How's Leno on Maher tonight?

I missed the first half, so I'm just going to catch the replay at the top of the hour.

But what's Leno been saying? Worth watching? Thanks!

1. Leno is OK

Scahill is great, going toe to toe with Chuck Todd about failure of MSM and Congress to investigate Bushco's war crimes.

Todd is coming across as an a**hole.

2. Todd is an asshole.

I really liked him early on in the primaries, but I think the entire thing went to his head, unfortunately.

3. He's smug

Very dismissive of Scahill, who is brilliant and brave.

6. And making excuses for why the M$M is not doing more reporting

on Blackwater and other contractors.

He claimed it would distract from the biz of government.

That's absolute bullshit, Chuck.

It's because the M$M is still in the pocket of the republicans.

Nice to see a real reporter nail a fake one.

5. Scahill makes it worth tuning in tonight

He jumped in Todd's shit and ground his heels in hard.

But I won't spoil it for you with details. :D

12. No! You did fine

Scahill's body language was priceless and there's no way to give that away in text. :D

10. He wasn't as bad as I thought he would be

But Chuck Todd made up for it by being a hell of a lot worse.

He was mega defensive when the guy who wrote the Blackwater book accused the press of soft pedaling the stories about torture and exposing the bush lies abour it.

He may have made a point or two with the tom brokaw faction at NBC news but he sure came across as a fucking wuss.

14. Not bad. Didn't say much. I have a different opinion of Jeremy Scahill than the others

in this thread.

He has a serious chip on his shoulder, almost coming across like an inferiority complex (which, in my opinion, is why he attacks people on the media).

He's also completely humorless and obviously takes himself very seriously.

I find it annoying when he's on there.
