Chuck Todd is Officially Irrelevant

Eulogizes Eric Holder as "a non-political person"

Whatever shred of actual relevancy Chuck Todd hoped to achieve as the new moderator of “Meet the Press” just collapsed yesterday during his MSNBC interview regarding the resignation of Attorney General Eric Holder. Chuck Todd eulogizes Eric Holder as “a non-political person”:

“He did a lot of the tough stuff that you would say, ‘Hey, the attorney general has to do tough stuff, this is not a forgiving job, you have to do tough stuff. But, what’s interesting about him, he is a very non-political person. And I think people used to mistakenly think that this guy was this long-time political operative who happened to be an attorney general. That’s not him at all.”

The MSM has made itself an utter joke for years.

Holder is “a non-political person”. Obviously, Chucky hasn’t been paying attention for the past 8 years.

"a non-political person"

A racial person.

MSNBC isn’t the only left wing mediot controlled pseudo news outlet with problems of reality re Eric Holder, Obozo’s top black racist thug. Read this about the Compost and their beloved black racist thug:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3208492/posts

ow. The Washington Post either has a really weird sense of humor, or they are wildly disconnected from the political atmosphere in America. In an opinion piece (I know, it’s kinda hard to tell nowadays) writer Mark Maske speculated on a possible career option for Eric Holder, now that he has resigned from the position of Attorney General. According to Maske, Holder should lend his credibility and professionalism to the troubled NFL… And no, I don’t think this was satire. According to the WashPo:

Here is one bit of unsolicited advice for the NFL: Hire Eric H. Holder Jr. and put him in charge of all off-field player discipline. Do it as soon as possible. And hope that it helps to restore the public’s trust and confidence in the sport’s ability to deal with players’ off-field misbehavior.

Wait… We are talking about the Eric H. Holder Jr., right? I mean, we’re talking about the guy that tapped the phones of reporters, was found to be in contempt of Congress, and funneled money from sketchy lawsuits to progressive non-profits? Because if so, I think poor Mark might need to get out of his Liberal beltway bubble and visit with a few folks from the rest of America on occasion.

In fact, the haplessly loyal columnist wouldn’t even have to go that far to get a little perspective on the absurdity of his comments. Apparently Maske feels that Holder would help to restore the public trust in the NFL… But a recent NBC/ Wall Street Journal poll seems to tell a different story. Only 15 percent of Americans currently hold a “positive” view of Obama’s Attorney General, while 32 percent (over twice as many, for those of you learning Common Core Math) have a “negative” view. In fact, four times as many people have a “very negative” view of Obama’s chief extortionist, than those who hold a “very positive” view.

But, maybe opinion polls can’t tell the whole story… Maybe Mark thinks that a little “social justice” would be good for the NFL. Maybe what the league really needs is a racial activist to inject a little divisiveness into the conversation. (I can only assume Mark believes Al Sharpton is too busy learning how to read from his teleprompter to fill this role.)

Maske’s curiously out-of-touch commentary continued:

Holder undoubtedly will have options for what to do next. But the NFL pays well.

Yeah, it does… Especially for a non-profit. (The Clinton family is taking note, I’m sure.)

The title — deputy commissioner, assistant commissioner, special assistant to the commissioner, NFL discipline czar — wouldn’t matter. The responsibilities would. Holder would need to have a major say, if not the major say, in determining what the NFL does next to address its issues with player misconduct in the wake of the Ray Rice, Adrian Peterson and Greg Hardy cases.

I know this is a little off topic, but why is the term “czar” so popular among Leftists? Are Dems really that in love with Russian style authoritarianism?

But more importantly, it might behoove the Washington Post to get slightly more in touch with the political mood of the nation. It takes a pretty isolated progressive insider to think that Eric Holder would boost the credibility of the NFL among mainstream America. Maybe while we’re at it, Mark, we can put Nancy Pelosi in charge of women’s outreach and have Joe Biden in charge of communications.

I have to wonder if F Chuck is really that stupid, or does he say these things just to rile us up?

Let’s face it liberals can’t cut it in either TV or radio because being angry and judgemental makes for bad ratings. Remember Airhead America? Mario Cuomo and the Jesse Jackson radio shows. The current lineup at MSLSD. Unless they’re non-political entities like The Oprah, Ellen, or The View no one will watch or listen.

The Washington Compost is advocating Holder to run the NFL in order to restore public trust.
“He did a lot of the tough stuff that you would say, ‘Hey, the attorney general has to do tough stuff, this is not a forgiving job, you have to do tough stuff. But, what’s interesting about him, he is a very non-political person. And I think people used to mistakenly think that this guy was this long-time political operative who happened to be an attorney general. That’s not him at all.”
Like running guns to drug cartels, ignoring voter intimidation, and pushing a racist agenda in Florida, Oakland, Missouri, etc? Those weren't that tough, Upchuck was right there with the rest of the partisan media shills, enabling Holder in everything he's done.

In a culture where all are Stalinists, all are “non political.”
