Norah O’Donnell Compares Paul Ryan’s Marathon Misstatement to Al Gore’s Internet Claim

This one is not even close. Gore saying he "invented" the internet was a right-wing fabrication. He said, inartfully, that he foresaw the information superhighway, as he called it back in the late 1980s, and contributed to the legislation that got the internet off the ground. That was true, notwithstanding how the stupidities of the right-wing echo chamber work their way into mainstream political life. Ryan, in contrast, being a filthy liar, just reverted to form and lied. Only now, he is under a microscope and got caught. Not even close. Gore is a bit of a blowhard. Ryan is an outright liar. And lying on something like best marathon time totally clinches it. Reflects an utter lack of decency and propriety.

Al Gore didn't 'foresee' anything of the sort. The guy is a flunky ignoramus, who failed out of Vanderbilt University with near straight F's.

This was a thoughtful, articulate explanation of your point. It's just that you're full of baloney.

Thanks for the clarification, snowball. We all look to you for your understated hyperbole.

"Here at this site, Solyndra expects to make enough solar panels each year to generate 500 megawatts of electricity. And over the lifetime of this expanded facility, that could be like replacing as many as eight coal-fired power plants."
~Obama

Now you can recognize a genuine blowhard and a liar when you see one.

That's free enterprise, chump. Sometimes businesses fail. But you know what? It is good that we are making the investment. It is good for American competitiveness. You losers leave everything--including our national economic destiny--to the market, which is why you crashed our economy and are crushing our people.

The Obama administration illegally subordinated taxpayers to newer investors like Obama crony bundler George Kaiser. Taxpayers were told to go to the back of the line, far enough back in the line not to get any reimbursement on the half-billion dollars Obama threw at Solyndra.

That's what you call free enterprise? That's what you call competitiveness? That's what you call investment when the facility was sold for 30 cents on the dollar? American free enterprise is in business to make money. The Obama Politburo is in it to trash America's economy and reward their cronies in the ruling elite.

You are the same uninformed blowhard that you were when you used the "Pathetic" Liberal moniker. BTW, why did you change your moniker?

Today on Face the Nation, Norah O’Donnell interviewed vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan. At the end of the interview, rather than asking him one last question about any of the pressing problems facing our country (and it’s not like there aren’t enough to choose from) she chose the completely-irrelevant-to-anything-going-on-in-this-world marathon time. And to top it all off, she believed a sound comparison was Al Gore saying he invented the internet. How nice.

The man misspoke, he acknowledged the error and has a perfectly understandable reason for making it. Of course, as Ryan acknowledges in the interview, it’s just another...
