I always gave Halperin a 5 out of 10 score on trying to hide his hackness by pretending to be objective. But this morning he would score a 0.
We all knew that Rev. Wright and Ayers and Rezko would come back into the campaign. And I saw that McCain was trying to get some cover for this by using the "totally legitimate" housing issue to say that everything was now on the table. But their logic for this was so disjointed that I never felt their hacks in the media would try to sell it. Silly me.
For anyone whose career relies on their intellectual credibility it is certainly a risk to adopt an intellectually dishonest opinion very forcefully. But Mark Halperin is such a tool that he impaled himself on the republican talking points this morning, allowing the host and others to repudiate his BS with vigor.
For Halperin to suggest that this was the worst moment of the campaign FOR OBAMA because of what was to come. And to go on to say that "Obama started it" after Britney, Paris and "He wants to lose the war to win an election" from the rethugs was laughable.
He should be fired for idiocy. Moron, let the campaign themselves pull that tortured logic out of their ass. We know they just want some minimal cover to introduce their smears. But you are supposed to be a journalist. At least act like one.
To see George Stephanopoulus get heated and smack down his argument was priceless.
On another note anyone from this site who clicks any link to that tool's blog or any other right wing site should be imprisoned for treason. Do not give these guys any more revenue.
