Steve Kornacki

He is totally hot and he really is a reporter. He did lots of print journalism before coming to MSNBC. I'd fuck him, stuck in traffic, on the George Washington Bridge.

[quote]I have a huge crush on him.

Wait a minute, wait a fuckin' minute, don't you have to be at least 13 years old to post here???

I know you're not that old because no one over ten years of age has a "crush" on someone.

It surprises me how he was still a closet case until recently.

What, R3? He's gay????

My dreams have come true.

Why have I never heard this before?

Link, please.

He's afraid to fly.

Do you live under a rock? Of course he is gay.

He looks under the bed and in the closet at night for monsters before he goes to bed. He has said so on TV.

I like him too. He's incredibly smart.

As a reporter, he doesn't challenge his interviewees. Not enough oomph or gumption there.

So adorkable!

He was profiled in Out last year.

Unfortunately, he's since lost his weekend show on MSNBC and his star is descending.

Boyfriend?

Wow, the boyfriend's cute.

Steve's gotten better looking over the years.

Descending star on least-watched news channel.

Steve looks a lot like director Cary Fukunaga

He's a poor mans John King. But definitely nerdy hot. Probably hung like a Clydesdale

I thought John King was the poor man's John King.

Steve is Polish, so it's almost certain that he's hung.

[quote] Steve is Polish, so it's almost certain that he's hung

And, hopefully, uncut

slightly above average white guy.

He needs to go clothes shopping. Kornacki has been wearing the same shirt-tie combo everyday he's been on-air, for awhile now. Is he afraid of having a change of clothes?

I wonder what type of guys Steve likes. He's nerdy but very masculine. And besides politics, he mentioned that he's into sports. He's the kind of white dude that the homobros/men of color would love to snag.

Wildly crushworthy, regardless of anyone's race or skin color.

I used to have the biggest crush on him!

During a weather emergency a while back, Steve wore the same sweater for 5 straight days. He has a phobia against suit-jackets, too.

MSNBC need to pay these people enough to have hire personnel shoppers. Steve sleeps at his desk, he has no time to shop himself.

He definitely could use a wardrobe makeover! He's adorable, but seriously, the glasses, the hair, the duds....all need to be changed.

Kornacki could go shopping with Craig Melvin or J. Capehart to get his wardrobe in order. He needs a clothing intervention, STAT!

[quote] Steve sleeps at his desk, he has no time to shop himself.

It's not like he works in Podunk

Their studios are in Rockefeller Center in midtown Manhattan. Saks is a block over, on Fifth. If he can't afford Saks, he could take the Sixth Ave subway to 63rd and Lex and be at Bloomingdale's in 10 minutes

I like Steve tremendously. But I think Josh Barro is more my type.

Hard to say, R19. He may be of Polish extraction, but he's American.

cute gay nerdish looks older than 36 has a bf

came out I believe last year or so

He is extremely likable. I get the attraction.

[quote] He looks under the bed and in the closet at night for monsters before he goes to bed. He has said so on TV.

Haha that's funny. He looks like he could be neurotic.

I also think that he needs to comb his hair. It's always messy!

Is it only me or does anyone else think when he and Rachel chat on the air, "Wow, two gay people on television, not talking about gay things!"

I feel the same way, R35.

Although it's not so much about not talking about "gay things," as it is that they are just doing their jobs with the focus not on their sexuality, but on reporting - regardless of who they sleep with.

Chris Hayes, work in progress

Did I miss anyone?

Is anyone NOT gay on MSNBC.

Lol, Chris Hayes is straight. He just throws off peoples' gaydar because he's a total nerd and super gay friendly. But he's straight.

AVENUE Helps Tell Steve Kornacki What to Wear

Lol r39! I like his style (or lack thereof) though. Low maintenance. Passionate dork.

Love him and sorry he's not doing the early morning Sat. show on MSNBC, but as someone said on an earlier Kornacki thread (yes, we've discussed him before) he needs to fire his blind barber.

His clothes are fine the way they are. Those "suggestions" scream F-A-G.

He's funny, from NJ I think. He really went after Chris Christy during bridgate scandle. He is not the typical New York City Queens. I remember once they were teasing him on the air because he had just discovered couscous after working in NY. Uppity New Yorkers attitudes.

"Sittin' on my jibbo, toyin' with my cous cous"

[quote]He's funny, from NJ I think.

He is from Massachusetts, but worked in NJ for a long time, his boss was the guy who actually ordered the traffic problems on the GW Bridge. David Wildstein

R38, I know that Chris Hates has a wife and two kids, but I think he's just a late Gay bloomer.

From Wikipedia Steve Kornacki

Stephan Joseph Kornacki was born in Groton, Massachusetts. Kornacki started his journalism career as a reporter for PoliticsNJ.com,a New Jersey political news site owned by David Wildstein, where he worked from 2002 to 2006. During this time he was pen pals with Chris Christie, among others.

Chris is just so queer-acting, queer-appearing that it's impossible for some queens to accept the fact that he's a het. I believe Designing Women did an episode on this starring Charles Frank?

