On Thursday's Today show, NBC's chief White House correspondent Chuck Todd started building the narrative for the liberal media to spout in case the Republicans win majorities in the House and Senate in the upcoming midterms - that the voters are just cranky about everyone and everything. Todd even went on to absurdly state that if the GOP has a big win it will still be seen as a "A bad election night for all of Washington." All of Washington? Even for the party that is victorious?
Todd, on with Today co-anchor Ann Curry, came up with that conclusion after reciting results from a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll that showed "Everybody is angry at all things Washington" as Todd noted "Democrats hit an all-new high in their negative rating. Republicans have even a higher negative rating. The Tea Party, which had enjoyed a positive rating for awhile, now they have a negative rating." Todd, then, went on to prematurely throw cold water on any sort of GOP win as he claimed: "If the Republicans get the majorities, it's because people have decided to go into the ballot box and hold their nose, they're not happy with anybody."
The following is the full transcript of the segment as it was aired on the August 12 Today show:

Chuck Todd - mouthpiece for the Marxist Muslim Kenya Regime.
A bad night for Washington is a good night for America.
NewsBusters: watching this crap so that I don’t have to.
It would be great fun to watch them trying to hide how mortified they are.
I plan on a big popcorn night.
“A bad election night for all of Washington” is EXACTLY the same as a good election night for the rest of the country.
Didn’t Peter Jennings say something similar the last time the GOP creamed the Dems? “Last night America threw a tantrum” or something to that effect, like a bunch of stupid children acting on emotion instead of logic.
Were it not already there I would say that Washington can go to Hell.
Yup....correct quote..hey, maybe they’ll dig up Pauline Kael (sp?) next...
Chuck Todd is totally biased. He’s a Democrat lover and apologist. But even a blind squirrel finds a nut now and then:
“If the Republicans get the majorities, it’s because people have decided to go into the ballot box and hold their nose, they’re not happy with anybody.”
He’s right with that one. Republicans were tossed out in 06 and 08, and have done nothing to change their image.
“Winning is Bad for Republicans” mantra.
I’ll take all the Bad I can get!
I will not be holding my nose. I will be voting with MUCH enthusiasm, as will MANY other conservatives across the country.

“He’s wrong.
I will not be holding my nose. I will be voting with MUCH enthusiasm, as will MANY other conservatives across the country.”
I refuse to put on blinders and gleefully vote for a party that’s abused my trust. Republicans are better than Democrats, but in some cases, not by much.
What has the GOP done to win your favor since they got thrown out for being big government, high spenders?
I’ll vote R, with my a clothespin on my nose. Trust me, there are many like me.
The Tsunami coming in November is just the first installment.
It is TIME to DownSize DC!
You’re right. Theres Washington D.C. and then theres the rest of the country.
