Sweet Jesus, I hate Bill Kristol! Worse than ever on Morning Joe today!

He smirked and grinned while Sam Stein was explaining how the shutdown is affecting food assistance programs. I thought Carl Bernstein was gonna rip his face off. I wish I could have!

Kristol also said there were churches that would feed the hungry...all I could think of was Dickens: "Are there no workhouses? Are there no prisons?"

When Bernstein made a snide remark about the way Joe was bickering with Mika, Joe said to him "You're free to leave any time!" Bernstein laughed, but I think Joe was warning liberals not to get too mouthy on his show. As the saying goes, "He can dish it out, but he can't take it."

I wish that a real life "Trading Places" would happen with Bill Kristol. Or perhaps a long talk with his rabbi. I know my stepdaughter, who is a rabbi, would have strong words with him...

It's bad for the repuke party, but grin and smirk defiantly when people, esp. kids, are going hungry...yep, that'll endear you to the public!

And they wonder why they keep losing elections...duh...

Poor Mika. She has thrown in her fortune with Joe on this program and she suffers for it. This was the second day in a row that Joe dribbled shit all over the program...

But they are so low key they tend to drone.

Usually, I can just mute Joe and not yell but today really got me testy. I know I shouldn't let this shit get me down but I'm on my last nerve with what is going on in this country...
