Commentator

The Resume

    (November 7, 1951- )
    Resides in Los Angeles
    Senior Political Analyst for MSNBC
    Commentator on 'The McLaughlin Group'
    Wrote for 'New York' magazine, 'The New York Times,' 'People,' 'Spy' and 'Boston Magazine'

Why he might be annoying:

    He is smug.
    He invariably takes liberal positions on issues.
    His cousin got him a job working for Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan (nepotism).
    He created a TV show, 'Mr. Stirling,' that flopped.
    He had a bizarre breakdown on a talk show during which he repeatedly screamed at a Swiftboat veteran, calling him a 'liar' and 'filth purveyor' (October 2004).
    He refused to apologize for his lack of professionalism.
    Many conservatives despise him.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He is usually outnumbered by conservatives on 'The McLaughlin Group.'
    He is one of the better dressers on the show.
    He is well spoken (well, except when he's screaming).
    In addition to his news jobs, he is a successful screenwriter.
    He wrote many episodes of 'The West Wing.'
    He wrote a book about how his father proved the innocence of a black man framed and killed by corrupt cops.
    He accuses both conservatives and liberals of exaggerating their religious beliefs to win votes.
