Here’s the Most Trusted Name in News’ Erickson, explaining why he wants to get teabagged by The Quitter’s cabana boy.

I so totally have a man-crush on this dude. He calls the Democrats ’socialists’, says Barack Obama is ‘bad for America’, and wants to privatize social security.

He says mean things about Democrats! He’s so dreamy!

And in the video clip,

He’s Ron Silver from the ’80s in “Blue Steel” and he sounds like Barry Goldwater.

Sounding like Barry Goldwater is a great way to lose elections. After his little “Extremism in defense of liberty is no vice,” tirade at the 1964 Republican Convention, Goldwater won just 6 states. But he sounded so awesome!

By the way, Blue Steel was released in 1990. Also.

Great hire, CNN!
