12. But He's A repub Through And Through....
He may be against the war, but he's 100% Against the Democrats on everything else. He even will bash the Dems split opinion on the war when he gets the chance.

The last time he had something positive to say about our side was.....NEVER!

7. tsk tsk - you forgot the rest of your sentence
**He is one of the neo-con fair-haired boys ** that they think is sooooooooo cute!

Such an innocent "little boy" with this bow-tie and all. Cherubic smile and everything.

2. I Trust You're Not Watching Him...
If you're tuning into his show, then you're part of the problem.

I said it before, and I'll say it again....you don't see repubs watching The Daily Show or Countdown. So why do DUers have this fascination with watching and giving ANY exposure to twits like fucker, whora, tweety or scarborough.

10. Good For You
You won't be missing anything. The last time I saw a post here which commended or complimented ANY of those afternoon schmucks, was NEVER.

15. No flame,please
I like TC..he knows what he is and not to take his show too seriously. It's the Rush, Sean, Bill, Ann Coulter. Norah that think they are journalists saying something important that is dangerous.I like to hear THEIR spin, it's makes for some comic relief

6. If they didn't hire him, he'd sue that they discriminated against
brainless, snotty twits with hormonal deficiencies?

18. MSRNC is in trouble and
Abrams at the helm is floundering - they do not have a deep bench, unless they haul in David Gregory from NBC to shore them up.

Keith is the only reason to watch unless something is happening early in the day and you cannot abide Daryn Kagan to give you the news.

20. his father is some publishing bigwig
That's how he got his job originally, and perhaps how he keeps it. A ride on Daddy's career.
