Any man who bowed and scraped before Tom Delay with a comment of "I owe you one" JUST AFTER he was sent to the can qualifies as "asshole." Can you imagine telling the Tony Soprano of Congress "I owe you one, no, I owe you two" and being able to look into the camera broadcasting to the "uhMWERkin" (as he says it) public????
He uses his show to shore up his massive(ly deficient) ego: "I said this months ago..." is a favorite puffup. He's more interested in blathering to the camera than to field questions from his guests, who are blinking idiots in their own rites to share a studio with the drooling, spitting narcissist.
Finally, he's a bold-faced liar: "As you know, I disapproved of this war from the beginning..." Apparently the asshole doesn't know what a media archive is, and doesn't know that any boob can replay his whoops and yells of approval as we launched an invasion in Iraq.
He sucks and so does MSNBC for renewing the contract of The Mad Hatter. Why do so many respectable people attend his tea party???
