She's gotta be the worst one yet.

They know what they've got. Possibly a way back to proper journalism.

one takes the cake. She is without a doubt the rudest one I have ever seen. She had best stay with Fox.

Well-programed/brainwashed

Obviously a member of the Eva Braun Sorority.

I wish other would do like Martin Mashir, if they don't answer the question they don't get to talk. If others did this we may not get answers but we won't have to hear the FOX created talking point either.

I'm so tired of this annoying little republican trick. Ask them about Romney or Boehner or Cantor or the republican House and they turn it back to the Democrats or Obama. Its an old trick and its really wearing thin these days.

Republicans have a great bag of tricks and they know their routines very well, but they never change the bag or the tricks. They just keep recycling the same old crap over and over again. They are persistent and consistent, but they totally lack imagination. Eventually even the lazy people catch on.

Thank you Martin! You are a jewel.

by upper management for threatening access to more Republican liars.

Why they bother thinking access to these dissembling scumbags is worth anything is beyond me.

And they'll all be willing to come on air and make fools of themselves trying to catapult their propaganda instead answering questions and engaging in discussion.

...who is a serial killer in her spare time. (They're out there! For the love of God, don't eat the snickerdoodles!)

That's one of my favorite movies.

She did it with such grace.

and I love it. Ms. Glover seems to the be latest of a line of rude, uninformed, regurgitating talking heads the repubs are trying to foist onto the mainstream shows.

I suspect she will not last long.

I saw that exchange and was applauding her from my living room, it was great!

Both Tamron and Martin are role models the other hosts should be emulating, imo, when it comes to the kind of crap the repub talking heads try to get away with.

I DVR Martin Bashir and saw him get rid of that latest RW talking head, Julianna.

Good on him and Tamron, and you're right...They all need to stop taking this rude BS, which most of them

try and pull off because they can't answer the questions they've been asked in any

way which makes their stupid *&^%% party look good.

to help explain the question to her!

He's so clear and precise-- yep, he had to explain the question to her... hilarious!!!

I'm glad to see him on MSNBC a lot lately -- more, please!

Yes, about Julian, he sure was an enjoyable guest on Martin's program today. I hope you saw the video!

What I've seen of him so far on the 'net I'm impressed. I feel I can give up my afternoon nap to watch his show from now the fuck on.
You tell'r Martin

...the best of MSNBC's Monday - Friday lineup. Everyone else is a roll of the dice. Tamron Hall's not bad, but she doesn't make the top 3.

Sometimes I do with the others (not their fault-- it's just me). Lawrence has got that mischievous glint in his eye when his program begins and, as the show unfolds, you can always see why. He has lots of relevant things to share and it always gives me a lift. I wish he was on five nights a week!!

or maybe early in the AM, he could do a QUALITY half-hour BEFORE Joey the Scar comes on, and then spend the next half hour or so making Dead Intern Joe feel inadequate on his own show...on any given day, Mika could use the help, it seems...

Lawrence O'Donnell said he would be subbing on Morning Joe when he goes on vacation. It seems weird that they wouldn't put another conservative or maybe even a wackadoodle like Tweety to sub. It's like they are trying to see if another leftie can win over Scar's audience. Although I agree with you on Chris Hayes. He would be so much better. What would we name the program? Mornings with_________? Fill in the blank.

I think. I hope he isn't ill. I hope it's just a vacation. Smerconish has subbed for him on Hardball.

I know some people don't like him but I do watch his program. He's got good guests and he can be very funny. And he's always on-top of what's happening.

Great bio, too. Peace Corps, aid to Tip O'Neill, Carter speech writer, recalls movie dialogues and old quotes (Churchill, etc.).

That'd be a good name for the show... (or pretty much any show, if it could live up to its name!)

than with prime time programming. I didn't care much for him when he filled in for Keith or Rachel, but I love him on his weekend show. He is better at in depth discussions with a variety of guests. As such, he'd probably do well in Scarborough's time slot.

I actually learn things when I watch "Up", whereas a lot of prime time programs just confirm my beliefs.

I really tried to watch Melissa Harris-Perry, but it just doesn't do it for me. I liked the professor side of her better than the cheerleader host persona she's adopted.

I'm glad Hayes has found his niche. He's so smart and enthusiastic!

They were a great team and I think his firing frightened her. I think she cannot afford to take a chance on losing her job and has been playing it safe since then.

was giving Martin his own show. I was impressed with him from day one and he's only gotten better.

I was thoroughly impressed. He's so smart and witty.

a few words.