The coming out story I never thought I’d write

I was an all-American kid who idealized the family men I grew up around. At 32, I can finally admit I'm different

Steve Kornacki

R48, please don't take it personally. Unless you're Chris Hayes, then by all means, have at it.

That's a good read at R49. I like to hear coming out experiences.

Chris Hayes is not gay. However, there was one time where they dressed him up with a striped shirt and a jacket to make him look a little less conservative. He looked like a little Rachel Maddow. Even she commented and said "you look adorable" his response was sacristy "yes, because that's what I was going for".

R52 = Chris Hayes

Ben Smith is not gay, R37. He's married to a woman and has two kids.

[quote]Is anyone NOT gay on MSNBC.

You know who [italic]should[/italic] be gay?

Sam Stein.

I think they should all be Gay, R55.

[quote] Unfortunately, he's since lost his weekend show on MSNBC and his star is descending.

Quite the opposite. He was named a full-time political correspondent for MSNBC and is now getting more airtime than ever (instead of being stuck on weekend mornings). Also, he hosts the Monday edition of Meet the Press Daily. His star is rising.

I agree R55. Sam Stein is a real cutie. He unfortunately, is very straight.

Another MSNBC'er who I think might be gay is Jeremy Peters. He occasionally shows up on "Morning Joe."

Bump for dorks.

Jeremy Peters sounds more like wishful thinking because he's so good-looking.

I don't know about that R60. There was gossip on here a while back, that hinted about Jeremy possibly being gay. Or an asshole. Or both. I don't remember.

Steve has great fashion sense.

Jeremy Peters' bio don't mention a personal life. He was nominated for Hottest Gay Journalist in New York. Then there is the below, which settles it, I think. Yay, I have a new crush.

JEREMY W. PETERS, on the cover of N.Y. Times “Sunday Styles” section, “The Gayest Place in America?”: “My earliest sense of what it meant to be gay in the nation’s capital came more than a decade ago when I was a summer intern. I was a few blocks from Union Station when a congressman walked by and gave the reporters I was standing with a big, floppy wave hello. ‘You know what they say about him,’ said one of them, the inflection of his voice rising to a squeak so there could be no mistaking what he meant. I didn’t know, in fact. I wasn’t even sure what the congressman’s name was. But the message was as clear as it was unsettling for a 20-year-old struggling with his own sexual identity: There were plenty of gay people in Washington, even at the highest levels of government. But instead of being widely accepted, they were usually whispered about derisively, suspect characters to be mocked and maligned.

Jeremy Peters is indeed gay; his partner is a dermatologist.

Here's a recent thread on him:

R29, Josh Barro is hot!

Steve Kornacki desperately needs a stylist.

You know, it's not as though Steve doesn't have a mind of his own. Maybe he wants to look the way he does? I like dorks and nerds, although he really does push the envelope on that a lot, but I'll take it any day over a damned clone! My biggest problem with Steve is that he doesn't really impart much that's new, he just repeats stuff that your average political junkie knows already.

R34 lol true always I call it disheveled neat...Chris Hayes is straight ...see him with his wife all the time in Williamsburg! Also, had a baby last year

He leans Republican. I'll pass.

[quote]He leans Republican. I'll pass.

Steve is working for the wrong network then.

He's flat out cheerleading for the GOP. HRC and BS not so much. Watch him closely. He's more enthusiastic about the right's dogfight. The Democrats are a mere second thought.

Yes Josh Barro is definitely hotter than Kornacki

Barro is a self-described "neo-liberal" and Republican. That tarnishes any supposed hotness he possesses.

Steve is smarter than he looks. His teeth are bleached, as they should be. And may have been straightened, I ever see him make a presentation error (aside from stumbling over a word or two), but he's always looking in the right camera, prepared, alert while the cameras on, etc.

I'm hot for Chris Hayes but I wish someone whould tell him to bleach his teeth. Also, his teeth need to be straightened. I thing a year of invisaline would work perfectly. He could even take them out for an hour a day while on camera. Chris, are you paying attention here?

Barro is still a baby. He'll lose that Republican label like a vestige appendix in a few years if he hasn't already.

[quote]Hard to say, [R19]. He may be of Polish extraction, but he's American.

Matt Czuchry is about the same age as Kornacki, also a New Englander, and we have a DLer who's hooked up with him and says he's uncut.

Although Czuchry is of Ukrainian descent

Jeremy Peters has a swan-like neck.

Uncircumcision became cool among some American hippie parents once again in the late '60s because of its naturalness. This could extend to those who continued having babies into the '70s.

Over 90% of Polish are Catholic. Catholics believe in the chop. They particularly did in the '70s, when the world was blessed with Steve Kornacki.

Barro won't be a Republican for long. His fiancee (the ultimate Pocket Gay) plans on running for head of the DNC. Having a GOP husband would be VERY uncomfortable for him.

Jeremy Peters looks like a crane and has hard on for Rubio. He is so in love with him it's painful to watch. Every other sentence Marco this, Marco that. I wonder if he knows about his boyfriend's past? Men's restrooms and stripping and such?

Wow, I had no idea Matt Czuchry is gay.

