What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSenator Bernie Sanders told MS NOW this week that it is imperative Democrats win the House so someone can put a check on what he called the most dangerous president in history.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI love a check! Checks and balances are just accountability with a good attitude, and honestly this is a growth opportunity for the whole country.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorA check only works if the other side lets you cash it, Vera, and nobody ever does.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorIt's a bounced cheque with a campaign logo on it.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorDale, you've put a storm cloud on a ballot box. Warning, there is a doom crossing ahead, please slow down and let the optimists through.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorLet me finish.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorBoth parties say they want a check on power, until the power is theirs, and then the check becomes a lovely little suggestion.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorBoth parties.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorAnd that's why we need a check on Dale's time at this desk. I propose a ninety-second limit, enforced by a very polite bell.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorA bell? That is how every dictatorship starts, with a polite little bell. I want a lawyer and a second bell.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorCan I just say, a second bell is a coalition, and I respect that.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorI'd like to put a check on this panel. Three people, one microphone, and the only branch of government here still working is me.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorNobody lets me finish, because nobody ever has.
