2. And that is how one takes the mike out of the RW's hands and takes control of the interview.

3. Sec'y Pete knows how to marginalize MTG. Her opinion just does not have any weight.

He always manages to say exactly the right thing and stay above the fray. I'm glad that he's willing to appear on that network because he seems to be able to handle anything that comes his way, no matter how ridiculous. Maybe, just maybe, some of his practical, honest responses to questions about pressing issues will break through to some of the less idiotic viewers.

When the Fox Host asked, "Are you offended by that?" Pete answered beautifully, focusing on the issue rather than the rhetoric.

For a statement to be "offensive" it has to make sense. Like Pete said, my manhood is not connected to what fuels my car. My manhood is not connected to my car either.

Greene's statement belies what a stupid world view she holds where trying to mitigate the impact that fossil fuels are having on our ability to live on this planet, somehow challenges ANY idea of manhood. It is too stupid an idea to be offensive.

She's appealing to morons who think they're not manly unless they're making a lot of noise and smoke in an oversized truck that never hauls anything heavier than the driver.

coherent, blazingly bright, and absolutely likable! When? I don’t care — but I do look forward to that day.
