And has a shelf life that's a little shorter than an update about the color of Ashton's socks.

I ignore MSNBC when it goes all gaga over a republican. It happens. And it's over in a couple of news cycles.

Paul played the media and the uninformed like a fiddle. That's the only compliment I can muster about the episode.

The bright side is he said so much crazy shit while he was rambling that it will make for political ad gold.

Msnbc isn't perfect, but it's still pretty darn good most of the time.
