Kurt Schmoke on MSNBC as a commentator
Kurt is now dean of Howard University Law School and former Baltimore mayor.

He is the first politician I ever heard call for the decriminalization of drugs.

Go Kurt! Good to see you again, sir!!!!

2. Slowly MSNBC is bringing in voices of reason
they still have the virulent RWers but the voices of reason are just such a nice change I almost always go to MSNBC when I turn on cable news.

3. He's terrific
That's great news. So they're now going to become that infamous "liberal media"?

Good. It's about damn time.

7. I voted for him and wish he had won
Of the new Maryland Democratic administration(s), I am least happy about Gansler. He was a hot dog. Your cousin would have been far better and far more serious about doing the people's work instea of his own work.

6. Schmoke was a great Mayor.
He even directed the police not to waste their time with Marijuana arrests. I would vote for Schmoke again.
