She was the one who I didn't know all that much about! And I like his "panel" idea, think it worked out quite well the last time - with good guests.

I like Bill less lately, but if the guests are good, it's still must watch. Ya ain't gonna hear that shit nowhere else.

He may be a comedian, but he has always come out with serious opinion pieces. I'm looking forward to this week's New Rules - we're entering uncharted territory.

Looking forward to Killer Mike and Figliuzzi should be intriguing. Rosa Brooks also appears to be someone worth watching, but the weak spot here is Michael Steele.

Hopefully, Bill will behave himself this week and be sure to get his facts straight before going off on Democrats.

As I said upthread, I'm particularly looking forward to New Rules, since we know that Bill has never been one to mince words.

And it looks like a pretty good lineup, I liked the "panel" that they tried last week. As for Michael Steele, he's always been pretty much of a moderate - and a decent sport since he used to appear on the show back when he was Lieutenant Governor of Maryland. I think he's got to be a "never-Trumper" since he is a regular on MSNBC and Rachel Maddow likes him.
