      The important thing is that he feels he has to respond.  We just gotta keep hammerin'.

      I'm so glad he gives out the site name, that's nice.  The second lie he claims is a joke and then paraphrases it, as if it is true. He repeats the lie....and says get over it.

      Lou's voice shakes.  He sounds as though he really knows he's full of sh*t.

       

      But, he babbles on ..., and takes refuge in a conservative staple:  cowardice.

      The insult he delivers to Minnesota ("banana republic") is completely unwarranted and betrays a total lack of knowledge regarding the recount process.  MN's recount has been conducted very carefully, completely in the open, completely according to MN law, on camera and under the observation of both sides.  The Canvassing Board is made up of 2 Ds, 2 Rs, and an independent.  What is Dobbs thinking?  Obviously, he isn't

      For Dobbs to smear the process is unconscionable!  He owes an apology to the Canvassing Board and the state of MN.

        What is most frustrating is that there is no reporting on the recount, only opinion. Dobbs' dismissive "banana republic" statement is indicative of the all opinion, no fact crap that the 24/7 channels spew. It does a disservice to the hard-working election officials of Minnesota, which have recounted tirelessly in an attempt to make democracy work. So Franken won the recount? Deal with it.
