Dick Debate

Posted on 06/11/2009 at 8:40 am by Bob Cesca

I love these staged Morning Joe debates in which Joe cajoles an expert to come on the show to, first, stroke Joe for his paint-by-numbers cookie-cutter issues book, then to “debate” one of the issues, which actually amounts to Joe filibustering at length with the same recycled chunks of wankery — most often including the phrase “when I was elected to Congress.”

Today, it’s Doris Kearns Goodwin who will take the fall in the name of Joe’s gigantic yet fragile ego.

Adding… Just now, Joe was complaining to Goodwin about how awful it is for the left to accuse people of being racists, and how awful it is for people on the right to accuse the left of being “communists.” It’s not civilized discourse, he says. Yeah, instead, Joe uses “socialists” as a pejorative. This way, he’s not guilty, but he gets to spread the same red-baiting message. Very serious! He’s good people.

    I tuned in just as the Goodwin (dick fingers)debate(/dick fingers) was ending and caught this:

    Mika: I wanna do a little clarification on my news report on the money going to Palau. We just got an e-mail from the White House saying that we’re misreporting it…Douche: Really?!Mika: …and that there are conversations going on about past help and support that the United States has given the country and that there are conversations going on about future help, but no discussions about a detainee exchange of money. No linkage.Douche: Oh, so there’s no quid… pro.. quo. Thank you, White House. (douchey laugh)Mika: No, this is the State Department.Douche: Oh, thank you State Department.Mika: I think what we ought to do is look into it more and have more tomorrow.Douche: We’re going to. (Douchey sarcasm) I feel badly for suggesting that there might be any linkage there.

    What a dick.There’s a screen capture on my post complete with Starbucks product placement.

    Damn, the whole script should have been in the block quote.

    What a miserable piece of shit! Sadly, I saw the entire show this morning and the one thing I did notice was that they never talked about the shooting at the Holocaust Museum. The Star Search Spokesmodel read the story only during the news updates at the top of each hour. There was no discussion and we all know why. The douchebag is clearly a rightwing nutbag sympathizer. I’m sure we all remember his fire and brimstone rant about the Janet Napolitano and the DHS Report released a few weeks ago. He trashed her mercilessly joining in the calls for her to apologize for instulting the soldiers. Now, he looks like an ass so he’s just not going to discuss it. Like I said, he’s a real piece of shit!

    The problem with using the Socialist tag for Liberals is that some on the right think they mean Nazi Socialist Party.No kidding. I was arguing with some guy on a board and that’s what he thought.The guy actually wrote.Nazi Socialist = Democratic Socialist….We are arguing with idiots.

    Wee are arguing with vicious idiots that behave identically to fascists.roxsteady -He trashed her mercilessly joining in the calls for her to resign for insulting the soldiers.They demanded her resignation. They settled for an apology. I’m not letting the ultra-nationalistic suffer no dissent goose-stepping authoritarians off the hook for their foaming at the mouth fascism.The goose-step like Nazis and they talk like Nazis and their Grandparents or parents were Nazi sympathizers. Nancy Reagan was Nancy Davis. Check out the history of the Davis family in the 30s. Also check out Prescott Bush. See who he cheered for in the 30s. Fascists are fascists. They didn’t go away, they just kept a lower profile. They aren’t hiding anymore because too few see them for what they are since they call themselves ‘neoconservatives’. They even call Obama a fascist to further confuse things.
