King is such a loony tune, I sort of hoped they'd ridicule him a bit, but it's probably better that the discussion was more related to issues like the Farm Bill, etc.

The panelist from the National Review was a total douchenozzle to her - said her district was made up of farmers and old people, the largest population on welfare in the country. Asshat.

And she did a nice job of answering. I did not realize that guy was with the National Review. I guess it shows that some openly Liberal hosts are not afraid to have rwers on their shows. Good for Hayes. And good for Christie Vilsack.
And it likely is better that they did not ridicule king, but Ms. Vilsack did say something about him wanting to make a name for himself and saying the hell with the people of the district. In other words, she kept it reasonably on the up and up, but she got a dig in at him too. At least that's the way I saw it. Again, I did not see the entire segment.