I googled him, and after seeing a few of his photos.... oh yeah, he's definitely gay.

Also, 38 years old and no mention of a gf or wife.

I learn so much from Datalounge!

Steve is cute with his clothes on, he doesn't look like a gym guy so he may not be that "cute" naked.

To be fair R83, what percentage of the adult male population actually looks "cute" naked?

I'm guessing maybe 10%. The other 90% are all dad bods or worse.

He should be on FOX Gay leaning or is Republican? WTF!?

Another shot with the possible boyfriend.

R68 who leans Republican? Chris Hayes? From what I can tell, he leans very liberal. Most of the issues he focuses on are liberal, and he is usually ripping into Republican BS. Do you have a link that says otherwise?

Steve is on MSNBC right now, and his hair is a mess!

Why doesn't anyone tell him??

He was sitting on a stool today with his legs spread and showed a nice bulge in his tight pants.

Steve is definitely chubby. And he's young. He'll be rich, but a fattie in middle age.

She's no dummy. He knows never to break eye contact with the camera as it comes from or goes to commercial break. He knows how to stare blankly at the camera for an extended period if need be, when others get weirded-out trying to do so. He's got whitened teeth. Nice glasses. Very professional.

He is uncomfortable wearing a suit, which is why he wears a sweater so often. And he loves his jeans. He's got to try to get used to dress slacks.

Oh, no. I didn't mean to write "She" in R91.

I think it is homophobic to call men "She". This was just a typo.

Sorry, Steve! ❤️

R87 What is the name of this thread again?

Maybe you to take a break from the keyboard. Hayes was NEVER mentioned.

Josh Barro used to be fat. And he's on the road to being there again if he keeps flirting with sobriety.

Functioning alcoholic who subsists on a diet of beer and alcohol.

I am in love with Steve Kornacki. One thing I have noticed lately is that he has "resting bitch face" Whenever he is being introduced for a segment he looks royally pissed off but once he starts speaking he has the sweetest, adorkable personality.

Chris Hayes doesn't look like a gay man...he looks like a lesbian.

I was at a party with Josh not that long ago and, while he's a pompous asshole, he's super cute with a giant ass.

Steve looks like he might have a nice anus, but no-one has a nicer anus than my Ari!

He has a 79% chance of his odds being 1.5 to 1.

Josh Barro is getting fat again. Former fatties (and he wasn't just fat, he was obese) always get fat again.

At least in his road to getting fatter, Josh is working on the ass first (too bad his stomach and chin are next). As for Steve, he's so desperate to be straight I doubt his hygiene (down there) is all that good.

Steve is just an über nerd. Sex is low on his agenda. .

He reads as completely sexless. Guaranteed he is terrible in bed.

. . .

Did anyone ever see Steve's feets? Don't even know what brand shoes he wears.

How do you know, R95?

I love guys like this... normal looking, not fab within an inch of their life.

I would love to start a website... normal looking guys and how we met because I always wonder.

[quote]Chris Hayes doesn't look like a gay man...he looks like a lesbian.

I've mentioned this before but Chris Hayes was on Bill Maher's show one night with his hair looking like he had just rolled out of bed and wearing a black pullover shirt with the buttons unfastened (you could see just a teeny bit of his chest -- got the impression he's totally smooth). Anyway, my point is he looked really, really HOT. I remember thinking maybe if he could present himself that way on his show every night (casual, more relaxed), maybe he'd have better ratings.

I think it would be interesting if MSNBC paired Josh and Steve on a show talking about politics and anything that directly affects the LGBT community given that they're both openly-gay men.

Chris Hayes is the one you marry. Ari Melber is the one you cheat on him with. Steve Kornacki is the one you talk about it with over cosmos.

Chris Hayes has a hairy chest, 109.

He always looks disheveled, which is part of his appeal.

I disagree. Ari is the one you marry. Chris is the ex you always find yourself fucking whenever he's in town. Steve is the one you talk about it with over mimosas.

I know this may sound silly but I get the impression, based on their "handovers" every night between shows, that Chris Hayes and Rachel Maddow are genuinely friends whereas her interaction with Lawrence O'Donnell always seems more forced, like he's trying to be yuk-yuk it up with her but all she really wants is for him to just say "Thanks, Rachel" and let her go already.

I can't believe that you wouldn't want to fuck Steve Kornacki, R113! He's totally fuckable!

[quote] Ari is the one you marry. Chris is the ex you always find yourself fucking whenever he's in town. Steve is the one you talk about it with over mimosas.

Now, this deserves a poll - where is troll post when you need him?

Steve is the one you marry. Ari is the ex you always find yourself hooking up with. Chris is the one you talk to over mimosas.

Steve is the one you fuck on Mondays.

Chris is the one you fuck on Wednesdays.

Ari is the one you fuck on both Friday night and Saturday night.

Sunday you rest.

[quote] get the impression, based on their "handovers" every night between shows, that Chris Hayes and Rachel Maddow are genuinely friends whereas her interaction with Lawrence O'Donnell always seems more forced,

For the longest time, there was no interaction between Rachel and Lawrence. It's only recently that they've begun interacting. Yes, Rachel and Chris are good friends. I wish they'd drop the "handovers" altogether. They're basically a lovefest: "Excellent show, Chris." "Thanks, Rachel, you're the best." "No, Chris, you're the best."

