They need a token conservative. Having run off Beck, and Dobbs, they need someone to act as the “looney” conservative.

Heck, for network money, I’d do it too.

He’s pretty funny when he’s on opposite the Roland & Martin doofus.

Erikson remains calm and makes his points, martin huffs and puffs rants and raves, looks like he’s gonna call the guy a honky at any moment.

RedState.com editor Erick Erickson......

Methinks this is the clown who went after the people who demand to see 0bongo’s birth certificate

Miss Linsey is the amnesty queen. If McCain isn’t in the pocket of Arizona agribusinesses by now then he’s whoring himself out for free

Exactly. They’ll fire their “pet” conservative once he disses Barry Obeyme.

Kooks like Orly Taitz and Phil Berg are the real clowns.

What this all boils down to is:.....

CNN is losing money...fast.

The owners of CNN do not wish to be out of jobs as failures and without sufficient income.

Therefore, they will say anything...do anything....BE anything in order to keep their income (hence their power).

Apparently, CNN has begun to approach the "tipping point" of financial loss.

Watch. The same thing will happen to the other media outlets as they too begin to hit the tipping point between financial well being and financial ruin.

Hell froze over on Feb. 7th of this year when the Saints won the Super Bowl.

Yep. One in the same. No birthers at RedState.

Also, a former small town lawyer and deacon.

I wouldn’t watch CNN if they had exclusive coverage of the Second Coming.

If Eric Erikson is too good for the birthers then he’s not good enough for me. If 0bama runs it will get very interesting, I see at least one state telling him that he has to show his birth certificate

What makes him conservative? Just because the MSM labels him conservative does not make it so.

MSNBC is the only one which has the means, however marginal, to remain firmly behind BoyObaMao and most of that is GE “green technology” money from the feds.
