Having done some of this talk show host stuff myself, I appreciate your civility and your resolve. And your knowledge and ability to articulate and to reason - even when your audio sparring partner doesn’t seem to want to be reasonable.

Bravo! I also appreciate the way on-air folks like you and also another of my heroes, Joy Reid, compel the filibusterers to shut up. She doesn’t let ‘em yammer on, or interrupt, or otherwise rudely dominate the discussion. And if they hang up? So what? Fuck ‘em! All that does is guarantee that YOU get the last word.

Andother thing she does is to immediately shut down AND correct, ON THE AIR, RIGHT THEN AND THERE, that it’s the Democratic Party or Democratic bill or Democratic representative etc. NOT “Democrat Party” and so on. Like you, she does it gently, with good will, like a loving but vigilant and conscientious parent might do.

Let me add that I enjoy reading your commentaries and I am happy to see your posts here, also!

Nice work!

Well done! And you demonstrated the patience of a saint, salin May 2018 #1
