A shitty one at that.

Dodging flaming debris on 9/11 does NOT qualify one as a foreign policy expert. If that were the case my GED-educated brother would be giving these interviews on CNN.

He probably wouldn't be shown his ass by Soledad O'Brien either. Just sayin'...

as a know it all on Crisis Management.
The blurb announcing his schedule was full of "9-11" references.
But he did not tour alone, there were several other people also speaking, and he had 4th place.
That's what I remember from the flyer...and that it was a ticket only event.

Making a profit ( speaker fees) from 9-11. WTG, scumhead.

just compare her to those many other weak kneed scaredy-cats, and I mean the hefties at MSNBC.

they would Never risk their cushy cush like she did.

I'm just wondering why Soledad Can do this and still keep her job! She has been out in front like this for a while now.

And I too used to really dislike her - more from guilt by association with her mostly useless colleagues at CNN -. so I apologize profusely to her now for she is what the others hope and pretend to be, but are far far away.

Tiabbi is excellent. I subscribe to Rolling Stone largely because of his writing. Yeah, I'm "old," I still like holding a physical magazine when I read a long article. LOL! I like Palast, but his e-mails annoy the hell out of me. I still received them, but I've learned to have them filtered into a separate "politics" folder in my mail box.

and not a pundit is the same problem Rachel has on her show... Republicans will refuse to go on because they're afraid of tough questions. They're afraid of someone who wields facts instead of spin points, they're afraid of people who they can't control the message with.

Rudy is so full of himself. I would like for her to have asked how long did it take for Bush to answer the question of what did he know about Bin Laden's threats to this country? It has come out YEARS LATER that it wasn't just the one warning in August of 2001 but multiple reports and warnings that started as early as the Spring of that year.

Rudy needs to find a nursing home somewhere and go live there.
