Chris Matthews's Multiple Obamagasms: The Top 10 Most 'Tingling' Quote

Tortured Football Analogy: Ed Schultz Compares Obama to Auburn; Republ
Perhaps the White House told Ed Schultz to compare the administration to a powerhouse football team? On Monday's MSNBC program, the liberal host offered a tortured analogy: Barack Obama is just like the University of Auburn's football team and the Republicans are the defeated Alabama. Schultz even replayed Saturday's exciting final play, swapping out player Chris Davis for the President: "…
Is Martin Bashir's 'Vacation' Actually a Suspension
When I noticed about 90 minutes ago that Joy Reid was once again filling in for MSNBC's Martin Bashir after having done so last week, I started wondering if this wasn't a vacation at all, and if the man who last month suggested someone should defecate and urinate in former Alaska governor Sarah Palin's mouth was actually being punished for it.

Scarborough: Obamacare Site Like A Hollywood Western Set—Nothing Beh
Potemkin Village, anyone? Joe Scarborough has offered a scathing simile for the new-'n-improved Obamacare website. On today's Morning Joe, he likened the site to the set of a Hollywood Western--pushing back the facade reveals that there's nothing behind it.

Milbank Equates O’Reilly Joking About Cutting His Head Off to Bashir
There haven’t been a lot of members of the media that have come out in support of MSNBC’s Martin Bashir's suggestion a few weeks ago that someone should defecate and urinate in former Alaska governor Sarah Palin’s mouth.
Seemingly bucking that trend Sunday was the Washington Post’s Dana Milbank who appearing on Fox News's MediaBuzz actually compared those remarks to Bill O’Reilly joking three…

MRC's Notable Quotables: MSNBC's Disgusting Attack on Sarah Palin
Of all the things Americans have to be grateful for this Thanksgiving, here's another one: Martin Bashir is not on MSNBC today. That's due to the holiday, of course, rather than any MSNBC executive's sense of honor.

WashPost's Milbank: If Obama Promoted 'Motherhood, Baseball, and Apple
On Tuesday's PoliticsNation on MSNBC, Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank reacted to GOP complaints about President Obama's Iran deal by cracking that Republicans "would have reflexively disapproved" even if Obama made a "deal to promote motherhood, baseball and apple pie."
But later, Milbank still predicted that the Iranian government "probably are not for real," as he recommended making…
