Though I'm sure many factors are involved, I couldn't help wondering how much the exponential increase in threats to our current POTUS might have to do with the media lockout. Thoughts?

Great segment in a great program.

My first awareness of David Gregory came from video clips of him prancing and dancing with "M.C." (Karl) Rove.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for having the courage to play Frank Zappa's "I'm the slime", a comment on the media from the early 70's. No lyrics please. Still too offensive for radio listeners. Maybe some day....
