Steve Kornacki: The human kidney stone

Outside of Greta maybe the single most irritating person ever to be a regular on MSNBC.

"Look how unpopular Hillary still is! Look at these numbers! Reality check!"

He's like a kidney stone that just won't pass or a double ear infection that just won't go away. Deeply and profoundly irritating on a global level. See: sandpaper on sunburn.

I SO agree with you. MUST shut him off when he's on. See: Nails on a chalk board.

He's the guy anyone who didn't know any better would reflexively say "he's got a face for radio and a personality for solitary confinement."

lucky for him. The other intern like that is now hosting Meet The Press 6 days a week if he shows up. I find both people hard to watch for sustained periods, say over 2 minutes.

Meanwhile dilligent and talented journalists like Joy Reid get their one hour weekday show canceled, work as a "floater" for a while ending up with 2 hours on the weekend.

It must be a deliberate choice on the management's part. After all they're the same crew that had Trump covered with such consistent and network wide unquestioning awe during the primaries.

on that network but only one is marginalized to the weekend.

It's very annoying, especially when irritating twerps like Kornacki and FOX rejects like Van Susteren have unmerited weekday slots.

Joy keeps soldiering through though.

He's his own little National Enquirer. And that poll is for shit. Look, if a poll shows that Dump is massively liked by the Repubs and loathed by the Dems, then clearly that poll claiming Dump is "more popular than the Democrats!" (insert eager sweaty panting here), is skewed toward Republicans.

And...again...haven't we established that these polls will be skewed toward Rs since the only people answering phones these days are older conservatives?

Hey, Stevie -- run a Facebook or Twitter poll and deliver those results. Dingleberry.

On a side note...did you see how fed up Tweety got with Dumpy last night? There's still hope.
