....after some rather odd behavior due to his blood sugar becoming unregulated.

In fact they are all overworked from the grueling long days. This has been the thing to do at MSNBC over the last several election cycles, and I find it rather alarming to see some of them start to slide and lose their upright position by the time it is 1 or 2 a.m. on the East Coast. This may explain some of Rachel's cranky behavior that some here have noticed today/tonight.

Stupid MSNBC.
