I heard them reference this today, but didn't really understand it until now. I wouldn't go as far as saying it's "the most compelling television" but I can see the comparison. Wonder how Pat Buchanan feels about being compared to a black man?
This MSNBC early-morning political klatch is oddly addictive, even though its hosts at times come off like a cable news version of 'American Idol.' Joe Scarborough is Simon Cowell, the Randy Jackson role is divided between Pat Buchanan and Mike Barnicle, and Mika Brzezinski is Paula Abdul, always seeking to say something nice about politicians the others mock. Willie Geist is their Ryan Seacrest, only much funnier.
