Video: National Review’s Lowry destroys Rachel Maddow on Meet the Press

Watch this video to see National Review’s Rich Lowry destroy Rachel Maddow on Meet the Press. He backed her into a corner and wouldn’t let up.

Here’s the transcript the Lowry vs. Maddow exchange:

LOWRY: Do you support $700 billion in cuts in Medicare over the next 10 years?

MADDOW: I’m not running for president.

LOWRY: Do you?

MADDOW: I’m not running for anything. Paul Ryan is running for vice president.

LOWRY: Do you? Why can’t you answer? See, you can’t answer.

MADDOW: But wait, I’m not running for anything.

LOWRY: This is the key vulnerability. Democrats have cut $700 billion out of Medicare which you won’t or can’t defend it. Defend it.

MADDOW: Is it good or bad?

LOWRY: Do you support it? You can’t answer.

MADDOW: But wait. Why are you asking me?

LOWRY: You can’t answer. Because you’re an opinion maker who is supposed to give us your opinion. But you will not tell us what your opinion is?

MADDOW: What I want to know is the logic of . . .

LOWRY: Democrats cannot defend that.

MADDOW: Wait. I want to know is the logic . . .

LOWRY: Go ahead. Defend it.

MADDOW: What I want to know is the logic . . .

LOWRY: [Laughter]

MADDOW: Wait. Rich, hold on.

LOWRY: Answer me. You’re not answering.

MADDOW: Can I say something?

LOWRY: Can you answer?

Video: Trump lets it rip on Fox-Romney should give up tax returns when Obama gives us college, passport records

I certainly don’t agree with Trump on everything, but this particular Fox interview was a home run. In it, Trump asks the question that every rational American should be thinking: why should Romney give up any additional tax returns when Obama is hiding virtually everything, spending at least $4 million to keep much of his past from public view?

Video: Hannity throws Cheney a lifeline to extract himself from Palin mess, but Cheney misses the rope

Hannity colludes with Cheney in an attempt to repair the damage from his assertion last week that Palin was unqualified, not vetted, and a mistake for McCain’s VP. Instead of apologizing, Cheney instead offers (repeatedly) the lame excuse that he was criticizing “process” not Palin.
