I wish there was a decent morning politics show on MSNBC.

I don't like Joe, and honestly I'm not a big fan of Mika either. How great would it be if it was Rachel Maddow and Chris Hayes?

It's not strictly politics, but she is a very tough interviewer. It's a refreshing break when Joe is particularly annoying. Like today.

She's always very well-prepared and does a great job. A bright spot in the morning.

I like Rachel where she is and Hayes can be a little too wonkish for this early morning type show.(Works better on the week-ends.)

How about Ron Reagan and Karen Finney?

The assholes on that channel make Joe and Mika look like Noam Chomsky and Naomi Klein.
