That's what I was referring to - he started to go down the basketball path when MSNBC cut him off for insane Olbermann ranting.

Now MSNBC chooses to show that clip as their "coverage" of his acceptance speech.

I"m pretty stunned by what I'm seeing on MSNBC.

The commentators that say this isn't a referendum on Administration policy don't get that it's that very disconnect that landed them in this situation.

almost 3 hours of MSNBC and they are spiraling deeper into this disconnect.

not once have they even hinted that there might be a single positive attribute or policy position of Brown.

they have pointed out he's an advocate of water boarding

they've speculated every possible way of legislatively pushing through HC reform without once questioning if maybe it shouldn't pass as is; without ever questioning if what voters are saying matters.

at least Fox puts on opposing pundits. this is amazing.

brown was more casual than coakley - that's why she lost; she's a tough Attorney General afterall.

voters want casual men not tough women.

un-freaking-believable.

I just saw that. It's like having somebody wake you up with a bullhorn and then not being able to understand why you woke up.

. . . and Matthews looks like he has hemorrhoids.

Lawrence O'Donnell just said Brown won due to things outside of Washington like the underwear bomber.

David Gergen is the brightest of all the lefties and he said in no uncertain terms that if the admin doesn't think this is about Obama's politics, they are in la la land.

Anybody with common sense can see this. It shouldn't surprise anybody that the yahoos over at MSNBC would cover this thing the way they did.

I haven't watched MSNBC since the last major election. They've either made a more drastic turn left recently or were just completely blown away by the results.

Even the reporters on the scene were involved - Nora something is the one that said Brown was basically a fan of waterboarding and she lamented that Coakley didn't use that in ads. It was a bit unreal and entertaining.

They out foxed Fox by a good bit.

Calling them reporters is a bit of a stretch. What they were doing was no more reporting than what Hannity and co. were doing over a fox after Obama won.

I was referring to Nora O'Donnell (I believe that's her name). She's definitely an NBC reporter - she's the one the brought up the water boarding thing.

Agree completely on Matthews, Maddow, Olbermann (hosts) and pundits like Howard Fineman, a woman from Salon etc.

I hate MSNBC but I had to flip over last night to catch their coverage, I was loving it, they were in a meltdown over there. I was starting to get worried their "reporters" were going to stroke out.
