They're contractually obligated to talk off-the-cuff and fill up airtime between commercials. If Barack had chosen all white men, they'd comment on that, too. "It's like a (now-defunct) WaMu banker ad, with a black guy ordering them around!" So what? They’re contractually obligated to talk off-the-cuff and fill up airtime between commercials.

Instead of being an intelligent journalist and given intelligent questions, he has to feed us the stereotype, clownish, and non-sense news and comments about President-elect Obama and his selected cabinet members. Not one word from Tweety on the current Booze and Blow-in-chief's incompentent cabinet members for the past 7 1/2 years. Tweety Matthews sounds more and more nauseating on his TV shows.
