I’m not sure how the biology or logistics worked out, but people say Mark Halperin’s children are all the spitting image of Donnie…

Halperin has consistently been stressed to mask his political leanings!

He was more charitable than I would have been. When I see or hear Halperin, Lewindoski or Boris I mute or change channels. The only BSer that fascinates me is Kellyanne. That woman could lie her way out of a war zone and while it’s repulsive it’s like the accident you have to see.

ā€œHalperin, who appeared taken aback by Williams’ analysis of his own analyses, answered simply that it was ā€˜not a question of optimismā€™ā€¦ā€

Of course not.

It’s a question of being a shill.

Sucking up to the right.

And rolling over on his back to expose his belly to alpha-dog Trump.

(ETA: Where is the real Brian Williams, and what have they done with him?)

Very impolite translation:
ā€œKeep it in your pants, white boy. This isn’t that exciting.ā€

The Data Halperin is referring to is the size of his advance from Harper Perennial, a division of News Corp. to write the next ā€œGame Changeā€ book on Trump’s dumpster fire of a campaign.

ā€œIt’s based on looking at the data andā€¦ā€

…ignoring what the data say.

If Halperin says Trump has a chance, then we know for sure he hasn’t a chance in hell. Awesome.

I have to admit that I’ve been watching Williams this cycle with a great deal of skepticism, but he’s started to grow on me… There’s a dry sense of humor there and he has pretty good timing when he’s hosting a panel. This, however, is an amazing clip and long overdue for Halperin. I really wanted to like WADR because of Heilemann, but it’s unwatchable if Halperin is on the show.

Me thinks that Brian Williams knows a thing or two about BS. Brian probably has a good radar for BS and calling out Halperin is good for the soul. Keep it coming Brian.

Heh! Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.

I have really grown to like Brian Williams. I watched NBC’s coverage of 2012 election night and found him to be hilarious late into the night. That trend has continued during primary nights this cycle.

This is a man who called Obama a dick. Don’t that beat all.

Halperin: Very irresponsible for BWilliams here. Media’s job is to question Democrats and uplift Republicans. We are all either FOX or FOX wannabe.

I don’t care. I love me some Brian Williams. There! I said it.

Brian Williams redeeming himself by calling out the obvious. That Halperin smirk reveals his right wing shillness.

If Williams is looking to ā€œredeemā€ himself, this is a very good start. Now Brian, how about calling major BS on the joint FBI, Giuliani, Trump effort to pitch a clearly false story about the Clinton Foundation. Even Fox is now apologizing for having claimed ā€œindictments were imminent.ā€
