He is the Energizer Bunny of MSNBC. They need someone to fill a slot and he is there. I have wondered at times if and when he finds time to sleep.

Mitchell with new, boots on the ground type reporter. Knowing the Swiss Ambassador from 1968 doesn't cut it anymore.

I wish he'd gotten the 11th hour, but otoh he's been great broadcasting from Hungary. Smart, compassionate and quick-witted in evolving and dangerous situations.

But My God... Budapest, what a city!!

I flew into Vienna once, took the train up to Prague, down through Bratislava and into Hungary...

Love Prague, Bratislava was actually pretty cool... but I thought Budapest stole the show.

I could totally live in Budapest and visit Lake Balaton on weekends... except for the Orban thing.

I've always loved Central Europe.

Western Europe has been largely modernized... I mean, Frankfurt looks like Chicago, lol.

You have 600 year old churches surrounded by high rises and such things...

But Central Europe still has an "authentic" feel...

Tallinn, Prague, Bratislava, Budapest...
