Jumpin' Jesus on a pogo stick.
Jonathan Capeheart, Washington Post writer, just predicted on today's Sunday edition of "Morning Joe" that after this election, the term Bradley Effect will no longer be salient.
Joe Scarborough, MSNBC's resident fool and bloviator, responded as follows [I'm paraphrasing]:
"That's if Obama wins. If he doesn't win: bar the doors!"
If I were to give Joe the benefit of the doubt -- which I'm not inclined to do -- well, I can't come up with an innocuous reading of his comment.
On the other hand, it is likely that "bar the doors" was meant as a reference to -- ummm -- all the libruls, radicals and black people who will storm the streets and seats of power if Obama doesn't win???
Am I wrong to take offense to the "bar the doors" comment? Am I wrong to assume that Joe doesn't intend something innocuous? Please comment.
When video is available, I'll put it up so y'all can judge for yourselves.
