Can't tell you how disappointed I was with MSNBC coverage of elections this evening. Chris Matthews has become insufferably full of himself. He actually questioned Rand Paul's description of the Senate as the "world's greatest deliberative body" -- a well-known and historic reference -- by asking if "anybody" has ever heard of that before.
Rachel Maddow, intelligent and articulate as she is, has become insufferably strident and doctrinaire. Eugene Robinson should stick to writing because he can't keep up with these TV personalities. I thought Larry O'Donnell was off his nut talking about the U.S. defaulting on its debt but that apparently is the received wisdom inside the Beltway if Congress should somehow not raise the debt ceiling. Saints preserve us. Keith Olbermann's rhetorical leading questions are just tiresome, though his passion is still engaging.
These were my heroes in the 2008 election. How times have changed.
