He mustr be doing a piss poor job. I haven never seen any MSNBC Stars and I am 78 years old.
Which type of stable is he referring to? The only stable I see on MSNBC, is a stable filled with jackasses. Oh ! I guess that's because they only espouse the leftist views of Democrats, whose is symbol is a donkey, or is it a jackass?,
MSNBC farm system…? O.K. hiring a few more pigs, bulls…Hayes AND Ezra Klein…Sharpton…you got it. They will really complement Mathews, the Tingle, Madcow, and the little short temper vile Lawrence O" Even Brian Williams is nothing more than a mere O's puppet. Sorry, MSNBC…keep leaning forward…you WILL eventually fall over the cliff. Our country does not need More of your propaganda!! La, La, La,La, La…
MSNBC is developing a stable of host?
OMG just more mental retards to come!
