Discussion: Chuck Todd Doesn't Like Role In McConnell Ad: It's 'Cheap'

Chuck Todd shows that he’s in it for the money.
Details tonight at 11…maybe…if there’s something in it for us.

Translation: I didn’t get paid to be in an ad.

Yes, but is it disqualifying?

Aeons ago. And Dick Morris worked for Clinton campaign…eh. I’m no longer impressed by some of these assholes’ resumes. It’s no indication of where their allegiance lies when it comes to politics often times. Most of them in their younger days got hired fresh from college, like someone taking the first job they could get along their preferred course study in higher education. He didn’t graduate from college either, though his course of study was Poli-Sci. He left to work for the Harkin presidential campaign and seems to have left soon after that same year when Harkin lost to work for National Journal’s Hotline. Quite the stepping stone for a Mr. Nobody without a college degree that had one foray into politics.

It is cheap and likely useless. And McConnell has hidden himself from questions for months. This is a highly cynical campaign we are witnessing in Kentucky.

But not, apparently, disqualifying. Not in Chuckie’s mind, anyway.

Because most Kentuckians did not.

“I don’t take back my analysis.”

And remember, Chuck: ‘analysis’ starts with ‘anal.’

Maybe he was referring to an anal cyst----what he sees when he looks in a mirror.

“But no journalist likes to be used in a TV ad.”

OK, Todd, but what do things journalists dislike have to do with you?

I think what’s odd is that you can’t put anything on air from the NFL without the expressed written permission of the league for use of anything to do with their broadcasts or licensed images because they have sole ownership of those rights…but you can use whatever bullshit some clown toady in the press says on TV on a cable news channel or network station…Don’t they have sole rights to their broadcasts as well? Cause what they have on now surely isn’t what we used to call “the news”. I thought Comcast had a monopoly like the NFL. Didn’t someone have to say at MSNBC that it was alright for McConnell to use Toady Todd in their ad? Just curious. How does that happen anyway?

Just rambling. Sorry.

I believe this falls under the “fair use” standard.

How so? Do you know? Cause I’m pretty sure that in previous campaigns use of certain cable news stuff has been challenged…but I’d have to do a major google search I suppose.

If I’m not mistaken, The Macaque Known as Chuck Turd was the dude who interviewed Mittens when Mittens announced for the first time on national television that he had no intention of releasing any more tax returns other than the two convenient years he released…right? And yet Chuck Turd never declared Mittens “disqualified” for that.

And yet here he is throwing feces at someone for keeping their voting history secret.

I guess “I voted for Obama” is far more important to The Turd than “I’ve been paying less taxes than a daycare worker despite earning more than all the daycare workers in CA for the past 15 years.”

Well, it’s up to KY’s citizens to decide to either get off their butts and elect a senator up to serving them or sitting at home and have Mitch serve himself and his inherited Chinese wealth. The choice is theirs.

Yes, Chuckie, it’s cheap of them to use your cheap shot in their ad without so much as a by-your-leave.

And I’ll tell you something else, Chuckie, they won’t respect you in the morning either.

And that’s for free.

Since you state it that way, I think Toadie doesn’t need more rope. He has had it.

Well, I suppose we can take Todd’s name off the “Edward R. Murrow Excellence in Journalism Award,” and instead nominate him for the Art Linkletter “Journalists Say the Darndest Things” award…

Why would we expect Chuckles to take back his analysis? He was quick to open his mouth about a non-issue, while completely missing the bigger picture. Now that McConnell has put him front and center in the campaign, Chuck wants to indirectly call out McConnell.

Too late Chuckles, you’ve been used by the GOP (again)!
