I love how Joy Reid does not back down from any talking head.

She boldly disagreed with Dan Rather on whether or not The President has a mandate. She rattled off some much history to make her point that I was left dizzy. She is on Alex Wagner now. Dan was left looking like a penny waiting for change. Go Joy!!

Sippy Cupp on the Cycle. Admittedly, she bugs the shit out of me and I watch her solely for the purpose of being annoyed. Because my life isn't stressful enough.

if she gets her own show she'll be beholden to things other than her own opinions - like most of those other assholes there.

I want her to be a free agent and free to speak. I don't want her taken into the fold and muzzled.

being the same guy who promoted/supported the invasion of Iraq based on bad intelligence after McCain said Rice was not very bright for allegedly doing the same re: Benghazi.

She's smart as a whip and an essential voice.

was saying that Obama is a centrist, Joy understands what Obama is doing, has to do in this environment and she laid it out.

Alex is not very profound in her thinking..

She is the moderator and has to take the middle position. I assume they force Ed Rendell on her and am not sure why MSNBC is showcasing Rather to blather. He no longer fits. When Alex appears on other shows she is much more outspoken.

I thought that I heard that!

Take a lot at the vote count Mr. Blather! The Prez whooped RMoney and Coupon Care Man.

Blather Rather, Rendell, Grampy McCain types need to go BUH-BYE!
