LOL

Dr. Cornell West and Rev. Sharpton. Should be very interesting, indeed.

something. West and Sharpton with Steele should be interestng. Perhaps everyone knows Steele doesn't have a chance against that panel and they will take it easy on the guy.

Always a wonderful program

I just love her, and haven't seen her around in a while. It will be nice to hear her insights.

Thanks for the heads-up!
