Speaking of intrepid newsmen, America’s homeboy, ace reporter Damon Weaver is getting the serious snub from the Obama people regarding an inaugural week interview.

For those unfamiliar with Damon, check him out here and watch his plea to PE Obama.

Morning Joe comes on at 4:00 a.m. here and there are damn few things I will get up at that hour for - TV not being one of them.  So thanks for passing this on - it was fun to watch.  I’ve always liked Zbiggie.

Suck my Brzezinski, Gumby Head.

That rocked.  I like how Mika looked at the camera right before the smackdown because she could see it coming.

Shorter Scarborough: “Oh yeah, smarty pants?”

All Mika can do is sit there and watch the carnage she knows is coming. It’s beautiful.

The funniest thing here - and perhaps the most disturbing - is that it never occurs to Joe that he’s brought playdough to a gunfight.

“brought playdough to a gunfight”

hah, I love it! that neatly sums up the whole Bush administration AND the McCain/Barbie campaign.

and is there a transcript of this anywhere for those of us of deaf and late rising persuasion?

This is a great clip.  If this were not the week between Christmas and New Year’s, then it would get the same visibility as the Jon Stewart/Tucker Carlson smackdown of 2004.

I haven’t seen anything this good since Hannibal Lecter psychically dismantled Clarice Starling during the first interview.

I’ll note that Joe’s argument about too much pro-Palestinian coverage is echoed by vastleft.

I’m working on a post about vastleft, but I haven’t quite got it where I want it. Let’s just say his scolding of the Kos crew for pushing the notion that the Clinton camp darkened and widened a pic of Obama is as questionable, if not more, of the Correntewire crew (incl. him) pushing the BS that Obama gave Hillary “the finger.”

Why isn’t that guy in the Obama administration?  Sure, he’s old as time, but he’s still sharp as a tack with solid brass balls.

Kevin K., I look forward to your insight.

I think we can all learn something from the path that CorrenteWire has taken over the last year.  It was at one time a reasonable anti-authoritarian site.  It appears to have become an echo chamber for anti-Obama views.

As you point out, it’s gospel there that Obama gave Hillary the finger.  And that his campaign was based in misogyny and playing the race card.

Overall, they seem to be arguing that they offer a more pure version of liberalism than that sullied by what they call the OFB.

I may change my signature to: “Reality is for people who can’t handle CorrenteWire.”

When The Chief said that line to Scarborough, I almost fell off my chair. It was breathtaking! Finally, a smackdown for that asshole Joe, and Brzezinski barely batted an eye when he said it. Brilliant!

Gold. Pure gold.
“Oh, you think you know everything about foreign policy and the Middle-East just because you were Carter’s Nat’l Security Advisor? Well I was a Congressman from Florida, so don’t quote scripture to me!” (paraphrasing)

Donna, I didn’t see a transcript on their site, darn it. The best line is captioned under the clip above.

Thanks Betty. I googled around and didn’t see anything either. That line is just killer! Obviously I’ll need to steal it for personal use.