He knows how to ask the right questions, which is a skill a lot of pundits don't have. Too many television hosts turn their questions into self-serving monologues and its so irritating. Drove me nuts with Dylan Ratigan.

Bashir. They always deflect the question to some other topic that has no relation to what the original question was. Just like droopy-faced McConnnel does all the time. And many so-called journalist just let them slide. That irks the shit out of me and at times I find myself yelling at the TV. Aaargh!

that she didn’t intend to answer the questions put to her, but planned only to say what she wanted to say--regardless of the question? She was just being more up front than most about standard Republican tactics.

ask any pig-headed republican any tough, or rather any question. On TV, that is. Especially ol' droopy face, McConnell.

and tell her if she wasn't willing to answer the questions put to her, the debate was over. When she refused, then close the program and walk off the stage, leaving her standing alone with her microphone turned off.

The talking heads could fill in the next 50 minutes.

Everyone is so damned nice to the Repugs, however.

He is anti-theatrical. He is calm, focused and persistent. In that he reminds me of Rachel Maddow. He is tenacious, patiently respectful of his guests but not afraid to take decisive action such as today.

He's got that genial exterior but he's a pitbull

Ah, those Brits!

It's about time a host stays in control of an interview.

Shut her the bloody hell up!!

I love Martin...I truly believe he should have a prime time spot!

I wish he had "reruns" the way the others do!!

Good for him--it's past time that newschannel hosts stopped giving liars and bullshitters a platform.

Tough nuggies Julie

She was positively skewered

with a Republican filibuster: Stop talking. And I keep repeating it until they get the message. I just repeat it continuously. I do not suffer fools; none of us should.
One more trick is to make them keep repeating what they're saying because you can't get the point they're trying to make. Ask for empirical data to support their assertions and allegations.
When you're dealing with people whose family trees have no branches it can be quite entertaining.

First a Lesbian, then a guy they consider to be black rabble rousor and now an "Arab" taking on their Straight Holy Whiteness.

They want "balance"? MSNBC could always hire a white husband and wife team with a child....

I was posting in the forum over there long before they announced Kathy was pregnant.

Next thing I know she'll be getting her drivers license....

Down the line when Mike decides to finally retire and Molly is old enough we'll get to listen to the Molly Malloy Show.

nt.

The AC didn't work that well in the booth so they left the door open and you could hear Kathy laughing in the background. We used to call in just to hear her crack up.

or would it just make my BP rise?

she was robotic and extremely annoying. i don't think she had a point except to diss the president and she did that poorly.

Hope Martin never has that interrupting horrible women (insert unkind word there) on his show again. In fact I hope everyone at MSNBC will boycott her. What an unbelievable witch!

He gets better every day.

You are ...

. . . da BOMB

Love his little asides. Very clever man.

The woman was clearly bothered that Martin had her cornered with that question. She couldn't possibly have given a straight answer & her tap-dancing around it only revealed how uncomfortable & disingenuous she was.

I've got Martin set on the dvr each day -- I'm hooked.

what else is new?

Sheesh!!! It was like a SNL skit!

... they are just looking more and more desperate.

Have they given up on 2012, and decided, "Let's just be assholes!"

Because your golden boy GeeDub and this mean-spirited, obstructionist Congress have kept it that way!!! Thank goodness Bashir kept to it. What a wench!

Mr. Bashir gets my seal of approval for reliably calling a LIE a LIE. I love the extra "oomph" he gets with that British accent.

Tamron, however, has earned my undying love (she's HAWT!) and respect (she's got INTEGRITY). She's almost my IDEAL woman ... direct, sharp, gorgeous, and with uncompromising principles in alignment with my own. She's also got an extraordinary sense of humor.

I agree, Tamron is great.

... all that Republicans bother with BECAUSE THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY RESPECT for liberals, voters, or the political process. Their attitude is rooted in condescension.

===========================

a turd by any other name still smells like shit.

. . . as it becomes more and more apparent to the public that Corporate America's endorsed candidate is nothing but a walking corporation himself. R-Money is nothing but an empty suit that cannot relate to people, does not have the tenacity to withstand a battle for anything he couldn't purchase and is trying to put a best dress on a steaming excreted pile of an economic agenda for the middle/working/poor. It's no wonder most of the people at his rallies are sunburnt, angry-faced white males of all ages and grizzled seniors who remain glued to Fox News.

More of that - that is what John Stewart was talking about years ago when Tucker Carlson tried to 'toy' with him on Crossfire on CNN.

Or was it just that they had a pricey ad waiting in the wings for when the unemployment numbers increased and then they trot it out? I would put nothing--NOTHING--past those crooks.
