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!

At least someone is speaking truth to power on CNN.
Will Erick and Tweety come out of the closet together bonding over George Bush in a flight suit and stuffed codpiece looking Manly?
Isn’t Eric (Filius D’Ericus) a native of Atlanta? Obviously, the budget for CNN’s search committee was less than optimal.
Good thing those conservatives are rock-ribbed, stony-faced realists who stick to the issues, unlike us flighty cult-of-personality Obamabots.
Ouch…I’ll have to pour bleach in my eyes to get that image out of my brain.
Man Crush what straight guy uses that term? I bet Erick checks out other guys in the shower

Ever since J Edgar Hoover its the Publicly straight repressed gays who have been at, near or behind the most vicious plots of the right.
My bad and I complained about Demi doing the samething yesterday.
Erick Erickson should be in prison.
as they say TCU…in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king
I agree Obama wants to privatize Social Security but Bush wanted to do that too what was Erick saying about that I wonder?
Then he’d learn to look at man crushes in a whole new light.
As opposed to what Erick? Eliminating it? I find your clutching of pearls over the possible privatization of SSI more than a bit specious.
I think he already knows
Wasn’t Ron Silver in “Blue Steel” a stalker and rapist?
M: I saw your note from earlier….I hear there is alot of stuff in the medical arena: Seton system is sort of the big dog, but also Dells children Hosp, Austin Diagnostic center; North Austin Medical center….and others. I know some of them post on websites along w/ads etc. Just a thought since you mentioned med; that is an area where Austin had recent expansion.
No — you’re reading the sentence wrong. He’s saying Miller wants to privatize SS.
I so totally have a man-crush on ..
Bout time somebody finally brings the bedrock reality of our entire tv bilge “political discourse” complex out of the closet.
Thanks Rev. I’ve been trying.
That’s nothing new. Tweety’s been getting thrills up his leg for years now.
Yep .. and quelle suprise, he was the Tweety in the coal mine
Ah, c’mon, respect the guy’s love life. Most right wingers are closeted gays, aren’t they. This is the only way he could send love and kisses, under the guise of a man crush.
What’s CNN? /s
He also wants buy back land from the federal government like Denali National Park and extract resources from it. That is how he will wean Alaska from getting 1.84 for every dollar they send to the Feds.
Alaska signed away that right when they agreed to become a state.
And him with a law degree, he could not figure that out!
Great (new) name for Matthews’ show.
Haven’t watched CNN for years. Who is this thug? Is that his picture at the top, the Mussolini-lookin’ guy?
It’s probably the beard, Erick son of Ericktion.
Joe Miller, the surprise leader in Alaska’s unresolved Republican Senate primary, said Sunday that the growing national debt requires “belt tightening” that should include cutting back on federal dollars that his state receives.
someone should mention this to the alaskans… past the flag wavin’, baby kissin’, palin rootin’, i wonder if they realized some his goals. if so, this is a blatant example of people voting against their own economic interests.
Thanks, BT. I just threw up in my mouth. ICK.
What straight guy uses “man crush”?? I have many gay friends, but I know of no straight guy – even the young metrosexuals – who use terminology like that. It’s really weirdly “interesting” that totally taking-juvenile-to-a-different-level fils Ericson revels in teh gheyz & the Repukes clap and cheer. WTF?
I’m confused: is loathsome son of Eric praising Babble Spice’s cabana boy for wanting to privatize Soc Sec or dissing the Barackstar for the same thing??? So hard to figger out what it is the ‘Baggers are being ginned up to get mad about at any given moment. Seems to change almost constantly.
Jane has a new post up: Bob Shrum to Democrats: Stop the Catfood Commission or Lose Congress
Time watching CNN = time you will Never.Get.Back.
Just for the heck of it: “5 Ways the Tea Party Agenda Screws Tea Party Supporters” (includes a link to an expose’, “7 Ways the Tea Party Sugar Daddy Billionaire Brothers Are Ripping Us off,” about Koch et al).
I know…good luck..B
