MSNBC: David Shuster sitting in for #ucker Carlson ... INFINITELY better!

[TahitiNut]

I gotta say it's a breath of fresh air. I was reaching to change the channel - a learned response to seeing ">TUCKER" soiling the screen and, lo and behold! - David.

Kewl!

1. Oh, I'll watch tonight, since #ucker isn't on. Thanks. nt

[Pirate Smile]

2. This is happening a lot lately. I hope MSNBC is getting a clue.

[robertpaulsen]

3. #ucker = Night. Schuster = Day. n/t

[spanone]

4. can't believe they didn't open with the blackwater hearings

didn't even mention it in the teaser....

[TahitiNut]

8. Well, he's using #ucker's production staff.

Let's never misunderestimate the influence of the producers. The topics and story-lines they follow are persistent ... and they keep (in effect) a Rolo-Dex of 'sources' and guests. It's not something that can really change that much in a day or two, even though they work with 'current' developments.

10. i don't blame shuster....the producers set the agenda

[Vadem]

5. I was getting ready to flip the channel when I saw David! .....

What a breath of fresh air! Love him!

[David Zephyr]

6. I'm going to e-mail MSNBC that it's a better show.

Maybe some of us should do that.

7. I always send them a little thank you note when they do that!

9. except for his infatuation with Clarence Thomas. did you see that garbage last night?

he finds him fascinating, compelling, not a huge LIAR/hypocrite

that really infuritated me.

Shuster is a very strange bird. infinitely superior to Carlson/Matthews, obviously, but hard to fathom

[Gabi Hayes]

11. and, re: Thomas, will he mention this?

12. Didn't see it. Mentions of Thomas trigger my channel-switch reflex, too.

The man overstimulates my bile ducts ... sours me from head to toe. I was one of Thurgood Marshall's biggest fans in the country - and nobody could have been more disgusted than I was at Thomas's confirmation in 1991. Nobody. It's NOT about being an 'offended' race or gender ... it's about being a decent human being, none of whom could stifle disgust at Thomas, imho.

20. i saw him call thomas 'fascinating' and it threw me a curve

13. Buchanan just reminded Fred Thompson that

the US gave Saddam the chemical weapons.

[spanone]

16. i didn't hear pat say that 4 years ago. sob

[malaise]

18. Pat always manages to have to best of all worlds

I hate his guts.

14. kick

15. Tweety up. Food Channel or History? Off to check.

17. If we could only harness the power

of all those spinning preppy trust fund bow ties... sigh.

19. Tucker's contract expired 9/30

We can hope it wasn't renewed and Shuster in auditioning for the spot.