More gossip about Steve's alcoholism, please.

I don't think that the poster was saying Steve was an alkie. I think they were referring to Josh Barro, if I'm not mistaken.

Steve is way too level-headed to be an alcoholic.

[quote] I think it would be interesting if MSNBC paired Josh and Steve on a show talking about politics and anything that directly affects the LGBT community given that they're both openly-gay men.

Steve Kornacki is a lot like Nate Silver in that he's openly gay but he doesn't discuss gay topics too much. Culturally, he has more in common with straight guys than gay men. He probably doesn't see himself as some crusader for the gay community, but just a policy wonk who happens to like dick.

Chris Hayes likes to fuss with his hair. It's a little different every night.

How do you know Hayes has a hairy chest, r112?

Have you seen it?

Josh & his chest hair

Josh and Chris, go to your own threads, where people care. This is Steve's thread.

Does Kawnacky have hairy chest, OP?

I think Steve is hot, too, but I don't see any bulge at all. Not that it matters . . .

Do you think he has a rosebud or a coin slot?

[quote] . He probably doesn't see himself as some crusader for the gay community, but just a policy wonk who happens to like dick.

MSNBC should use that line in its promotional materials: "Steve Kornacki ... A policy wonk who happens to like dick ... Only on MSNBC."

Thomas Roberts ... A vapid intellectual lightweight who happens to like dick ... Only on MSNBC

Rachel Maddow ... A political scholar who definitely doesn't like dick ... Only on MSNBC

He went to community college in Oklahoma, OP.

Don't get your hopes up.

[quote]I think Steve is hot, too, but I don't see any bulge at all.

I don't think he's bulge material.

Dick speculations re Kornacki?

I say smallish but eager.

He's no Jeremy Diamond.

That kind of bugs me about him, r121. He doesn't have to be a crusader by any means, but he seems oddly disconnected from any news stories related to the LGBT community (granted, he's a journalist and must remain impartial, but even when he was on the opinion oriented 'The Cycle', he never had much to say on the subject). At least Rachel will acknowledge that she has an inherent bias on LGBT matters in that they directly impact her own life.

DL FAVES:

[quote] That kind of bugs me about him, [R121]. He doesn't have to be a crusader by any means, but he seems oddly disconnected from any news stories related to the LGBT community

I think he always has been a little disconnected from the LGBT community. In the article he wrote about coming out, he described how he never really related to gay culture and was always into sports, etc. I think that's why it took him so long to come out. I don't think he wants to be like Rachel Maddow and I don't think he wants to be known as a "gay journalist" (even though he is, of course, a gay journalist).

I don't find that Rachel specifically brings up gay stuff a lot directly, aside from not feeling the Clintons had her back in the 1990s. It's more that she alludes to gay stuff, such as the polls in South Carolina in favor of restricting gay immigrants.

Has Ronan Farrow's hole been passed around MSNBC?

[quote]I don't think he wants to be like Rachel Maddow and I don't think he wants to be known as a "gay journalist" (

In what world is Rachel Maddow known as the "gay journalist"? She is one of the most prominent voices in progressive American politics, who happens to be a lesbian.

[quote] In what world is Rachel Maddow known as the "gay journalist"?

I said he doesn't want to be like Rachel Maddow AND he doesn't want to be known as a gay journalist. Those were two separate ideas.

[quote] She is one of the most prominent voices in progressive American politics

Correct. And I don't get the sense that's what Steve aspires to be.

Ari Melber is hotter than anyone else on this thread? Straight? Married?

Ari Melber is married to a writer named Drew Grant.

Who is a woman, unfortunately.

Ari is much too hot to be doomed to a life of boring sex with a female.

Life is just so unfair sometimes.

Teen Ari:

R145 totally my type

Ari is a pocket guy.

R136 Ugh he's been tainted by being in proximity to Andy Cohen.

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned Nick Confessore. He's really adorable, and he appears on Morning Joe quite a bit.

Jacob Soboroff is another MSNBC hottie.

Jacob Soboroff has his own thread.

The other day Steve Kornacki was on a segment hosted by Rachel Maddow and Brian Williams, and Steve was wearing jeans and shirt with no tie. Rachel and Brian started blowing him shit about wearing jeans and no tie on air. Steve explained that he was just about to change and a "higher up" told him he looked just fine the way he was, and not to worry about changing. Brian Williams said, can't wait to go to break so we can find out just who this "higher up" is. Steve is on right now hosting Meet the Press Daily wearing a UNLV sweater. Some "higher up" must like him with the casual look.

Kornacki is in Las Vegas and has a horrible fear of flying which he better get over fast if he plans on having a future in broadcast news.

[quote] has a horrible fear of flying

Oh dear. I'm sorry that's not cute, that's pathetic. Is he a functioning adult or not?

