Lawrence O'Donnell: Founding Fathers Would've Understood Need to Raise
There are times when I watch MSNBC and truly can't understand how a major American television news network could possibly have assembled such a group of ignoramuses to act as commentators.

Chris Matthews Bizarrely Mocks Rush Limbaugh as a 'Walrus Underwater
MSNBC's Chris Matthews on Wednesday mocked Rush Limbaugh's response to the killing of Osama bin Laden, deriding the conservative as a "walrus underwater." Matthews also made an odd grunting noise to back up this description.

Margaret Carlson: 'Professor Obama Turned Into General Obama And Ran T
Just when the media adulation of Barack Obama might have been showing signs of waning, along comes the killing of Osama Bin Laden to drive it to new sycophantic heights. In the genre, it will be hard to outdo the schoolgirl-crushiness of Margaret Carlson.
