calimary's JournalThis would be funny, except for the context.
This whole DISGRACEFUL and rather unsettling affair - with the Secret Service asleep at the switch - is anything BUT funny. This is one time I'm reading Andy Borowitz (whose work I just love) and NOT laughing.
First class jerk.
Would be leading the climate deniers OR would go EXTREMELY in the other direction: we should actually embrace climate change. Helping it along would be even better. After all, I watched as he gave testimony before some Senate or House committee, during which, shockingly, he stated "...but when the last tree is felled, Jesus will come back!" Incredibly, he was stone cold sober and wide-eyed about this. You could tell he believed this with much feverishness. About dropped my jaw to the floor - maybe that's the reason why I haven't been able to shut up about this ever since.
And ironically, the Scotsman James Watt's namesake, lo these many years later,
was reagan's infernal choice for Interior Secretary. Also named james watt. Also proved to be potentially toxic to the longterm health of Planet Earth.

Found that here, in the comments:

Who cares? You can get all the republi-CON spew you want at the other network down the street.
WHY NOT make it more leftward-leaning? I think a "left wing host" might do EXACTLY that: change the trajectory. And MSNBC with its lineup during the week would be the perfect place to experiment along those lines.
It's not as though we've had some long parade of decidedly left-leaning partisans hosting "Meet the Press" up til now, have we? I'd give Rachel Maddow a shot at it, if it were my decision to make. Besides, a female host is a big change, in and of itself.
And idiocy too! He's the guy who fucked up the Presidential Oath of Office!
Couldn't even get it right when he had more than two months to practice. HAD to fuck up the soundbite of the oath-taking of the first Black American President. First African American President of the United States. And roberts fucked up the soundbite. Couldn't get the oath straight and botched it - so definitively that they had to do the damn thing over!
Just galls me to NO end! No. As a retired broadcast journalist, I WON'T get over that! That priceless, historic, epic soundbite - that WILL be among the soundbites used in EVERY retrospective and historical review from now on - including eventual retrospectives on the entire 21st CENTURY - is RUINED. FOREVER. Thanks, roberts. You idiot ASS. And the "president" you rode in on.
Jealous here in L.A. but glad you've gotten it!
We need it all over the place! Central Valley's a VERY good place to start.
No kidding.
Now THAT'S a good idea!
Because that's the kind of thing we're gonna have to do to purge this nation of the reagan affliction. I swear he's a veritable political equivalent of the ebola virus. We're going to have to re-educate America. We've been battered and brainwashed by three to four DECADES of concentrated shit by the extreme wrong wing. Study "The Powell Memo."

THAT is what we have to counter-act.