I saw that r152 and that pussy Brian Williams made it sound all jokey and Rachel just giggled along. Fast forward to a few days later and Brian Williams makes a comment commending Steve for finally wear slacks (some sort of Dockers type thing) All I could think was, who the hell does that sack of shit Brian Williams think he is? That fucker comes in and acts as if he is bringing some sort of air to MSNBC and really he is just the same loser he always has been. Wear what you want Steve, you have the goods!

R154, Steve looks under his bed and in his closet before he goes to sleep at night. I assume for monsters, but maybe just intruders. I would love to see the list of phobias Steve has, I bet it's a page-long!

R155, I also saw Brian give Steve a hard time. But Steve's on-air co-workers on the Cycle also gave him a hard time about the jeans and lack of a suit jacket. He hates formal wear. It might also be a phobia. He's an adult, he should age-into adult clothes.

R154, and I'm not kidding.

He needs some cool chunky glasses. he would look nerd hot!!

[quote] Some "higher up" must like him with the casual look.

Some higher up must be fucking him, and that's why he gets away with it.

[quote] Steve looks under his bed and in his closet before he goes to sleep at night. I assume for monsters, but maybe just intruders. I would love to see the list of phobias Steve has, I bet it's a page-long!

He kind of sounds like a neurotic head case. What a catch!

I live alone. I recall once waking from a rare, very scary dream. I had to turn a light on low, in the bedroom. I was too scared to go to sleep in the dark. That doesn't happen more than every few years, if that, but it is funny because it's weird and rare.

Steve seems like he's on the spectrum — a total mess.

- Didn't come out until 30 and claimed he didn't realize he was gay until shortly before

- Paralyzing fear of flying

- Goes on and on about how he's a beer-swilling, sports-loving gaybro

- Cannot put on a damn suit jacket and insists on going on air looking like the contents of the dryer

- Believes he has monsters under his bed. As 35-year-old men do

Good luck to anyone who wants to take on this gem!

He sounds wonderful to me, R162. Except for the sports.

I can't believe people would reject someone because he's afraid of flying.

Don't forget his love of numbers and stats, 162. He's like "Rain Man."

R162, but, but...monsters!

That's right, R164. He IS Rain Man!

[quote]I can't believe people would reject someone because he's afraid of flying.

You must not travel a lot. Some people have to professionally and also do so socially. Someone who is afraid to get on a plane is a real annoyance.

If someone is that afraid to get on a plane, R167, you narcissistic anal swab, it's hard to see how they bother you. Presumably they're not in airports while you're busy with your oh, so important life, traveling professionally or also doing so socially.

You aren't very bright are you r168. The post was "I can't believe someone would reject" him over flying, and I was explaining that yes, some people would need a partner who isn't afraid to get on a plane.

You make your partner travel professionally, do you, R169?

Oh, and to answer your question, I'm smarter than you are self-important.

I'll bet you're lots of fun at the gym, R169.

I flew with someone who was afraid of flying. She had a fit at one point on the plane that scared me and the passenger next to us. This was years ago. I thought she was putting on a show. More recently, she said "oh, yeah, I got over that." In this day and age, she might have caused the plane to make an emergency landing. I don't know why I didn't dump her years earlier, she was full of made-up drama like this.

[quote]Kornacki is in Las Vegas and has a horrible fear of flying

To clear things up, I said that Kornacki has a horrible fear of flying, not that he won't do it when he has to. Plenty of people have a fear of flying, most of Kornacki's travel is in the Northeast corridor from Boston to New York to Washington. He takes the train when he can but he does fly when needed and has stated on air that he is very uncomfortable flying, not that it turns him into a basket case.

Steve is really moving up the ranks on MSNBC.

He has been anchoring the network's "the place for politics" coverage ever since the Iowa caucuses, and he is the lead in for Thomas Roberts.

I absolutely love that gay people are front and center on MSNBC. Maddow, Roberts, and now Kornacki. Good for them.

I wish that Steve was a little bit more proud of being gay, but hey... we are a diverse community.

We've definitely come a long way.

I am glad there is a thread about Kornacki. I loved him on UP after Chris was uploaded to the 8 pm slot. He's really come into his own hosting after a rather stilted period of adjustment. Now that he has moved on up Up is hosted by Richard Lui and it's not the same and they have given the heinous Sharpton an hour of the Sunday time.

Steve's wearing his UNLV sweatshirt for the SECOND day in a row.

Good lord, man, I know you didn't wash that nasty thing. Does he even realize that he's on television, where millions of people see him every day and actually NOTICE that he's wearing the same thing two days in a row???

Maybe he has more than one, R176. When I really like an article of clothing, I often buy more of it.

He's OCD R177, so I'm guessing that it's just his "favorite sweater" and he wants to keep wearing it.

[quote] Now that he has moved on up Up is hosted by Richard Lui

I think Richard Lui is very handsome.

Gay?

How tall are these guys? Ari seems more on the shorter side. Not sure about Steve, though my guess would be 5'10 or so. Isn't Chris Hayes over 6 feet? That's what I've heard.

Steve is 6'1". I know too much about this guy, but not a real fan of his.

