Mr. Ed is a horse, of course. Gingrich is not.

Last night I watched MSNBC, specifically the Ed Show. It was appalling to believe that advertisers pay to support such a biased individual. I understand it was not a news show, and not subject to even the slimmest scrap of editorial integrity, but many people who watch it likely believe it is unbiased reporting. 

During Mr. Ed's TV tirade, he proceeded to label Gingrich everything, but a crook. At one point, he said Gingrich was in favor of  child slave labor. He called Gingrich a racist for his comments about putting people on entitlement programs to work. Mr. Ed gave a whole new meaning to the term "out of context." The only accurate thing about the Ed show was the spelling of Gingrich's name.


As I recall, Mr. Ed was originally a 1964 TV show that featured a talking horse. The theme song went something like, "A horse is a horse of course, of course, of course. And no one can talk to a horse of course, unless of course, you are another horse." Even with such a limited audience of horses, the Ed Show acted like the end of the original Mr. Ed.

The Ed Show's  license to recklessly, rave, rant and ride should be revoked by his sponsors. If not, then the show should be called a political SuperPac because it spends millions of misguided advertising dollars supporting Obama.

Romney looks good, but Gingrich can win a debate with Obama. The question is can Obama and Gingrich ever agree on a moderator?
