Dan Abrams drives me to distraction. He lost his show before and was
promoted by MSNBC. He should stay in his executive office and forget the camera.
His attitude and staring at his strange hairpiece is just too much.

2. Occasionally he slips into a Tweety mode
If he disagrees with someone on his panel, he begins cutting them off in mid sentence. It usually has nothing to do with politics but the particular twist he wants to give to a story. Otherwise, I prefer him to everyone on MSNBC except Keith, of course.

4. Jeeeez. He didn't "lose his show!!!!"
He's the guy RUNNING THE SHOW at MSNBC==the General Manager.

He took over the slot that Jerry Nachman had after Jerry got cancer and died.

Dan Abrahms is in charge of all programming at MSNBC nowadays. He's the one that closed down the studios in Secaucus, went to that DOC BLOC format, and SAVED the network, which WAS going to fold and combine with CNBC because they were flat-broke.

Like him or hate him, he's a corporate hero at Thirty Rock. He's the one that got Olbermann that nice payday, too.

And I haven't been watching tee vee of late, but last time I saw him, he had his own hair...if it isn't, it could be that his cancer has returned and he's getting the mega chemo (he had testicular cancer a few years back).

6. I love Dan Abrams. He's very relaxed, has opinions, has great guests and is easy on the eyes.
And that's got to be his real hair.

7. Hairpiece?
Say it ain't so!

Doesn't look like a piece to me. www.viewimages.com/Search.aspx?mid=51057176...

I like him, it's because of Dan - MSNBC is more to the left.
