Sweet Jebuz, I hate to beat this dead horse and I know I have diaried about it before, but after Mittens conceded, Mara spent three minutes talking about what a classy guy Mitt is.
I seriously think the woman gets confused about which network she is on.
Or she is making statements that either network can use for sound bites.
Saving her employers overhead costs, what a deal.
Now she is marveling how this election is going to require the President to do some soul searching about how he approaches the Republicans regarding entitlements and revenue enhancements.
As though Obama has just been too darn rigid in his approach to negotiations with the absolutely-willing-to-bend-over-backwards Disciples of Norquist.
Those fluffy bunny idiots who have trademarked Brinkmanship as their single mantra.
And goddamned Boehner announcing that his re-election means the nation wants Him and His to continue their rigid defiance of raising taxes on the rich.
F*ck me to tears.
I guess my fixation on the Mara situation is I can remember years ago when she was actually a cool kid and I thought she was so cool. A combination of unique names and neat voice and liberal politics yielded- dare I admit it- a slight crush. Now this.
But I digress.
I am thinking that Mara is trying to slide the whole fox noise entertainment and opinion, not news, into NPR- they don't need help with that, but they sure as hell don't need Mara Liasson hurrying their journey to irrelevance along any faster.
Mara needs to pick a side and stay there instead of pretending that working for fox is like working for any other news source.
On second thought, Mara has tainted her ability to be taken as a serious journalist- it's just time to go work for The Noise full time.
Thank the radio gods there is Brooke Gladstone and the On The Media gang to fill the vacancy left since Mara went cra-cra and Bob Edwards was shooed away.
