I have to grudgingly give him some credit for being willing to fight outnumbered every day he's on that show, and for his bulldog tenacity in sticking to Dem press doctrine of never never never admitting another Dem ever could possibly have done anything wrong or dumb, no matter how painfully obvious the evidence is to everyone watching, and no matter how small the corner he gets painted into may be.
But yeah, he's repulsive.
