Your vote lives after you!
As a longtime fan of LO, I’ve come to expect an outstanding A Block monologue. There is NONE BETTER than his important 4/11/24 opening monologue: YOUR VOTE LIVES AFTER YOU!
Feedback on The Last Word
I almost always watch “The Last Word” the following morning because we record every episode. I watch it with wife. We get most of our news from MSNBC shows.
On Friday’s, the best guest host is Ali Velshi.
You can write a better guest intro
Your intro of Lawrence Tribe, as compared with other guests, always leaves me feeling embarrassed for him. I immediately envision an elderly janitor, hunched over his broom, fingering the watch he was given for his 50 years of service.
You seem particularly impressed with Tribe’s lengthy tenure as a professor at Harvard, ‘cause that’s the only thing you offer as his bona fides. There’s no mention of the 36 cases he argued before the Supreme Court, the major treatise he wrote on Constitutional Law, the famous and influential figures he taught and mentored. Namely, why you invite him to appear on your show - I’ll wager it’s not for his tenure on the Harvard faculty.
