I'm crazy about Ali Velshi, but does he sleep?

For days now practically every time I turn on MSNBC Ali Velshi is on. I love him. He's smart. He's fair. He's knowledgeable. He speaks concisely. But when does he sleep?

I’m no fan of hip hop or grunge or whatever it’s called, but Ari’s little interludes can be refreshing and sometimes illuminating. He kind of humanizes a musical genre that I would never otherwise encounter. Regarding Ali Velshi, the man is brilliant and indefatigable. He really should have gotten Rachel’s time slot.

I'd be tuned into that the way I am when Rachel is on. He's really the only one at MSNBC who's fit to carry her mantle.

And that being said, just how are Alex Wagner's ratings anyway? Any chance she'd like a weekend spot instead?
