Today marks the 800th anniversary of the signing of the Magna Carta. It was on June 15, 1215 that the English King John met his barons on Runnymede field to reluctantly affix his seal to the great charter that granted more powers to the latter. By strange coincidence, yesterday also marked the notable event when Chuck Todd on Meet The Press allowed a couple of panelists to question a guest, Bill Daley.
This was actually nothing new because in its original format, which has been forgotten in recent years, Meet The Press meant exactly that...meet the press, not just meet the interview hogging host. Your humble correspondent, often feeling like Captain Ahab in his desperate search for the great white whale, has been harping on this point for nearly a year when he reminded any who would listen about the promise of a return to the original format by NBC News president Deborah Turness:

The kid used to actually have a sense of humor, a personality and no obvious arrogance. Yes, he was always a pure Lefty and a political Kool Aid dispenser, but for years he was not a puffed up putz with an ink pen. And he smiled. Even showed a little shyness.
Now, he is frozen faced, beady eyed, and seen waving that pen around on camera trying to appear in control of everything, using it as a baton to signal who gets to talk, when they must stop, who will be next, when a commercial is coming, when HE wants to talk, or wiggles it over his notes as he asks a question.
It’s really kind of hilarious but pitiful. He is having NO FUN and IS no fun. The great tradition of Tim Russert’s Meet the Press is so made dead by untalented neophytes who were over promoted.
Chucky looks like a depressed orchestra leader now.
PRICELESS! ROTFL!!!
That is a PERFECT capture of our Chod Tuck! I mean PERFECT!
Thanks for the laughs!
