      It probably sounded a lot smarter and funnier in his head. Too bad it didn't stay there.

      Gee, I just cannot, for the life of me, figure out WHY MTP's ratings are in the dumper ... The story was on Clinton's help in freeing the jailed journalists ... And Gregory focuses on a "hug". Ugh.

            this can't be photoshopped, can it ? The background is of one color.
            I have to see the original

        Ah, yes, but Harley, what you are fogetting is that the MSM consider W to be "manly" and a "cowboy". So there is no gayness involved. But Clinton and Gore are girlie liberals, get it?

      A real moment between two colleagues who have been to hell and back together and Meachem belittles it with his stupid and obvious reference. I guess the Meachem men don't hug, which may explain his hairstyle.

      What Meacham says at the end makes a little sense, despite the 'brokeback mountain' BS. Clinton is the guy to find out what's up in NK, especially since Clinton (along with Carter) is responsible for the 1994 Agreed Framework.

      Can't attack anything Clinton ever did as President so you make an ad hominem statement like this. Morons. President Clinton was and still is a true leader.

      Eyes RIGHT!

      If anyone ever had any hesitation about believing that the Corporate Controlled Media was firmly entrenched in dissing President Obama, all they need do was watch this weekend's lineup of "look, he's failing miserably" RNC shills on the bobble-head networks.

      And Mr. John "Christian Nation" Mecham is one of the slickest of the bunch.

      Meet the Mess.

      Newsweek's Meacham on post-North Korea Gore-Clinton hug: "It's like ... Brokeback Mountain"

      So -- Johnny here thinks two men who collectively have been married to the same [female] spouses for nearly 73 years and have five children are reminiscent of Brokeback Mountain?

      I can only guess what he thought of Larry Craig . . .

      How much does anyone want to bet that if there was no emotion here, people would be jumping on the old "Gore-is-like-a-robot" angle?

      Meacham doesn't exactly look like Mr. Macho himself.
