Yay.

I caught the last five minutes of MTP yesterday, and it was about the most defensive, condescending farewell speech I’ve ever heard, including Nixon’s “Kick Dick Nixon” screed.

It was also the most welcome, why-did-this-take-so-long, event on TV in quite a while.

His theme was “I take the criticism I’ve gotten as a compliment” which is perhaps the most clueless statement I’ve ever heard. How about you got nothing but criticism because you sucked at your job, dickhead?

- This should have included some explanation of who Chuck Todd is and preferably a link.
- As he is not a politician but just a newsman, not sure why P&E.
- But as this thread is just a rant, if you want to start a new one, try the Pit.

Here is an example of a link:
