Add John Harwood to the list of Barack Obama sycophants, for on Tuesday morning's "Squawk Box," CNBC's chief Washington correspondent actually crossed his fingers hoping that Hillary Clinton's speech at the Democratic National Convention tonight can bring about a much-needed catharsis amongst her disgruntled supporters.
In fact, he not only told the viewing audience to cross their fingers, but as he said it, also looked into the camera while crossing his own (file photo).
I kid you not:
You guys ready for some catharsis? I tell you what, Barack Obama is, and he's hoping Hillary Clinton can give it to him tonight. (Crosses fingers in front of the camera.) Fingers crossed, we'll talk about it next after the break.
GIVE ME A BREAK, John! Think you could at least TRY to hide your support for Obama while on camera? Or would that be beyond your scope as a journalist.
Of course, what should we expect from a guy who actually had the gall to tell a national television audience Saturday that Joe Biden's racial slurs/gaffes are an asset to the ticket?
Sheesh.

At least he had the sense

Wait, I take that back... then he would have went out of the shot.
Good grief!

Look at Harwood with his puppy-dog eyes!
They have given up all pretense!
And Noel, he may be right: Biden's gaffes may not actually be an asset, but I doubt they will be a detriment, because the media will either redefine them as "being courageous and speaking the truth" or if that won't wash, sweep them under the rug.

Roll Call is fixed
Tue, 08/26/2008 - 09:41 ET by Cool ArrowThe scheduled Roll Call of delegates will be engineered to ensure Hillary's count never overtakes Obama's. (FOX News)
Apparently the powers fear a breakaway. (My opinion)

Tue, 08/26/2008 - 09:53 ET by dscottWouldn't it be a hoot if Hillary DIDN'T call off counting her committed votes on the first ballot as negotiated!!!! Talk about Obama looking absolutely stupid, it will be cathardic all right!
Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, starving the poor one gallon of ethanol at a time. Fill your tank with E85 and cull a village.
I hope she calls for a
Tue, 08/26/2008 - 10:03 ET by bassndudeI hope she calls for a count of all of her supporters. All of her votes. Then, folks will see that the support for Obama is not as heavy as the MSM would like us to think. And it would show just how fractured the dems are. And may even widen the split.
Save a SeAL, club a liberal!!
Roll call

I wonder if it is outside
Tue, 08/26/2008 - 09:56 ET by bassndudeI wonder if it is outside the realm of possibility, that the Hillary count has increased? What is to keep the supers from changing their votes? Grease a few palms, and I bet Hillary could upset Obama. After all, the fat lady has not started to sing yet. Just wishful thinking, I guess.
Save a SeAL, club a liberal!!
What we are witnessing
Tue, 08/26/2008 - 09:57 ET by ConservativeRexWhat we are witnessing from the MSM as Conservatives may make our eyes roll at the moment, but this has very serious consequences.
If Obami wins, he will have his own Office of Propaganda. Which because he owns the media will mean the complete shut out of opposing ideas. This has happened in our country before, so it has president. Woodrow Wilson used his power for stymieing free speech extensively as did FDR, Wilson in the case of WWI and FDR, the Depression & WWII. Now, what do Wilson and FDR have in common with Obami.....oh, that's right! They are all democrats! The party that really, really, really loves free speech <sarc off>. We've been warned.
Harwood is a Democrat shill
Tue, 08/26/2008 - 17:40 ET by Captain KirockI've seen this stooge's act more than a few times on CNBC and MSNBC. Every single time, he spits out DNC talking points like they are his own. Harwood is not objective, he is a shill for the Democrats.
