Cenk hosting. David Laurie Van Der Beek is running against the GOP governor of Nevada from the right of the Republican. Since he can’t land a debate with the gov, he staged one against a cardboard cutout of him instead. Video of his event where a rooster interrupted him constantly as he tried to make his ridiculous points. Democratic Sen Richard Blumenthal is worried about commuter train safety, so he held a presser in front of the one of the Metro stops where a speeding train almost took him out. A Russian politician outraged by female reporters, one being pregnant, and told his male staff members to kiss and sexually harass the women. A blogger in Arkansas writes and exposes government and police corruption. He also owns and runs a hotdog stand. After the blogger exposed a crooked cop and got him fired, the disgraced cop showed up at his house to set his hotdog stand on fire. After setting the fire and the owner putting it out, the cop showed back up where he was confronted and tackled by the hot dog stand owner. The fall from the tackle killed the ex-cop. David Brooks claimed that in the Middle East, Obama has a manhood problem that burdens him. Cenk points out that in reality, Brooks has this opinion, but isn’t brave enough to say it himself, so he puts the opinion on others. Despite Russian denial, there is a NY Times article about how the Russian army is almost certainly in Eastern Ukraine, with pictures and identities to prove it. Politico article shows that the Tea Party has paid Conservative talkers like Limbaugh, Levin, Hannity, Beck, & Ingraham to adopt their bogus message to spread to their audience. This selling out is why Republicans constantly think Liberals’ message is being bought by billionaires. MSNBC is looking for answers on how to fix their ratings problem on Meet the Press since David Gregory came on. They hired a psychological consultant to talk to his family and friends to remedy the problem. Cenk sees this as Gregory soon to be out at Meet the Press since the damaging leaks are coming from MSNBC. Tom Brokaw gave a lukewarm response to back up Gregory.

Now that Chelsea Clinton is expecting her 1st child, Conservatives are speculating that she’s doing it to make Hillary more appealing as a brand new grandmother when she runs for president in 2016. Video of Fox News giving legs to this conspiracy. Others questioned the Clintons’ pro-choice stance by questioning if they believe its a baby now that its theirs. CNN report on whether or not the KKK can rebrand itself since one of the leaders admitted that the races should be separated, but he doesn’t think violence is necessary.
