Stumped II: Nation's Alterman at Sea Over Syria
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Last week, Newsbusters brought you "Stumped," as April Ryan struggled to cite a single foreign policy success by her super-fave, President Obama. In the best Hollywood tradition, this morning we bring you a sequel--Stumped II: Syria!

On today's Morning Joe, lugubrious lefty Eric Alterman of The Nation mag was stumped when Joe Scarborough asked him what the US should do about Syria. After humming, hawing and a couple of false starts, Alterman asked how much time they had. Right, as if if only he had more time to expand on the nothing he had to say. Shades of that SNL skit in which President George H.W. Bush seeks to skate away from a debate question only to be informed by the moderator that he had plenty more time.

Their answer to everything. Bush’s fault, the Republicans fault, Israel’s fault, some low level flunky who will not get fired fault.

If the a$$hat looked in the mirror, he will see that it is his fault for promoting the fraud of our lifetimes.
