Beltway Hack Enters KY Senate Campaign
Perhaps the job of hosting the virtually moribund "Press The Meat" on NBC has given hacktacular host Chuck "Not My Job" Todd a false sense of power. Appearing recently on MSNBC's Morning Squint, Todd loftily pronounced Dem Senate candidate Alison Lundergan Grimes "disqualified" for the Senate because she declined to say who she voted for in 2008 and 2012. That certainly must have tickled Rethuglican Minority Leader Sen. Mitch "Missy" McConnell, since he's now using Todd's "disqualified" comment in his TV ads against Grimes.
We assumed all along that fact-based journalism wasn't Todd's "job," being a Beltway political horse race pundit. With his moronic comments about Grimes' legitimate right to privacy in the close Kentucky race, he's become part of Missy McConnell's messaging. Well done, jackass.
BONUS: Ah, the craven, clueless media have found their shiny object.
