83. It isn't about pretty, quinnox my friend.

Tue Jun 25, 2013, 07:36 PM

She's brilliant, quick-witted, well-informed, and charming, and yes, farther down the list I'd add "...and she photographs well." I realize that's practically the ONLY standard that's important anymore, but for the appearance-obsessed, she does have that and WAY MORE. Unfortunately, it's TV so you can't be ugly and succeed (at least in your face. Your VIEWS are a separate matter entirely).

I wish while MSNBC was handing out new shows to people, they'd give her one. I saw her guest-hosting one time, and also remembered seeing Karen Finney guest-hosting. Karen was pretty good, alright, but Joy Reid was head and shoulders above her.
