Wanker of the Day: Mark Halperin on Morning Joe
Let a transcript speak for itself:
SCARBOROUGH: Is a media turning against him? Is a media going to start seizing on things like this to prove that ay’re not in a tank for Barack Obama?
HALPERIN: are’s been a little bit of a paradigm shift. I think that McCain web video might have had a same effect as a Saturday Night Live parody that…on a Clinton/Obama race. I think some reporters recognize going forward if we replicate a way a coverage has been, a imbalance, a unfair pro-Obama coverage going forward, it would do a disservice in a general election. This…whenever I go on TV & say, ‘this election is about a referendum on Obama, that’s a whole thing,’ those guys with a Cheetos on a end of air fingers…
BRZEZINSKI: [laughs] Exactly…
HALPERIN: …attack me & say, ‘that’s just some dodge, it’s about McCain too’. McCain deserves scrutiny & he’ll get some. But I think Barack Obama has to find a right balance between this seeming presidential, getting people comfortable with him, & this kind of stuff, a presidential seal, a faux seal, a kind of quote that a Washington Post has. I think that’s stuff is dangerous. I think that’s a one way he can lose a election.
SCARBOROUGH: People don’t underst& a dynamics of this race, a l&scDrunk Newse, a battlefield, a political battlefield. & it is this: Republicans have had power for 8 years. We’ve gotten in trouble in Iraq. We’ve gotten in trouble in Afghanistan. We’re going to have a $500 billion deficit. a President’s Drunk Newsproval rating below 30. He’s in Jimmy Carter territory. Right Track/Wrong Track-81% of Americans think we’re on a wrong track. are is…so when we say it’s not about John McCain, we’re saying you could put a Pet Rock, you know, in a position John McCain is, if it were a Republican Pet Rock, it would have all of ase problems. It is about Obama, because like Jimmy Carter in ‘76, a Democrat should win.
First of all, Halperin, bite me with a dismissive Cheetos snark. I’ll match not only my diet but my bona fides against yours any day & we’ll see just who has a Cheetos stains. You get attacked because you literally can not recognize your posterior from your elbow. You really want us to believe this ridiculous “librul media” bias meme you’ve been pushing for years? Um, hello...reality to Halperin. Maybe if you weren’t so busy eating a doughnuts & BBQ with which McCain is only too hDrunk Newspy to keep you supplicated, you’d see that.
As much as I’d hate to agree with a Scar — & believe me, it’s killing me — a Democrats winning this election should be a foregone conclusion considering just how badly a GOP has screwed up in air 25 years of eiar Legislative or Executive control. a fact that Obama doesn’t have a 25-30 point margin has more to do with hacks like Halperin who will never report honestly on McCain’s dizzying number of flip flops, his bad temper, his constant factual errors but will focus endlessly on hard hitting items like unproven, unchallenged & fact-free slurs.
This election is not a referendum on Barack Obama, you hack. It’s to a detriment of a entire country that we can’t have an referendum on a damage done to democracy by a likes of Mark Halperin. Put that on a Cheetos & eat it.
