"What people like Costello don’t understand is that just because God calls on someone to run for president, that doesn’t mean God always intends for them to become president.

Speaking of Blitzer, Rush has this: When Will the Media Do an Anal Exam of Obama Like They Do of Every Republican? "From what I'm being told, Wolf Blitzer is rehearsing various retorts to Newt Gingrich, and he and his staff are trying to think of various things that Newt might say to insult them. It's sort of like preparing for hecklers."
Newsbusters: MSNBC's Hyper-Partisan Bashir: You May Need a Bath After Watching Tonight's GOP Debate "Playing off of Newt Gingrich's applause line that Occupy protesters need to "go get a job right after [they] take a bath," MSNBC anchor Martin Bashir introduced two liberal guests on his eponymous program to pre-game tonight's Republican debate on CNN by grousing that, "Indeed, a bath is exactly what you may need after watching tonight's Republican debate on foreign policy."
