Who pays Alex Witt? I don't mean the paltry MSNBC salary. .

I mean the deep pocket Repub operative or thinktank. How else to explain her regularly speaking in talkpointspeak using words that she clearly doesn't understand.

1. I just heard her battling with another RepubliBot. She sounded pretty testy

but he just rattled off talking points, doing what RepubliBots do best: not answering questions asked of them, but answering questions they <i>want</i> asked of them. Same m.o. ALL Republicans have when on other news outlets other than CNN and Fixed News Channel.

4. A lot of "job creator" bilge on MSNBC this morning

I heard several Republicans use that line to justify lower taxes and they never seem to get challenged. Are investors who sit around the pool and live off dividend checks really creating jobs? If so, it probably would take a pretty convoluted argument to support that notion. Yet, we never even see the issue discussed.

2. She's been on MSNBC for years, but still relegated to weekend work.

She never seems to get promoted. Nearly everyone else on MSNBC gets their own show -- when people are actually watching -- but the best she's been able to achieve is getting to sleep a bit later as they hone Chris Hayes' show and ready him for prime time. He'll, even Alex Wagner got her own daytime show. Witt must be wreak twit.

3. That's why I wonder if she's either a "legacy"

or someone's sweetie-pie. She seems like a real dullard.

6. She appeared one morning on Imus's show when he was still with

MSNBC with her band. She's a pretty fair musician (guitar and voice as I recall.) She should have stuck with that.

5. Her hair stylist and make-up must take most of her jack

Even with her "serious news face" she come across as a bubble-headed bleach blonde. I have always had sub-zero respect for her.
