I'm not sure the head-honchos at NBC are stupid enough to destroy "Meet the Press" by following this suggestion. Huffington Thinks Olbermann Would Be A Good Fit for MTP The first two words of the headline tell you the rest of it is garbage.

Last week, Sen. Barack Obama put the Republicans on notice: He and his surrogates are going to link criticism of him to racism -- both overt and covert. "They're going to try to make you afraid of me. He's young and inexperienced and he's got a funny name. And did I mention he's black?" Obama's […]

After so many years of touting public financing of elections, Barack Obama last week decided that the system he supported was for other people. He said that he needed a lot of money to counter the "smears" that the right would level at him. Like this one: Now that's funny.

After the Tennesee Center for Policy Research revealed a year ago that Al Gore's home was using energy like Homer Simpson at an all-you-can-eat buffet, Gore "greened" his house by changing light bulbs, installing solar panels, etc. And what was the result? Energy Guzzled by Al Gore’s Home in Past Year Could Power 232 U.S. […]

The higher-ups at the Associated Press have got to be the biggest much of morons in the world.
