Hour 1

Segment 1

Cenk hosting today.  Sen Roger Wicker’s office was sent a package with ricin, but it was intercepted before it got to him.  The knee jerk speculation from some Conservatives that the perpetrator was a Muslim.  Rush Limbaugh decided that the media will protect the culprit if he’s a Muslim, but will bash all Conservatives if he ends up being a Right Wing terrorist.  Rep Steve King pointed out that if the people responsible are foreigners, we need to rethink our immigration proposals…before finding out who is responsible.  Video of Rep Mike McCaul calling for there to be no politicizing of the bombing so soon on Laura Ingraham’s show.  She immediately politicized it regarding illegal immigration.  Video mashup of Jake Tapper and Peter King speculating exact opposite types of culprits.

 

Segment 2

Scary Chart Time.  The number of terror attacks in America have been going down in the past few decades.  GW Bush is ready to unveil his Bush Library.  When asked about the latest problems of today, he avoids ever talking about them because he doesn’t have to think about anything anymore.  He’s simply very excited about telling stories of being the president, not about doing the job.

 

Segment 3

Manchin and Toomey’s background check provision/compromise continues to get weaker, but its still not definite that it’ll pass.  A poll showed that 51% say Obama is in touch with Americans concern, but the same percentage say the Dem Party is out of touch.  70% say Republicans are out of touch.  Mark Sanford is forbidden to go to his ex-wife’s house, but was busted while creeping out.  Twitter Storm with Jenny Huang.
