"MSNBC is the cable news employer of last resort."

Yes, just like a welfare program for homeless news readers.

I can. Eric Hoffer's book "The True Believer" makes the assertion that people who feel that they did not earn their good fortune (perhaps young Ron jr) feel that they must compensate by "altruistic" actions (as embodied by the liberal left).

It's a good study that supports TS Eliot's quote (ht Thomas Sowell)

Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves. -- T. S. ELiot3

He apparently misses his "favorite show" because he "has been on it several times."

I missed that. Of course, Cliff Kincaid is no household word in the field of journalism. His writing over the years has mostly been of the kind that appears in those boxes that say, "Take One."

I tuned in once last week, only to discover that he was still wasting valuable airtime bantering with liberal lesbian Rachel Maddow.

LOL! The first time I saw Rachel I thought she was a gay guy.

The most lucerative show on MSNBC is a radio program, Imus in the Morning.

Tucker Carlson...wasting valuable airtime bantering with liberal lesbian Rachel Maddow

"She" is creepy. More so than Colin Powell prancing around on stage in a dress.

I didn’t need to read any transcripts of the Chris Matthews MSNBC Hardball show to know what’s he’s been doing. It’s a safe bet he was hyping some Bush-related “scandal.”

Actually it's ALWAYS Plamegate even though that "scandal" has pretty much Fitzled out. Matthews, however, will NEVER let it go.

" Kinda makes you feel all warm inside."

Like babies do when they need a diaper change.

Can you imagine having an ornament on your Christmas tree with the O’Reilly Factor logo on it? Do people actually buy these things? Or give them away as gifts?

They give them as gifts to people they are pissed at.

Professional wrestling is fake?

More sad news, Nick and Jessica broke up.

Truman Capote ? !!! That's hilarious.

MSNBC should put Pat Buchanan back on the air. He's got a wonderful disposition, he's extremely knowledgeable and well read, and he's always thought provoking.

I don't always agree with Pat, but he's better than 95% of these talking heads, many of whom still end their sentences in prepositions.

That can't possibly be true. What are you some kind of Grinch?

Hanging Bill's balls on the tree? What's wrong with that?

$149.95 for a "No Spin Zone" Varsity Jacket. It's what all the hip kids want for Christmas this year.

I just heard on MSNBC that Brittney Spears had a baby and Brad Pitt and Angela Jolie is going to adopt the child then let Jennifer Aniston breast feed it.

Is that jacket at least leather? For that price it should be. BTW, why is O'Reilly shilling all these trinkets? What? He doesn't already make enough money?

I frequently disagree with Pat, but at least he has something serious to say, as opposed to this tabloid BS cable news has degenerated in to.
