Barro is one of Obama’s favorite columnists and regularly attends meetings with him when he reaches out to the lefty media (which is no surprise considering Barro is one of the biggest Obama sycophants in the blogosphere).

“Duck Dynasty” star Phil Robertson truly brings out the best in people. He’s much like megachurch Pastor Joel Osteen or that motivational lunatic with the gigantic teeth Tony Robbins in that way, only in the form of a long bearded hick who hates gay people.

This shit is personal.
“I apologize to all the Christians I oppressed over the years by having sex with dudes. That was very rude of me,” Barro snapped sarcastically on Twitter over the weekend.

By the way, this is exciting… Barro will sub for Abby Huntsman on MSNBC’s “The Cycle” Monday and Friday of this week. Maybe Touré can coax him into talking about his remarks on having sex with dudes or what ought to become of Robertson.
