We're gonna need a bigger Vomit Smilie

God lord. Listening to Andrea Mitchell talking about how Booker's Meet the Press pooch-fuck was one of those refreshing things where somebody speaks from the heart.

See, now this just doesn't get the job done:



Those refreshing things where somebody speaks from the heart are when somebody says something that is true, but that you seldom hear.

Booker was spouting shallow dishonest self-serving nonsense designed to make him look like the grown-up in the (board)room to the detriment of everybody in the world trying to improve things... the canned rhetorical nonsense that the Chamber of Commerce hoses us down with 24/7/365.

He wants to be President. That's no secret. So he said what he knows they would love to hear. "I'm yours."

The financial industry, including Bain, donated $525,000 to his first mayoral campaign. He was widely expected to lose against a long-time mayor, so he raised less than $800,000 total.

This is just paying back the people who own him.

She's particularly been on the warpath of late against Obama's ad about Romney's Bain Capital commercials. Last week I sent an e-mail to MSNBC protesting the fact that she consistently has softball interviews of Republicans while giving Democrats a hard time. Her credibility as a journalist is all but spent and I wonder what she's doing on that network. She's shit.
