doesn't shill for the repubs as much as Steele does.

Steele is likeable, but he's no Dem. He should be one.

we can learn from what he's learned. I care what he thinks, as I care what Steve Schmidt thinks.

Isn't it strange that she is on The Cycle but does not have guest appearances on any of the other shows like Krystal or any of the other members? Thank goodness.

She did me.

She gave very negative reviews on Clint Eastwood's appearance at the RNC. She never wanted there in the first place. She said on the show that she was called traiter and was slammed pretty hard by those on the right for her criticisms. It was the only time I thought she was right on and I wasn't wanting to smear tomato sauce on her face. Of course, this brief moment of intelligence only lasted a moment and the idiocy returned.

He clearly knows that he's got nothing, now, and it shows.

Now if snotfest Rinse Penis had been there, I'd turn it off.

He is not really effective for shilling for Repubs so he ends up agreeing with Tweety or another MSNBC pundit that is more liberal then him. He might not be the worst Repub out there. If MSNBC is going to insist on putting on token Repubs, he is about the least offensive you can find.

MSNBC only cares about themselves, they don't care what's going on in the real world or what's happening to real people or what real news is.
