Morning Joe on a mission to spread blame to Obama

He's been touting a new NBC/WSJ poll claiming that people are beginning to blame Dems and GOP equally if fiscal cliff talks fail. Harold Ford pushing means testing. David Gregory and Michael Steele making excuses for Boehner. The mission is clear: seek vindication.

2. And Tomorrow...

...Mourning Joke will deny what they said today and claim they were right all along about whatever it is they're circle jerking about.

Joey is trying to play both sides...the "reasonable moderate" and then brags about his halcyon daze of the 90s when he was one of the biggest bomb throwers in the House. He's not seeking vindication, he's still trying just to justify his own political existence...

have learned nothing from their crap during the elections.
They disgust me. You'd never know who won the elections and big time.

4. Early today Joe was comparing seniors not wanting to cut Medicare benefits to a family

wanting a fancy kitchen and not paying for their kid's college tuition!

Harold Ford, Jr. said that he could wait til age 67 for HIS Medicare benefits (doesn't he work on Wall St?), but he thinks if someone is "poor" they could go ahead and have their benefits at 65.

That's when my TV got turned off.

5. Poor Harold.

He works soooo hard. He's wealthy and sits on his ass for a living. He can wait until he's 67, because his life won't be any different than it is now -- a life of privilege.

8. Speaking of his cushy life,have you noticed his soft hands? And Joe's too?

When Joe holds up a newspaper and they zoom in closer, I notice Joe has very well manicured, soft hands. They look like a woman's hands because of their delicate shape and small size. Harold's hands look soft like that, only you don't see close ups the way you do with Joe. Both of them have such delicate hands, I'll bet they can do no real physical labor. It makes me wonder about the size and contour of their feet...

6. He is PURE unadulterated corporate apologia on the "cliff"

this morning. They are actually claiming that they polled Walmart shoppers and found that the vast majority of them were very concerned about the fiscal cliff...

My keyboard is destroyed.

And anyone who thinks that Harold Ford is not a wholly owned subsidiary is delusional.

I'm deathly ill with no insurance and on Social Security.

The way those people were ALL talking, they just can't wait until I die.

And, if I won't give up and die, they'll make sure I starve to death.
