Is anyone here assigned to watch Chuck Todd so we don't have to?

I turned it on for about 10 seconds and saw that he had Kathleen Parker on and figured it is another Republican Fest.
Just hoping his ratings tanked a lot more this week.

I admire your guts.

Pray tell, was there any GOP - uh - fibs this week that went unchallenged?

The Magistrate may have more important endeavours. At least, I hope he does!

DU membership is going to shrink pretty fast. There's enough stomach flu going around in the fall already.

Mainly because "This Week" is getting so much less like a news show (as it was in the days of Sam and Cokie) and more like one of those Hollywood gossip shows that come on after the evening news.

At least Chucklehead did his moves between interviewing 'stations' during the commercial breaks instead of just rushing off from one to the other on camera like some sort of reporter-superhero. Tim Russert never chased anyone down, he just grilled them while they were in the hot seat.

He gave a lot of time to someone from the Christian Broadcast Network, but I didn't mind, as the fundie was telling the Repukes that they can't take the snake-handler voters for granted if those candidates want to abandon their homophobic views on marriage. Anything that puts undue pressure on the GOP at this time is good for us.
