"I wish the American media would take a great look at the views of the people in Congress and find out, are they pro-America or anti-America?"

Then Buchanan makes out Palin to be a legitimate presidential candidate as well. Matthews praises both of them for "grabbing the stage" in Republican politics and Pat thinks that if Palin wins Iowa she's going to win the Republican nomination. Ron Reagan again being the only voice of reason here reminds Matthews that even though Palin gets her base whipped up (and apparently Matthews and Buchanan as well) she's going to be lucky if she gets 20% support among the general electorate, which is a huge problem for the Republican Party.

Matthews ignores him and laughs it off with a comment about how much McCain needed Sarah Palin to campaign for him. If Matthews and Buchanan think Palin and Bachmann are the saviors of the Republican Party, I say bring it on. Reagan is right and they do not represent the middle of the American electorate.

I'm still not quite sure what I found the most offensive about this segment; the fact that both of these men were fawning over these two wingnuts purely for their looks or that they were willing to gloss over how extremely dangerous and hateful the rhetoric coming out of their mouths has been because of it when they know better.

The DNC apparently shares the same view of these two as I do -- DNC VIDEO- Palin, Bachmann: The Loon Rangers!
