The worst thing to happen to Joe is that Imus thing. It is a shame he doesn't have a whole hour during the evening (without Mika) to make these objective points. He calls it like it is. Despite that...even the 'fair' Bill Maher really gives it to him when Joe appears on HBO. Joe will be making a point and Bill Maher practically ridicules him, even if Maher has made the same point himself. They are only seeing the guy who supported Bush, and not listening to what he is saying. And not the reality of Joe, being one of the first Republican talking heads who did speak out against Bush regularly. Pat Buchanan is also someone who I will stop the remote for. Even when I couldn't stand what he said in past decades for the Republican machine, he made excellent points. Now that he is more of a talking head, I agree with him more and more, and that was long before this election. He has made excellent points in regards to the Bush Admin for quite sometime. He can quite easily discuss the Repubican or Democratic talking points and go back to an objective political analyst, in the same thought. Not many of these talking heads can deliver such a range or with the same integrity. Could you imagine Obama and Buchanan in a debate? If he thought Hillary was hard...Buchanan would steamroll him. DCMediaGirl,

I've liked Joe Scar since I started watching him by accident on weekday mornings...He was excellent during Katrina and has been as tough on lousy Repugs as he is on Democrats. Plus he's smart and funny. And he luuuvs HRC. :) I’m not surprised.

You don't need to be a rocket scientist to see fascism and it's corruption and this is upsetting to lots of folks across party lines...I'm glad Pat and Joe et, al...are'nt afraid to speak up about it. It is what it is...Thanks for the post.. It seems to me that some folks just don’t like the tenor of this campaign.

Rasmussen! Ever-so accurate, especially with Clinton out of the picture (Remember, we're supposed to elect the <strong>strongest </strong>GE candidate). And this is before the GOP and media start its hit job on Obama. Ooh! Rasmussen!

(of course that goes both ways, but it is what i think of when i see her) that mika is just plain irritating. she reminds of the wife at a dinner party who never lets her husband get a word in. she is so busy interrupting with what she consideres her more worthwhile thoughts.

Like Joe, it is SO OBVIOUS that she is the superior candidate. Mike makes a lame attempt about BO's "halting style." Yea, that's called stalling, because he doesn't know the answer. This whole primary is so damn sad. Watching those clips of the interview (I saw it originally) reminds me of the thought I always have: What the hell are other people looking at?

I was there when Pat returned to his co-host chair following his bid for the presidency. I was scared to death at the thought of meeting him - what with that scary GOP convention speech he gave in Houston in 1992 - but he was a sweet, funny, gentlemanly guy with a great wit who treated everyone around him with respect. Politically he's as crazy as a bedbug but personally he's just wonderful. Again, a view I get a ton of grief for, but it's the truth.

She said that their debates serve to STIMULATE her thinking, and to sharpen her abilities to argue on Hillary's behalf. (Which - digression here - is one reason I don't think we should ever ban Obama supporters here, unless they are cruel or threatening Their statements serve to make US think about why we support Hillary, and force us to work up arguments to defend her.)
