You know who on MSNBC I cant stand to look at or listen to?

This prick

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Schmidt


He not only pushed to have that moron Palin to be on the ticket, he was willing to have her be elected to be one heart beat away from unimaginable power.

Had they stolen that election and if McCain had died for any reason, the damage that moron would have done is incalculable...

That he later said something like "oh well, she wasnt a good choice maybe after-all" is suppose to vindicate him?

fuck you

He seems quite aware of what Republicans are currently doing that pisses people off and doesn't use that to rub in people's faces. I actually enjoy hearing what he has to say.

I think he is seen as a player, in the game they all play in, and I get that, but for instance I wonder how many backroom disgusting things Karl Rove did for him, with his approval.

I know Rove and McCain are enemies but I bet you he was there in some capacity

What annoys me most about him is his attitude that he is now some kind of hero for admitting Palin is an idiot and a jackass. Schmidt failed to do his job. And the McCain campaign knew that Palin is unstable and put their quest for power above the well being of the nation.

Sorry, Steve, you're going to have to live with that colossal blunder for the rest of your life. The Guy Who Picked Sarah Palin.

On the other hand, maybe he did us a favor. As it turned out, Caribou Barbie was a huge drag on the ticket - only the real crazies actually liked her. If McCain's running mate had been someone less spectacularly stupid, weird and unqualified, there's at least the possibility he'd have won.

Is he different from Karl Rove, hopefully.

If you want to throw up repeatedly and uncontrollably, read up on Karl's history

And he is proud of destroying peoples lives, proud of accusing people of being this or that when he knew it was a lie, and republicans love him so all republicans are just as vile and filthy and disgusting as he is.

We dont and shouldnt tolerate garbage like him any longer, he must be shamed somehow.

I think, on balance, her being on the ticket was good for Obama and "Say it ain't so, Joe" Biden.

Alaska had been trending toward Obama until Palin's name was announced, so that was a negative. But, overall, I think she was a great choice from the Democratic standpoint.

However, she was certainly an irresponsibile choice. If they both hadn't been such bad candidates, we all might have been praying fervently for McCains's health every night and day for the last six years, give or take.

I used to watch MSNBC he seemed to be the only Republican in existence that wasn't a full blown ignorant piece of shit used car salesman asshole. I could almost tolerate him.
