Watched Joe this am and when he said the POTUS had 5,000 people at his rally for Coakley in Boston yesterday it just reinforced what I knew about him already. The capacity of the hall where Coakley spoke is 2,500 people, I watch her and Barry speak and the camera panned around to show some EMPTY seats so there were not even 2500 people present. Joe has been carrying water for PMSNBC’s left wing GE bosses since he started there.
Just looking who he had on as guests today tells you everything you need to know about the politics of his show. ALL liberals, from the former mayor of New Orleans, to Bob Frum, to Mark Halperin, to Prissy Chris Mathews. They were all apopleptic about about possible Coakley loss, which made watching them at least tolerable.
Every once in a while even he has a V-8 moment. I think Joe is about due for one.
When I think about all those conservative floor speeches he used to give during the Clinton impeachment days I just shake my head. It would be comical if it weren't so pathetic.
Some people just cannot be bought. Obviously Joe ain't one of them.
I caught that remark too. Notice he threw it out there immediately? I think it was the first line in his script.
Some less-generous person might even call it a lie.
