MSNBC - they cleaned 'em out for a while, but now they're all coming back
I had given up most of my MSNBC watching. Then it seemed not so bad. But now, we seem to be going back. Last week, Ramesh Ponnuru showed up with his incipid little voice and snarky attitude. Now I see that Ron Christie is back, too. Major Garret has been too in evidence, as well.

Soon enough, they'll be back to the same bunch as were there during their years fellating the bushies.

3. I believed Rachel explained this to her audience the other night.
This is Election Seasons. Democrats do not have a Primary.
Obama is our candidate. The Republicans have a wide open
primary. The Political New is elections. The Republicans
are going to have a major portion of coverage because they
have the Primary and are the news.

4. Were that the case, then these guests would be limited by the hosts to answering questions . . . .
. . . about repubicans. But they aren't. They start there on a few pro forma questions and then bash the Democrats broadly and Obama more narrowly, for the rest of their face time.

5. Unfortunately that is what the election is about. Republicans are
going to use every opportunity to bash Obama and Dems.
They want them out of office. That is what elections
are about. The Democrats should be going after the
Republicans. Oh, I forgot that would make "us lke them."

when the sh*t being forced down our throats becomes more than we can swallow. I don't give a flying fig whether "we are like them" or "they are not like us" or what have you. I won't listen to bloviating wingnuts, end of story. If enough people think as I do and it hurts MSNBC ratings, oh frigging well. Personally I let my fingers do the walking over to Current and Keith Olbermann.
