1. First time I liked anything she ever said!

I like Matthews ... but he is terrible about talking over people.

Good for Parker.

2. I wish more people would say that. He's so rude to his guests.

7. Matthews is the worst.

He poses a question that takes 30 seconds for him to get out, because first he has to pontificate and get across all his thoughts in framing the question, and then finally when the person starts to answer, he can't help himself. He has to say yet one more thing.

8. I think Joe Scarborough is worse...

Shit, he talks over Mika and the rest of his right-leaning compadres every morning.

9. That and...

his obsession with the pronunciation of "Cheney". But you're right...he's the worst. He just goes with whoever is in power.

3. All of his guests should start saying that!

I can never hear the answer to questions because he won't shut up long enough to let them answer. He asks a question, then just goes on and on and on...



















And then, just when you think he's going to shut up...



















He just keeps talking!

4. "Excuse me for talking while you're interrupting."

Bill Maher to Tweety (as I recall).

Should be standard reply to all the idiots who talk over interviewers or guests.

5. Chris Hayes does that too. nt

6. I think he gets paid by the word

on Benghazi.

12. Funniest segment in TV history is "Let Me Finish" on a show who's host is a serial interrupter.
