Political Journalism Note

Stephen A. Smith was one of the reporter-panelists on "Hardball" with Chris Matthews tonight, discussing the Democratic debate. I have no comment on that, but I thought people might like to know.

He's been on Hardball a couple of times, IIRC. I've been lucky enough to avoid it.

"I AM TELLING YOU THAT DENNIS KUCINICH HAS THE KNOW-HOW TO BE PRESIDENT!"

 

[wickedwritah]

"There's a few Caucasian candidates, and then there's that Slavic man, Kucinich."

EVERYTHING I SAY ABOUT ENTITLEMENTS IS IMPORTANT

 

[ADifferentOkie]

Whenever I see or hear Screamin' A, I think of that bit with the sock puppet the guys did.
"I'M STEPHEN A. SMITH! I'M VERY IMPORTANT!"
The guy is just horrible.

Unless SAS is out with Inky's political staff covering the elections, he has no business being on Hardball discussing the presidential elections.

Oh right. He's not even on the Inky staff anymore.

THAT HEALTH PLAN IS A SHAMOCKERY!

CHRIS MATTHEWS, I WOULD NOT HIRE MIKE HUCK-A-BUCK TO BE A GYM TEACHER.

 

[Tom Petty]

i'm sorry i missed it.

That's pretty much par for the course on that show. He and Matthews are pretty similar in that their idea of a discussion on issues is similar to handing a two-year old some matches and a Dixie cup of gasoline while the tot is tap dancing on on a glass table top in golf shoes and when things go horribly awry they say "Wow, interesting!"

that could be the most interesting analogy i've ever read.

I've always been fascinated by failures gaining a never-ending ride on the Upward Mobility escalator.

SAS.

Bud.

List's endless.

George W Bush ends the list.

Is he really any dumber than, say, Howard Fineman?
Worse on TV?
C'mon, be honest.

I feel your pain.

But regardless of that . . .

Yes.

 

[DanOregon]

He is the equivalent of George Will or any other pointy head yakking about the glories of baseball.

I'd rather see SAS than Nancy Drew. At a sub shop I worked at, we turned the TV to Drew when we wanted the customers to leave. She always would yell out the most greusome words in every sentence: How could you defend a man who disemboweled his brother with a pitchfork? Worked every time.

Yes.

Survey says no.
There is no way that SAS is worse than half that MSNBC crew. Norah O'Donnell? Mike ****ing Barnicle? Joe (Dead Staffer In The Office) Scarborough. This is a massive container ship full of fail. SAS is merely the vomit bucket on deck.

Nancy Drew is out to solve the mystery of the Secret in the Old Attic

Nancy Grace, on the other hand, would happily disembowel all America using nothing more than her teeth and her TelePrompter.

"What's she doing in that attic? And what about THE CHILDREN!??"
