Everything that is wrong with politics in America can be summed up by what I just saw on Hardball. The topic was Guantanamo Bay, and the guests were a lifelong CIA analyst/interrogator, a representative from Amnesty International, and…
A talk radio host.
It even said “talk show host” underneath his name.
The terrorists have won.

And did the radio host yell like a deaf man?
They often seem to do that when they appear on TV.
(For that matter, what’s the deal with that British guy who covers the UN scandals for Fox? He’s always shouting.)

Is “John Cole” Jon Stewart’s alter ego?

The Talk Radio Host is basically the High Priest. He kills the goat and offers its heart up to the gods. If there is no clap of thunder, then the rest of the ceremony can proceed.
Or something.

John, you really need to get a grip. You don’t seriously expect substance on “Hardball?” Matthews is no different than Hannity, O’Reilly or any of the other talking heads…they all just like to hear themselves talk. Why anybody listens is beyond me.

And at this point, talk radio has more credibility than the CIA and Amnesty combined.

I once saw Larry King interview Christine Amanpour (live from Kabul!) about the legal fate of Osama Bin Laden if he were caught in Aghanistan. At least she look bemused as she told him she wasn’t really up on the Afghan legal system or if one existed.

Like Cole said…

Well, they need someone they can count on to tow the batshit crazy Bush party line, and who else but some lunatic talk radio cretin can they count on to do that so well?
Notice I said “Bush party line” — cause that maroon and his entire inept administration are not the Republican party I want to be in anymore.
But I agree with Steven above, Matthew’s rating are, and have always been, in the tank. Personaly, I stopped watching when he congratulated his own past Peace Corps service for the 1000th time.

Matthews wants us to execute the prisoners in Gitmo. Now we are the terrorists.
