ABC news wonders why the ratings for their Sunday program are so low...

Putting this wack job on their panel sure does bring up the numbers, doesn't it?

1. This is EXCELLENT news for David Gregory.

Or rather, it's probably EXCELLENT news for Chuck Toad since it's pretty much a given Gregory is losing the job and Toad will probably get it.

ABC seems to want to drive off viewers worse than NBC did when they gave Gregory his current job.

2. Gregory and Todd are two peas in a pod

from what I've seen.

3. Yes, another fire snorting right winger will create fireworks and bring viewers in!

That's the ticket! Nothing sells like right wing dumbfuckery in the face of reason!

Except that it doesn't, not any more. Their audience of retired peacetime military vets and Gen X slackers is dwindling as the elder die off and the younger just can't find the time to pay attention to the bullshit.

They'd better wake up to changing demographics or the few financial planner and luxury car advertisers they have left will flee. It's time to change their formula of 3 screaming wingnuts shouting down one tepid liberal. I think they know this, but nobody wants to jeopardize the cash flow they have left by making changes.

4. Well starters why do they have these shows on so early?

If they want to win the under 35 crowd, I can guarantee that unless they're ultra right wing religious, no one in my age group is up that early on a weekend.
