Politics: Max Headroom: John Avlon’s a crackpot, according to crackpots

  • Pot, meet kettle While Harold Ford, Jr. is guilty of nothing but idiocy, it’s certainly a symptom of what is leading to the insane controversy around New York Gov. David Paterson. Ford says Paterson should resign. Because, clearly, Harold Ford Jr. is the right guy to offer this advice.
  • Not very expert-like On “Fox News Sunday,” Chris Wallace deservedly calls neocon icon Bill Kristol an expert at Iraqi foreign policy when asking who he thinks the U.S. would prefer as prime minister. Kristol’s answer? He doesn’t know. Way to prove your theory wrong, Chris.
  • “Hatriot” Games One of Anderson Cooper’s guests in the wake of the Pentagon shooting, John Avlon, came up with the term “Hatriot” to describe the crazy cropping up. Irony: Avlon is being called a crazy by the 9/11 Truther movement, despite making sense in this clip.

  • Reveling in failureBill Kristol seems ready to pounce on Obama for his Olympic push. He compares him to George W. Bush, which just caused our brains to painfully implode. Uh … WHAT?

  • Trashing Glenn BeckJames Carville straight-up calls Glenn Beck nuts around 1:42. It’s an epic rant, one that makes us all warm and fuzzy inside. One of our favorite Carville rants ever.

Politics: Max Headroom: We wanna know which senator felt up David Brooks

  • Looking back For some stupid reason, the Bush administration’s dirty laundry with the CIA keeps coming up. Neocon icon Bill Kristol builds an intelligent context around the start of this Fox News panel chat.

  • Having her backJohn McCain, pretty much our favorite talking head ever, says some nice, supportive things about his former running mate, the soon-to-resign Sarah Palin, on “Meet the Press.”

  • Touchy-feelyNew York Times reporter David Brooks discusses the time an unnamed senator was feeling up his inner thigh at a dinner a couple years ago. Anyone wanna guess who it was?
