MSNBC host accuses Republicans of political posturing on Underpants Bomber
OfficialWire ^ | Indepundit

Liberal host Ed Schultz tried to paint the entire Republican argument as “political posturing” and challenged Rivkin, saying he was pitting his credibility against the word of Brennan. But Rivkin remained adamant that officials would not have simply assumed Miranda rights were being given automatically. Rivkin also pointed out that there should be less blame cast by both sides and more attention to the underlying failures in common sense procedure.

“We’re talking about somebody who is interrogated for 50 minutes, that interrogation was interrupted and he is Mirandized. I don’t know of any serious interrogator who does not believe that we should have a go at him for several weeks,” Rivkin said.

This Ed guy on MSNBC is really fair and balanced alright. Look at him trying to defend the Obama administration total mishandling of the crotch bomber. Rivkin calls him on it during his show. http://www.officialwire.com/main.php?action=posted_news&rid=94079

MSNBC can’t handle the fact that “It is what it is”. They are trying to make it into something it isn’t and they don’t realize how dumb they look. Their politics are getting in the way and they can’t see it. Continuing on this way will surely be the death of MSNBC.

The sad part for Ed Schultz is that he gets more attention on Free Republic then he does on MSNBC.

Who spiked the kool aid over at PMSNBC? It's like the patients running the asylum over there! One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest has got nothing on this!

These people do not even make a curve. . .disgusting. Their only reponse is to play the bad 'political' word (resonates in polls for the mindless). They certainly cannot defend themselves with anything substantial.

They are an altogether pathetic collective.

Headlines like this give them an excuse to posture in their own underwear.

It may be the only way left to grab a viewer or two before they implode completely.

Just for time comparison, someone should point out that most workers get an hour for lunch.

That means this bozo was interrogated for less time than the average person’s lunch hour takes for lunch.

I wonder what kind of an effect that will have on all eight of their viewers?

This fool is merely echoing the White House line, as stated Sunday by Mr. Brennan. He’s no journalist, he’s not even a commentator, he’s a large echo chamber for the White House.

Can we stop posting this imp? This is more advertising than this idiot deserves. Put him back in his padded room and let his audience of 6 people have a rest!
