There’s the intellectual equivalent of an arms race going on in the land of liberal television. Except the competitors seem to be racing to see who can say the dumbest thing possible.
MSNBC’s Ed Schultz got out to a big early lead, but Newsweek’s Eleanor Clift is coming on strong and liberal radio host Bill Press is keeping pace.
On Friday, for example, Clift and Press actually claimed on PBS’ McLaughlin Group that the United States auto industry has never been stronger.
No. Seriously. That’s what they said. We realize you doubt that anyone could be that delusional and still maintain a regular gig on network television, but we herewith submit the following transcript and video clip as proof.
Good lord, what morons.
Press: Then there was the auto bailout. Our auto industry is stronger than it ever was today. It was a George Bush program continued by Barack Obama. If he had not continued those two programs, we’d be in the toilet still today.
McLaughlin: (dumbfounded) You say the auto industry is stronger than it ever has been?
Press: Yes, it is.
Clift: Yes, it is.
Buchanan: No, it is not.
Crowley: No.
Press: GM reported its first profits, John.
McLaughlin: I know that. I know that.
Clift: Well, General Motors now has a nice fat share of the market in China. They have recovered, excuse me, and millions of jobs have been saved.
Why stop with millions, Eleanor. As long as your fantasizing, why not make it billions of jobs? Maybe even trillions of jobs.
The only question is, how do you keep yours?

To use a bit of the Moody Blues here--- " We're living in the land of make believe . Trying not to let it show .....".
Actually, Clift & Press are correct, the US auto industry is healthy...in RIGHT-TO-WORK STATES where foreign companies have set up shop. US based "big 3", not so much. Why? UAW!
Does she really think she's relevant? What an idiot! Just goes to show that you don't have to be intelligent to earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a year!
Eleanor serves a very good purpose on McLaughlin by demonstrating what liberal absurdity looks like. She is the antithesis of intelligence.
She is not a journalist and never really has been - she's a mouthpiece for the democrats. I stopped watching the show because of her...
What a stupid c*nt. And Clift's an idiot too.
People on 'ludes shouldn't go on national television.
In a way, they're right. They're stronger than ever if the US government won't let them fail by backing them with virtually unlimited taxpayer money.
it is all part of the north american union. we will be all one big happy family when china starts telling us what to do and how to do it.
I hear Obummer has not bowed down to anyone since his chinese master was here, i guess its time to go golfing and bow to his caddy.
What planet are those two elitist lamebrains from?
