The GOP will defend any wrongs done in their camp. However, let someone else do it and they'll call it out.

Good for you, Tamron

Why do the Republicans always scream?

"Parody"? They want us to buy that this was "parody"? So suddenly, the Republican party is concerned with racism?

LOL.

The very racism they used to try to win the last 40 years of elections? Ha ha!

I predict that Tamryn will be a rising cable news star....she is a great interviewer and a class act.

I agree with you. I love Olbermann but I don't need to see him twice.

--Same here...She has been in more of the spotlight lately. Plus, she did a great job hosting Olberman the other night. -Good for her.

Yeah, when she shot it to Rachel she was all like "my mom didn't text me and tell me what a great job I did", I was cracking up. Mom dropped the ball. lol
