Tell me about your relationship with Joe Scarborough. We have a great time. It feels just like growing up with my brothers, because we enjoy the same things, like a really good conversation. Once in a while, though, it gets a little rough. When the show started, we had not met each other. We pretty much got to know each other on the air. We are fighting - we're getting into it - and kind of discovering whatever friction exists over certain stories and throwing it all out there on the table for better or for worse...
...thing to deal with? Yeah, it is. You know what? It's an age-old problem in this business.

But with no other options but to work with Saleh, the issue for the U.S. may be how to manage expectations of what is possible in Yemen. And manage them down...
...When Awful Is Good For foreign aid to have an effect in Yemen, it would have to be tied to some kind of reform process that both addresses Yemen's endemic corruption and devolves some power from Saleh. At the top of the wish list would be a political reconciliation between the central government and the Houthis. Not all is grim. With the right incentives, tribes in al-Qaeda areas could be induced to turn against the extremists, along the lines of the Sunni awakening in Iraq, according to Najeeb Ghallab, a Sana'a University political analyst.
