that since it's a really busy time of year, I'm just skimming over what I'm reading not giving it my usual full attention. But, some things I DO know about him may have been posted but I find his personal story very interesting. Not sure which religion it was, maybe Catholic, but BOTH of his parents are former clergy persons who quit their faith and get married. What makes this so interesting is John can quote so much of the Bible, chapter and verse when confronted with the "oh, so Christian" other side. Plus, he's actually a comedian who traveled with Stephanie Miller around the country. Over the past two years I've watched him move up the political scale rather quickly and is very impressive and intelligent. He's a "quick draw McGraw" type who is a really cool customer. I don't think I've ever seen him flustered AND he enjoys pushing back and calling people on the carpet.
I'm just not sure MSNBC will give him the free reign he would demand. Plus, I feel he would upstage their crowned Number One, Chris Matthews. I'm one who's unimpressed with "tweety" and have stopped watching him because he blows hot and cold so much of the time. Plus, he toots his own horn way too much.
For me, John would be a super shot in the arm for those of us who are more to the left. Just wonder if he would want to walk their thin line. If MSNBC was smart they would get behind him, but they've gotten rid of three I can think of right off the bat because they started straying too fart away from their agenda. David Schuster, Martin Bashir and Keith Olbermann. Plus Cenk Uger was offered some kind of deal making more money but they wanted him to agree to their agenda. He said NO.
However, I would love to see them give him chance, but they're so MSM beholden to Comcast and others and are under their thumb.
And yes, his looks would REALLY go a long way... talk about upsetting TWEETY! You are correct in what "the look" for TV plays, he certainly would have many following him!
