and I heard it on npr yesterday.

1. Because they are political analysts not reporters.

2. It will give them lots to talk and write about.

3. Like Tweety & comedians saying Shrub was fun, GORE was boring

LENO and other comics claim that a-holes are good for them because they provide more material. The Politico a-hole Mike ALLEN (the weird dude, son of Birch Society dude) recently said the same thing, about "fun" and "make it interesting" if Rethugs took over.

Yaas, they are supposedly above it all and their fun is all that matters. It's all a game because they are so sophisticated and their priorities are SO in order.

4. Reporters are news junkies.

As a journalist, I find even tragic days immensely interesting and exciting. It's how reporters get reputations as being cynical and heartless.

5. When a top notch reporter does a story, the reader should not be able to tell the reporter's

political affiliation.

6. I don't think a reporter saying a switch in majority is "exciting" necessarily means more than what

it says. It might, but it's not the first thing I think of.

7. Yes, continuous stonewalling and regression is going to be "Fun".

Watching this country go further in the shitter because of petulant spoiled fucking brat assholes gumming up progress on the marching orders of their owners is going to be "fun".

Superceding the will of the people is going to be "FUN!"

Watching working and unemployed Americans suffer all for the goal of reducing Obama to another one-term Carter (wish all you want for President Failin', bastards . .. it's not going to happen), it's going to be "FUN FUN FUN".

That is, if you have a cushy job that allows for idiotic opinion to be broadcast to the masses.

8. I think it's because...

you just never know what kind of sexual deviance the Republicans will stoop to next!

[Aviation Pro]

9. Because the media are filled with assclowns and....

...familiars of the Republicants.

[Chulanowa]

10. Because Reporters are like cops or firefighters

They're bored out of their minds and doing nothing useful with themselves until something bad happens.

11. the repugs taking over congress doesn't bother me, it's the way

that are doing it that I find very frightening. if you win by lying and setting the house on fire is there any hope for any of us.
