2. "Frito Lay": An Oklahoma woman plead no contest to charges of prostitution after exchanging sex for assorted bags of chips.

Loved Patti on "Get me out..." She was so kind, genuwine and honest. After everything with her husband, seeing her in this new light really caught me off guard. That show was terrible and embarassing for a lot of the other cast. Just goes to show you, that she's a real tough broad.

When Geist's silliness gets less comments than Joy Behar announcing she won't be getting married any time soon its time to reevaluate your priorities.

Can he please go away!

Jon & Kate's marital problems were only exasperated by the glare of TV. Her abusive personality destroyed their marriage.

They should retroactively rebapitize the show "Kate berates Jon and the other 8".

Why is Willie on TV at all ? He should be running a high school newspaper.

Willie Geist is a site for sore eye geists that sometimes gives me the willies.

Darn. Darn. Darn. MJ's untimely death took the spotlight off Jon and Kate. We can still look forward to the custody battle, the three attempts at reconciliation, andthe book deals.

I think Jon is done. He seems to have never really enjoyed the show, and has had enough of his wife's demanding, abusive personality.

[desertdweller]

I would have split when she got the bad "do." Not zesty.

Who in the media department is trying to get hired there?

Wow, every week it's the same pandering to all the conservative talk shows.

Notice this week, neither Danny nor his intern put their name on it.........

Were making progress :D

Willie Geist is aggressively lame. His head lies on Mika's lap, as if he were on something.

[Mike Barden]

Was she a chip off the old block?

[GeorgeP922]

You mean her father, sadly for him no, he gets to be humiliated by his daughter every day exploiting his progressive credentials so she can help smear Democrats day in and day out.

[Klatu68]

as a former student, I tknow he is brilliant, and a tough grader. she is two orders of magnitude less bright and alert and sharp. she likes willie in her lap, though.

Isn't "Morning Joe" always "some utter nonsense" ? Those of you who watch will have to judge.

AMEN!!!

[CompliantMedia]

I don't mean to be cruel or snarky, but does Willie Geist really belong on this show ("Morning Joe")?

He makes former CNN anchor Aaron Brown look like Mr. Excitement.

Perhaps his father Bill Geist (who works for CBS) has some contacts at NBC. But in most similar situations you still have to produce once you get the gig.

Also Mika B. Daughter of ZBrz.,also C.Hazlett granddaughter of Frank Rich, and so it goes. Any wonder they are where they are in the ratings?

Who cares about Willie Geist's week in review?

[Beantownbadboy]

Nobody I guess except HPo.

[thakgd4colbert]

I enjoy Willie Geist on Morning Joe, why does everyone have to be critical all the time? How would your audience rate you?

Nepotism is good for television!

Misogynist Joe is brilliant!
