I forced myself to tune in to CBS early this morning because of Ron Paul’s “Face the Nation” interview. Establishment tool \u00a0<\/a>Bob Schieffer previews\u00a0the interview\u00a0by announcing that “this morning, we’ve got an interview with Ron Paul, who, of all people<\/strong>, is rising to the top tier in Iowa.”<\/p>\n

Media bias against Paul — why, what are you, some kind of paranoid?<\/p>\n

Update<\/strong>:\u00a0 A question from the unbiased Schieffer: “”You blame America for 9\/11, right?”<\/p>\n

Ron patiently explains the difference between the American government and the American people — a distinction the old Beltway troll finds befuddling.<\/p>\n

“You want us to be ‘nicer’ to Iran’s leaders.”<\/p>\n

Ron’s reply, “we employ thousands of diplomats, let’s use some of them.” Poor Bob: he looks upset. Schieffer\u00a0is a\u00a0snake –\u00a0a \u00a0“liberal”\u00a0 the War Party can count on.<\/p>\n

Schieffer is horrified by Ron, of course — but he backs down and\u00a0 says “Well, then, let’s move on” once he’s challenged.<\/p>\n

Yes Bob, you petrified old fart and Beltway lickspittle, isn’t it time for you to move on and retire?<\/p>\n
