And Jen seems to be a little slow. What is it with those conservative women and their smarmy, condescending smirks?

Unless she is just delusional and thinks she did well and made her case. She always looks bad to me.

...however, I think she may also be a true tRump*ian, and is spreadin' the gospel to the heretics.

She deals in talking points while Joy (and the rest of the panel, today) deal in facts.

self awareness

Just as jack kingston or Jason miller

They don’t care what happens, as long as they get tube time

In Kingston and miller’s cases, I imagine they get paid by cnn, but what’s her name is trying to get a seat at the bobble head table somewhere

Speak quickly, sound authoritative, use big words and the idiot hordes eat it up.

But press them - who, what, when, where and why - and logic always tears their arguments to shreds. Hannity, Limbaugh, et. al., are masters of the "speak quickly, sound authoritative, use big words" bullshit.

His final statement was chilling, to say the least

He's written some good books. I need to check out his current stuff. I've read, "Big Lies," "It Can Happen Here," & "The Hunting of the President," in that order. Maybe we'll see more of him.

Fools for Scandal is the precursor to THOTP, if you care to go down that road again

NYT was a powerful force in the inquisition

Look up Jeff Gerth

We didn't have interlibrary loan until last year. I used to drive 15 miles into town to pick up my books. Now they are delivered to my local library three blocks away!

This is undoubtedly the funniest book I have ever read. I have a degree in English/Italian Literature so yes, I have read many books.

This sort of book is for me, a book to lift my spirits, and a book to identify with. As much as I have never been a don at any uni much less in the 50's I too make faces and I too groan and I too try to get out of things that are boring. Anyone who says they don't can date Margaret.


Another calls it “excruciatingly funny”

I need this now!

24. One thing I really appreciate about Joy
Sat Jan 6, 2018, 02:03 PM
Jan 2018

Is that she does her homework. She is prepared for her guests. So whatever comes out of their mouths, she is primed and ready to respond. She also jumps in and refuses to let them spew and babble unchallenged. So no matter how much Jen attempted to get in her talking points, Joy identified them as such and stopped her cold. She is good. Very good. She really deserves a prime time show, but thankfully she seems to be their go to fill in host for the night time shows so we get to see her regularly throughout the week. I would say she is one of the hardest working people on MSNBC. She certainly logs in lots of hours!
