Why doesn't MSNBC dump Buchanan? Over the weekend he bragged and laughed about voter suppression.

1. He is literally on TV from when I wake up in the morning to before I go to sleep at night

He appears all day and all night on that channel. Doesn't he ever burn out?

[WindRiverMan]

2. Pat has been dead since Reagan's last term.

It is just momentum that keeps his going.

[emulatorloo]

3. They pay him to play the role of "evil republican." That is why they don't dump him. n/t

[Johonny]

16. yeah

What passes as news these days means you must have Republican guy (TM)to counter balance any real news that might slip into the news cast. It could be worse.

4. Link?, or a transcrpt, maybe?

sounds like that idiot, I have no clue why they use HIM for opposition comment, he truly is ugly to look at and excruciating to listen to.

7. Saturday Hardball Special Edition. They were discussing ads on black radio stations

Matthews asked Pat if he had ever done ads on black radio when he worked on Republican campaigns.

He started laughing, saying something along the lines of "Sure . . . "Hey everybody, don't forget to vote this FRIDAY on election day!!!!"

There is probably a transcript on the MSNBC site, but that's pretty much what happened.

[skooooo]

10. It was funny actually..that he was so open about it.

That's what they were laughing about, imo.

[emulatorloo]

13. I agree -- I was laughing too. I didn't take it as an admission from Pat, rather a joke about RNC

A dark joke, the kind of thing we would make on DU.

[skooooo]

14. Ed Rollins was cracking up..

:rofl:

Truly it was funny, even if it doesn't come out that way in a thread.

[skooooo]

5. I saw that....

[EmeraldCityGrl]

6. Both he and Bay are about as relevant as Andy Rooney, another one who should be retired.

[JenniferJuniper]

9. Has anyone ever seen Bay and Pat together?

Just wondering.

[wurzel]

8. Buchanan knows so much. And has learned so little.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

11. He makes Scarborough look like a moderate

[Generator]

12. You want to dump him NOW?

On the verge of watching his head explode when a Black man becomes president? OH NO you don't. That will be some damn good teevee.

[quakerboy]

15. I caught that bit of filth as well

Every once and a while I catch one of his exchanges and he seems to be mildly aware of reality, and I think, I know he's a nut, but in a different world he might be ok.

But no. He is not a good human, and that don't change with the age and society one is born in.

And Tweety laughed right along.
