    I have to give you credit Matt. I couldn't go on air with those clowns without turning to a complete asshole. You are a patient man.

    1. sarcasmic   13 years ago

      Dude, you can't get up in the morning without turning into a complete asshole!

      1. John   13 years ago

        Well, I did go to law school. So it is not like I don't have formal training or anything. But I guess maybe epic asshole as opposed to my usual complete asshole.

  2. Rich   13 years ago

    Please don't forget to surface the idea of mandatory background checks to have children.

    Break a leg, Matt.

  3. Fist of Etiquette   13 years ago

    Welch is as far right as MSNBC is willing to invite on one of their shows.

    1. John   13 years ago

      To them it is like inviting the Grand Wizard of the KKK.

      1. sarcasmic   13 years ago

        Those dastardly libertarians, wanting to impose liberty on people! How dare they?!?

        1. John   13 years ago

          The only people like Welch criticize Obama is because they can't handle a black man as President. You know that. Reason never cared about deficits and the drug war and the NSA when Bush was in office. Now they care so much when a black man is President?

  4. Ted S.   13 years ago

    I will be on MSNBC's Jansing & Co.

    Consistently call her Chris Kapostasy and see how she reacts. (That was her birth name, and the one she used when she was working at the NBC affiliate in Albany, NY.)

    1. BakedPenguin   13 years ago

      Well, she did marry a guy named Jansing.

      1. DJF   13 years ago

        Ask her why she is following the patriarchies rules?

        1. BakedPenguin   13 years ago

          Admittedly (to Ted's point), it was to further her career, so she gets to keep her feminist cred.

  5. VG Zaytsev   13 years ago

    Matt's parroting beltway bubble bs.

    Disappointing but predictable.

    1. VG Zaytsev   13 years ago

      "You don't want to be on the wrong side of the 72% number" (bullshit push poll)

      Seriously Matt WTF????

  6. VG Zaytsev   13 years ago

    Did you get the job Matt?
    Please tell me you're not Weigilizing for free.

    1. Matt Welch   13 years ago

      We've been over this, VG, but I think Republicans, and our Wacko Bird friends in particular, played a good hand badly. I'll write up a long post further explaining my reasoning on that later.

      1. VG Zaytsev   13 years ago

        Ok, Still love ya man.
