Worst Persons

The Morning Joe panel for this:

Donny Deutsch got the ball rolling, suggesting that voters may be “going back to basics” after electing an African-American president and seeing “the female candidates and whatnot.” Scott Brown, Deutsch added, “looks like the traditional view of a candidate,” which may bring a “visceral comfort” to voters.

Mike Barnicle found value in the observation, saying that “there’s something to it.”

The Wall Street Journal’s Peggy Noonan added that Brown is “a regular guy” who “looks like an American.”

This is what happens when cable news panelists don’t know what the hell to say about something, so they go with whatever falls out of their asses — and then pass it off as very serious wisdom.

    I am so rooting for a Coakley win–simply because I cannot wait to hear the MSM spin a Coakley win as great for Republicans.

    “he looks like an American”? WTF???

    “Five wealthy white people” (Steve Benen’s words) have special insight into what America and Americans want. Uh-huh. Sure.

    He looked really creepy in that nude magazine photo.Just imagine if a woman or black guy had posed nude for a magazine. Or a white guy Democrat.FOX would be showing that image 24/7 and tearing their hair out over the disgusting low levels of morality of such a picture.But a repub? Just shows what a hunk he is according to Sally Quinn.

    I’m guessing to them, Martha Coakley looks Armenian?

    @eve-I know, exactly. Remember when Obama had his picture snapped by the paparazzi in his bathing suit. Its indecent and beneath a President-elect, even if he is at his own place going swimming. But when Scott Brown poses in Playboy, everybody is wondering if he would do them in the doggy position once he gets in the senate. Its madness.

    I’ll bet Donny Deutsch doesn’t even know what “visceral” means.

    That’s funny. He looks like a typical repub douche to me. Maybe it’s time for a visit to the eye doctor. Oh wait…I can’t. No health insurance.*Shrugs and walks away*

    I thought they told us that anything Brown is from Kenya, so I’m going with that.
