In Case You Hadn't Noticed, Chuck Todd Just Isn't That Bright

[stopbush]

Sunday's MTP fiasco sorta takes the cake - especially Todd's sappy responses afterward - but the signs have been there all along that he just isn't the brightest bulb in the media marquee.

Those attuned to the language will have noticed his mispronouncing words (saying "lar-nix" as opposed to "larynx," etc) or his not seeming to fully understand a guest whenever a "big word" made its way into the conversation. Others may have noticed that he rarely spouts anything but the whitest version of received opinion.

Yeah, the signs have been there all along. Sunday was just the icing on the cake.

1. Chuck "It's not our job to report the truth" Todd

he is to journalism what Arby's is to prime rib.

[tavernier]

5. Omg

Cracked a rib laughing!!

[iandhr]

9. Was that an intentional play on words.?

[tavernier]

13. Sadly, I'm not that quick.

[bvar22]

20. Was that a "Prime Rib" you cracked?

If so...we'll take it.
Its BBQ season.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

2. I heard him mention "the Bush Libary" once.

[Wilms]

3. That's why he's there. n/t

[tavernier]

4. I've noticed.

[Stuart G]

6. Will he last?...

If this becomes obvious as it will. Will they keep him on?

[KeepItReal]

7. But he was the "Political Director" for the network

I'd never heard that title before him

[Evergreen Emerald]

8. When they dumped Gregory

They said he was "Too Liberal." Seriously, that was their take away from the downfall MTP has had with ratings. They were too liberal. I just have to shake my head. They will never learn.

[bvar22]

21. "Too Liberal" is the euphamism for...

...Too smart for our lame viewers. They turn the channel when they can't keep up.

[Evergreen Emerald]

22. That would be funny

if it was not true!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

10. Not to be elitist but the clown wasn't even bright enough to finish college./Nt

[malaise]

11. Could be Scott Walker's best friend

Two complete dunces - seriously how hard is it to finish three years in college?

[randys1]

26. When I look at Walker's face I want to laugh and slap simultaneousy.

Laugh at how full of ignorance he is, slap at this vicious racist who HATES working people and everybody else.

[malaise]

27. He's a cheat

been cheating at elections for a very long time

[tech3149]

12. What really busts my sides laughing is that some corporate behemoth considers him a serious voice!

He's right up there with Luke Russert as a serious thinker and effective interviewer.
Put someone like Chuck Mertz against any of these media personalities and it will explode the heads of millions around the country due to reality overload.

14. Intelligence is a negative in political reporters.

You get so many more scoops and so much more access when you just regurgitate what you've been fed.

Intelligence gets in the way of that. The reporter starts to ask questions, and notices inconsistencies. Can't have that.

[BigDemVoter]

15. Yes Fuck Todd is a moron for sure!

However, a bigger idiot than Mr. Todd would be Luke Russert, son of the overrated Republican blow-hard, Tim Russert.

[hifiguy]

17. If Spudlet's name were Luke Smith

he'd be the fill-in weekend sports guy on a 5,000 watt radio station in East Jesus, Idaho.

[hifiguy]

16. His blatant dumbassery and sucking up to Repukes

is about as hard to miss as a grizzly bear in a phone booth.

[Paladin]

18. Yeah, I noticed a while back. But it needs to be pointed out, over and over.

So, thanks.

[Kingofalldems]

19. I'd like to know how he got his job.

[Gothmog]

23. Chuck Todd is an idiot

Todd goes beyond not being bright

[Skittles]

24. Foghorn Leghorn

"Boy's about as sharp as a bowling ball."

[kelliekat44]

25. Chuck Todd is a FOX wannabe. Always has been. nt
