Watching the Sunday news shows can sometimes be a tricky proposition. Just as the panelists begin to face off, the moderators often pivot to another topic or allow the other panelists to digress into their own agendas. By the time the round robin is complete, it's easy to have lost track of who was saying what to whom.

On this occasion, however, Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed held court on Meet The Press pushing back against Peggy Noonan's and Ted Cruz's assertion that veep candidate Paul Ryan is a "serious man".

Favorite Quotes

"Anyone with (Cynthia) Dunbar's animus toward public schools should never be in charge of them or have an important voice on what is in our students' textbooks. It's a travesty that the state's top officials aren't attacking the problems created by this dysfunctional board and demanding that Dunbar step down.

But we will. Dunbar should resign and leave the governing of this state's public schools to people who use them, serve them, care about them and understand that they are the future of Texas."

The Austin American-Statesman (Monday, December 15, 2008), in an editorial calling on far-right member Cynthia Dunbar, R-Richmond, to resign from the State Board of Education.
