Hey, Jim Moran! Air America Wants You!

Rep. Jim Moran (D-VA) was interviewed by John Byrne of RAW STORY. Moran comes off like someone you'd meet at a WTO protest. He slams Bush, but in the process, he ends up looking like an ill-informed fool. There must be a spot for him at Air America; or maybe he can blog for the Huffington Report.
Transcript highlights from RAW STORY:

Moran: I don’t think [Bush] has much experience with regular people...

Raw Story: Do you really think the president is sheltered from those he’s pitching his plan to?

Moran: The only actual news that he reads is the sports section. All the national news, all the opinions that he gets have been filtered, and it goes to his daily briefing that has already been pre-screened to give him what he wants to read. He doesn’t read any books, and he doesn’t talk with people that don’t already agree with him. He’s surrounded himself with ideological sycophants. And the biggest ass-kisser of all is Dick Cheney.

Raw Story: Why do you think the president decided to take on Social Security?

Moran: Because the Republican base wanted to take this on. I think they realized that they’re never going to find anybody who is as willing to carry out the agenda of these Republican right wing nuts and reverse the course of American progress. This is their chance. This is their chance to cut taxes down to the bone. This is their chance to repeal Social Security and to bankrupt Medicare and Medicaid. And to create a situation where future generations are going to spend all their income paying interest on debt instead of putting it into education or transportation or healthcare.

Moran: These guys just have no shame...I just don’t trust any of these people to do the right thing for people in need.

What was Moran thinking?

The man saying these things has a seat in the House of Representatives; yet he doesn't hesitate to publically call the Vice President an "ass-kisser" in an on the record interview.
What makes this particularly bizarre is that usually fringe leftists depict Cheney as the man in charge, with Bush being a puppet. That doesn't fit with his "ass-kisser" assessment.
Moran doesn't conduct himself like an elected official. He acts like Rosie O'Donnell or Janeane Garofalo going off on an embarrassingly unhinged rant.
INAPPROPRIATE!
