"Steve Benen (born May 15, 1973) is an American political writer and blogger, an MSNBC contributor, and a producer for The Rachel Maddow Show."

That carries about as much credibility, as writing for the 'Simpsons', or 'Family Guy'.

If you want to break out of your brain-lock, get out of MSNBC...they are completely bogus...even been busted three times this past year for doctoring clips, to alter the reporting!!!....Infotainment!
