Can't stand listening to him and his false balance.
Look he has a great voice. That's why he is where he is. Not because he's a fount of intelligence and wisdom as he holds himself out to be. Can't understand why he's on MSNBC. He couldn't hold Rachel Maddow's (Rhode's Scholar) jock strap.

(26,505 posts)understand half of what he says. Just imagine him saying "Lilly Ledbetter is laying low in Jallalabad." I think it would give him a seizure.
