And Glenn -- the "concision" game

Glenn, it might be a funny game to try to figure out how to construct your sentences for any of these TV / radio appearances so that they *cannot* easily edit out the significant context bits.

I.e., it must be in the middle of a sentence or part of the basic sentence construction such that it's too obvious if it's removed.

Normally I'd say it's just an impossible task, but you did so well on Moyers that I'd say you have a shot.

Think of it as the "anti-editing game" or something.

I disagree with Glenn and all the liberal extreme CIA critics

Although it may be true that none of you have said such things, it is irresponsible that all you crazy bloggers want our CIA run by Bill Ayers and Al Qa'ida and by one of our Founding Fathers.

This is an impossible standard that cannot be met, and we are fortunate that the sophisticated news gatherers at Fox News called you out for saying that our Homeland Security Department should now be run by non-human primates, as I don't think any of you liberals have thought through the consequences should a national crisis arise and we have no one to turn to but orangutans, although admittedly they might perform as well as the Bush Jr. appointees.
