WHY did I turn it on? WHY????

The Joe Scumbag show has been extended thru the morning today. I tune in and there that asshat Mayor Rudy, savaging FEMA. Mika asks him if he wants to walk his BULLSHIT back. He says it is worse than Katrina. He says he will NOT walk it back.

WHY????? Why did I turn this on?

This sounds like Fox, fer krissakes.

He has nothing good to say about Obama. The other day he was screaming his ass off about O.

Oh good he's leaving!

The only thing going on today is the election, and there's no "news" yet so all they can do is speculate and masturbate over polls and get useless tools and has-been dingbats like Giuliani and Gingrich to show up and fill up air time with bullshit. Take your TV remote and throw it outside into the shrubbery.

Oh, and fuck Giuliani.

Dan Rather of all people were pontificating about what the Obama team had done wrong this election. Obama is running against a tax dodging, flip-flopping, crook and I'm listening to Obama's faults? Pisses me off.

so very much.

I guess it's because it's Rachel that does this too - I really really liked her - but she's like all the rest. Of all the bizarre things Romney has said and done, and Ryan, she chooses to shit on Obama at the first yard line? Feh. Yah, she had a little 'good Obama list' last night or the other day, I hear. But just a teeeney weeeeney bit too late there Ace Reporter.

Did she hold her book up?

I never got an answer to, "How do the deaths of 11 oil rig workers in an explosion compare with 2,000 drowned citizens and a city destroyed?" I never got an answer, but I have no doubt that they are certain their "math" adds up.

Bring up bengazi. Didn't see the whole FEMA rant coming. But gingrich said something similar also so that must be their big talking point to try to distract from the vote

"I'm The Slime"

I am gross and perverted
I'm obsessed 'n deranged
I have existed for years
But very little has changed
I'm the tool of the Government
And industry too
For I am destined to rule
And regulate you

I may be vile and pernicious
But you can't look away
I make you think I'm delicious
With the stuff that I say
I'm the best you can get
Have you guessed me yet?
I'm the slime oozin' out
From your TV set

You will obey me while I lead you
And eat the garbage that I feed you
Until the day that we don't need you
Don't go for help . . . no one will heed you
Your mind is totally controlled
It has been stuffed into my mold
And you will do as you are told
Until the rights to you are sold

That's right, folks . . .
Don't touch that dial

Well, I am the slime from your video
Oozin' along on your livin' room floor

I am the slime from your video
Can't stop the slime, people, lookit me go
I am the slime from your video
Oozin' along on your livin' room floor
I am the slime from your video
Can't stop the slime, people, lookit me go

Just maybe something like that would interfere with operations?

But hey, putting it three blocks from City Hall made it a much better place to boink your mistress than better spot all the way over in Brooklyn.

Why were they still using the ones that wouldn't work in the WTC during the '92 bombing?

Don't you think the mayor should have done something about that. You know, whatzizname...

There was no way I was going to watch Joe, Chuck Todd and Howard Fineman. Turned on Current and Sarah Jessica Parker, Jake Gyllenhaal and Rob Reiner called in. Good show.
