"....they lambast everybody they meet with this - then here comes the "judgement" on everybody else, the donning of a tee shirt full of Biblical verses,etc. I RUN from these types. And by golly the way some of them talk, they just might "kill you" if you don't jump on the holy bandwagon.
