That was priceless last night. Funnier than Seinfeld. And I'm talking about
Soup Nazi Seinfeld, not series finale Seinfeld.

Watching Ed Schultz practically in tears railing against Scott Walker winning in Wisconsin and then watching Rachel Maddow make the joke about Scott Brown losing to two different women for the fourth time with that strained, forced smile but with her eyes looking as though she just got a lump pf plutonium for Christmas... it just doesn't get any better than that.

Al Sharpton airily chiding the Dems for not running on any platform and Chris Hayes eyeing him with such anguish that his nerdy glasses were slipping down his nose...

I had my phone dialed 9-1 with my finger hovering over the 1 in case Chris Matthews went into apoplectic seizure.

I'm not gonna say it was better than sex. But it was a close second.

I didn't watch MSNBC but I enjoyed your summary of their coverage.

It was rather funny to watch, I'll admit. It shows the cracks in the unity for all to see. Almost as much fun to watch as Karl Rove melting down on national TV in 2012, trying to explain that the GOP still stood a mathematical chance of winning Ohio, and the Fox news folks telling us of the "ever darkening mood" in the Romney camp. That's politics though. The GOP won big last night, no doubt about it. So...what will they do with there new found power? 😏

They will fight amongst themselves (Ted Cruz vs. McConnell battle will symbolize Tea Party vs RINO establishment battle), they will concede to Obama when they don't have to, cater to donors, line their own pockets, and generally piss off the GOP base.

Is McConnell now a RINO?

If Orrin Hatch is, then McConnell certainly would be.

Now?

He's always been one. He is nothing more than an establishment guy who gets his marching orders from the same people who tell Obama what to do.

Being from the NE you assume everyone is establishment because in the NE anyone who believed in freedom and individuality headed west long ago.

But as to the topic of the tread, nothing was better than watching Dan Rather break down in tears as he had to say that GW Bush had been elected.

Hopefully then there will be a good Republican candidate that can be elected President. I believe that is the only way anything important will get done, because Obama will probably veto anything that comes his way from a Republican controlled congress.

I always thought of him as a sleeze ball sell out, but that's just me.

Pray tell, who gives both Obama and McConnell marching orders?

Corporate America-At least the heads of the Industry

I suppose it isn't limited to America, it is an international group of people pulling the strings.
