Summary: Cenk starts off by explaining why he thought the GOP response by Virgina Governor Bob McDonnell was brilliant. Before you freak out, Cenk explains he's not saying the content was correct, quite the opposite. He's referring to the stagecraft of doing it in front of a (diverse) audience, referring to kids several times and using misleading (but sadly effective) framing. Cenk stops the response a few times to jump in with his commentary. For example, when Bob pushes the meme that we need less government, Cenk explains his real motivation (corporatism) and who funded the response.

2. Very good analysis. (Always wondered about people who can lie like the Governor, are they

sociopaths?)

3. Is there a guy wearing a Army uniform in the back?

He shouldn't be doing that. Under military rules, that's not allowed. But leave it to a repuglican to scream about rules while breaking them.

5. K&R Great analysis. It was great to see Obama Pwn them on the deficit thing Cenk brings up

Interesting facts on the funding, too. I bet Virginia's coal industry were jumping with joy when he got elected!

"To be fair, 3% was 'other' and that might have been the American people." :rofl:
