He's got some right wing jack-off radio guy (Lars Larsen) on as one of his guests, too, and Ed is keeping good control over the flow of the conversation. So far anyhow.

3. I think he's doing a good job, too |

I appreciated him trying to light a fire under Dems regarding the union bill in Congress. It was a good jab.
And he had the Steel Workers union president as a guest. A good move. His message was - no Dem support for unions by supporting this bill, then their union will have to think about their support of Dems. :thumbsup:

I don't recall him ever having to debate wingnuts. Seems like there are two wingnuts and Jonathan & Ed.
I've never seen Lars Larsen on such a short leash.
I've got to say it, I'm leaning towards Ed as my favorite to get an evening slot on MSNBC. My first choice was Cenk of the Young Turks. But for a first time on the air like this as host, Ed is poised and in control.
Gregory - ugh! :rofl:

Ed sez: "Coleman doesn't realize that it's over."

5. I Have Mixed Feelings About "Big" Ed |
|
He is better on radio than TV imho. Not much "presence" on screen even if he knows all the talking points. I guess we shall see.

12. Ed is doing a great job, IMHO. |
|
It's great hearing each member of the panel speak rather than just the din of all of them talking over each other at once.
I :loveya: Jonathan Alter.

BlueCross Blue Shield. It's about time someone talked about their thieving asses! I got the same rate increase notice earlier this year. I don't even use my insurance for the most part. :mad:

23. Highly unlikely he set them up for the program. |
|
That's the producer's job, especially when the regular host is out.
That being said, those guys suck. Ed handled them well.

17. I hope Cenk gets the same shot. |
|
Mika Brzenski and David Shuster both hosted this time slot when MTP took David Gregory. I really hope that Ed does not get it before there is an equal shot given to Cenk.
Ed did perform well by getting Reid on the record for his first fill in.

24. I'm not a big Ed Head |
|
but was suprised at how well he handled the interview. He could have held the repubs feet to the fire a little better... but it was a very good first showing.
