#1 with closed captioning in English.

That's got to be a first. They've resisted for years using that on other programs in their network. Someone must be really p****d.

#2 Someone must be really p****d.

Oh yes, very. They're going to drop the hammer on Barry, question is, will it do any good?

I think Obama is going to lose, most of the time, but I do have my moments of doubt and despair.

#3 My guess is Univision and other hispanic journalists are coming to the realization Fast and Furious has killed thousands (not the mere hundreds the administration dismisses) of Mexicans and is key to the chaos in some parts of the country.

Its good to see some responsible journalism for a change. The Mexican press has spent years blasted the drug cartels and the government corruption, costing several dozen of the reporters their lives.

Too bad our press can't grow a pair and act like the watchers of the watchmen, the Fifth Estate is supposed to be.

#4 Y'know, in real life and with another President, this would result in a Pulitzer.

#6 You could always sell the Pulitzer. Or use it as a blunt object for killing hordes of Zombies.
