There are few things funnier than

[EffieBlack]

watching a bunch of well-paid, isolated, sitting-their-butts-in-a-studio-talking-to-a-camera-all-day-long political "analysts" - most of whom have never run anything in their lives except their mouths (and Joe, that includes you since your short time in Congress as an accomplishmentless blowhard doesn't count as "running" squat) lecture President Obama and his administration about "what he doesn't realize is" and "what he needs to understand is" and " what he has got to do is."

These people have proven themselves wrong on so many things time after time after time yet they still have the nerve to get up the next morning, climb into the chauffer-driven town car that ferries them to the studio, park their coddled hindquarters on their perch and shamelessly spout off more of the same crap as if they are not only brilliant economic, fiscal and banking experts but are also in constant touch with the "common guy on Main Street" -when the only "common guys" they've come anywhere near in the past year were the studio chauffeur, the woman who powders them down so the shine on their pasty faces doesn't blind us and the tech who clips on their little mikes so that the world can catch their every, bloviationg word.

3. Great post, EB!!! However...

I no longer find them funny. They'd be funny if they weren't so very dangerous, Many too many are an imminent threat to the common good and general welfare of the people in the country of my birth.

4. The reality is that they have very little impact

The most popular of thses shows barely get a million people and most of them rate a few hundred thousand.


People are not listening to them and the clearest evidence of this truth is that the Obama family now resides in the White House. If people actually listened to these blow hards we would have some old white guy there.



People have a lot more common sense that these 'faux common guys'.
