unsolicited advice to the R uberlords because he is a legend in his own mind.

I have to watch again because Mika absolutely kicks ass. Wow!
What a difference when Scar is gone and that should be permanent!

Maybe he was given a time-out and sent to his room?

That display at the beginning of yesterday's show was
disgraceful and a little bit scary.

The show is always 100% better when he is not there.

he's little more than an arrogant moron anyway. Brainless oaf to the point where he just steamrolls
over anyone w/a dissenting pov. I recall mika's old man calling him "shallow" a year or so ago.

Scar is little more han a tempest in a teapot.

Just like Palin. No need to educate yourself... Just find someway to try to look more the part.

He usually is a bully, but was way over the top yesterday. I often wonder if he has some type of personality disorder, and sometimes he's off his meds.

She is so passionate, the guests were all quiet as she stared at all of them.
WHAT are we doing there? Why is it not discussed EVERY SINGLE DAY?
This is the best I have ever seen her. She needs her own show.

Two seconds of his smirky little face and I'm reflexively ready to smack him. More irritating than most of the RETHUG pundits.

After singing his (Ryan's) praises, he quickly had to add, "But I'm not voting for them!"
What the fuck kind of Democrat are you Harold?

everybody's game steps up.

They don't have to spend the first 15 minutes talking about Arsenal (or whichever football club Joe is always going on about), they actually get to complete a thought and have a complete diccussion/debate, and they don't have to break off their input to deal with the titular host having a tantrum anytime someone makes a critical comment about Ryan.

That said, Harold Ford and Mark Halperin are still total wank*ers but the show is infinitely more watchable.

He never lets anyone finish a sentence. And if someone dares to challenge him...oh boy does he get nasty. I've seen it almost come to blows.
They must all be relieved when he is gone from the show. Mika hardly gets a word in otherwise.
They never did mention where he was today.....hmmmm.

Joe often interrupts but when someone else tries to interject a point he gets nasty and says "let me finish".

Morning Joe is wonderful to hear, Joe at his most harsh moment is not as bad as listening to "fair and balanced" at their best moment. Love the show, Joe does state the republican side and at times even admits they are not always on the right track. I record the program so as not to miss one moment. Love it when Zbigniew Brzezinski is on, he can tell more information in 15 minutes than I have ever heard from Rmoney.
