Guess Who Said 'Decline of Middle Class Tied to Decline of Unions'
Who said: "I've always believed the decline of the middle class could be tied to the decline of unions.

Ex-MSNBC Host Actually Claims Network Was 'Never Left Wing TV'
This young man might have a bright future in comedy, providing he doesn't mind that people laugh only when he's not kidding.
You might remember Cenk Uygur -- pronounced "Jenk U-Gur" -- hosting an evening show on MSNBC for several months in 2011 after the network booted Keith Olbermann within weeks of the Tucson massacre, when liberals like Olbermann blamed Sarah Palin for creating a sulfuric "…

Howard Dean: Scott Walker Says Obama Born In Kenya
How unhinged has Howard Dean become? So bad that an MSNBC host had to gently walk him back off the ledge.
On Chris Hayes' MSNBC show tonight, Dean claimed that Scott Walker says Barack Obama was "born in Kenya." It took Hayes two attempts to break through Dean's blather, but eventually he was able to politely point out: "I should note, you mention the Kenya thing, he has not been asked that."

Mika: 'I Question Patriotism of Someone Questioning Prez's Patriotism'
MSNBC might like to replace "Lean Forward" with a new slogan: "Dissent Is Unpatriotic."
On today's Morning Joe, discussing the Rudy flap, Mika Brzezinski said: "I question the patriotism of someone who questions the president's patriotism."

Rudy Giuliani and Flagrant Morning Joe Hypocrisy
Here is Joe Scarborough, a guy who blithely plays the co-host of a morning show on a network that has a god-awful record for living in the sewers of racial politics. This is the network that gives the possibly-soon-to-be-removed-to-the weekend lineup Al Sharpton an entire show.
But Joe is concerned about Rudy Giuliani - a guy whose political heroes include those vociferous racists Robert Kennedy…
