NOW President Terry O'Neill argued that half of President Obama's cabinet officials should be female because women are better at making policies that help everyone. Host Chris Jansing said that the assertion that women are inherently better at governing than men was "hard to disagree with"
MSNBC analyst Toure went on a rather bizarre screed against firearms. He blamed firearms for causing and increasing anger and stated that they only have one purpose: killing. What's particularly egregious about this was Toure's statement that "it takes no courage at all to pull a trigger." Um, don't the police and military use guns?

MSNBC Contributor Michael Eric Dyson mocked Republican opposition to President Obama's massive tax increases as "bonerism" an amazingly hilarious and mature play on Speaker John Boehner's last name. Dyson's remark drew hysterical laughter from Julianne Epstein and Martin Bashir.
MSNBC host Martin Bashir accused Charles Krauthammer of
supporting the Confederacy for comparing President Obama’s fiscal cliff “compromise”
to the surrender offered to Robert E. Lee. Take note, logical comparisons are racist.
The Supreme Court just released today’s orders list, and it
does not include any cases on challenges to the Defense of Marriage Act or California’s Proposition
8. NBC News Legal Correspondant Pete Williams stated that this doesn’t mean that they will not
hear any of the cases, and that it is possible the court could decide either
to take up or punt on the cases on Monday. However, there are…
