Some behavior is so reprehensible that the individual should have some accountability.
For example …
This man said on Tuesday that he was “glad” that Hurricane Sandy came through New York and its environs last week.
That must mean he is “glad” more than 100 people died.
That must mean he is “glad” that estimated cleanup costs for the region are estimated to run in the billions of dollars.
That must mean he is “glad” that thousands are displaced and hurting in the cold weather.
The same man who said that when he thinks of Obama a ‘tingle’ goes down his leg.
This is that man.
Well, at least it shows us that his MSNBC bosses have no idea of right and wrong or discipline.
At the very least, he should be fired. And he should be fired very vocally for such an utterly atrocious statement.
And, after he is fired, I think he should be forced to wear a wooden sandwich sign that says the following and forced to wander unescorted through the hardest-hit, most disparaged streets of Staten Island, Queens and the Jersey Shore until he has seen every ruined street in every neighborhood:
FRONT
HI, I’M CHRIS MATTHEWS
I SAID I’M ‘GLAD’ SANDY CAME THROUGH HERE
BACK
WHY DON’T YOU ‘SHOW ME’
HOW HAPPY YOU ARE?
Very soon thereafter, I’m sure one of two things will happen: 1) Either the sandwich board will show up on a beach somewhere, or 2) even if he survives the “walk,” he will disappear into the landscape of forgotten people, as he should.
Do I feel strongly about this? Indeed, I do!
