MSNBC, if you're listening -

Elyse Jordan has to go.

She is testy and unprofessional. I just watched here get defensive when someone tried to approach a point of hers from a different perspective. I have seen her do this same thing before.

Why is she even there? She doesn't bring any redeeming contribution to the program.

And she is weird! She holds her face in very strange poses. Creepy to look at.

she said she was a "libertarian". Okay, whatever. She's still way too defensive and closed minded for a discussion panel. Her points are straight from the rightwing blogosphere no matter what she wants to call herself.

I have liked her when she was first on Morning Joe because she would push back on him. I think she got under his skin a bit since she went to Yale (undergrad) and he famously didn't get into Yale Law School (Mika sometimes gives him a little jab about that).
