Speaking with a more distinction on MSNBCNOW? Blathering on endlessly on CNN on the rule of law, eventually capitulating that the action against Maduro was just and the Senate is just being pissy?

At least it's good for everyone's ratings. Rachel's will be through the roof on Monday. She's still on Mondays, right?

Whatever.
