MSNBC ran an ad during the last hour

[chillfactor]

that Mitchell and Tur will be anchoring the hearings Wednesday and Thursday mornings. So to CNN I go.

1. Mitchell needs to get sent to the minors with Chuckles Todd

ETA - boy would I ever love to see Jen Psaki get her feet wet on this.

[Wounded Bear]

4. No, just DFA them...

Too many baseball analogies, I'm sure. But DFA essentially means (for the uninformed) that they are off the team, with a week or so where the are exposed to be claimed by another team, after which they can either be sent down like the OP suggested, or outright released.

14. The famous, player to be named later.

5. Yea. A single A development club in Pine Knot, Iowa.

No offense to Pine Knot.

[redstateblues]

2. The B team

[TheBlackAdder]

9. They're getting away with it because Thursday's ratings were very high and figure WTF?

3. I'll meet you there.

[dem4decades]

6. It was nice of them to warn us, so we can make alternative plans. Tur seems okay but Andrea is

insufferable.

Who do they think tunes in to see Mitchell?

[BHDem53]

7. Greenspan.

[TheBlackAdder]

8. It's almost like the heads of MSNBC know people a re sick of them so they're doubling down.

[NCLefty]

10. They both have daytime shows. It's not a conspiracy.

[onetexan]

12. Tur is fine. Mitchell is awful.

[crickets]

11. Thanks for the warning. CNN/PBS combo it is until the night team is back. Silly MSNBC. nt

[Haggis 4 Breakfast]

13. NBC -- If you're listening . . . .

Your viewers are trying to tell you something . . . . Dump Andrea Mitchell. Her voice is like nails on a chalkboard. She fumbles around, loses her train of thought and then tries to throw in something to recover. Pathetic. She hasn't had a relevant thought in years. There is so much intelligent, educated, bright talent waiting in the wings. Put this harridan shrew out to pasture.
