RIP Howard.

(10,628 posts)journalism! I'm so pissed off all of the time, I didn't even notice he was missing from MSNBC!
RIP Howard Fineman. When is comes to political journalism, you were one of the best ever!
I will always remember his favorite saying "to cute by half" when someone, e.g. Alito's wife, was trying to gaslight everyone as to their racism, bigotry, and/or Christian religious insanity. He did not tolerate fools like her.

All I know of Howard Fineman is what I heard from him on MSNBC. I used to watch MSNBC often and enjoyed listening to Howard's take on issues. He seemed to be genuine, knowledgeable and honest.
I liked Howard Fineman and am sorry to learn he has passed away.
