    I'm not much of a conspiracy nut, but I don't understand how such a mouth-breather like Piers Morgan has a national TV show. Same for Maddow and the rest.

    1. Tulpa (LAOL-VA)   12 years ago

      Worst Celebrity Apprentice EVER.

  2. Fist of Etiquette   12 years ago

    Make sure you go in packing, Welch. Morgan respects a man who can protect himself and those around him.

  3. Kaptious Kristen   12 years ago

    This Piers Morgan?

    1. Paul.   12 years ago

      That better be like, a kitten doing something very cute and charming...

    2. Tulpa (LAOL-VA)   12 years ago

      I prefer this performance, though it reminds me more of BO himself.

  4. mashed potatoes   12 years ago

    Holy crap. I couldn't do it.

    1. Emmerson Biggins   12 years ago

      I couldn't either. I actually consider him worse than most of the MSNBCers. At least on MSNBC you know up front you going to get good old communist propaganda. That makes it easier to take somehow.

  5. Rich   12 years ago

    First MSNBC; now CNN.

    Piersing into the abyss today, eh, Matt?

    1. Tulpa (LAOL-VA)   12 years ago

      RT was busy covering Putin's kickboxing match against a Yeti.

  6. nailzer   12 years ago

    Come on, 9:00pm is right in the middle of WWE Smackdown.

  7. Tulpa (LAOL-VA)   12 years ago

    I'm a tad conflicted over this whole shutdown thing. The economy's going to tank soon regardless, due to the decades of horrible fiscal policy and BO turning it up to 11 the past 5 years. This provides an easy way for the Dems to blame ltdgov people and fiscal conservatives for the ensuing disaster.

    Of course the alternative is to never do anything noticeable enough to get blamed, which isn't an option either.

  8. Killazontherun   12 years ago

    Matt, whiskey this time. Shoot some back, mussy up the hair, and pretend you're a Baldwin.

    1. Killazontherun   12 years ago

      And go Alec on his ass if his producers put that 'Republican Strategist' tag on you like they do at MSNBC. Wait, that earlier article of yours was all about Republican strategy (fwiw, I didn't really find anything to disagree with in it either), so maybe in a technical sense it would not be inaccurate. Let the fist do the talking anyway!

  9. Hyperion   12 years ago

    I hope that Welch took my advice to get a goatee and lose the horn rims, or something to look more scarier. If not, maybe he can borrow the jacket for tonight.

    Anyway, listen Matt, unlike Joan whatthefuckhername, the Limey is a dude, even if he's a pussy, he still has a dick (supposedly), so you can actually punch his face, cause he's a dude (so it's said), and he's a fucking Limey for Christ sake, a fucking LIMEY! So, we will totally forgive you if you give up on honest debate and just punch his fucking limey face!

    1. johnl   12 years ago

      The Noah Bennet look works for Matt. Keep the hornrims.

  10. Killazontherun   12 years ago

    Did I just see CNN try to promote the owner of an up scale Manhattan saloon as the face of the proletariat? Are they fucking with us lumpens outside of the Beltway on purpose out of meanness and spite, or are they really that out of touch?
