This is the first time I've seen this MSNBC reporter & I hope to see more of him -- he's good. Craig Melvin was in his stride with the way he handled the teabagger congressman.

Like the old 50's "Body Snatchers" movie where creatures from outer space were going to take over the Earth by disguising themselves as humans, one pod at a time, a Stepford-like cult with twisted ideas is trying to get its grip on the people's government, from the White House on down. They're all like robots. I can't remember the last time I've heard an original thought by a Republican in a tv interview.
