>>> new york city in the new york city area has two football teams. one of them is pretty good. the other team is not good. they are called the jets. they wear green and even the people who like them now show up at their games wearing homemade jerseys that say this, buttfumble. this refers to the jets' quarterback in his day job when he's not modeling he's supposed to be playing football and last weekend he was holding the football and inexplicably ran into the butts of one of his own teammates and fell down and dropped the ball and the other team picked up the ball and got a touchdown. hence, the butt fumble. the jets are just not a good football team this year. you can address your hate mail to me at msnbc. the auto reply you will get will will you the word butt fumble. the owner of the butt fumbles is a man named woody johnson . he was a chairman of mitt romney 's campaign this year. he hosted a luncheon for big time republican bund letters. the audience was reince priebus who attended the meeting. it was his rnc who hired the firm ran by the improprieties to run the voter registration efforts in five sbing states. when that firm, ran by that guy with the shady past was inevitably accused of doing shady things this year with voter registration , the republican party in all of those states had to fire the firm which ended voter registration in the final crucial week before the election. there was no plan b. thanks, reince. the republicans just had to give up registering voters in those states. maybe that came up in today's meeting. also potentially on the meeting today, the rnc field program, part of the ground effort that was just swamped this year. the republicans get out to vote technology crashed early on election day . one campaign telling the daily beast , everything about the system that was supposed to work actually failed. so these dozens of big-time republican donors meeting today to talk about what went wrong and reince priebus is there to listen, to listen to them vent about what went wrong but his answer to all of their complaints is, let's do it all again because reince priebus, after all he did, wants to be re-elected as rnc chairman. he was trying to shore up that re-election effort by meeting with these dozen of republican donors today, including the owner of the butt fumblers here in new york city . meanwhile, "the washington post " reporting today on the other guy who was responsible for the republican's very bad election year, reporting that mitt romney is mostly living in la jolla now in southern california and suffering from, quote, sustained boredom. speaking of bored, mr. romney has been put back on the board of the marriott corporation . he's subletting a private equity office from one of his sons apparently. but while republicans try to figure out what went wrong with their hoax of getting in the white house , what about the guy that came in more or less second to mitt romney this year? he's taking a job as a columnist for world net daily . you might remember world net daily as the birther website. that has not worked out all that well for them lately so they have branched out. it's your one-stop shop for a whole host of new conspiracy they're res about president obama . they have been pushing the theory that not only is president obama secretly foreign but he's secretly gay and he used to be secretly he married in college, probably secretly gay married and maybe secretly murdered his secretly gay boyfriend . world net daily also has a superstore for all of your conspicon con spir ra see-related shopping needs. you can buy a defensive cane fighting with your cane. you can also buy a radiation detecting sticker to keep with you for any emergency radiation. or maybe you're in the market for a flash flight that doubles for field stripping a glock hand gun. this week, the world net daily columnist is writing about how a new secessionist party could help white americans start a new country. he rails about the u.s. buy fax nal hate and contempt for white americans who still hold to traditional values believe in their constitutional dlib rit teas. they mock the celebrate the infestation of even the smallest american heartland towns by african and asian and aztec tech cultures as they worship at the nonexistent equality. so mitt romney has landed bored at his la jolla mansion. the guy who was essentially came in second to mitt romney this year, the guy who was a runner up in the republican party efforts to pak their nominee, the guy who could have been mitt romney if for some reason it wasn't mitt romney , he landed at world net daily . he's going to be doing a regular column for world net daily sharing space with the white secession guy. we have a two- party system in this country. and that is what half of our two- party system is. that is half of what is supposed to be plausible in american politics . rick santorum at world net daily . also, cane fighting. that does it for tonight. we'll see you tomorrow night. now it's time for lawrence o'donnell with the last word.
