Hume and Wallace spar over Romney/McCain Liar-fight
By John Amato Saturday Jan 26, 2008 7:15pm
I found this little exchange odd. I can't remember Chris Wallace arguing with Brit Hume and his all star panel over a topic and see him try to torpedo Brit's opinion. I posted the video on this yesterday. McCain is saying that Romney talked about timetable withdrawals in the Iraq war on ABC News and Romney's saying he didn't.
Hume: Part of our jobs as journalists is to state things with clarity and words matter. Wallace: I don't think either of them said it with much clarity. Hume was actually lecturing Wallace on journalistic ethics and then seemed force to back track. ![](http://static.crooksandliars.com/files/uploads/2008/01/humebrit.jpg"></a></p>

Guess they can't get enough of the taste of "eating their own".
Works for me, LOL ;-)
Let em' scratch each other's eyes out!
Is Brit Hume "alive"? Or is he an autoton?
I've seen more expression or emotion in Madame Tussaud's wax museum.
Of course, this is what happens when you are taught to be "intellectually lazy" working for an ethically bankrupt and journalistically void organization, such as Faux news
What's the line from Mississippi Burning? "Down here we say the rattlesnakes are starting to committ suicide."
EXTRA, EXTRA... READ ALL ABOUT IT:
SHILLS CRASH AND BURN!
These two asswipes are Journalists ?? I think not..
hardy-harh-har.
fux fight! :)
funniest thing is that these two are fighting over which repug is a worse liar.
Hey John Amato--something wrong with your spell-check? Jeebus, how's about a little quality control on your posts, man? Love the site, but you're killing me with all the typos...
Aren't these clowns (Romney and McCain) fighting about something that the majority of Americans disagree with? It seems that the republicans (except for Paul) are so very out of touch with the what the people want, even when they are trying for the public vote.
Am I wrong? Does anybody think that "the majority of Americans disagree with a timetable for the Iraq war"? Even when you consider that Romney and McCain may only be interested in the voting republican opinion, aren't they still making a mistake?
How can anyone face down that famous Hume hound-dog face....
and remember the argument, without laughing? He has super-powers we cannot fathom.
"Hume: Well, Romney did in fact talk about time tables. (sighs in frustration)"
Doesn't Hume always sigh?
Did Wallace slip away to Oz to get a heart? Sorta looks like he got a refurb on sale.
Brit Hume...journalist. Now that's pretty fucking funny...
Hey Brit. You were right!!! Wallace is coming across as a slimy ,arrogant man. Stand up for honest journalism!!! Wallace needs to go...he's the bad apple in the group.
CRIPPLE FIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
EMPY @ 17:
Now that's funny!
Hume: Part of our jobs as journalists is to state things with clarity and words matter.
Is he allowed to say that on Fox? Oh, sorry. Forgot for a minute. Empty rhetoric is their forté.
that was great!
I don't care for either Hume or Wallace, but it's nice to see Hume squirm when confronted with the facts.
Amazing how these professional journalists can leave their personal opinions at home. Since they are such professionals, it’s hard to tell who they support, but I’m going out on a limb and say that Hume supports Romney and Wallace supports McCain. However, this is purely conjecture on my part. (Needless to say, snark off.)
You've got a stronger stomach than I do to sit still and listen to those two twits pontificate.
Simple. They're both rePIG-licans. That makes them both liars.

Aww. I feel bad for them. Cognitive dissonance is so painful. If only Ronald Reagan would rise from the dead and bring them back to a simplier time.
Clearly, they are all republican propagandists but they can't agree on whom to smear. Of course, it will all be simple for them again after the primaries.
Hume: Part of our jobs as journalists is to state things with clarity and words matter.
WOW just wow, I through up in my mouth just a little bit.
It's difficult to imagine Hume and Wallace having a dispute on the topic of 'Liars'.
One would expect absolute unity from them, with both taking the 'Pro' position.
(you knew this was a-com'in) DUMB AND DUMBER
Hume...a journalist? A partisan Hack was what he meant to say.
What the h difference does it make? They are BOTH STILL preaching that there WERE weapons of mass destruction in IRAQ, that there ARE WMDs in IRAN, that IRAN is STILL interfering in Bush's WAR. No wonder McCain's own mother says republicans would have to Hold Their Nose while they vote. McCain loves to call himself a "Straight Shooter". Yeah he shoots the same bullet of LIES over and over and over AGAIN ad nauseum, right on target. SURE MAKES ME SICK. They ALL disgust me.
Who cares about the politicians not talking straight, that's news? Maybe the corporate lackey pundits need to be talking straight. The USA voters are not going to vote for another Republican. Whoever gets nominated for the Repubicans is going to go down in history as an "Also Ran." Whoever wins the democratic nomination (probably February 5 th Super Tuesday will tell us) will be elected president.
Watching Wallace and Hume was a little like watching the bitch fight in the Alltel commercials, with the two geeks trying to slap each other from long distance.
But no one brought the nunchuks.....

Amen to that! Let them burn each other at the stake!

I agree the public vote will go towards the democrats, however the election system is not fair. I think the republicans still have a chance.

I am always amazed at the tremendous size of Brits Cranium. I understand it is at the size limit for a Wingnuts head without surgery, But I'd be willing to bet he has had some surgical expansion.
Brit Hume always looks like he's smelling something.
Hume's a jornalist? Get out!
Journalist. It's Monday.
You write: "I can’t remember Chris Wallace arguing with Brit Hume and his all star panel over a topic and see him try to torpedo Brit’s opinion."
Hey, Snit Fume and Chrissy-pooh are entitled to a lovers' spat now and then. Surely once the cameras were turned off, they kissed and made up.
