The Leg operates under a very simple values system.
Every potential action is weighed against one question: Is this good for Barack Obama's election prospects?
Thus, you can understand The Leg's consternation at the escalating Machiavellian maneuvering between Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews' Head following the sudden opening of the lead position on "Meet the Press"--a real news show that actually airs on a real network with viewers other than seething, rage-drunk, conspiracy-nut commenters from the Daily Kos and the Huffington Post.
Tim Russert's sad, sudden passing severed Olbermann's and Matthews' main connection to journalistic credibility (Tom Brokaw's occasional fly-bys are too infrequent to undo much of the credibility-draining damage done every time one of the two opens his mouth.)
"Yes, the prize is tempting," The Leg muses. "But these guys need to keep their eyes on the ball! It's not about us. It's about Him!" The Leg points heavenward. . . toward the Obama "HOPE" poster on the wall.
The Leg is really worked up now. "THIS CRAP ISN'T HELPING MICHELLE OBAMA'S KIDS!"
The Leg thinks Chris should stay focused on running for the Senate in Pennsylvania in two years. As Chris was clearly doing when he chose to desecrate a Tim Russert tribute with a selfish rant about Bush and the Iraq war.
"The "Meet the Press" gig should go to someone who actually cares about looking somewhat objective. And rational. In other words, Keith and Chris should stay in the fever swamp of naked partisanship where they belong," says The Leg.
