I think Eugene Robinson is the most intelligent journalist

I have listened to in years, as well as pithy and both cynical and sarcastic in an Oh Shucks kind of way.
I look forward to him ALWAYS!

Glad so many people at MSNBC like him, as well.

He's even up for an interview if Brian Williamson asks him, the last show of the night.

As someone else said earlier, it would be wonderful if he had his own show, every day, for a full hour.