By the way, there's another super-hot MSNBC reporter who doesn't seem to get very much airtime but he's definitely on my radar: Tony Dokoupil. Hot. to. death.

Tony was covering the New Hampshire Primary for MSNBC and he really is super hot.

I like him.

I miss Kornacki's game show that he had during his Saturday morning show, it was so corny. Hated it at first but really warmed up to it after a while. Wonder what happened to that ugly jacket he wore.

To the HEADGUY of datalounge, I mention Steve Kornacki on "Political talk show post". I thought he was HOTT and I wanted to Fuck Him,I found him "totally fuckable". And now the "powers that be"on data lounge bring back the Steve Kornacki thread!!] Do I get paid for this?

R186: No!

I have a feeling that Steve does not wipe properly.

r185, he'll probably wear it to his wedding to another gaybro. Can't look too stylish, people might think he's gay.

Omg 185.

a) wtf was that "game show" he hosted???

and

b) that jacket is ridiculous. the poor guy really has no taste, nor does he have any desire to acquire any.

thomas roberts should be his inspiration.

To R187, Okay then, just to let you know that my"white-trash Central Florida-Lower class Philly background" would normally be beating the shit outta you right now. However, I live in San Diego county now(and raised 5 wonderful children) and I have to pretend I have class while dealing with all the wealthy people(financial advisor-I work for the Hedge fund). You don't have to pay me right away. Love DataLounge-vampyre927-If I sleep with anyone famous again, I'll let you know. When I'm in Hollyweird, I stay at the Chateau Marmont(and have a car-driver, I will not drive in LA,its insane)

I do wonder what Steve is like behind closed doors when he's relaxed and just being his true self -- i.e., does the gay in him really start to come out? I don't mean does he start singing show tunes or reciting lines from the Golden Girls, just if it becomes more obvious in the way he talks, any hand gestures, etc. This is not to suggest that all gay guys act the same, of course, just saying that sometimes there can be distinguishing characteristics that make it easy to know someone is gay. I just wonder if such characteristics ever come out of him and, if so, when.

[quote]Steve is on right now hosting Meet the Press Daily wearing a UNLV sweater.

As you watch him in different cities this political season, you'll see that he always buys a sweater/fleece/jacket from the local university.

Last week it was the University of South Carolina Gamecocks.

Is that the "gaybro" thing to do?

I get the feeling Brian Williams resents Kornacki a lot. I loathe Brian Williams and am disgusted they drag him in for election nights, where he proves himself he dumb jock.

Steve said he collects those jackets.

He's too young to remember first-run Golden Girls and probably finds them as interesting as the Ziegfeld Girls of 1934.

Yeah, r182, Tony Dokoupil is very hot, and he's got a serious case of BDF.

BTW, someone up-thread said Kornacki must be hung because he's of Polish extraction. The only rwo Poles I've been to bed with have been the opposite of hung. But Kornacki is still eminently fuckable.

KORNACKI IS DEAD TO M I TELL YOU! DEAD!!!

After the horrible stunt he pulled today, any hotness he had went right out the window.

He was EXTREMELY RUDE to Joaquin Castro. He asked the congressman a question about HRC and those transcripts that NO ONE cares about. He then interrupted Castro and got VERY testy and combative. Joaquin NEVER got a word in edgewise.

He seemed very angry at an answer THAT WAS NEVER GIVEN!

He's SO far up that old fart's ass, he will NEVER see daylight again!

Steve is headed for a fall. He seems to be flailing, and the management in a we-don't-know-what-to-do-with-you situation.

Link, R198?

That sounds very disappointing. Maybe the rumors that he's a Republican might just be true.

Strange, because Steve is a reporter, not a commentator. He's usually boringly neutral.

Note to R196: I'm younger than Steve (35) and I definitely remember first run episodes of The Golden Girls! It came on Saturdays at 7:00 PM CST. Episodes I distinctly remember: The girls doing a production of Chicken Little...the revelation that Miles was in the witness protection program...Blanche's fat daughter...Rose having a stroke...Dorothy's mystery illness...

R202, are the GGs more interesting to you than the Ziegfeld Girls?

I seriously doubt that he's a Republican. If anything, he's probably more moderate then left wing as a Democrat.

I never visually undressed Kornacki and never wondered about his sexual orientation. Now Ezra Klein.....

Steve must be a bottom. He is so passive and seemingly needy. He must be a wonderful cocksucker. He has the prefect lips for that sort of thing.

Kornacki on the Peter Meter: 0

Soboroff on the Peter Meter: 10

Dokoupil on the Peter Meter: 30

All poles?

I think Steve is sexy as fuck.

R205 For some reason I also find Ezra Klein hot. And he's not my type at all. The lisp is so cute.

He reminds me of a nerdy little Jewish boy at summer camp many years ago. Huge penis. Human tripod. Wonder of Ezra is similarly blessed

R185 Do you remember the episode of Up where lesbo Sally Kohn was a panelist and purposely answered all the questions wrong in his little game show? I though Steve was going to have a hissy fit and throw her off the show. That may have been her last appearance on MSNBC (she's at CNN now). I take Steve's side on this one, you don't go on as a guest and deliberately fuck up the format.

