Jon Meacham nails the distinction between Republicans and yesterday's witnesses.

[mnhtnbb]

I happened to catch this comment from presidential biographer Jon Meacham earlier on Morning Joe. I've been chuckling about it ever since.

He was comparing the level of competence, character, and integrity of the two witnesses yesterday, Ambassador Taylor and Deputy Assistant Secretary Kent, with the Republicans who were asking them questions.

He referred to Taylor and Kent as "the wise ones" and the Republicans as "the wise guys", alluding to them as undoubtedly taking their marching orders from their mafioso boss, Don the Con.

It was a great comparison.

1. I suspect there was coordination going on during the break

The Dumbest Don may have tuned Jacketoff Jordan's screech for just the right pitch.

4. Best ever

You rocked it with Jacketoff Jordan. That is the best name tag in history. I am certain he did that at Ohio State. Damn, thank you for the nose spew of hot tea. Well worth the mess. Someone hash tag this, I am tech illiterate. Jacketoff Jordan. Brav.....freakin......OOO!

6. saw it here on DU

Someone with a name I can't pronounce posted "Gym Jacketoff Jordan" and it seemed perfect to me.

5. A caller on Stephanie Miller just broadcast "Jacketoff Jordan" to the masses.

He credited a post he saw on DU. You’re famous!

that mentions "Jacketoff Jordan".

12. That was me.

From Asheville. This tag needs to stick on Jordan. Perfectly attached to a pediphile like Jordan. I hope it was radio appropriate, Shaun did not dump me, so spread it far. Libs are much better at this than Childboy TRump.

13. Kudos!

Stephanie’s caller only mentioned something he saw on DU, without crediting a specific poster. This thread was the first and only place I’d seen it.

2. Priceless Jon Meacham.

Understatement of the decade? He sure has a way with words..... and wisdom!

3. I didn't realize he had been Editor in Chief of Newsweek

or an Executive Editor at Random House. I thought he was more of a presidential historian type like Michael Beschloss.

It definitely explains his way with words.
