I think someone should go over to MSNBC right now and do some serious testing of the air and water, because Philadelphia talk-show host Michael Smerconish got on the air over there substituting for Dan Abrams and told little Ronnie Reagan Jr. that he was thinking of voting for Barack Hussein Obama because he “likes this guy.”
Via NewsBusters:
SMERCONISH: I want to think big picture, and I want to do so by showing you a piece of that which was published in today’s Washington Post by Charles Krauthammer, if we can put that up on the screen:
The truth about Obama is uncomplicated. He is just a politician . . . When it’s time to throw campaign finance reform, telecom accountability, NAFTA renegotiation or Jeremiah Wright overboard, Obama is not sentimental. He does not hesitate. He tosses lustily . . . By the time he’s finished, Obama will have made the Clintons look scrupulous.
That’s Charles Krauthammer. Ron, I voted for the first time in 1980 for your dad. I have never voted for a Democrat for president. I voted for plenty of Democrats, but never for president. I’ve not ruled it out in this cycle, because I like this guy. But the events of the last 10 days or so make him seem status quo, make him seem like just a run-of-the-mill politician.
Seriously, Smersh? You’ll give away the Supreme Court to another one or two Bader-Ginsburgs because you “like this guy?” You’ll put the lives of the troops in Iraq at risk and make a mockery of the deaths of the ones who have fallen because you “like this guy?” Killing babies born after botched partial-birth abortions because you “like this guy?” Are you kidding me, Smersh?
I know Smerconish’s big thing is that no one is looking for bin Laden hard enough. Sure, Barky will look for bin Laden. He’ll look for him to make sure he gets all lawyered up, three hots and a cot, and a nice warm witness stand from which to spew his filth.
Shock - Jock. Looking for attention and a little approval at MSNBC. Guess WPHT doesn’t have to worry about the Fairness Doctrine coming back after all. They’ve got their own big bald lib right smack in the middle of morning drive.
Like That? You'll Probably Like These.

The Smerconish promo ad, which runs incessantly on WPHT, has the Doylestown native telling Obama that “my vote is in play based on (whether the US is looking for Osama bin Ladin)” …..
Smerconish, of course, was making reference to Obama’s phony attempt to claim that HE would devote the entire US military to getting bin Ladin…. (thereby implying that McCain and GWB don’t want to catch him).
Wow, not only is Smerconish willing to start nuclear WWIII by driving Pakistan to the terrorist side….. he also gets the “mother-of-all- pander awards” for expressing a belief that Obama would actually keep his word…. …..
…..Considering that Obama has flipped on every single major issue of the day, FISA, campaign finance, Iraq, third-term trimester abortion……
Smerconish has shown himself to be waaaay out of touch with reality.
But then, his morning radio show is doing great in the ratings as millions of liberal Philadelphia Democrats tune in each day to hear him pander to their False Messiah, the big Obama.
