I don't know if I would say liberalism has "jumped the shark", but in the past 2-3 weeks, it's reared it's head from mainstream politics. I would say the "Right" has been way out of mainstream and has horrible leaders and voices currently. Thus the democrats or "left" voices made more sense. I think the "left" has been on such a run, that they did the same as the "right" in defending anything that comes from their side. And lately, it's been turning me off. With Olberman out this week, Shuster was in & he was unwatchable. Everything was about trying to make fun of the "GOP", when they we're quiter this week (thank god) and the "left" were making buffoons of themselves or showing their true colors.
