If there was ever a textbook example of kissing up to a host in a television interview, Rep. Jim Moran, D-Va., gave a demonstration on MSNBC's "The Ed Show."

Yet they complain about Rush being a mouthpiece for the GOP. It’s OK for the Dems to use a TV talk show for their purposes though. If the double standards weren’t so infuriating you could almost laugh.

Moran has gone from being a crooked jerk, to being certifiable.
