Sometimes the photos don't come through for me. Could you put a little comment with them?
Otherwise, I'm looking at a blank space and wondering what is in it.
I'm in Missouri and the suspense is killing me.
Thanks, and keep writing, Matey.; 4:44 PM

The latter was just jumping on the band-wagon. The first has done this deal before in prior years.; 4:57 PM
Unknown said...: Wow... "professional" newscasters like that are just downright scary. Leading questions, opinion dripping with arrogance and condescension, downright argumentative! The car dealer did an admirable job, though, (and I'm armchair quarterbacking here), I wish he would have spent less time defending and more time convincing, especially when it became clear she was taking such a hostile position. In addition, I wish he would have redefined "assault weapon" to what it really is: a full-auto battle weapon.

In any case, God bless that car dealer and I hope he sells a lot of cars!; 5:59 PM
Anonymous said...: Great discussion.
By the way Butler, MO is also the hometown of Robert Heinlein - must be something good in the water there!; 7:47 PM

Wow.; 6:13 AM
Anonymous said...: I think he did a commendable job responding to/defending himself against Miss Bias' inane questions.; 10:53 AM
Ruminator said...: This circulated the office the other day. I think the dealer did an admirable job of defending his position on his feet! The reporter was well-prepared (probably figured out her questions before the interview hoping to catch the dealer flat-footed -- FAIL!) but couldn't get the job done.

This makes me ill. Journalists should be after the facts, not an agenda.; 11:24 AM
Seabat said...: Thanks, Xav,
I did see a news story on that.
Thanks for the clarification.; 2:22 PM
DouginSalcha said...: Agree with Nathan; the bias (not to mention the ignorance on most 'gun' issues) by the news media - especially CNN - is frightening. I also thought Mark (the Dealer) did a superb job of 'thinking on his feet' and I also hope he sells a bunch of trucks...; 3:38 PM
