Alex Wagner MSNBC is doing a fantastic job this A.M. She is going after Grover now

But did an amazing job tying the words of Akin/Ryan and Romney all together and showed how Akin has a history of this stuff and they have always supported him before. She made some excellent points on women's issues.

I've had her on every morning this summer and, to be honest, her show had never made a big impression on me. This morning? I think Alex Wagner might just have become my favorite anchor. (I like Rachel but I'm kinda old school. I like my anchor sorta calm and collected without all the pomp and drama. Joe is like being back in high school football with a coach yelling at me) So, that steely spine that Alex just got is impressive. I'm wondering if the ratings has given MSNBC the courage to up things a little bit in the progressive direction.

She's usually better than this.

She clearly agreed to not cross-examining the little prick to get him on the show.

I was really hoping she'd put him on the spot.

But the earlier part of the show I thought was most excellent. She was fired up.

She had several women on Sen. Gillibrand, Elizabeth Warren, Joan Walsh, and others.

little piece of shit ever. I do not care who interviews him. He should be shunned by society. His ilk is responsible for supporting the torture and murder of innocent human beings.
