1. Steel/Steely usually refers to a less pleasant term for women in the South in my experience, though

3. I think the GOP is testing the waters - how will disaffected republicans & the cult react to her?

Maybe as VP they can get some of those suburban women back. And the media will fawn all over her. If she's on the ticket & we have a woman on our ticket, the media will do constant comparisons between the two women & Haley will always come out on top.

The media is only as liberal as the conservative corporations that own it.


That's a bumper sticker I once saw.

As if criticizing Tillerson and Kelly for wanting to stop the madness of King 45 is a courageous step for her to take.
As if standing up to the guys who may have wanted to try to stop Trump makes her an exemplary strong southern woman. STUPID! Outs herself as just the opposite.

None of them contribute anything of value to the network. How can we make that happen?

"Annoying" doesn't bother me as much as "let's make sure we give equal time to right wing talking points."

Ari Melber does that as well, but not as chronically as Mitchell and Todd.

Matthews is OK, but sometimes he gives far too much credit to people who really don't deserve ANY.

11. I got sick of all the video paens to Chris Matthews last week about his show's 20th anniversary.

Sounded almost Trumpian to me. Remember that cabinet meeting Trump held where they went around the room and everyone was supposed to say how truly wonderful and awesome he was?
