Does anyone else find Dana Milbank to be an obnoxious arrogant prick?
Keith has him on "Countdown" all the time, and I don't know why.

1. If you don't like it why do you watch it?

7. Nope.... but I have noticed a competition in the blink rate between
Nora O'Donnell and Dana Bash. They are each at around 60 per minute give or take. If the butterfly effect has any truth to it, we could be in for a rough hurricane season this year, I'm just sayin'... heh.

I just love my brother's backyard, this is one time Nimby does not apply.... doncha think????

12. Well, some consider them rats with antlers, and to a degree, they
are correct. Here, let me see if I can do this... one, two, three.... awwwwwwwww........

19. Not that you need it, but they are truly fit to melt a grinch's
heart, too beautiful.

17. *melting* I have to show this to my older son. He has a stuffed Fawn that was his
most beloved friend for many years.

8. I just read about half of his book "Homo-Politicus"
I remember having similar thoughts as yours when he ridiculed a Senator (sorry, forget which one) for criticizing Bush and the Iraq war because of some silly British meeting notes. As in Downing Street memo?

20. Are you talking about the Demcrats...led by Conyers...holding meetings
in a tiny room in the basement? They had some great people at that meeting..would have to look it up, but Joe Wilson was there. I was so excited about it at the time, and Milbank wrote an article making fun of them. It was the best they could do. Conyers was trying to hold this administration accountable, and Milbank made fun..he called it make believe or something like that. That said, I think he does a good job on Countdown.

9. I agree
he is arrogant and tiresome but I think Howard Fineman and Jonathan Alter are too. I like Rachael and most of the other commentators but if you watch Keith I guess you get them all. Try watching BBC America. You'll be surprised that there is lots of stuff going on in the world besides Hillary. For some strange reason I've grown disenchanted with Keith ---- used to be I could hardly wait to see him each night. Oh, well. Maybe, when we get down to the general election I'll find my Keith enthusiasm coming back.

11. I don't watch anymore but he is one
of the reasons I don't watch. His superior expression makes me think he just farted and will blame it on someone else.

13. Ooooooooooh - I can't STAND his smug, grinning mug. He makes me sick.
There are a few talking heads that really roil my blood and he is at the top of the puke list. Ugh!!
