I watched Hardball tonight and the very end of the show was very strange. At the 5:00 pm show Mel laced into Chrissy about his glee that our VP was caught in a contradiction regarding the Iraq war back in 1994. Chrissy of course started to brow beat Mel, as he usually does to a woman, and Mel laced into him. As the show ended, Chrissy did not look to be in a good mood and Mel's screen shot was cut. The other two guests were still on as Chrissy said goodbye.
On the 7:00 pm show Chrissy shot the ending to show him smiling and no guests on screen as he said goodbye. The phoney POS that he is did not want any heat about cutting Mel off (my opinion)
