I was on a self-imposed blogging break but cannot resist tonight. I’m typin this while flipping between news networks to see reactions about Scott Brown’s unexpected and historic victory.
- Keith Olbermann was unusually feisty tonight. It’s as though he is launching a final salvo of his best “material” before he goes home and sticks a Smith/Wesson in his mouth. He pulled out the two week old news about the tax issues that Glenn Beck’s company had and threw him under the bus; he re-emphized his ridiculous tirade against Scott Brown; he insulted people with pickup trucks and implied that support for Scott Brown was synonymous with the racist statist movement of the 1960s; and he topped it all off by somehow trying to defend his immature use of the term “tea bagger” by noting that it was first referenced by a conservative and first reported by Fox News. What a complete and utter asshole. Seriously, the man needs psychological help.
- Chris Matthews started crying while reading a historical quote and proved that hell has frozen over by due to his sudden realization that the people of America might be against an over-reaching government.
- Rachel Maddow could only muster the canned response of spewing Obama campaign rhetoric “the problems Obama faces now are just because he has to fix the mess Bush created.” (paraphrase)
I would normally rip Larry, Moe and Curly over this but I’m in too good of a mood. I got my first iPhone today and Scott Brown won. A great day, time to crack open another bottle of Sam Adams. How poetic.
