Sometimes I wonder when MSNBC is going to sweep Geraldo away from Fox News, because that’s clearly where he belongs. Geraldo starts out by asking Bachmann about her comments referring to the possible extortion of BP, and when she tries to answer why she made such an accusation, giving context to her comments that the Democrats had already tried to rob another oil spill fund to pay unemployment benefits, he accuses her of trying to change the subject. What an idiot! Her answer made perfect sense to her conclusion, even if you don’t agree with it. This is clearly the kind of gotcha journalism that we see all the time on MSNBC.
I included the Rep. Steve Scalise segment just to show you how outrageously outraged Geraldo is at Barton’s comments. I understand him wanting to continue the narrative, but it’s clear from his questioning that he was quite insulted by Barton’s apology and wants him off the committee. Scalise tries to move the conversation to much more important issues of actually getting the oil cleaned up, but Geraldo is having none of it. He wants Barton crucified and moves on after he doesn’t get it from Scalise. I will say that he did give Scalise time to make his case without just cutting him off each time, but that’s about all I am giving him.
