(trigger warning for homophobic, sexist language)

You know, you didn’t post the fact, communicate to voters that he’s gay, and I think I did a pretty good job of communicating to voters. … You, sir, are cunt, bitch, coward, Mr. Koller. Dan Koller is a cunt, bitch, coward. And I don’t think you have one testicle, sir. You’re a sorry-ass, you’re a disgrace to our city, you’re a propagandist to the Sodomites.

And when I see you, I’m not sure what I’m going to do. But minimally your eardrums will hurt, you motherfucker. YOU MOTHERFUCKER CUNT COWARD DAN KOLLER.

A voicemail left by Dallas City Council candidate Richard Sheridan after he lost the election. Bitter much? John Iadorola says: “We assume that people in this country have progressed. Not always the case.”

City Council loser’s hilarious, foul message to reporter

mafattiee asked: Hi, TYT. I like the news that you cover, but I don't like your name. As an Armenian, I find it offensive and dismissive of the genocide perpetrated by the Young Turks. Did this enter your thought process when you were picking this name? (Not meant as a patronizing question. I would really like to know.) Thank you for the work you do.

Great question. Cenk answered this last week in his Reddit AMA. Someone asked about it, and another person posted this:

Young Turk noun 1. (Government, Politics & Diplomacy) a progressive, revolutionary, or rebellious member of an organization, political party, etc., esp one agitating for radical reform

http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Young+Turk

Cenk responded: “This is exactly it. When we considered naming the show we looked up the dictionary definition of The Young Turks and it said progressives looking to overthrow the established system. That’s exactly us, when it comes to politics or the media. We’re the new media. And we don’t trust our politicians like the establishment does. We want to change the system.

“It had nothing to do with the historical references to the name. I’m the only Turk who works or worked on the show. We used the term as it is commonly used in American pop culture, whether it’s Rod Stewart or the talent agents that challenged the old guard back in the 1980’s.”

This is like a Mr. Magoo outfit that he put on. A wig? A compass? It’s crazy! The only thing he’s missing is the giant magnifying glass.

Mark Thompson: Possibly the worst spy ever captured by Russia

Guest hosts Mark Thompson and Ben Mankiewicz investigate the curious case of Ryan Fogel, who told Russian officials he was a spy from the CIA trying to recruit a double agent. Fogel was carrying two wigs, a paper map of Moscow, a compass, and a Bic lighter when he was arrested. Mark and Ben say it seems like an 11-year-old boy packed his spy kit.