New MSNBC hottie alert!

Jacob Rascon. First time I've seen him on air, but he made his debut (at least for me) this morning.

Another Jacob Rascon...

Jacob. Last one!

Cal Perry's another MSNBC newbie.

R210 - Capehart? OK ... I have a crush on John Heileman, so shouldn't be throwing stones I guess.

Yeah, R216. For some reason, I'm convinced that underneath that prim, well-dressed exterior lies a sex pig with a beer-can sized cock

Jacob Rascon is HOT .... but he's Mormon so what's the use :/

Thanks, R215, for that truly revealing pic of Cal Perry.

R217: As a former DCer I'm quite familiar with Jonathan Capehart. While he's cute in the face, the guy is SHORT...almost midget proportions.

Not that I'm against either one, but Capehart and Perry are both Keeblers!

I'd have to look in one of my kitchen counter drawers to find them.

Both SO cute but VERY tiny. Think Hutcherson/Prince tiny.

Steve Kornacki is hot as fuck. He should never be without a bevy of hard dripping dicks to entertain him and his wonderful body.

Lol r221 Today they had Cal Perry walking around in a school gymnasium where a caucus was going on and , my god, his appearance is shocking, He is all head. I would have to say it was bizarre, his big ol' adult head was on this little kid body. His legs were almost literally toothpicks and his shoulders no wider than a wire coat hanger. It looks like he has a form a dwarfism and I am not trying to be snarky.

I think it's refreshing that NBC complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act and hires people suffering from dwarfism and the functionally retarded children of celebrities/politicians.

Cal Perry is rather petite.

Jonathan Capehart and Richard Wolfe are just about the same height.

Don't know how famous he was at the time but I do remember seeing Jonathan Capehart's profile on Match.com years ago. He seemed very nice.

I saw Richard Wolffe at CB2 on the Upper East Side one Sunday with what looked to be his kids. I didn't notice him being particularly short. Someone mentioned that he was gay, but his bio lists a female spouse.

Re: Wolffe

Just before I headed off for my first trip to England many years ago, a Swedish friend gave me this piece of advice: "You may become excited by the fact that so many men there seem to be gay. They're not, they're just English."

Nick Confessore is really handsome and has a great smile. I would definitely touch his no no and lick his starfish for 37 minutes

Ezra Klein is definitely hung. Was discussed on DL some years ago by a woman who had him.

Ari has a sweet little hairy body

My new-news crush: Polo Sandoval

So R231, I guess that means Ezra is straight? Damn it.

Here is Steve's baby picture.

MSNBC is the gay version of Fox News. Fox News has the slew of women with short skirts and MSNBC has the slew of gay men.

Goodness, Cal Perry must be four feet tall!

Oh, you broads love anyone that's on MSNBC. If they had hired Fred Phelps as a commentator you'd all be considering a change of heart about the Westboro Baptist Church.

I cannot believe that anyone at all still watches network or cable news programs.. MSNBC-home of the insightful and eloquent Al Sharpton. I don't know if I'm distressed or pleased that the Smart Set seems to be so goddamned stupid.

Steve looks like he might have constipation issues, making it tricky for him to bottom.

lol 239

you're terrible, muriel

Haha Steve Kornacki is on right now, and he was interviewing Andrea Mitchell about the life of Nancy Reagan.

Steve started to say, "you know I grew up in the 80's and remember her 'just say no' campaign..." and Andrea winced at that comment.

I think that Andrea Mitchell was in her 60's in the 1980's, no?

Time to retire, old gal.

I just found out that Steve Kornacki is a producer on the show "Bates Motel." Color me surprised!

We usually see talking heads on news shows, and often don't realize that they have other gigs. The fact that he's a producer on such a good show, makes me appreciate him more.

[quote] I just found out that Steve Kornacki is a producer on the show "Bates Motel." Color me surprised!

It's a different Steve Kornacki.

R241, that's an exaggeration but they do specialize in "baby" reporters on MSNBC so it's not far off at all. It is amazing how long your twilight years can last.

Steve was just introduced as "Monday host of MTP (Meet the Press Daily)". That's a promotion. These guys at MSNBC have no moss growing on them. Too bad that they keep wrecking things every time they make a change.

"The Lord helps those who help themselves".

Is that in the Bible? I suspect not. It's similar to another quote I like: "You make your own luck." That's for use when someone tells you that you're lucky, when something you worked your whole life for pans out.

Steve exposed the "Bridge Gate" scandal.

I'm guessing he has a teeny piece.

I think he has a big Polish sausage with low-hangers.

He has new eye glasses and looks DREAMIER than ever!

He's such a geek, love it!

He talks too fast for me.

I think he's got some fat on him. Ten years from now, he's going to be huge!

The new glasses are a slight Improvement, but nothing to get all excited about. I think he's supposed to be rather outdoorsy, sporty guy so I doubt he's going to get quite so fat so fast as people think.

Anyone got a picture of his backside? I'm wondering how nice his butt is : )

Steve is not fat at all. Not by normal human standards, at least.

And I agree that he seems to lead a pretty active life, so he'll be fine.

