MSNBC’s “Lean Forward” campaign still has some leaning to do as far as name recognition, as evidenced by this short Jeopardy clip: ***** Ouch. I wonder how loud the crickets would have been if they’d have shown a picture of Ed Schultz. (h/t Breitbart.tv)

Filed Under Media, Politics | 33 Comments

For some people, the crop of Republican presidential candidates has left their thirst for conservatism as unwhetted as Michael Moore’s appetite at a vegan restaurant.
