Dinesh D'Souza??? "Guest" on The Ed Show..WTF??

He ADMITTED guilt in a federal suit...and MSNBC gives HIM airtime???

C'Mon...let him do his time and then Fox can have him..

from wikipedia (and other sources)In January 2014, D'Souza was indicted on charges of making illegal political contributions to a 2012 United States Senate campaign.[12] On May 20, 2014, D'Souza pleaded guilty in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York to a charge of using "straw donors" to make illegal political campaign donations. The charge carries a sentence of 10 to 16 months according to the plea agreement reached between D'Souza and federal prosecutors.[13]

2. Just A Comment On The Show Itself.....

This is the Ed Show and as such Ed has put his own style and slant to the show.

I am bothered by the fact that there is a guest host on today subbing for Ed - and I took notice that this guest host says exactly what Ed says everyday on the show. This was evident at the point of the show where they have a survey and the results will be given at the end of the show. This guest host said or read exactly what Ed does everyday.

I don't know why this gets to me - but one would think that Ed would want his words to be his and his only and not let the guest host read from the same generic playbook. Also as a guest host I would think that he would want to put his slant on the show.

What I came to realize is that this show is basically all scripted out and they are just reading stuff.

I know I'm being petty here - but this just got to me today. I guess I'm just in a bad mood and feeling manipulated today.

Hell I must be in a bad mood. Last night I advocated we take down the Statue of Liberty - because the "Give me your tired......"
inscription has no meaning today.

Today I advocated that President Obama ask for $1 billion to build a wall to protect our borders - basically give the Repubs what they've been asking for. See my posts elsewhere on DU to understand where I was coming from.
