The Abrams show is giving me a real headache...
1. Pat Buchanan screaming at the top of his lungs for the 16th hour in a row, telling Abrams that he (Pat) should be allowed to talk - as if we don't hear enough of his 'soft' bigotry and anti-Semitism.

2. Jesse Ventura who looks awful and is a victim of steroids and his own peculiar brand of ignorance. He should have stayed in Ahnold Films.

3. Teen takes his Mom to the Prom - b/c she didn't go to High School and couldn't, therefore go to a Prom. At first 'blush', it sounds not-so-bad, but upon reflection, it's pretty weird. Really.

2. Why are you watching it?
Anything with Pat Buchanan is certified crap. Save yourself. Change the channel. Or turn off the TV and pick up a book.

11. Buchanan's voice alone is enough to make me nauseous
He is always screaming in his raspy voice. Would someone please tell the old fart that it's not necessary to yell when on TV? Some kid needs to sit him down and explain how a microphone works. It's not just what he's saying, it's how he says it.

3. On the bright side.. He kind of sidelined that tool Isikoff during the
Siegelman discussion. He was so dismissive of the remotest possibility of the use of inherent contempt and claiming "he said/she said" on the charges against him.. I was glad he hardly went back to him again during the segment.

Isikoff has made himself irrelevant, finally.

5. he's right up there with Broder. The best about Broder columns are the comments
from readers, generally some hilarious stuff.

7. I agree
The first half of the show was good dealing with the Siegelman case. I had to tun it off when Buchanan came on screaming. Why is he even chosen to speak to democratic issues?

8. Ventura knocked it outta the park

10. And more "Hillary should be Obamas VP choice"
Every night.

13. Just VENTURA's voice is a deadening THUD with a 2x4 to the head.
I thought we weren't going to have him to kick around anymore. These blowhards just never go away.
