Carol Costello 2

Hey, who put my mom on TV? I can't believe Costello has the #1 spot here. When I turn on the news in the morning, I need something more than friendly breakfast-table banter. And if I wanted to see idiots jabbering around a table in the morning I would turn on Fox & Friends or Mike & Mike in the Morning. Luckily Costello hasn't descended to that low, but those apologetic "Just Sayin'" segments are just as irritating. In these segments, deep issues like "Is affirmative action still necessary?" and "Is feminism obsolete?" are treated as though they were in big noncommittal scare quotes. What will the future topics be? "Is Obama a big racist? Just sayin'. Are the Jews really responsible for the banking crisis? Just sayin'. Do people deserve to get AIDS? Just sayin'." If you want to say something and you think you need to apologize for it ahead of time, maybe you should think twice about saying it.

Should you not be rating the show instead of Carol? Or do you think another personality could add more depth to an otherwise shallow format?
