Disappointed office-seeker paid to snark on people who achieved where he failed. I'd ask why he's still around, but what's the point in a world where George Will and Bob Schieffer can still pick up paychecks.John F Jamelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18351383534436377360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662171249638416805.post-22943153338058121492011-12-04T11:00:02.782-08:002011-12-04T11:00:02.782-08:00Excellent post.

Maddow is the only one who is progressive and borders on being an intellectual heavyweight, but her pedantic style borders on condescending.<br /><br />Matthews goes with the political winds. If Republicans are in power, Matthews acts contemptuous of Democrats. If Democrats are in power, Matthews reminds us that he used to work for Tip O'Neill.<br /><br />Schultz goes with the dollars. If he could have made money as a conservative commentator, he'd be conservative.<br /><br />Sharpton? I'm STILL waiting for him to apologize to Steve Pagones and Harry Crist, Jr.1st Republic 14th Starhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15527557395529372165noreply@blogger.com
