Dishonest Morning Joe does it again.

[No Elephants]

After discussing Mitt's 47% tape, Joe says, "Polls show Obama's benefiting."

Not only are the poll numbers now being publicized precede the 47% tape, they also preceded Mitt's "foreign relations" stupidity about the statement released by the Egyptian embassy while that embassy was at risk, but before it was breached.

And plagiarist Mike Barnicle chimes in, "This was the biggest in kind donation to Warren's campaign. Brown was ahead for the longest time."

Either this bunch is the worst informed ever or among the most dishonest group that is not already employed by Fox.

You decide.

By the way, the Warren "bump" came after her speech at the Democratic convention.

Some people, like Warren, make a speech that convinces people to vote for them.

Some people, like Romney and macaca man (who is running again), make a speech that convinces people to vote for their opponent.

And some political news shows have no integrity whatever.

1. Now, Scarborough is saying "the 47% who get public assistance"

Watch: It's gone from 47% who don't pay federal income taxes, which is what Romney correctly said, to the lie of 47% who pay no taxes {at all, not federal income taxes, not federal payroll taxes, not state income taxes, not state excise taxes, not state payroll taxes, not state sales taxes and not local real estate taxes } to the 47% who are on public assistance.

He knows better. I know he does.

I wouldn't believe Morning Schmoe if his hair AND his pants were on fire.

OPlagiarist Mike Barnicle is not far behind him.

Neither is Willie "I pretend to be objective" Geist.

Neither is Chuck Tool.

2. They have done some damage control.

Judging from the callers on C-Span's Washington Journal, the damage control is working. But I know what Mittens was saying. He is an asshole down to his bone marrow.

3. Hmm., Most of the callers to C-Span's Washington Journal are

members of the Republican damage control squad, whether paid or volunteer.

Or so it has always seemed to me.

Sometimes, they call in on the Republican line and sometimes on the Indie line. But, you know as soon as they say, "I'm an independent, but..." who they really are.

I can't remember if this was 2004 or 2008, but one day, I visited the DNC website and the RNC website, one after the other, just out of curiosity. The first page of the DNC website was a big picture of the candidate, grinning, and most of the website was devoted to talking about the candidate.

The RNC website, though, was full of places you should call and write and what you should say when you do call or write, with addresses, email address, phone numbers, etc.

It was quite a stark difference.

The Republican GOTV machine is reportedly superior to that of the Democrats this time around, too. Someone--maybe Chuck Tool--said it could make up for a few points difference between Obama and Romney in the polls.

Of course, political stations have little choice but to pretend Obama will somehow be neck and neck for another month and a half, no matter what the polls are saying. It's the only way they can keep their ratings up and ratings are their bread and butter. (Or are they?)
