Walsh isn't foaming at the mouth ... he sounds 'reasonable', but he is towing the very right-wing line.

Basher is a great interviewer and I love it when he has these kinds of nutty Repuglicans on his show.

I thought the same thing. He was quite measured in his responses. He's still an asshole though.

As in placing one's toes on the prescribed line like a good little wingnut.
(Sorry, but that one is just one of my own personal pet peeves. No offense intended.)

I was thrilled with the thought I'd never have to hear that scumbag's voice again...now here he is. On MSNBC. Talking nonsense...I'm going back in my hole...

One of my happiest election night memories was seeing that asshole defeated and my fervent hope was that I'd never have to see or hear him (or Allen West) ever again!

Continuing to give these jerks air time makes no sense to me.

All I could do was scream at the TV...

I don't know how the hell Martin managed to maintain his cool other than his masterful way of slicing and dicing lunatics like him with his words.

He's unelectable, he's a moral cretin and he's crude and disrespectful.

The only thing I can think of why Martin would want to interview him is to discredit the Tea Party cadres who got him elected.

And to think about it, that's not a bad idea.
