Anyone watch Jake Tapper wash Paul Ryans Feet?

[busterbrown]

Let him go on and on about the Obamacare Death Spiral...and how the Republican Plan will fix the whole Healthcare system.

But what really pissed me off is when finally Jake, mentioned the fact that seniors will be the big losers in his plan..citing specific numbers...Ryan responded for 21/2 minutes on their go to “The death spiral talking points” with absolutely no counter argument from Tapper...Just Fucking awful..

No link yet.

Anyone else see this.?

1. Jake usually does better

He let Ryan blather on with his talking points and never challenged the lies.

2. Perhaps CNN has decided to Come Home!

After being bullied like punks for the past couple of months.. Thought they responded by displaying some tough gonads.
Is Cnn gonna embrace the Battered Spouse Syndrome? Hope the fuck not!

3. I don't think so

They've been doing pretty well since the election. I wonder if it was the media's silly infatuation with Ryan as the "intellectual" of Congress.

4. Tapper was a rightrwing tool at ABC. Tapper and Jonathon Karl

are from the Reagan young republican generation, and would seem to compete to see who shows more right wing nuttery.

6. Yes, I saw it, and he let Ryan talk on and on and on and on. I have never seen Tapper SO

quiet and seemingly muzzled during any exchange like this before. I have no idea what CNN was trying to accomplish -- if the goal was to allow Ryan to take over twenty minutes of uninhibited talking time to pitch his "healthcare" bill without any strong refutations from Tapper -- well then mission accomplished. Ryan was speaking in full paragraphs when normally Tapper allows a sentence or two before breaking in with a question.

Even with all of the free talking time Ryan was still quite obviously trying to polish a huge turd.
