Hey! Lawrence O'Donnell subbing for Morning Schmoe - is actually very good!

I was ready to flip the switch this am when I heard his voice - glad I didn't.

Good job, Lawrence....but the SE person is vapid - who calls themselves SE? Silly Evelyn I guess.

No references to lazy Americans looking for a handout.

Very quiet and respectful.

Probably scared to face people that can retort everything she says....

I DVR Martin Bashir & fast forward whenever she's on--I don't care who is counteracting her insipidness. Also, that raspy voice drives me up a wall. It makes the ugly things she says even uglier. Ugh. MSNBC is really trying to shove her down our throats too-I've seen her on Bashir, Ed, O'Donnell & Politics Nations. Yuck.

I like Lawrence, he's a cool guy who isn't afraid to argue. I usually catch his show in the evening when I can. I can't really stand Scarborough, so I've only seen this show once or twice before. From what I remember, Lawrence is a more lively host. Al Sharpton is also a great person with a powerful presence and voice, I like the guy a lot.

Don't care much for Cupp, though. I've seen her on Real Time with Bill Maher and other stuff on MSNBC, I can't stand her politics, it kills me hear what she has to say, because my family is struggling and she just loves to blame the economy on Obama, when I know the reason why my family is in this spot is because of Bush and the Real Estate market bust.

She sounded all happy when she mentioned the one person in a documentary about struggling folks like me and my family who said "I don't want help, I want a job." she must've construed that as an anti-unemployment insurance statement. What I would've said if I was on the show, I would bring up that I don't want help either, I don't want to be in this spot in the first place. And don't think that I'm ungrateful for the unemployment insurance that is barely keeping my life normal. I would fight to the death for it.

They let him sub for Morning Joke?

Wow. The tenor of that show might actually be tolerable for once. I'm sure Mika is enjoying not being verbally abused.
