[Magdalen] Our "sh*thole" president.

[M J _Mike_ Logsdon]

And how, I guess, appropriate, that MSNBC should play a prominent role in how "things have changed".  Anyone remember Martin Bashir?...

[begin Wikipedia quote]
On 15 November 2013, Bashir criticized Sarah Palin for comments that she made comparing the Federal debt to slavery.  Bashir attempted to counter Palin's comparison by referencing the punishment of slaves described by slave overseer Thomas Thistlewood, specifically a punishment called 'Derby's dose' which involved forcing slaves to defecate or urinate into the mouth of another slave as punishment.  Bashir then concluded by saying "if anyone truly qualified for a dose of discipline from Thomas Thistlewood, she would be the outstanding candidate."

Granted, he added nausea to insult, but it's of note that even his own sense of reserve that prevented him from using "curse words" didn't prevent him from losing his job.

I really like Martin.  He's apparently now the religion editor for the BBC.
