MSNBC defends the American electoral process from rudeness. Thank G*d!

I suppose elections aren’t that important, anyway. We don’t need to see all the candidates.

So MSNBC no longer ranks Mike Gravel. And why not? I quote: “Were not ranking Mike Gravel… This guys not just a third-tier longshot, he might be a little, um, off. Seriously, he was downright rude. Why should anyone agree to appear on stage with him? And why should any mainstream Democratic group invite him?” White House 2008 rankings: The Democrats - National Journal - MSNBC.com

Yeah. Rudeness. And he might be a little “um, off”. Um, off? This is national reporting, mind you. Hmm, let’s see, NBC is a national broadcaster of shows that consist of people submitting humiliating and/or embarrassing video footage, reality TV where people allow themselves to be fired in a humiliating fashion while coworkers look on contribute to the debacle. It seems that rudeness is “in”. In fact, rudeness sells. So, why don’t we see Mike Gravel? Why don’t you ask MSNBC?

Oh, wait, you know, there’s no byline on that story. At the bottom, it says “Copyright 2007 by National Journal Group Inc.” Maybe ask them. Oh, wait, more research (God, I love the Internet). Contact Marc Ambinder “The Hotline’s Associate Editor”, or Chuck Todd “political director of NBC news”. Their names appear to be associated with this.
