| Does anyone know the political history of this guy on Morning Joe |
|
I've seen him on ESPN in the past. I think his name is "Stephen A. Smith," but it's possible that I've got that wrong.
He just said that there will be a Republican landslide in the next round of elections, because the Democrats have taken the country to the "extreme left."
I think he may be right be right about a Republican shift, but not for the reason he states. For the life of me, I can't detect much of a leftward shift at all. Much less, a turn to the "extreme" left.
I wonder what this guy is smoking. Can someone explain his line of thinking?

| 2. I've seen him as a sport's commentator. |
|
I think he should stick with that group. I have also seen him on political venues, but I don't know what he offers in that except personal opinions. He's got as much right to be wrong as the rest of them.
I like him as a sport's person. He offers his unvarnished opinions. I don't always agree with him, but I believe he says what he thinks without couching it in some more easily digested form. This is his shtick, but I prefer his open and direct method to some others.
He probably answers to some MSM group, but I don't know who.

Didn't think of that. Damn it. I hate it when even personal opinions are corporate-owned. But they are.

| 6. I still don't know if SAS toes any line. |

There are probably some he knows he better not cross or else. He isn't as obsequious and afraid as a lot of the others.

... but not because of an "extreme left shift". I defy him to justify that characterization.
No, it will be the economy and the health care bill that sink this administration.

| 8. Stephen A. Smith is an idiot who wore out his welcome covering NBA. |
|
He's considered an idiot BY SPORTS FANS.
I don't know who decided he was needed, but I'm sure his typical line of bullshit is smiled on by the Morning Joke crowd.
