for that we go to michael moynihan. >> i think i have too many buttons. don't you have the bernard look? >> we know who that is. >> what is wrong with you people? let me start correcting you idiots thin. then. robert said a lot of smart stuff. we will start with him. it was a humiliating experience for you as a young chap at catholic school to be bombarded. greg made a good point. it builds character. you are on television and you work for the new york post. or did you want to work for "the times." >> let's see, something about not incriminating myself at this time, blah, plaw, blah. yes, it worked out perfectly. >> you said it made you a republican. i am tired of your conservative victimology. >> it is okay. not everybody can do that. >> what about me? >> height requirement. >> sherrod? can i ask you a question? was it compulsory to play dodge ball? >> was it compulsory? >> you are from bedside, right? >> what did you google me? >> i don't know what you are talking about. that was not me that was out in front of your apartment. >> we love playing dodge b

. >> joining me now is michael moynihan, senior editor at moynihan, senior editor at "newsweek dailyeast" and cnn's senior legal analyst, jeffrey toobin. jeff, the judge said the ban is, quote, laden with exceptions based on economic and political concerns. there are a number of exceptions, like convenience stores that would be able to sell these supersized drinks, but not restaurants. beverages with high milk content would be exempt. this a controversial issue for the judge, or is it just because there's too many loopholes? >> it's sort of hard to tell. he just doesn't like the law and rules it arbitrary. i think it's a terrible decision, poorly reasoned. and the idea that just because you can't ban everything, and you can't do everything to limit obesity, that you can't do anything, i think, is just a mistaken idea. i think this was a reasonable step by mayor blockberg, and i think an appeals court will overturn it. >> jeff, in order to get it to be overturned, would bloomberg have to try to change the law to make it kind of across the board? and not have there been exemptions or l

news editor michael moynihan, comb your hair. >> a-block, the lead.hat's the first story. >> oh ya. this will be good. >> would the world be gray if we didn't have to pay? sweden is one of the tax happiest countries on the planet. the average worker is coughing up 70% of his salary. i believe they paid an ikea coupon. but life would be characterized by blite according to this psa. >> that's without taxes. you are like a skinny good looking male model. in america, a country i happened to love, taxpayers don't bleed as much as swedes. according to a congressional report they were on pace to hit a record $2.7 trillion a year. that is $5.4 trillion half dollars. and we can't afford to keep the white house open to visitors. blame the sequester, of course. and a recorded message on the visitor's hotline couldn't be more morose. here is the recording you will hear if you call. >> thank you for calling the 24-hour hotline. due to staffing reductions resulting from the see questions station, we regret to tell you that white house tours will be canceled effecti

. >> megan, i want to come to you, but i want to read something that was written by michael moynihan in the "daily beast." what he said, as anyone who has attended a recent cpac has witnessed, the grassroots activists of the right are a rather different species from the average republican voter. seem increasingly capable of calm lg arguing that america is being forced off the road to prosperity and onto the road of serfdom, concerns about over-leaning government, which one could manage about debt, drones and taxts are punctuated with remarks of marx or mao. is it a problem that the people that go to cpac, thatib ilk of e party is too loud in their crazy messaging. >> i coined jane's law, when i was blogging und a pseudonym. people that are devoted to to the party that has the white house are smug and arrogant. and people devoted to the party that's out of the white house are insane. this is an irregularity you can observe in politics, when bush was in office, it wasn't enough thaw didn't like the iraq war or that -- he actually had to be hitler, right? he actually had to be just the
