Heads up Everyone..Kellyanne Conway is scheduled on Rachel..

Tonight...This should be very interesting.. For many of us around here,
Rachel has lost a lot of her Mojo. I certainly feel that way.....for several reasons..

So heres your chance Rachel... Show us what you got.. and don’t let this Gish Gallop Asshole
talk over you... Confront her at her at first fucking lie (and they’ll be many of them) and don’t let her continue to the next one until you are satisfied that you got your points out.

And please don’t play the “ you are so nice to be here so I’m just gonna sit here , smile and laugh with you"..stuff

Go Get her... I think this interview will be perhaps one of the most important interviews you have done..So Please do not hold back.. If you do right and kick the crap out of her..It ill make us proud..

By the way for those who don’t know her Conway is the newly adorned Campaign Manager for Trump.
And is simply a non stop attack dog, ...She is smart and nasty..

Here’s a review of what Kellyanne is very good at..

PS I’ll be home late.. So I’ll tape it..but if you get a chance in the interview please send me a few comments..

Otherwise NOT.

Rachel will just let her blather on with her lies and make no attempt to stop her.

This is not the same Rachel we use to love..
Loves her job and salary.. Probably does not want to venture into the job market..

schoolgirl, laughing and chuckling at crap that only she finds even remotely funny. Highly irritating, knowing how good she was way back when.

She wanted Kellyanne on her show, begged her. I really feel Rachel will not be hard on her, I'll wait for DU'ers to report.

She's too nice to people - normally a great thing, but it's terrible for interviewing right wing nut jobs. She lets them get away with way too much.

her research has gotten sloppy. Example: when discussing Trump's doctor, she referenced that he is no longer a Fellow in the American College of Gastroenterology because he didn't pay his dues. WRONG! He isn't a Fellow because he either failed or failed to take his Board Certification exam. That is a very big difference. That kind of sloppiness in reporting is a sign of laziness.

that some of her best friends work at Fox News...she's said that more than a few times. I think she said Greta Van Susteren was one such friend...the woman who recently defended Roger Ailes.

Is sad to hear Rachel say she's a friend!! Especially after her defense of that pig Ailes.

Just for full disclosure, I've missed Keith much and don't watch her hardly at all since he left the air.

If it's the first 20 minutes, Rachel will do her usual 17-minute set-up piece on what should be a 30-second intro, then go to commercial which will leave one minute for Conway's bullshit after they come back from commercial.

But at least Sir Guy Grand had a sense of humor, a Badfinger soundtrack, and Raquel Welch working for him. We don't get anything cool like that now. Just Trump and Play-Doh.

On the other hand, sometimes listening to a Kellyanne Conway and this entirely "different perspective" on the world can be astounding and mesmerizing! Jaw-dropping!

How Rachel - dare I say performs tonight - will give me an idea where MSNBC is heading.

A good Rachel, and I might come back.

A bad Rachel, and MSNBC is done for me.

This is looking more and more like MSNBC is complicit in some kind of "Trump makeover."

Kellyanne was on her best behavior, too.

No, this was not good at all.

sounds like she's pining for a job on the network

pretty embarrassing performance tonight

Joy, are you scratch scratching on the bench, waiting for a chance for more exposure? tweety will do all he can to keep you on the second string

you've outshined him at every opportunity, making him look quite uncomfortable during those exchanges when he tried to steamroll you

can't wait for the memoir of this period in your career
