Alex Witt on MSNBC just now...

That was a surprise. Discussing Charleston and the need to do something about gun access, Alex Witt was interviewing Howard Dean and Ron Christie. When Christie started with his predictable talking points, Witt very angrily cut him off; she really tore into him. Had the feeling that, had he been in the same room with her, she would have slapped him. She was clearly struggling to contain her anger. Not something we've previously seen from her. Wow.

I don't know why they never have anything of substance on. Christie has nothing to add to any conversation except to spit out the talking points he was faxed by the RNC.

What was also hilarious when Christie changed his initial position and Howie Dean said good to see you have now moved to the center.

It's odd that anyone invites him on their show. He has nothing to say.
