Hardball Host Warms To Capital Punishment For Bush
Why am I thinking Matthews did a pre-interview with this nut? Screwball strikes, again.
Not only did Matthews not challenge Malachy's heinous remark he actually smiled after his rant. In fact Matthews seemed charmed by McCourt as he ended the segment: "Well, I had to tell you, I hereby make my stand, I like you already. Malachy McCourt, Green Party candidate."


Malachi is a two-bit crank who's desperate to make a splash of some kind that will shed the "brother of "Angela's Ashes" author Frank McCourt" factoid that is permanently attached to his name.

Yay. Ten-thousand more votes for Eliot.
Except I wonder if that many people were watching MSNBC.

Angela's Ashes is the worst book I've ever read-illiterate tripe.

I have to agree with you, Terry. It is the second book I have actually thrown in my life. Utter bullshit.

I dunno; I thought "The Tenth Insight" was rock-bottom.

Had to Google that one, Rwil. Nice walk down Amnesia Lane to reread the precis of The Celestine Prophecy. I remember everyone going crazy over that. I don't think I'll go for the 'tenth'.....

that was the book i was searching my 'purge' files to remember. i never got to the tenth insight; the first nine were quite enough 7th-grade-writing-skills for me to endure.
trite plot, cliched theme, predictable every paragraph.
on the plus side, he punctuated well.
