But, the area in which Todd pisses me off the worst is his mumbling round tables where they don't even introduce the topic, but just expect the audience to listen to the "inside baseball" discussions--as though that makes him "cool."

It is infuriating.

jumping all over Nancy Pelosi. He was attacking. She answered him politely and intelligently.

I was furious. I don't remember ever seeing him do that to anyone else.

As in, "Gregory asked what the entree would be at the White House Correspondents Dinner but not the soup because that would be a follow-up question."

At my sister's graduation.

It was memorable because he talked about how he wasnt very bright or talented, but was willing to kiss Bush's ass to get ahead (this was 2007). No seriously. He used language that gave this a vaneer of respectibility, but his upshot was "I'm mediocre, and I get ahead by making sure I don't make powerful people uncomfortable".

I was at a business conference in Orlando in 2010 and he was our keynote speaker. He made me want to run up on the stage and slap him.

What a fucking nightmare: ignorant ass wipe is paid a fortune to do essentially nothing. He doesn’t even have a good delivery and absolutely no real sense of humor. If he did have a sense of humor he know what a joke he was.

...then I realized you probably meant "ignorant ass wipe," rather than "ignorant ass wife."

when I told John Fugelsang that on their Sirius xm show, John immediately quipped. "Yeah. We're forming a harem for Frank ."

He is that funny, heartfelt, and unafraid to say anything to the Gop leaders. 🥰

He takes so long to ask the question I forget what the question was. Ari doesn't have the guts to call out the right, he would go out of his way to give an equal amount of time supporting fascism over democracy.

I've been furious with him ever since I heard an interview of him, in which he explained that his idea of a good segment is - "you bring one side in and they say their stuff, and then you have the other side say their stuff. And I've done my job.

To which I roared - NO YOU HAVEN'T. YOU LAZY-ASS GOOD-FOR-NOTHING!!! WTF ARE THEY PAYING YOU FOR? CHAIR-WARMING?

If I ran MSNBC, he'd be my first fire.
