but rosenthal will not go quietly. >> relax. >> walsh needs another set of handcuffs.he calls for backup, the cameraman questions the officer's use of force. >> why did you have to hit her with a closed fist? you socked this girl. >> yes, i did, sir. >> she's underage. >> i don't care. >> you don't care? >> she's going to fight with me, i'll fight with her. >> she didn't put up a fight. >> soon, backup arrives. >> take all the picture you want but back up. >> sure, sure. >> but the incident is far from over. the cameraman sells the video to news outlets across the country. and walsh's punch goes viral. >> a scuffle over a jay-walking ticket that ended with a police officer punching a 17-year-old girl in the face. >> we got calls all over the country and all over the world about it. >> james kelly was president of the seattle urban league at the time. >> well, it was, i felt, unnecessary. a full blown violence of a punch to the face was just wrong. but at the same time i also felt like what the young woman did to the police officer was wrong as well. so my whole analysi

i think it was uncalled for, but andrew rosenthal of the times also thinks it was racist. that he would never do that to a white president. then the next person is speaker john boehner. you remember when barak obama wanted to speak to a joint session of congress on the very day that the republicans were holding a debate on national television, and john boehner said, hey, do it one day later. just one day later. well, this is also racist to the "new york times" editorial page editor, even though a more thoughtful journalist would wonder if barak obama picked the day of the debate intentionally to cause trouble. then newt gingrich is a racist because he said barak obama is the greatest food stamp president in american history. never mind that most people on food stamps are white, not black, and finally, mitt romney is a racist because he said president obama wants to create an entitlement society. so that makes him a racist. bill what, this comes down to is this: as this campaign heads to the finish line in november, any republican who criticizes barak obama, domestic policy

david rosenthal is the one you want editing this book. >> what makes them so special? >> he has worked with everybody. he worked with some of my idols. he worked with hunter s. thompson. at the most, his fingerprints are on a lot of the best books. >> what in your opinion in this book is the farthest you went about anybody or anything that makes people nervous? >> my guess would be the most uncomfortable aspect of the book will be my depiction of general david petraeus has been widely regarded as the hero of the iraq war and afghanistan. i offer a very different picture from what one is accustomed to when you read about general petraeus. >> like what? >> i quote some of his colleagues talking about him. the knock on him from his colleagues, there's a lot in the involvement in this, too. there's also truth. when he comes up he makes everyone before him look like a total idiot. i used from your language in the book. there's a great quote from another in general. petraeus leads the dead dog on the doorstep every time. this is a very popular indictment of the record from i

andrew rosenthal, who holds a very important position in american journalism, he's the editorial pagetore of the "new york times," wrote on the times web site, and i'm going to read you two sentences, bill. he said: there has been a racist undertone to many of the republican attacks leveled against president obama for the last three years and in a stunning presidential campaign. you can detect this undertone in the level of disrespect for this president that would be unthinkable were he not an african-american. then he goes on to give some examples. the first example is, joe wilson, congressman who shouted, you lie, to president obama. i think joe wilson was wrong. i think it was rude. i think it was uncalled for, but andrew renthal of the times also thinks it was racist. that he would never do that to a white president. then the next person is speaker john boehner. you remember when barak obama wanted to speak to a joint session of congress on the very day that the republicans were holding a debate on national television, and john boehner said, hey, do it one day later. just one day

andrew rosenthal wrote about the recent horrors of polygamy. after the failed pennsylvania senator made this comment, he put an ugly sweater vest on over the sweater vest he was already wearing. so it is to further prove that he mimz -- that he himself is not a homosexual. greg? >> no, he just wants sweater vests. >> and what is being cold if not hetero. >> occupy wall sthreet -- wall street still has cash in its bank account and some want to become investors. the group is about 300 grand left after raising 700 between october and january. and they are taking suggestions on how to spend the loot. among the you proposals, burn it all on a bonfire on wall street. split the cash among the occupy yes, sirs, set aside money to help jailed comrades, buy a house for homeless protesters or an upstate farm to provide food, or buy a 1952 topps mickey man tell card and would have to take turns holding it. donations have dried up, but some protesters turned up in new hampshire to heckle chris chris stey. he was stumping for romney and seemed cowed. >> need

a tractor-trailer rosenthal. >> thank you. 41 degrees in burke. >> the caps continue to surge.. >> he's fathered 14 kids to help childless companies. is his bank really saved? what are the medical risks? >> hiv and hepatitis. hello! honey? who's she? downy unstopables. here to shake up p your fresh. like a cheerleader on espresso. toss these little scent boosters in before you wash. and the fresh scent will last until you're ready to wash again. [ buzzer ] [ laughs ] [ both sniff ] and this fresh scent will last? it's like you shoved a rainbow up your nose. i should go. downy unstopables. the fresh too feisty to quit. >> down under. the perfect time for the australian open. overnight, american ryan anderson gave andy murray a test. the brit won in 2 set. top seeds novac, joke ofdjokovic and nadal. >> mike green of the caps will have abdominal surgery. he will be out six weeks. they are climbing in the eastern conference. they take on the islanders tonight. orlov scored the game winner the other night. he gets another chance against the islanders tonight. >> good teams find ways

. >> and, you know, and according to the data you used, if you use the pool and rosenthal data, which a lot of political scientists use, same in the house. no overlap anymore in the house. and that's the congress obama was coming to town with to work with. and i do think it's fair to criticize obama for his analysis of politics on the edge of his presidency. you know, i went back and reread "the audacity of hope," and you read those sections about red america and blue america, and they still read very, as very inspiring on the page, but they don't describe the country we live in, frankly, in terms of political polarization. and you know, i think he learned that very, very quickly. i mean, he learned it with the stimulus debates. when a document in the piece, his aides came to him and said, mr. president, we want to get this deal done in the senate, and the way we want to get it done is by you sacrificing your priorities. that's going to show the other side that they have a real partner here to work with. and that's in one of the memos. and he goes through item by item, the president o

joining us now to weigh in is former virginia attorney general and now an attorney, steve rosenthal.u think it's unfair? >> well, yeah. i do think it's unfair and it's virginia voters who suffer from the unfairness. the problem is that there are no rules for how you determine the qualifications and the state party chairman of each party makes the final decision and in this case, the candidates were treated differently depending on how many petitions were filed. >> brian: i heard the allegations are, you need 10,000 signatures, right? and you have to make sure they're authentic signatures and i heard some people attest to the fact that rick perry and newt gingrich's signatures were not looked at the same way that mitt romney and ron paul. have you heard the same thing? >> i've heard the same thing. indeed, i heard that anybody, any candidate who filed more than 15,000 petitions, that they were not looked at at all. >> brian: in the meantime, mitt romney and ron paul are on the ballot. and with the current attorney general says is i'm not going to change things now because it's not fai
