Liberalism: Why think when you can “feel”?

MSNBC host suffers first documented case of McCain Derangement Syndrome

Moonbats a plenty on MSNBC!  From Time’s blog:

An interesting exchange on Morning Joe today between John Ridley and Pat Buchanan, who were filling in as guest hosts:

Ridley: So McCain just decided he wanted to be in Colombia — very fortuitous on this day that this amazing, amazing rescue happened. Even his own handlers don’t exactly know why he wants to go.Buchanan: Suppose those guys had gone in there and the rebels had suspected something and they shot them up and killed a number of hostages and it was a bloody mess and McCain would have been blamed for it. He couldn’t have known it was going to succeed.

Ridley: Unless they knew that it was not going to be a failure. That’s all I’m saying.

Buchanan: You’re implying that they bought off the rebels?

Ridley: All I’m saying is that we see what happens in Iraq, that we’re not going to negotiate with terrorists, that we’re not going to negotiate with these kidnappers, and then for some reason they’re released. I want to make very clear, these people come home, these individuals been kidnapped, I couldn’t be happier. However they get home. But we know that back channel negotiations and things happen. We know that John McCain was down there fortuitously. We know that someone on his staff who was a lobbyist for Colombia. It just seems all very convenient right before the Fourth of July.

In the words of Dr. Charles Krauthammer, Bush Derangement Syndrome is described as “the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in reaction to the policies, the presidency — nay — the very existence of George W. Bush.”

Although the case before us doesn’t involve Bush, BDS seems to have mutated into a John McCain variant. The paranoia-inducing symptoms, however, appear not to have diminished. Recommended treatments include a cessation of blog reading and a cold shower.

No wonder these bozos like subsidized prescription drugs.  That Paxil and Thorazine ain’t gonna pay for themselves, you know?

  2. I love this passage.

    Buchanan: “He couldn’t have known it was going to succeed.”

    Ridley: “Unless they knew that it was not going to be a failure.”

    Dugh! If it’s not a failure; it’s a success. Buchannan was right; McCain couldn’t have known either way! I love how the Lefties twist words around to the negative to spin conspiracy and serve their own purposes!

  3. Jon I think the media is trying to look ahead to the point where there will no longer be George Bush to kick around anymore. So no more BDS but instead an RDS. Republican Derangement Syndrome! It wouldn’t have mattered which republican was down there at that time, this Ridley idiot would have blamed him!

  4. “McCain lied, hostages died!”

    Might as well just go with it – it’s just as accurate as the “Bush lied” meme.
