I don't usually have the luxury of watching morning Joe on a workday, and I know many of you don't either, so I'd like to share how Andrew Card just got ridiculed for his mealy-mouthed defense of Bush's/McCain's "Time Horizon." His shilling was actually going quite well  until the words "Time Horizon" escaped Andy's mouth. The result was a loud guffaw courtesy of Joe Scarborough followed by the following, unusually non-anti-Obama conversation (paraphrased, but not loosely):

[Card attempts and fails to clarify] Mika: You sound a lot like Barack Obama

Card: The president will take direction from military leaders. Yes, there's a horizon when the troops come home, but it won't be a deadline bad guys can plan around.

[Editor's note: Huh?]

Joe: Are you suggesting Obama does have a time line?

Card: Sixteen months is pretty specific. The president has consistently said it depends on what happens on ground.

[Editor's note: Gee, he sounds a lot like Obama]

Joe: Obama is saying the same thing. It will be sixteen months depending on what the Generals on the ground tell him.

Card: That's not what he's always said, [Editor's note: Yes it is, liar], and there are not two presidents.

[Editor's note: Um, you're a fracking idiot. It's no wonder you stuck around so long]

Joe: He never said there were two presidents; quite the contrary. And Bush is moving towards Obama's position.

[Editor's note: Wow, Joe, so unlike you to harp on the truth]

Card: Yes, Bush would like conditions on ground to allow for an orderly withdrawal, and we'd love for blah blah blah blah yada yada blah

Joe, Mika: [amidst laughter] We love Andrew Card, but time horizon...time line? Uh-uh.

Mika: Who came up with that phrase? "Let's not call it a time line...we'll call it a time horizon.."

Ford: Score one for Barack Obama.

[Commercial. Upon return from commercial, the hosts continue to parody the notion of a "time horizon."]

Mika: I'm not giving up my timeline--it's more of a time horizon--but I'm going to do the news in 30 minutes.

Scarborough: Yes, we don't want to give up too much information.

Late-Breaking News from Bagdad: Obama has met with his newest supporter, Prime Minister Malaki, in Bagdad.

Also uttered on Morning Joe this morning: Confessions from Kalid Sheik Mohammad and others were FALSE and led our government down rabbit holes. To quote Dan Abrams: "Whoa! What a revalation!"
