Fluke Russert armchair quarterbacking this morning's pending Boehner immigration fatwa! USA! USA!

On MSNBC.

Apparently Boehner's going to appear before the cameras and warn Obama about playing with matches, running with scissors, mixing beer and wine, and more.

Fluke said that Obama may wait for funding, which would give Boehner & McConnell "breathing room," and how the last thing they want is to shut down the government and hand Obama a "major victory." Or something like that. He's a mush-mouthed little shit and sometimes it's hard to follow his talking points.

He has such an air of condescension about him. He's no better than some of the reporters that are on my local channels. I wouldn't even hire him to be a part-time board op at a radio station.

Just put him on the really early or really late night shows and he'll do ok - not to many people listen to those shows anyway.

He'd probably have trouble punching the buttons and talking at the same time. At least now at radio stations, there aren't any discs to spin. Everything is automated, but he'd still need a producer to do the hard work. He'd probably leave the mic open and say something stupid.
