1. I wanted him to unleash on that Republican Congressman.
I felt he was holding back and I wanted a knockout punch at the end of the segment. Of course had he unleashed he would've been ripped for being a hot-head, loudmouth, etc., so in in that sense it's a lose-lose.

But I'm glad he mentioned the high top marginal tax rates (70-90%), that almost never comes up in the MSM.

2. I think you gain more, and get the point across better, when you don't unleash
with an 'opponent' on TV (like Tweety and Ratigan often do - it just turns into who can talk the loudest). Cenk's asking the right questions and doing great follow-up, and that's what's most important. And let's face it, we're the only ones watching MSNBC anyway. :7

Think Cenk will get an MSNBC gig?
