Intern Killer Morning Joe: "You don't criticize Baby Jesus, and you don't criticize the Chosen One"
On Morning Joe, just a moment ago.

Pissing and moaning because he thinks the press isn't asking Obama "tough questions"...

"That's because he's the Chosen One. You don't criticize the Baby Jesus at Christmas time, and you don't criticize the Chosen One before he takes office."

:eyes:

1. Why do you watch the crap if not for a laugh? I mean really its great comedy
seeing the wing nuts trying to twist and turn everything. Just now on C-Spin Peter eater just said the Wall street loan vs the auto makers bailout.

2. For a laugh...that's basically it.
...thanks to a fellow DUer, I just discovered Blinko TV. I haven't had cable TV for a year and a half, so it's been a vidclip here, a podcast there...the only thing I miss is TV Food Network and MSNBC.

7. Hulu.com is great, and legal.

Their HD section is growing. They have alot of shows and movies as well, with about 1/10th the advertising you would get on network tv. Between that and the network sites themselves I haven't watched tv on a tv in six months.

Granted I am not into the super high end AV equipment, but streaming at 480p with a 1mb connection is getting a heck of alot better imo. I don't work there, just want to pass it on. Great site imo.

14. Thank you...someone on DU passed that one along as well...
I'm self-employed and found in the last couple of years that a monthly cable bill was ridiculous for the amount of time I spend in front of the TV (next to none). So things like Blinko, Hulu and the network sites (as well as YouTube) area great for that quick fix.

3. I don't know why I watch that crap.
Why do I keep watching that crap? It's God awful. I must be as stupid as Mika has become. And it's pathetic, because the people on that show that should know better (Mika, Barnicle), just go along with Joe's stupid shit.

God.

Joe just said that it was SOCIALISM that led to all of this mess. That CNBC guy said that "true capitalism" will return, and this was just corrupt capitalism. Guess what fuckers? You have seen what TRUE CAPITALISM leads to. These business machines don't care about ethics, they just care about the bottom line. This is your capitalism. How fucking dare you try to spin this shit and say is SOCIALISM.

Idiots.

And for all these idiots criticizing Congress for putting the auto industry through the wringer just to get a few billion bucks, why the fuck weren't people like Joe Scarborough demanding that the AIG workers (not higher-ups) be forced to take a pay cut?

And how the fuck can Republicans act like they are champions of the every man, when they do what they did last night? What a crock of shit. I hate people. I hate stupid people, at least.

And again, FUCK SCARBOROUGH. He didn't mind when the press kissed King Bush's asses. He demands the press to be hard on Obama, when they weren't hard on Bush. He wonders why we take Obama at his word, when we didn't take Bush at his...IT'S BECAUSE BUSH IS A HABITUAL FUCKING LIAR. THAT HAS BEEN PROVEN TIME AND TIME AGAIN. OBAMA HASN'T PROVEN TO BE A SHADY LIAR LIKE BUSH, THAT IS WHY YOU TAKE HIM AT HIS WORD UNTIL PROVEN OTHERWISE.

5. I turned it on for a second
what are they talking about with Rahm and the jabs at "multi-tasking"? I love how they jump through hoops to make fun of Rahm and Obama, but dontcha dare make fun of Sarah Palin, that's sexism!

9. Except Obama never claimed he was either...that is a right wing memo
They are mad at the guy for being well liked. Its not his fault that McLame and Bush were so unlikable and such a-holes. Obama just looks real good in comparison because he is an actual feeling human being.

12. It's odd for a member of the press to complain
instead of just asking tough questions. I mean Joe you got this whole morning news thingy.
