the ONLY thing I can watch in the morning is Bill Press and Stephanie Miller
Now I could agree if MSNBC acquired them and they took off that shitstain Joe Scar and his imbecilic side kick that would be a real plus

I listened this a.m. to Stephanie Miller and she said the story is false.
It was published in the NY Post, a Murdoch rag.

or a false presentation of both republican and democrats because that will definitely destroyed what they've accomplish this short time and will take out another place of solace for some. There are democratic groups out there that I'm sure has the same vision as Al Gore does.
