Did anyone else see Rattner getting red in the face on Morning Joe today?

They were discussing the new Romney ad quoting "Democrats" who were praising private equity and they showed both Rattner and Harold Ford, Jr. on a previous Morning Joe!

Rattner was clearly uncomfortable. He turned red as he was begging Joe not to make him say anything else that would embarrass him!

I laughed out loud. Too bad Ford wasn't on today so he could suffer eternal shame...I don't expect real shame on the part of Rattner, who strikes me as pretty amoral when it comes to whatever Democratic cred he has left (or ever had, for that matter, which I am constantly questioning). But Ford has some family history with the party and you'd expect him to feel it...

What a joy to watch Rattner squirm...gotta hand it to Scar for essentially outing these two traitors...

Real Democrats don't. The 3 that he touts as Dems aren't: Ford, Rattner and Booker. CTyankee May 2012 #2
Ford is a blug dog dem. He now works on Wall Street so I expect him to tow that line. southernyankeebelle May 2012 #3
He thinks we don't know that, doesn't he? CTyankee May 2012 #4
Yes, and to think I voted for him against Corker. Hell he is no better than Corker. southernyankeebelle May 2012 #5
I felt that way about my votes way back when for Joe Lieberman. CTyankee May 2012 #6

They are Joe's 3 stooges. You don't see real Dems doing what they have done. Go down your list of dedicated Progressives and NOT ONE has gone on Joe's show and dissed their own party.

Joe has his favorite little "stable" of what he calls Dems so he can trot them out for show.

Actually, this makes Joe look inept...
