He's just a washed-up speechwriter married to the VP of Marriott. Ykcutnek Nov 2014 #8
I thought he was married to a DC news anchor. No matter, he's dead to me now, he's a turncoat. nt Stardust Nov 2014 #9
Yeah. She started out as a news anchor. Ykcutnek Nov 2014 #10
I don't live in the DC area anymore so I hadn't heard about her job change. Thank you for the info. Stardust Nov 2014 #13

She did him the favor of acting like it was all in good fun, but when he went on talking she was looking him at him like "you're drunk, go home."

Years ago before the Internet dominated, he actually was a commentator on the East Coast who made comments favorable to Democrats, but he would travel to the West Coast where he would write opinion pieces saying exactly the opposite. He goes as you say whichever way the wind is blowing.

And his show is so poorly rated that there's talk of cancellation.

Now would be a good time for MSNBC to get a fresh start.

Start with Hardball going bye bye.

I always liked his show on Current TV. He would be a good lead in to Chris Hayes.

Sometimes he makes sense -- but I think the guy is just emotionally susceptible to what's going on at any given moment.

They could barely contain their contempt for each other. MSNBC has some quality younger commentators-get rid of Tweety

I forget why I stopped watching his stupid show. But, it was after several WTF moments. And the way he behaved after the 2012 debates was really really irritating. I don't have enough reallys to adaquately express how irriating, but grrr. Yet, I watched his show a few times after that hoping he would get better, he didn't.
