John Danforth is brilliant on Hardball tonight.

Also, Gregory is a much better host than Matthews.

1. I agree

Gregory is a much better host and makes the program more interesting. I'm thinking about posting the video of Danforth's appearance over at DEMbloggers.com sometime tomorrow

2. Gregory actually asks tough questions, and expects answers

He really plays harball, not the dandelion puffball that Tweety plays with Thugs.

4. Could be because he's a journalist

not a self-important pundit. :D

3. I watched it earlier

(I skipped the half hour with Rove, though) and thought he was great, too. It is nice to see a republican who is also an episcopal priest say that the republican party is too cozy with the evangelicals. Will he get reamed by Limbaugh, et al. for saying the republican party is a party of Christian conservatives like Dean did?

6. No,

he'll be praised for his level-headed pragmatism and for initiating a middle course in order to maintain the status as majority party. But I know you knew this.

8. Welcome to DU, castiron!

:hi:

And yeah, I kinda figured that. Darn it anyway.

5. Had our cable cut off...are we talking about David Gregory?

My wife once told me she though he looked like a horse...now I can't get that image out of my head everytime I see him.

7. the bad/funny/ugly looking reporters

are always better reporters than the pretty faces.

[Poiuyt]

10. Except for Candy Crowly

[Zinfandel]

9. They are all great for a MOMENT Durbin, Danforth, Boxer, etc...UNTIL...

BushCo threatens them and they retract like sniveling, spineless, little bitch slapped bitches!

[devilgrrl]

11. I didn't see this but let us remember that Mr. Danforth helped...

getting friggin' Clarence Thomas on the supreme court. :mad:

12. an empty chair would be a better host than Matthews
