23 June 2010: The Place For Criminals
Paul June 23rd, 2010
I’m hooked on MSNBC, which bills itself as “The Place For Politics.” But why is it that, whenever HARDBALL with Chris Matthews, COUNTDOWN with Keith Olbermann or THE RACHEL MADDOW SHOW aren’t on the air after 10 PM at night, or on weekends, the programming inadvertently turns to something called LOCKUP, a prison documentary about hardened criminals? Is this a portent of things to come in politics? Is it just a matter of time before LOCKUP starts featuring senators and congressmen who ought to be in jail for defending oil companies because they get Big Payments from them? Or for sexually practising in private what they condemn sanctimoniously in public? Or maybe just for sheer insufferable incivility towards the rightfully elected President and Commander-in-Chief of these United States?
