If Maggie Rodriguez [file photo] had been aboard the Titanic and an officer had started screaming at the captain that the ship was headed for an iceberg and the Captain had to dramatically change course, Maggie would presumably have admonished him: “what good does it to to point that out? Why don’t you see if you can compromise, maybe get the captain to slow it down a knot or two?”

That’s the same kind of advice the Early Show co-anchor gave Sen.

Because you don't suffer any anxiety before you get wiped out.

There’s no point hanging onto the past. America had a great run. Remember it fondly for what it was.

The parasites outnumber the hosts now, and there’s no going back. Throw some cold water in your face and figure out how to grab every government dime you possibly can before the parasites gobble it all up. Every man for himself.
