Get a Grip, Man

The former CNBC and now MSNBC anchor Dylan Ratigan went off on an ego-fueled tirade in a stunningly unprofessional segment with Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz this morning. The Florida Democrat is such a tough and capable cookie that I never expected to find myself feeling sorry for her, but Ratigan loses all composure and essentially rants at her for close to three minutes on live TV (even though, ironically, his underlying point has real merit to it). What’s his problem? Watch.
