Terry Jeffrey set a personal record tonight on Hardball when he was able to excoriate liberals on every single question posed by fill-in host Mike Barnicle. Jeffrey managed to sock it to liberals on a wide range of questions covering topics as diverse as Bush's handling of the peace in Iraq, Hollywood's glamorizing of smoking and whether or not Senior Citizens should be allowed to drive.

His last liberal strawman was so convoluted that Jeffrey himself broke into what appeared to be an embarassed grin, although frequent watchers of Hardball know the Republican apologist is incapable of such emotion.

How do these clowns get regular TV appearances? The "blame the liberals" schtick is now a parody of itself and should immediately discredit the speaker.

"Touched By An Angel" was cancelled when its last viewer succombed to old age. How much longer until the old conservatives that comprise cable opinion-TV's base demographic die and free up the wires for intelligent discourse?
