Breaking Brad: Does the 'B' in MSNBC stand for Barack?

Snip:

* MSNBC is denying allegations that it is “pro-Obama.” How could anyone think that? Just because MSNBC anchors are still wearing their “Obama in 2012" T-shirts and referring to everybody who disagrees with the president as “political maggots”?

* Just because the MSNBC crew set off fireworks after announcing Obama is up in the approval polls hardly makes them pro-Obama.

* And just because the “B” in MSNBC now stands for “Barack” hardly makes 'em pro-Obama.

* Mitt and Ann Romney just sat down for their first interview since the election. In a new trend, they blamed losing the election on the OPS Board.

Obama, especially in the context of the current world and the alternatives. If telling it like it is sounds pro Obama, there's a reason for that.

* Geraldo may run for Senate. All of a sudden, 'Joe the Plumber' is starting to look overqualified for politics.

And some of the stuff he wrote was more adult than that crap.

It really isn't even mildly amusing.
