1. I love Al . But, I can't handle Tweety. He talks so fast and keeps

cutting off Al and not really listening. He just barrels on to the next question. Tweety just makes me nervous.

2. Yeah, Tweety can be irritating. But he's passionate & says it like it is, when no one else will.

I remember he was one of the ones to finally smash the birther movement, when he had a leading birther guy on his show. Tweety gave him hell, and finally just said something like, "That's crazy. That's just crazy talk!" The guy stuttered, and, well, Chris just called it out for what it was: loony talk. Other media people started disregarding the birthers, then, and not having them on their shows. It quietly died.

Before then, the media was talking to those crazies as if they were sane and had a possible legitimate issue, not catching on to the fact that this was all made up for political or racist reasons, or by seriously unhinged people.

3. That was a really good interview. I remember the Gore-George W. thing.

Where Gore invades/stalks Bush during a debate. Bush handled it well. Clinton should've done something like Bush did...look at the opponent & give a nod, acknowledging him, as if to say, "Hello, there" or "You want something?" It made Gore look sort of silly, as he walked back to his side of the stage.

Franken says he thinks they may get the votes to keep DACA. Hope that's turns out to be the case.

5. Al handled him very well, actually.

And Tweety should put down that coffee cup once in a while. Either that, or somebody on his staff should substitute bourbon, or something.

6. Chris is one of my favorite MSNBC personalities

I like when he says things that aren't from the talking points of the DNC- shows he has an independent mind of his own.

4. Corporations don't want to lose great workers

and universities don't want to lose great students and sending little kids to countries where they don't speak the language is going to look really, really bad.

Don't let the Republicans weasel their way out of this one. Keep the pressure up.
