Spitzer's Feeble Defense: Hey, Politicians Lie All The Time About All
As defenses go to the charge of having lied to the people of New York about illegal activities, Eliot Spitzer's was feeble at best. Hey, politicans lie all the time about all sorts of stuff, was the essence of Client #9-turned-Comptroller-candidate's response.

MSNBC’s Roberts: ‘Men Should Not Care About The Sanctity Of Sperm
Once again, Thomas Roberts seems to confuse his job as a news reporter with a Democratic political strategist.

At issue was a piece by Kathleen Parker who…
MSNBC's Roberts: 2012 Was GOP's 'Last Real Viable Chance' at Presidenc
In September 2012, MSNBC host Joe Scarborough took a shot at frequent Morning Joe panelist and guest host Mike Barnicle, griping that the liberal made his morning show a “Marxist variety hour.” That observation was justified again Tuesday, as guest host Barnicle’s all-liberal panel bashed House Republicans for the second day in a row – this time on immigration reform.

'Morning Joe' Panel Does Hillary Two-Step: Defend Her, Call Critics Se
On Saturday, reporter Jonathan Martin wrote an interesting piece in the New York Times about Republican efforts to paint Hillary Clinton as “old news” for her potential 2016 run.

On Morning Joe today, Jonathan Capehart hailed the loud protest in the Texas Capitol gallery by pro-abortion rights advocates—which prevented the state senate from voting on a pro-life bill—as an example of "democracy in action."

Another Bizarre Scarborough Blooper About Zimmerman Trial: Joe Doesn't
Another day, another bizarre blooper by Joe Scarborough regarding the trial of George Zimmerman.
We reported yesterday that Scarborough—ignoring the rule against double jeopardy—claimed that the absence of African-Americans on the jury would subject a verdict to immediate appeal. Today, the Morning Joe host curiously claimed that the prosecution had a big hill to climb because "you don't…
