The primetime MSNBC host and political commentator recently sat down for a lengthy interview with Slate’s Jacob Weisberg. Here’s part 2 from the interview, the latest in our series "Conversations With Slate. " You can watch part 1 here, and look for two more excerpts of the interview in the days ahead, along with an audio podcast of the entire conversation.

Sign me up. Events. We have experienced dozens of brand and product launches.
Much of the time, we are not impressed. Small baby-steps, same-old-same-old, reiterations of existing and stale ideas, broken brand promises, confusing off-brand presentations, mind-numbing marketing-speak, boring PR. Blah blah blah.
