Sanctimonious Joe, joined by nauseating Barnicle, decrying the state of our politics that Harry Reid would say those mean things on the Senate floor and be SO PETTY to announce there would be no votes that afternoon so a senator who wants to skip the debate tonight won't be able to use that excuse. He ran the clip of Reid politely asking Senator Franken if he would yield for an announcement. Franken looked a bit surprised, so I'm guessing he didn't know beforehand that Reid would do this, and then smiled and agreed to yield...
It was great! I got a HUGE laugh out of Joe's discomfort and CRYBABY complaining...

(9,983 posts)He could be witty at times, back when he was at the Globe - but it was corrosion of the soul that got him the bum's rush from there, and it seems to have continued since.

(29,067 posts)Can you tell me about this "corrosion" of the soul that got him kicked off the Boston Globe?...I ask
because he always seemed like a repuke to me (didn't see him this morning) but my Connecticut living sister
swears he's a Dem....What happened?

(9,983 posts)The one that got me was about NH women being ugly - and then there was a plagurisim scandal.

(29,067 posts)He has the nerve to call someone "ugly"?....No offense to maledom, or anything, but I'm
often surprised at the number of sorry looking men -- bald, fat, old - that have the nerve to "evaluate" women
as if THEY had anything better to offer. Maybe it's that male "entitlement" thing.

(10,942 posts)Nearly republican, but not yet there. Barnicle is a Chris Matthews without the strong brain and reasonable human compassion. Barnicle got canned at the Globe for a couple of commentary/real stories articles where the Globe was able to prove that Barnicle stole quotes from other people that he modified to make look like his own. Barnicle has strong connections in the Boston media, after Barnicle washed for several months once canned by the Globe, the respected New England Chronicle show picked him up as a host. Barnicle is now on MSNBC. Barnicle had personal troubles during his period of disgrace, losing a sibling to death, I think, from a heart attack.

(29,067 posts)I see why he lost his position at the Globe. Watching both of them, I'd say Chris,
though he sometimes pisses me off, is more Dem than repuke.
He's also a lot easier on the eyes, which has nothing to do with anything, but I thought I'd mention it anyhow.
I didn't know about Barnicle losing his brother. I did hear that his wife is a honcho (honcha?) at Bank of America.
Cheers, and thank again.

(9,494 posts)That right! Even though republicans are pretty sure Mitt is a Moron as well as a Mormon, they are pretty sure he can eek this out and be the Prez because America love to watch a close competition
Mika shoved her breasts at the camera and bobbled her head around in agreement. That woman acts like a blow-up doll.

would just be in passing in order to get to grumble about Reid.

but "explain" it by telling people "This country is WEAK"....I thought, WTF?!...I never realized Deutsch was such a flaming
Wingnut until he said that.

(8,964 posts)what difference does it make? Harry was doing them a favor by uncluttering that afternoon's schedule and making sure other commitments to constituents could be fulfilled. Scott Brown should send Reed a personal thank you card for interceding and preventing Brown from looking like the evasive coward that he is.
