    @Paul Daniel Ash

    Reading the first paragraph,

    "On his live MSNBC show this morning, former GOP Rep. Joe Scarborough used the phrase "fuck you" when discussing Obama's appointment of Rahm Emanuel"

    it seemed reasonable to hope that Greenwald's post was going to be about whether or not Emanuel's selection constituted a "fuck you" to Obama's antiwar supporters (this is still an open question, in my opinion). I hoped the headline foretold an article about how Scarborough, a pro-war idiot, was being revealed as a hypocrite for criticizing the pro-war Chief of Staff pick.

    In other words, my first thought was that this would be a substantive post on Emanuel, yes.

    Instead it was a long diatribe about the f-word.

    Whatever, I'm over it. I got my hopes up, they were frustrated. Greewald got sarcastic about it and now you are too, apparently. I don't have much more to say on the topic. C'est la vie, par for a blog, but I had hoped for more here.
