3. All their headliners are gone

Lawrence, Nicole, Chris, and now Ari, all on vaca at the same time and their stand ins are Terrible. I am forced to watch CNN I guess.

7. Katie Phang. She has a show on the MSNBC podcast.

8. She is lovely and intelligent, but...

I simply cannot watch her. Those damned fake caterpillar eyelashes (much like the ones they plaster on Stephanie Ruhle) are just too distracting. Why do MSNBC makeup artists DO THAT to their intelligent female hosts?

10. And she's probably not a rap music wannabe like Ari, either.

I mean, talk about unqualified...

11. They do it to Rachel Maddow, too, and we know that she doesn't normally wear makeup

There was one time, ages ago, when she broadcast from a station near her home, I think. And since she can't do her own makeup, the station's local anchor had to do it for her. And Rachel explained that the woman only had her own makeup and had a darker complexion than Rachel, so she looked differently than she usually did...

9. Katie Phang is no nitwit.

She is an attorney and is very bright. Some people like her better than Ari Melber.

12. I liked her

She did a good job
