Looks like Joy Reid is the only prime time host not

on leave.
I find it very sad that her producers insist that she covers all this CPAC fascism.

1. Unless...

She wants to do it. Otherwise, I agree.

3. I live for the day when some of these cable producers spill the beans on orders from their corporate

Good point.

2. Recommended.

I really like her. I hope she knows a lot of us do enjoy her reporting on this rat-nest.

Air America used to set up a table there, and report.

5. Somebody has to stay on for any big stories breaking.

You can't send all the talent on vacation at once. Maybe they drew straws.

7. LOL

8. I miss the regular hosts

Especially Lawrence O'Donnell. The lackluster female commentator they have covering for him (sorry don't know her name) cannot even begin to fill his shoes. He is SORELY missed.

9. Yep I too miss Lawrence

14. Zerlina Maxwell -- I've seen her be better than this.

She seems a bit dazed.

My wife walked into the room and said "Who is that? I hate her voice."

[AmBlue]

17. Yes that's it.

Sadly, she has not been up to the task. Wish we could clone Ali Velshi, who seems easily able to rise to any news occasion, be it Ukraine, Rachel's seat, or any other shows he's asked to cover.

12. A week full of second and third stringers except for Joy and Ali Velshi.

Great news week for Biden and the Dems, but most of the hosts covering it were not up to par.

13. Which means we really, really need Joy!

15. Michael Steele, subbing for Nicole Wallace, has been pushing David Jolly

and his "Forward Party" shit HARD. Steele was like, "The more, the merrier!", when he knows GODDAMN WELL that these 3rd parties ALWAYS hurt Democrats.

I have a very strong gut feeling that deep down, Steele believes he has another shot at becoming a "somebody" again with the Republicans.

[malaise]

16. I don't trust him for a minute

and nothing will change that

18. Agreed +1

Smarmy, trying to pass himself off as an R who's seen the light.
