  • The story says NBC late night host. Isn’t he actually at TBS? He used to be an NBC years ago. Maybe they meant “Former NBC late night host”

  • Senate Republicans justify these appointments by saying “the President gets to pick his cabinet”, so they quote, give him wide latitude or deference. I say BS. Their job is to advise and consent. If they are just going to rubber stamp all comers then no one is unqualified for these positions. We need to have higher standards no matter who the president is or what party he belongs to. I thought republicans were going to block him unless they get answers on Benghazi? Business as usual in Washington.

  • Burn in hell Hugo…and while your there, say hi to Ted Kennedy, John Murtha and Robert Byrd. Tell them Nancy and Harry aren’t too far behind.

  • The democrats are exploiting this guy. If Heslin believes what he is saying, then he is as dumb as he looks and sounds. He’s obviously not the sharpest tool in the shed, but the dems have no problem trotting him out there to do their bidding. He’s a useful idiot to the democrats and a willing participant. Maybe he’s been told that Tom Hanks will play him when they release the Sandy Hook movie. He’s a low info voter who votes for these goons, who would tell him how to live his life and he’s be happy to accept it.

  • Mr Heflin is too stupid to know that he is being used as a useful idiot by the left. I listened to his testimony and found it lacking in thought. Just a bunch of rambling on about guns he obviously knows nothing about. It was a sad and pathetic performance. I’m sorry he lost his son. It was a tragedy. But what he and the dems are trying to do, would not have prevented Adam Lanza from killing those kids. Mr Heflin’s thinking is being guided by emotion not logic. Knock off the weeping too, I’m not buying it. There were 19 other parents who lost their child and the dems have to settle for a misinformed and grieving Mr. Heflin to carry out their anti-gun campaign.

  • There’s no double Wallace treated Mark Kelly with deference and respect but did not extend the same courtesy to Mr. LaPierre. But LaPierre has been the spokeman for the NRA for 22 years and the NRA is routinely villanized by the media. LaPierre brings this on himself by not being preparred. He’s just not good at being interviewed and he hurts the NRA by being the face of the NRA. That’s why the NRA should get a new spokesman.

  • LaPierre invites the kind of treatment he gets on these programs. He’s easy to slap around because he is not prepared and just not good at it. So guys like Wallace and Schieffer and Gregory can’t resist to take shots at him. LaPierre needs to hire a debate coach if he continues to insist he be the spokesman for the NRA. Maybe hire a PR firm and find a new spokesperson. How about someone who is telegenic with a smile and with good body language. The guy looks so uncomfortable, like he’s having a prostate exam while he’s struggling to make his case.

  • Even Robert Gibbs says he’s never seen Obama skeet shooting. When asked if he has shot skeet with the president or have seen Obama shooting he said NO but didn’t doubt Obama. Gibbs won’t tell a lie that he can get trapped in. If people have shot skeet with the president, I think we would have heard about it or seen the photos. He’s clearly not shooting skeet with the gun horizontal. It looks like a photo op to back up his lie that he shoots skeet all the time.

  • Watching Wayne LaPierre on Fox News Sunday this morning. Can’t the NRA find another spokesman with better communication skills? After 22 years its time to get a spokesman who presents himself and our second amendment point of view in a calm, sensible way that people can understand and accept. He always comes off bad and is hurting the NRA. Please have him step aside and get a confident man or woman who comes off as a happy warrior. He’s always on defense and looks guilty as hell defending the NRA. It pains me to watch him on TV. He’s hurting the good work of the NRA. I’m sure he’s a good man but he shouldn’t be on TV. Apparently nobody else wants the job. Is everyone there afraid to tell him how bad he comes off on TV. For the good of the NRA hire a PR firm and find another spokesperson.

  • If it’s so stressful, then why do ex presidents live so long? It could be that they live pampered carefree lives into their 90′s on the taxpayers dime.
