Charles P Pierce- My Man Chuck Todd Had A Bad Moment
My man Chuck Todd was on the liberal MSNBC network this morning, chatting up Jose Diaz-Balart about all of the kabuki being performed around Hillary Clinton's double life online. To his credit, the host seemed to be hinting that my man Chuck and the rest of the kool kidz might be making a big old something out of a little old nothing. My man Chuck burbled a little bit about how this really was a window into how Clinton might run her presidential campaign -- which is a crock. This is nostalgic bear-baiting by an elite political press angered that they don't have a blue dress to call their own this time around, and being played for suckers by the likes of Trey Gowdy.
Anyway, at one point, Chuck brought my head up from my scrambled eggs when he said,
"We're reporters. We're skeptical."
Which, I hate to say it, reminded me of nothing more than this previous spasm (!) of honesty that my man Chuck had.
"We all sit there because we know the first time we bark is the last time we do the show. There's something where all of the sudden nobody will come on your show."
Gee, whatever would we all do then?
