I'm to the point where I can't watch Chuck Todd without getting pissed off. Smug people tend to have that effect on me and lots of others, but Todd is particularly hard to take because he is clearly so convinced of his own superiority, and hardly even bothers anymore with the pretext of being honest.
He's just a jerk, and his primary business is to propagandize on behalf of other jerks. The fact that NBC puts this jackhole on television, and that other people see him as some sort of paragon of good journalism, is one of the reasons I often question whether the United States can outlive me. Most days I doubt it.
