Martin Bashir Appreciation Thread

It's past time to acknowledge the incredible razor sharp wit and sound journalism this man exudes.

Here's what he asked a guest today:

"People say you can tell a man by the company he keeps. If I introduced you to a man who is endorsed by someone as grotesque as Donald Trump, as abhorent as Ted Nugent or as poisonous as John Sunnunu, would you say that man is en route to the White House or is that the cast of a snuff movie?"

like Keith Olberman, and the British accent/sarcasm are just icing on the cake.

...instead of Chrissie Matthews. Martin and Ed and Rachel would make a nice back-to-back-to-back lineup.
