The likes of Chuck Todd pissing on my leg day after day and not having the common decency to even call it rain is a bit much. Yeah Chuck I know job isn't to be weather man but I think you're missing the point.

I'm glad this issue is surviving beyond one day. The idea that the political director of a major news organization believes he has no role in keeping the consumers of his product informed is beyond the pale. Whether or not the White House "sells" ACA or not does not absolve you from informing the public. I don't care if the White House Press Secretary starts conducting press conferences in Vulcan. Your job is to inform the public regardless and if that means hunting down some Trekker nerd and having him translate every word from Vulcan to English that's what you do.
