1. Whoreward Fineman is so tiresome.
I do wish he'd go away -- he has nothing to offer but meaningless blather. Feh.

3. He' Frequently on Al Franken Show
Al Franken does this gushing thing before introducing him, it's nauseating.

either. Zero insight sense!

6. My thoughts also.
I rolled my eyes when Fineman showed up. He seemed too weary for a recount.

I am boycotting the cable "news" stations, since Nov 3. I put Olbermann on, and then again when someone wrote that Kerry's daughters were on. I got AAR.

7. But, but...Howard 'looks' so punditishy. He's the perfect
shiny faced, slickly groomed guest...who says nothing much, but says it in a pontificating manner. He always butt kisses the host which is much appreciated.

8. I've even heard Al Franken say that Fineman has been a dinner
guest at his home.
