(114,859 posts)But, the area in which Todd pisses me off the worst is his mumbling round tables where they don't even introduce the topic, but just expect the audience to listen to the "inside baseball" discussions--as though that makes him "cool."
It is infuriating.

I was furious. I don't remember ever seeing him do that to anyone else.

It was memorable because he talked about how he wasnt very bright or talented, but was willing to kiss Bush's ass to get ahead (this was 2007). No seriously. He used language that gave this a vaneer of respectibility, but his upshot was "I'm mediocre, and I get ahead by making sure I don't make powerful people uncomfortable".

What a fucking nightmare: ignorant ass wipe is paid a fortune to do essentially nothing. He doesnt even have a good delivery and absolutely no real sense of humor. If he did have a sense of humor he know what a joke he was.

(3,997 posts)...then I realized you probably meant "ignorant ass wipe," rather than "ignorant ass wife."

(23,003 posts)when I told John Fugelsang that on their Sirius xm show, John immediately quipped. "Yeah. We're forming a harem for Frank ."
He is that funny, heartfelt, and unafraid to say anything to the Gop leaders. 🥰

(25,189 posts)The guy really has diverted many an interesting conversation from reaching a conclusion.

(32,889 posts)He takes so long to ask the question I forget what the question was. Ari doesn't have the guts to call out the right, he would go out of his way to give an equal amount of time supporting fascism over democracy.

(10,249 posts)I guess it depends on who he's talking to. He sure as Hell likes to rip Democrats apart. He and Andrea Mitchell have made my skin crawl for years.....
calimary
(91,043 posts)I've been furious with him ever since I heard an interview of him, in which he explained that his idea of a good segment is - "you bring one side in and they say their stuff, and then you have the other side say their stuff. And I've done my job.
To which I roared - NO YOU HAVEN'T. YOU LAZY-ASS GOOD-FOR-NOTHING!!! WTF ARE THEY PAYING YOU FOR? CHAIR-WARMING?
If I ran MSNBC, he'd be my first fire.
