"Honestly, can someone please tell us just how we ever elected this clown President(?)"

As I remember it, the media anointed him early in the democrap primaries with all sorts of "up-close-and-personal" pieces. The angle was that he was a Naval Academy grad and a brainy atomic submariner. He was an unknown mediocrity until then. What we got was the worst president in history to that point. Incredibly Clinton managed to make Carter look like a statesman by comparison.

In short, we have the media to thank for Carter's election and Clinton to thank for lending him some relative public stature in his old age. If skerry were elected we might be looking back at the Clinton years as the "good old days."

This is tough. So many a-holes, so little time. Jimmah, of course, could retire the award if there weren't so many trying to squeeze him out. Joe Biden makes me ill even if I just catch a glimpse of his doll-hair when channel surfing. Richard Holbrooke the same. But THIS week I think you should consider Lawrence O'Donnell for his outrageous rant against the Swifties on Scarborough Country. This Demo pissant and strategist raised the level of discussion by screaming "Liar" at John O'Neill about forty times in two minutes and refusing to permit any response. Thank God that nobody watches MSNBC. Or maybe it would be better if more did. Absolute jerk.
