ROFLMAO - Team Pantsuit Tried to Plant Another Question This is really getting to be fun now. The Pantsuit Implosion. No wonder this hack can't answer a simple question and needs rehearsed questions. Pathetic. From Major Garrett, a Fox News Exclusive: In a telephone interview with Fox, Geoffrey Mitchell, 32, says he was approached by an operative for the Clinton campaign to ask a planted question about standing up to President Bush on Iraq war funding. The encounter happened before an event on a farm outside Fort Madison, Iowa. The Clinton event was hosted by Iowa State Sen. Gene Fraise. Mitchell tells Fox that Clinton campaign worker Chris Hayler approached him and asked him to ask Sen. Clinton a question about how she was standing up to President Bush on the question of funding the Iraq war and a troop withdrawal timeline. Mitchell told Fox the Clinton campaign wanted to contrast Clinton to Sen Barack Obama, who had recently said the president would probably prevail in the Iraq funding battle with Congress. Mitchell said he refused to ask the question. “I told Chris I had other issues I wanted to raise with Sen. Clinton,” MItchell said. Asked what those were, Mitchell said: “I wanted to ask her why she voted for the Iraq war and why she didn’t consider that a mistake.” Read the rest. They don't deny this. What we need now is for news organizations to go look back at Clinton campaigns events and look at the questions being asked from audiences. I believe it won't take long to find a distinct pattern. If they've been busted twice on this in the course of one day, no question there could be dozens, if not hundreds of cases of this. Will the media do their job now or will they continue to carry water for this duplicitous fraud??

Moviegoers Flee Tom's 'Lions For Lambs'; Flock To Films With Jerry, Denzel, Russell; Vince's 'Fred Claus' Only Manages Third SUNDAY AM: I heard Tom Cruise did Lions For Lambs for "virtually nothing" to help kick-start his revival of United Artists. Without that, the R-rated movie starring Cruise, Meryl Streep and Robert Redford, who also directed, never would have gotten off the ground. Maybe that would have been kinder. Because even with a very moderate budget of $35 million, the political polemic was killed by moviegoers and reviewers alike this weekend, opening to a paltry $6.5 million from 2,215 theaters with an anemic per screen average as well. Even with only a 92-minute running time, the pic even fell far short of the studio's rock-bottom expectations of $8 million.
