Has anyone been watching the primary coverage on CNN which includes these three?? I have always admired Donna Brazile, and I love the dynamic these three bring to the table when the other pundits start talking in circles. Donna, Jamal and Roland bring it straight, no chaser. Its intelligent but plain. Probably one of the reasons CNN's ratings on primary nights is sky high and above both Fox and MSNBC:
Here's a clip of Donna on CNN this past Tuesday
YouTube - "eggheads & african americans" begala slap down by brazile

Later in the show, Jamal made this comment:
"Here's the problem for the Clinton campaign. They want to come back in and change all this at the end of the game, at the end of the day. So, they want to say, well, if Michigan counts and if Florida counts. Well, you know what? If my aunt had a male appendage, she would be my uncle."

Its commentators and political analysts like these that are needed on networks that purport to cater to African-Americans, but unfortunately, those networks are interested in educating, just entertaining.
