Tuning in Morning Joe today, I half expected to discover on the set some professional mourners imported from North Korea, keening and crying over the political demise of Jon Huntsman.
Huntsman had had the Morning Joe crowd from hello. The overwhelming winner of the bien-pensant MSM primary was amazingly popularexcept with actual Republican voters, who didn't dig his moderate positioning and a tone that some found . . . well, how do you say "supercilious" in Mandarin? Taking today's cake was Joe Scarborough finding Huntsman's "moderate temperament" Reaganesque, and claiming that in rejecting Huntsman, Republicans have "turned their backs" on Ronald Reagan.

Outstanding!
the only thing shocking to me is that Romney has done any better than Huntsman.
they are both awful.
The only reason Romney is leading is because the MSM has been playing whack-a-mole with any candidate who has a hint of Conservatism, and we’ve responded to it.
While I'm at it, here are a couple from the past. Katherine Harris.
Katherine Harris would have made a FINE Senator, as she is already ‘fine’. Heh.
Good choice.
Don’t know Morning Joe but if he compares Huntsman to Reagan he likely is an idiot..........
Reagan was warm and engaging at a personal level, not ‘moderate’ in temperament. In his love of liberty, Reagan was passionate and inflexible.
Listening to Huntsman in his debate with Newt Gingrich -did- show a collegial warmth and wittiness which was noteworthy. Thankfully the nomenklatura have backed Romney instead of Huntsman.
What Huntsman -said- however was nothing like the thought processes of Reagan. It was all about people as productive units. Math factors. What Lenin would call ‘masses’, and Reagan would have recognized as souls.
Reagan and Huntsman could both be defined as courteous and articulate, and there the resemblance ends.
Reagan was a brilliant and passionate freedom fighter.
Huntsman is a clever and diligent apparat.
Perfect!
With that good humor, it is time for coffee.
:-)
PLEASE HELP KEEP IT THAT WAY
*sigh* if only she had run :(
is that here or the HBO hit piece actress?
NBC, CNBC and MSLSD insist on putting these liberals (Meghan McCain, Scarphoney, Andrew Sullivan, etc) in front of the public and position them as conservatives. I’d like to think their ratings are indicative of how successful they are at their attempt at manipulation of the public.
Jon Huntsman is to Ronald Reagan as Joe Scarborough is to intelligence. Sad thing is that Joe actually raises the average intelligence of that group.
It was never funny.
