It is a free country, which means you can wear your Giant Nerd Glasses as big as you like.
As big as twin drive-in movie screens if it suits you.
But that doesn't mean you aren't an idiot.
Or maybe you simply do not understand that the word "debunk" does not mean "to roll out of bed with"?
And now, over to Blue Gal to explain what I am talking about.

Cupp is only following standard conservative tactics - muddy the waters. What are these facts you speak of? Because Both Sides Do It, if she says it's false, then No One Can Really Say for Sure, although that doesn't apply to her pillorying the Obama administration, of course. What's lovely about this clip is she tries some bullshit that would fly on Fox News and it falls very flat here.
She obviously didn't read the Fortune/CNN investigative piece. There was only one incident of "gun walking" in Arizona by an ATF agent. It just so happens that the agent who initiated this bonehead move, James Dodson, is also the so called whistleblower for the CBS "60 Minutes" piece in which he accused his superiors and the ATF of gun running - all of which has now been proven to be a lie.
By the way, this one instance of "gun walking" by Dodson did not:
a) Result in the death of Border Agent Terry
or
b) Take place under the auspices of the "Fast and Furious" investigation.
Ms. Black Frames needs to read the piece and understand what she's reading: the ATF never had a program in place under "Fast and Furious" where the ATF bought weapons and then sold them into the general market to follow.
One lone renegade agent did do this. His name is James Dodson. He is the point dog who was the all American hero of rightwing bloggers, CBS 60 Minutes, and Darrell Issa's investigation. Now that he's been proven to be the guilty, treasonous SOB he is, everyone who jumped on the "let's hang the Obama Administration on Fast and Furious" bandwagon are looking like the partisan fools they really are.
Fortune article debunked by Town Hall. Now that's funny.
You married well, grasshopper.
But remember, just cause she's PRETTY, doesn't means she doesn't have BRAINS! (as she's never tired of tellng us)
"Krystal Ball"? Seriously? Or is that her screen name from her prior job?
It's her real name, casimir. Her parents are terribly terribly evil people for that one act alone.
Blue Gal,
I thought "Ball" was a name by marriage, but no. However, according to Wikipedia:
"Ball's father, Edward Ball, was born in West Virginia and has a Ph.D. in physics. Her mother, Rose Marie Ball, is an educator in King George County, Virginia. The name Krystal came from her father, a physicist who did his dissertation on crystals."
As someone with a major in Geology, I think that's rather cool. The Wiccan in me also finds it amusing.

First time I saw Ms. Cupp I thought the glasses were a prop to make her look "intellectual". It reminded me of a SPY magazine cover that showed a bunch of Brat Pack Hollywood twentysomethings, all in similar eyewear, under the heading "The Importance of Looking Earnest".
Yet again, Cupp runneth on empty.
Move over, McArdle, there's a new nerdy dolt in town!
"The Cycle" = "Meet The Press" & "The View" have a secret love-child?
Perhaps this Prozacalicious panel would be somewhat perked up if they shot on location in the prison yard from "Lockup."
