Topic: Sharon Angle

Nevada Senate candidate Sharon Angle faced intense media criticism for calling the BP oil spill compensation fund a "slush fund." The hosts argue that Angle was technically correct, as the fund provides BP with significant tax advantages, and they question why the term caused such a visceral reaction from President Obama and the press.

The media's reaction to Sharon Angle telling Harry Reid "it's not going to do you any good to hit the girl" is analyzed. Pundits like Chris Matthews accused her of playing a "girl card," while the hosts view the remark as innocuous and suggest the outrage is a coordinated effort to marginalize her candidacy using Alinsky-style tactics.
