3 minutes in - just started.

"There is language in this show that some may find offensive."

4. YUP...serious indeed.
I watched a bit of it, but I was big time distracted by the NCAA basketball tournament.

Eric Alterman, was as always, brilliant.
Joe (what dead intern?) Scarborough was oily as one would expect.
Laura Ingraham was despicable.

Jeanine Garofolo was interesting and dead on when she beat up a freeper in the audience who objected to her assertion that Bush was "appointed" in 2000 and didn't win jack shit.

It was interesting and at times, funny.

I couldn't hang however, because I can't stand "JOE" and Laura Ingraham makes me want to barf.

It may be on again later tonight.

5. How's this for a quote
Sheryl Underwood (rightie): Bill O'Reilly has been able to make "a disagreeable asshole into an entertaining art."

6. Not really worth the watch
Joe Scarborough, after preening on about how he steps back and lets his guest talk on his show, ends up talking as much as everyone else on the panel put together. He's in love with himself. Too bad he never says anything interesting.

It was a really lousy discussion. Complete waste of time, even just on in the background doing other things.
