Nothing like the WHCD to capture the incestuous cavorting of the most well-paid of the national press with the rich and powerful. Later they will all dance together at the after parties while their whoring rots this nation from the inside out….

Sanford got 38 percent of the vote, but because he didn’t get 50 percent, he’ll have to go into a runoff with his 13 percent closest challenger in April. Colbert got 96 percent of the dem vote….

The thing that has nawed at me since the early aftermath days of 911 was the rush by the Bush Administration to shovel millions of dollars at the families of those killed in the twin towers, though I don’t begrudge the money given to those families. But, when has the government ever done this in any act of terrorism here or abroad before 911? It always seemed to me that it was like these wealthy NeoCons were panicking to both wash the incriminating blood off their own hands through gifting all that money, and buy silence from those widowed as a necessary requirement to nip in the bud any calls to scrutinize the Bush Administration’s story of what happened. It’s like for someone who committed some great sin against an unaware other doing some great deed for that other in order to be able to make manageable the guilt for the awful thing done….

You know, Mary, the thing that has nawed at me since the early aftermath days of 911 was the rush by the Bush Administration to shovel millions of dollars at the families of those killed in the twin towers. When has the government ever done this in any act of terrorism here or abroad. It always seemed to me that it was like these weathy capitalists were determined to both wash the blood off their hands through gifting all that money and buy silence from those widowed as a necessary requirement to nip in the bud any calls to scrutinize the Bush Administration’s story of what happened.

“But I don’t want to go among mad people,” Alice remarked.
“Oh, you can’t help that,” said Michele Bachmann: “we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad.”
“How do you know I’m mad?” said Alice.
“You must be,” said Bachman, or you wouldn’t have come here.”__ Alice in CPACland -

Yep, it’s Chris Hayes. Billiant guy, but, as I said about Klein in my replacement guess, Chris is also in the mold of the polite and elite. He also is more cerebral than Maddow, so notch up the long-winded vocal essays and hope to not be lulled to sleep before Rachel….

Been awhile, but I actually did a MyFDL diary on MSNBC’s booting Ed Schultz from 8PM nightly to its Siberia of late afternoon weekends. Being that Schultz’s ratings were second only to Rachel’s,I explore the likely seamly motive for deep-sixing Ed:

robertarend wrote a new diary post: Ed Schultz and Class Warfare Too Much for MSNBC/Comcast
Ed Schultz is certainly not universally loved in Progressive circles, his concentrated stand on behalf of the American worker in both private and public sector perhaps made unnecessarily irritating to listen too under a blast of bloviating vocal cords and a bullying personality: even though the bully was on our side in the class warfare [...]
