Snake Doctor

I stopped watching CNN a few years ago in favor of MSNBC. I honestly couldn't remember why until last night.

I tune in to watch the last half of the republican debate and the post debate analysis...and during the analysis they're talking about Mike Huckabee.
One of the "analysts" says that Huckabee has some lunatic ideas, like getting rid of the IRS, the "analyst" says "I know everyone hates the IRS, but c'mon, the government has to get it's money from somewhere"

Then they switched to another "analyst", this one a female, who agreed with the first analyst about Huckabee's position and then went on to something else.

Now what I want to know is, how do you get a job as a "political analyst" at a major news network when you don't know anything about politics?
How could a paid professional political analyst not know that the republican leading in the polls in Iowa is for a national sales tax?
This "analyst" seems to think that Huckabee wants to get rid of taxes altogether I guess?

Not only that, but there were 6 people on the panel, most of them republicans, and not a single one of them had anything to say about that remark.

What a fucking joke, thank god for MSNBC.
