At least the Mafia would take you out to a decent restaurant before they kill you.  Fox News would probably give you ambrosia salad and a pastrami sandwich on white bread with mayonnaise.

OMG Jesse, if you didn’t personally HATE Hillary Clinton just for being a woman then the DNC wouldn’t have stolen the nomination and we wouldn’t be in this mess!

Well, since no politician with any intention of winning would hire him as a political consultant (his job pre-Clinton campaign spokesman) after this year’s disaster, he probably had few other employment options.

And he’s already proven that he excels at lying with a straight face, so he’ll fit right in at Fox.

“Oh, big deal.  The man needed a job, and Fox offered him one.  “

Kinda the point, isn’t it Dana?  That Fox would want him and that he would work for Fox says a lot about what kind of so-called ‘Democrat” he really is.  Whether one agrees with the GOP on pretty much everything (as you do) is irrelevant to the underlying point that Fox is the GOP house network, period.  It isn’t a question of him going to work for CNN or CBS, it’s a question of him de facto switching parties while remaining a nominal Democrat.

Dana: No they wouldn’t have, because Lanny would have blackballed their asses.

Things like this are part of the reason that many of us didn’t vote for Clinton - she assembled a political team with the worst instincts this side of Bob Shrum.

Yeah, not like the best and the brightest Obama chose to advise him on foreign policy.

Admittedly, it’s the same team Clinton would have chosen, but just because Clinton is hellbent on further genocide doesn’t excuse Obama’s plans for same.

Well, he did have <a href=“http://www.hks.harvard.edu/about/faculty-staff-directory/samantha-power”>Samantha Power</i> on his foreign policy team, but then she was overheard calling Hillary Clinton a “monster” and had to be fired.  It would have been nice to be able to keep her since she’s done a lot of important work on genocide, but politics are politics.

Gah!  Link troubles!

Samantha Power

Where are the PUMAs in this thread? Did they get bored? Or were they only contracted for the month of June?

Dana:

Does anyone here think that if Fox offered Jesse Taylor or Amanda Marcotte or Pam Spaulding $50,000 a year to do the one-or-two minute counter-points for these types of presentations, they’d turn it down?

Yeah, I think pretty much everyone here thinks exactly that, including Jesse, Amanda and Pam.

well hell, why go shill for fox when you can shill for obama from the comfort of your own home? appearing on fox would probably require changing out of jammies.

Dana, to blithely assume, that you do, that Fox’s in house Dems are there to provide a viable dissenting voice is laughable.  Your assertions are often very wrong, but they are rarely that downright laughable.  Are you going to try and convince me that the Washington Generals are there to provide genuine competition for the Harlem Globetrotters, too?

If you have a big enough ego, you can convince yourself that the money for presenting a not-all-the-way-rightwing soundbite every now and again isn’t contingent on the absolute effectiveness of your presentation.

Those poor honorable reporters at the Times. They have never told a lie. They’ve never put things on the front page that weren’t true. They’ve always tried to be “fair and balanced” in their reporting. Yes, the New York Times has always been the leader in honest reporting. They are Americas only hope for honest journalism…......sorry, I threw up a little bit. Happens every time I try to defend the New York Times.

“Yeah, not like the best and the brightest Obama chose to advise him on foreign policy.

It would be nice if we had a left in this country, wouldn’t it?

Hehehe. Good ‘un. I wish I knew the html to write Alan Colmes’ name in a tiny font, which was probably the best joke in Al Franken’s “Lies and the Lying Liars…” book.

Oh, and Obama’s foreign policy team makes me really glad I voted for Dennis Kucinich in the Michigan non-primary. I’m not going to Nader around when it really counts, but it’s worth doing in the primaries, IMO.

Good riddance to bad rubbish!

I say let Wolfson go and be a whipping boy for Hannity, O’Reilly, Hume & Barnes.  He was a smug humorless S.O.B. every time he went on Hardball,Morning Joe,etc. 

Plus,Clinton paid Wolfson $220,000 a month do be a terrible spokesman.
