The Young Turks: September 11, 2013

President Obama’s speech on the situation in Syria.  He went back and forth on America’s role as the world’s police.  Cenk actually defends Obama’s speech and the outcome while many Republicans and Conservative talkers found many ways to call every action he decides as disastrous. Bill DeBlasio has won the Democratic primary in the NYC mayoral race.  Cenk took the opportunity to gloat about his prediction before DeBlasio was the frontrunner.  Cenk also talks about how Eliot Spitzer lost the race for NYC Comptroller despite his excitement for the race when Sptizer was winning.  Anthony Weiner placed 5th in the primary for NYC mayor, with less than 5% of the vote.  As he was leaving last night, Weiner flipped off reporters.  His sexting partner, Sydney Leathers, also showed up with her new set of boobs and other plastic surgery, to get some camera time.  Cat Fight between kittens and Joe Lhota.  When a couple of kittens held up a NYC subway for hours to be rescued, Lhota was the only one to speak out against saving them. A recall election in Colorado for officials that created laws for more regulations on firearms succeeded in taking out the 2 state senators responsible.  Prison phone rates are so high and prisoners’ ability to make enough money is so low that many can’t even afford to talk to family.  Tina Brown, editor at the Daily Beast, is out.
