Joe is such a fool...

He just said (on Morning Joe) that his college education was on the bottom of things important to his life. May be true in his case because he obviously didn't learn much.

He's defending that Scott Walker was laughed at in London for not believing in evolution.

Mika is shaking her head again. I'm so sorry I turned on MSNBC this AM, but my local news was stupid. Now I remember why Morning Joe is absolutely the worst.

At least Howard Dean is on there trying to be reasonable. Others on the panel clearly think Joe is completely nuts, but they won't say too much.

Do the same people who watch Faux watch Joe? Who is his audience?
Who does he influence? I admit I do not watch political television at all. I tried, last week, to watch Rachel, but the lead up to someone losing their job!!!!!! reminded me of the local news - There are cannibal zombies roaming a neighborhood!!!! We will tell you which neighborhood at 11!!!! I hate that stuff.

I think it is more the later than the former.
His job is to keep the right wing narrative alive even on a "liberal" network.

MSNBC would probably do well or better if they replaced MJ with locked-up re-runs.

I have DirectTV satellite, which carries Bill Press on Free Speech TV (FSTV) for its morning show. I saw the start of MSNBC this morning b4 I had a chance to change the channel. That ANYONE would defend a politician, who won't say that evolution is settled science, is just vile, spineless. I suspect that Walker knows perfectly well that evolution is settled science, but he panders to the Christian fundies in Iowa to win the primary. I think Walker's Dad was a preacher, so maybe he is a religious ignoramous afterall.

Thank god, that as a Buddhist, we don't adhere to belief in a creator god.

The Washington Post had a puff piece on why Walker dropped out this morning.

Walker dropped out because he is a loser.

between the Kochs (who probably don't care what the GOP base believes) and the creationist rightwing base

Here's a bit on Kochs interest in and support of paleontology...

Scott Walker doesn't have a college degree, and is not knowledgeable. It's relevant to his desire to be President.

but a college degree is not a guarantee of intelligence.

Many that I know have a degree or two or three and they still vote publican and they're still stupid.

It would be good though, if our elected president had a degree or two...just sayin'.
