The best call of Chuck Todd's career, from October 9.

Appearing on CNBC’s Squawk Box, Todd got into a heated argument over the validity of Scott Rasmussen’s polls as compared with those commissioned by NBC News and The Wall Street Journal.

“We spend a lot more money polling than Scott Rasmussen does,” said Todd on CNBC. “These guys are the gold standard. We spend so much money. So, it is unfair — I hate the idea their polling, which is rigorously done – has to get compared to what is, in some cases, you know, slop.”

Take a bow, sir.
