Martin Bashir is back!

Now, 4pm ET, on MSNBC. I like his wry, dry humor. And he's a good interviewer too.

I thought I heard him say that Rmoney wanted to cut the marginal tax rate to 20%.

I believe that Rmoney wants to cut all marginal tax rates by 20% so that the top rate would be 28%.

Either way I am still happy he is back. Didn't get home from work in time to catch the whole show but I will try to watch it online later tonight.
