Thanks so much MSNBC and Chris Matthews for including Donald Trump on your special

[AndyA]

WTF is Donald Trump doing on this program? JFK would detest what Donald Trump has said and done regarding President Obama. Why has he been included? Donald Trump has done nothing for this country, except take from it.

Disgraceful.

1. i agree. nt

2. Someone figured it might attract some more viewers and advertising revenue. That's

about all MSM is interested in today IMO.

3. m$nbc is our occasional friend

[Scuba]

4. Who? Did he used to be somebody?

5. That program was recorded in 2003

Way before the rethugs got completely crazy and before we knew who Obama was.

[Change has come]

9. Did the Donald have that thing on his head

even then?

13. I thought it must have been from the 40th anniversary

based on the number of now dead notables that were shown - and how much younger some of the others looked.

6. Switched to stored DVR as soon as it came on

One more reason to affirm my choice of getting current events programming from Stewart, Colbert and LOCAL PBS.

Otherwise skim NYT, WP, BBC etc on web.

And DU, of course, for selectively highlighting worthy articles.

7. Yeah, that really sucked. n/t

8. Luckily for me, I can't take Matthews or Trump, so naturally I missed it!

10. I changed the channel when I saw that they'd

included Pat Robertson and William F. Buckley, Jr.; Robertson would especially have been anathema to JFK and his family and he's said some horrible things about them and the assassinations over the years. WTF they were doing on there I have no clue, and who the fuck cares what Robertson has to say on anything, let alone the assassination?

11. It's an Entertainment Tonight style

tribute.

Really too bad they included that loser, so many other choices out there

[ReRe]

12. I thought the same thing when I saw his face....

... seems like the thing was taped years ago, because half of the people in it are dead now. Then there was DT, with red, not bleach blond, hair. It could have been cut out on the editing floor, but noooooo. Who gives a shit what DT has to say about anything? Surely not ANYONE who watched those shows tonight!

14. HE'S FIRED!

15. If I had a tv and wanted to watch.. donald the trump quack would

turn me off. Aren't his polls in the toilet where they belong?

16. Trump just reminded me I need to take a dump
