Oh to be a fly on the NBC cafeteria wall next time Joe Scarborough and Chris Matthews run into each other. On today’s Morning Joe, Scarborough singled out Hardball as an example of the cable shows he doesn’t watch because their guests “vomit bad information” for which they’re cheered.

Scarborough slammed Bob Baer, a former CIA agent, who on yesterday’s Hardball claimed “you cannot rely on torture,” and that the interrogation of Khalid Sheikh Mohamed and Abu Zubaydah produced only “fantasies” that “got us nowhere.” Reacting to the report that KSM had been waterboarded 183 times, Baer declared: “I can pretty well safely say the man is brain-dead.”

Baer’s comments unleashed a torrent of criticism from Scarborough.

I don’t understand GE’s fascination with these mindless fascist sycophants, except, that GE want to feast on the green droppings of the One.

I doubt this is true, but even if it is, I’d be OK with that.
I would say the job is half done.

GE’s management is smarter than you think. They will count their profits from MSNBC in $Billions, not from measly ad revenue, but from getting the contract to build Obama’s “smart grid”.
