Smirking Mark Mackinnon had his head handed to him by John Heileman today on MJ.

[CTyankee]

Mark had his little chart showing CEO pay under Presidents G.H.W. Bush, Clinton, G.W. Bush and Obama. The graph line goes up dramatically under Clinton, then down under G.E.Bush, then up again under Obama. See! See! Clinton and Obama were responsible for inordinately big CEO pay!

Heileman called bullshit on Mackinnon, pointing out that the CEO pay was tied to stock market gains, not policies of the President. And the reason CEO pay went down under G.W.Bush was because of the stock market dive.

Mackinnon's smirk turned to a scowl. He stammered out a nonsensical response.

Good for Heileman. He reveals that guy for what he really is, a stealth REpuke whose only real cause is to defeat Obama. No Labels, my ass....

1. Excellent

I was half asleep listening to MJ today.

Considering how REthug MJ is ~ he has been fairly nice to Democrats lately ~ I'm sure things will change with him shortly.

Glad his guest got blasted, I didn't see that part.

2. It was worth watching just to see Mackinnon's face turn sour.

I'm so sick of his No Labels crap, his man scarves and his smirk. Heileman was laughing in his face as he was destroying him. Mackinnon was NOT pleased.

3. Correlation without Causation: Such a wonderful tool for liars and charlatans of all stripes.

Christopher Columbus, who surely was a charlatan, used a predicted lunar eclipse in 1503 (which he knew because he had an almanac) to dupe the indigenous Jamaicans into believing that the white man's god was angry with them for not kissing Columbus's conquistador butt sufficiently.

4. Mark McKinnon, traitor, who assisted Karl Rove in inflicting G.W. Bush on us.

Not to mentioned his shadowy role in the failed sting/setup regarding the stolon debate prep video. McKinnon (and probably Rove) surely benefited form Louis Freeh's failure to investigate properly and allow a low level staffer, Juanita Yvette Lozano, to take the fall for it. No doubt in my mind that McKinnon quietly paid off Lozano later to compensate her for protecting his butt. Note, Lozano had also babysat for McKinnon and had run up some $10,000 in personal expenses on McKinnon's company credit card, yet McKinnon declined to press charges. Stinks to high heaven of a deal, imo. Also lost in the shuffle was the fact that McKinnon initially backed up the claim of Lozano that the package which turned out to be the stolon video was a pair of McKinnon's pants she was returning to a Gap store. And the pants story has just a few holes in it as well. There was a GAP store closer than a post office where the pants could have been returned to without paying any postage. So it is not at all clear why McKinnon would have had Lozano returning his pants by mail - he claims it is because he has an odd size and so had to order online but of course that would not preclude returning the pants directly to a GAP store for credit and ordering the replacements online. It is clear McKinnon covered up something in this mess. Maybe he was just trying to protect Lozano and maybe he was trying to protect himself. Too bad Louis Freeh's agents weren't a little more effective in getting Lozano to tell the whole tale which might have led to McKinnon and from there to Rove and even Bush and then maybe Florida would not have been so important in 2000.

5. Wish I had seen that. He got what he deserved.

6. If you go to msnbc.com you can see the segments of Morning Joe. I don't remember exactly

where it was in the 3 hour show but it's worth a search just to see the look on Mackinnon's face and his weak response and Helleman's obvious glee in trashing Mackinnon.

I love these moments on live tv...

7. Lil' Joe was crying this morning talking about who the Dems will run in 2016.

Because he knows that it is already over for the GOP this year.

He kept repeating "we've got a long way to go yet" like some kid who was muttering to himself while walking by a grave yard after dark.

"I'm not scared. We've got a long way to go yet."

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
6 whole fucking months, Lil' Joe!!

It's over, mofo!!

As long as Ann Romney keeps talking in detail about how their dog had the runs when they put him on top of the car when they went on vacation, we're winning.
