Really - A Commercial For Koch Industries On Meet The Press?......

Guess that says all we need to know about the new MTP.

Oh - by the way - I only watched it today because the President was being interviewed. This will be the last time.

And of all the questions the goatee boy could ask - he asks about his golfing after he made the statement on the Foley beheading.

I really thought that the 'toader' would cut off his goatee for this new gig. That didn't happen. What is the 'toader' hiding from?

Saw one the other day. I just hope this means we're actually making progress in letting people know the evil that is Koch

We were getting the ads quite frequently up until a couple of weeks ago, but I haven't seen one lately. They were consistently run during Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune (yes, we watch religiously--save your snark, I don't care). Then they seemed to stop.

Recently we've had some really good anti-Walker ads to offset the constant pro-Walker ads (thanks Koch suckers). But the Koch ads were kind of shocking to the system and I wondered if there were complaints. I hope so. They sure were a scary turnoff to my family.


P.S. The 'toader' is hiding from his double chin. You're tougher than I am. I can't watch that moran.

Advertising pays the bills for people like Chuck Todd and his massive salary, who then have to stroke the egos of those that pay for the ads and his salary.

Duh.

Follow the money. Wonder why Todd was a dick to Obama? Look who advertised. Ow the money.
