Watching Melissa-Harris Perry's new show, and I gotta say --

[madamesilverspurs]

Ed Cox is a rude, self-impressed, lying schmuck.

Just sayin'.

1. just sayin'

can't get rid of him soon enough... not a good first guest

[Lebam in LA]

3. Couldn't agree more

He is extremely rude. Fortunately I started watching a little so so can fast forward past him.

2. Melissa handled it well.

And she did get rid of him early in the show.

4. I predict she will have problems with many of the arrogant RETHUGS....

While the world of academia is full of back-stabbers, they are generally a cordial, polite bunch in public. Giving rude, overt liars benefit-of-the-doubt, is not going to cut it.

10. Therefore, she should not invite the re-thugs on. Do as FOX does for the GOP

Invite only Dems and left-wing guests. Let them tell their side only Doesn't matter if it's true or not.

6. Baratunde christened the new set, lol!

Congratulations, Melissa--now it's official!

[think]

7. Poltician's "daddy issues" seriously?

[Raffi Ella]

8. I signed in to DU to say exactly what you guys have already said!

Rude extremist asshole- You can't debate someone when they disrespect you right off the bat. It's absolutely impossible to have any kind of legitimate conversation with a person like that. And as her first guest!? impossible! Whoever booked that asshole needs to be fired.

9. anybody read the comments?

those wingnuts are something else

scroll down to the very last comment, which very aptly sums up the hypocritical, projecting trogs that typify the hateful sputa

11. He's the light weight I thought he was when he married the Nixon daughter. Has not an original

thought and can only scream the talking points he's been taught no matter what the question is.
