Watch Out, MSM!
Bless his heart. Josh Marshall simply yearns to be a dimwit talking-head pundit on cable news so that he can stop actually working.
9:09 PM ... Obama's making a good point on the capital gains tax. But he's making it in a very bedraggled, painful, drawn out way. This is not good at all. All the right points are there but just not put well ... Charlie Gibson's 'history' of the capital gains tax? Please. There's a good answer to that. But he didn't seem to have it.Oh, please, Josh, give us the answer . . . You must be hiding it from us. Here's an idea: Put it on TPMTv so we may all absorb its beauty both aurally and kinesthetically.
9:16 PM ... Did someone tell Charlie Gibson that he knows something about economics? There are a heck of a lot of people who make over $97,000 a year? Really? I think like 12% of the population makes more than $100,000 a year. And his capital gains point is a canard.Did someone tell Josh Marshall that he is gifted at estimation? Twelve percent of 300 million is 36 million. Doesn't that sound like a "heck of a lot of people" to you?

... I was disappointed that Charlie Gibson seems to spout off right-wing bromides as established facts. I was even more disappointed that Obama didn't seem able to knock them down.
