him, according to this woman, to fire her at once. they don t even let her get home to tell her side of the story. again, no due process here whatsoever, firing her without hearing her side of the story. i am stunned by the level of panic in this white house. well, making her pull over to the side of the road, joe, and texting her resignation because, quote, you re going to be on glenn beck tonight, unquote. i mean, seriously! mike, give me a break! seriously? is that if that is their biggest concern, they are screwed! they are screwed! yeah, i agree with you. you don t know mooens seriously they are afraid of the guy with the chalkboard? who cry, cries? they are not. stop! if they are scared of him, can we please get somebody else to help us out with iran? because we re screwed. well, let s get as long as we re parsing out these
