Mario Rubio + David Gregory= Insipidness Squared

[chieftain]

The great reporters and politicians of the past must weep when they see these prime exemplars of the level to which politics and journalism have descended.

1. infotainment at it's highest level

2. I grew up watching MTP and now I can't stomach anything but the Round table discussion,

and sometimes not even that.



Gregory just isn't smart enough to do that job properly. I think they need to go back to a panel for a while.

6. Selected

You don't get selected to host Sunday AM political shows judged on intelligence; not for many decades now.

You get selected for how well you follow orders.

3. Insipid

I like that word to describe them. Fits perfectly.

4. Was it that bad?

I can't make myself watch Rubio on anything. Stopped feeling Gregory a while ago too.

5. That was so wonderfully fluffy

but I hope Darrel Issa and Marco Rubio aren't allergic to feather down pillows.

7. I've posted this a couple of times but this is a real journalist

interviewing Rubio. It's in Spanish but with good subtitles. Check out Rubio's face as he's being grilled.

8. Thanks.

I don't know which I enjoyed more: a real reporter doing his job or the deer in the headlight look of the teaparty darling from Florida.
