ED COX, STFU! It's not your show!

Cox is the head of the Republican State Committee, and the first guest on Melissa Harri-Perry's new show. He's definitely learned the GOP's filibuster approach. He just keeps talking even when MH-P tries to stop him and politely asks him to let others talk. Never mind that he's wrong on everything (another Reagan worshipper), he's a major-league asshole.

What a repulsive, ugly person he is. Melissa handled it well I thought (and got rid of him early in the discussions).

Well, hopefully we won't see him again. Not because he's a Repug, but because he does not have appropriate T.V. manners, except maybe Fox cable.

They are instructed to talk over interviewers, always control "framing" the issue or question, and to answer with only the talking points for their position, no matter what the question is. Mellissa was just to kind. She is going to have to take more control of her own show and learn how to shut these airheads up in a powerful way. If I were advising the Dems I would make an ad out of the Rockefeller snipet she showed.

Advice to Melissa: Begin your question with the statement that if your question is not responoded to you reserve the right to cut the discussion and ask the quest to leave.
