Willie Geist wondered out loud what would happen to a Republican candidate who had written that women fantasize about being raped--would he still be in the race?
But when it's a candidate for the Dem presidential nomination who had written those words, well, that's a different story. On Morning Joe, when Joe Scarborough raised the matter of Bernie Sanders having written, in his 30s, that women…
On ABC's This Week, liberal Dem Rep. Keith Ellison says he's "proud to stand" with Rand Paul on a variety of issues, including opposition to the Patriot Act.
Ana Marie Cox remains a committed liberal, her Christian coming out, as she described it, notwithstanding. Even so, she had a raw truth-telling moment this morning that will not please Hillary fans.
On Steve Kornacki's MSNBC show, Cox declared that close Hillary associate and informal foreign policy adviser Sidney Blumenthal is "kind of a scumbag." A scandalized Kornacki quickly interjected "…
On Al Sharpton's MSNBC show today, former DNC Chairman Ed Rendell dared congressional Republicans to recall Hillary Clinton to testify about Benghazi. Calling her a "tough cookie," Rendell vowed that "Hillary will put them in short pants."
Dem strategist Steve McMahon prefaced his remarks with the standard tongue-in-cheek disclaimer about not intending to hurt the prospects of someone from the other party by praising him. On this evening's With All Due Respect, he then proceeded to gush over Marco Rubio, saying that listening to him recount his life story as the son of immigrants "melts my heart." McMahon predicted that Rubio…
For not wanting to sound elitist, Donny Deutsch came off an awful lot like the denizen of Manhattan and the Hamptons that he is.
On Morning Joe, reacting to comments from a group of Iowa Republicans who were less concerned about Jeb Bush's policy positions and more concerned about his last name, Deutsch declaimed "I don't mean to sound elitist but it's astounding how ignorant people are."
Jeb Bush: wannabe Arab killer and torturer. That was the portrait of the prospective Republican presidential candidate that Joe Wilson, wife of former CIA employee Valerie Plame, has painted.
Appearing on Chris Hayes's MSNBC show this evening, Wilson claimed that the "conclusion you come to," looking looking at his foreign policy advisers, is that Jeb's plan is "to kill all Arabs we find on the…
Hillary Clinton must be worried if she's willing to trot out a bottom-of-the-barrel dead-ender like Joe Conason to defend her.
Conason slithered onto the Morning Joe set today and it didn't take him long--quoting Winston Churchill--to compare Joe Scarborough to Nazis. Even then, Conason couldn't tell the truth, claiming Churchill hadn't been referring to Nazis, when he explicitly had.
On today's Morning Joe, Scarborough predicts that if Matt Lauer had pulled a Stephanopoulos, NBC wouldn't punish him [just as ABC hasn't disciplined Steph], because Lauer's morning Today show "is where they make the money."
Scarborough suggests that NBC was willing to come down hard on Brian Williams because he just did the evening news, which is not where the monetary action is for the networks.
On Morning Joe, Mika Brzezinski criticizes George Stephanopoulos for covering the story of the Clinton Foundation story without disclosing that he had donated to it. But Brzezinski's biggest blast is reserved for ABC, which had hired the hyper-partisan Clinton adviser in the first place.
Brzezinski hits the "lack of judgment of the people who are hiring him to think that he can just erase [his…