I do think he needs a bit of a tan. He kind of glows on tv.

Any photos of his Feets -- socked or bare?

Please, on what basis do people think he's active? He watches sports on TV, if that's what you call active.

I'm just attracted to him. He's a fast-talker but he's got a charming way about him.

I'd pay for photos of him in a jock strap.

R260, I bet he'd be blushing!

I'd rather see Thomas Roberts in a jockstrap. Or Ari Melber.

R262, those guys would not be blushing.

Definitely not. I bet I could get Roberts to ride a dildo wearing a jock in front of a camera!

Steve is a rarity. He's just a cool guy.

If he sold his underwear online, I'd buy several pieces. I want to sniff that young man.

I suspect he swallows, that's a hot image.

Sorry, no can do. He just had a GOP lovefest on MSNBC Friday night featuring that Toad Larry Kudlow and that obnoxious asswipe Luke Russert. I'll take a pass. Have at him. Just know that he will be whispering Paul Ayn Ryan's name in his sleep.

OK NOW I have to throw up.

How much do you think Steve makes? He dresses like he's in college - enough with the Khakis, cutie.

The more I watch Kornacki the less I like him and his caffeinated style of broadcasting. He is annoying as shit. Capeheart is always there for the least incisive commentary, he is like the Chris Evert of journalism. And please note short men, you should never wear a bow-tie. I do like that Josh guy, he is fucking hot.

He has questionable hygiene

R16, you gave me a laugh. (And also a hard-on.) I love nerds who are well hung and/or dominant sex partners.

Speaking of gay Steve, why does Rachel Maddow almost exclusively wear black jackets? She and Steve must be on a shoestring budget for clothes.

Rachel showed all her blazers on a rack in a behind-the-scenes package. The blazers were black or gray, no other colors. Steve needs to stop looking like his nickname is scooter, with his non-suit and tie wearing ass.

r274 8:20pm EST I think he read your post.

Anyone have a pic of Steve from behind?

r275, I saw him subbing on Chris Hayes on Friday night, I laughed out loud and said "Praise Jeebus." Steve's clothing choices drive me mad, he dresses like he's having a night out at the Rotary Club. Dude needs a stylist, ASAP.

Oh, Steve Kornacki!

Wouldn't he be entertaining perched on a rim chair!

R278 = Ari Melber

Steve is King of the Normcore Gays!

Any pics of Kornacki from behind?

Scooter Kornacki! I like it. It works for him.

Do we think he's a top?

I like steve too. For some reason I picture steve just jerking off with his partner. But a bottom for sure.

I miss Candy Crowley

I'd like to spank Kornacki .... he'd enjoy that, I think.

It is a little surprising that Salon would do a story like this considering Kornacki worked for Salon in 2010.

This is probably the most skin you can ever expect Kornacki to expose with cameras around.

Fat and getting fatter.

He's cute.

Those must be pre-approved "brah" shorts. No stylish sissy-wear for Scooter Kornacki.

He needs to get a style make-over. He is starting to resemble Jared from Subway. That is not a good thing.

Here's a video of Steve in beige kakis showing his hefty, wide and muscular backside. I find him annoyingly conscending but his butt is jerk-off material.

He's wide, but I don't think any of it is muscle.

@293 ... THANKS for that post. He's got a nice pooper!

Kornacki? Sounds like a foot disease.

R295 You're welcome ... 'Pooper' ? Way to remind everyone that poop comes out of this shapely plump booty.

I'm taking a tangent here. I'm physically attracted to Jeff Weaver ... I have daddy issues. Back to the initial subject of the conversation.

Tangent failed. So let's get back to Kornacki. I've seen zero bulge when they pan to the big board. WTF, I would have assumed he's got something to brag about but there's no proof and I' sad about that.

He's seriously awesome. There's some very lucky guy or guys out there.

I happened across this coming out story that Kornacki wrote. Obviously articulate but also incredibly relatable. He's hot.

Steve Kornacki... yes! If you go for brains over skin-deep transitory beauty, Steve is the man.

Steve is cheerleading for Trumpenstein. AGAIN! He so wants him to win, he can barely contain himself.

NOT A DEMOCRAT! PERIOD.

HRC up in double digits 10 or 11 points depending on the poll. Barely mentions her.

But Trump moved up a point! Take to celebrate! He's going out of his way to talk about overnight polling which doesn't count had him 7 points behind.

Why does this matter? Because AGAIN Stephan Kornacki, Jr. is NOT repeat not a Democrat. He's a Republican through and through. Hence the self loathing when he first came out. He was to be so straight and accepted by them, he's bending over backwards for that idiot.

Oh, nooooooooo!

r288, ....he's living in squalor!

Anyone else hear the rumor that Steve is a crossdresser?

(I'm NOT Eddie Murphy.)

Will Kornacki be getting his own show? Any news on a boyfriend? He's gotta uncut. Polish Catholic and from Boston.

Ugly glasses. Maybe he is crazy.

He totally spazzed out the night Ryan said he wasn't running for re-election, and went over the Big Map practically in an orgasmic frenzy, describing the districts in contention.
