I wonder why other cable news networks are having such a problem connecting with viewers?

It’s a mystery.

Ed Schultz of MSNBC, that is…

Ed Schultz seems to think he could gather a crowd like Glenn Beck did last weekend. Uh huh. Sure you can Ed.

I bet you can fly too if you just shut your eyes and wish hard enough.

And by the way, I’m not suggesting Ed Schutlz is a nazi. I’m saying he’s a buffoon.

Which is unfortunate because he was scheduled to make a recent appearance on MSNBC. The newly unmedicated Grayson said “Bush let 9/11 happen” and referred to the Ground Zero mosque as “a health club.”

I’m thinking someone might want to test the water in Grayson’s district for impurities. I can’t come up with any other explanation for how this man was ever elected to public office.

Because, you know… that makes perfect sense, right?

Remember – This is the cable news network that supports Obama no matter what he says or does. Video via Mediaite via Allahpundit.

Way to go, Tucker. Way to go.

Last Monday for some reason I was watching MSNBC’s Morning Joe, which I never do.  I was working away and not looking at the TV screen but my ears pointed up when I heard Joe Scarborough call for a military draft for the wars in the middle east. I actually wondered if I had misheard him.

Then I saw that DaTechGuy, who I know watches Morning Joe, noticed the same thing and actually blogged about it.

Today, NewsBusters noted that MSNBC’s Dylan Ratigan called for a military draft. What’s going on over there?

I sincerely hope all the 18 to 25 year-olds who voted for Obama are paying close attention, because they are exactly who would get the call if a military draft was instated.

Then again, some of America’s young “activists” seem fond of warfare.

Oh, just one more thing. Do you think anyone besides me would be talking about this if FOX News was actively calling for a new military draft?

Update: Instapundit links, thanks!

Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews, actually. Oof!

Ed Schulz is so upset about the way Obama’s handling the Gulf oil spill that he’s channeling Woody Allen.

I hope Ed Schulz is still on the air the next time a Republican is president. That’ll be fun to watch.

Such fun to watch…

Chris Matthews has lost the magic over the BP Oil disaster and Obama’s lackluster response.

No more leg tingles here.

BONUS: Watch for the defeated expression on Andrea Mitchell’s face.

Chris Matthews on MessDNC last week:

“I don’t think the government is doing its best. Why doesn’t the President go in there, nationalize an industry and get the job done for the people? There’s a national interest in this, not just a BP interest.”

Sounds familiar, Chris. I seem to remember a certain dumbass in the senate suggesting the same thing in 2009.

A California lawmaker who got a communist dictator to harbor a cop-murdering Black Panther fugitive and accused the CIA of selling crack cocaine in black neighborhoods has become the laughing stock of Congress for threatening to nationalize the oil industry.

Waters told the president of a major oil company to “guess what this liberal would be all about? This liberal would be all about socializing — uh, uh, would be about basically taking over and the government running all of your companies.”
