Could you just imagine if Rachel took over for Mika in the Mornings.....

I would get up religiously every morning @ 4:00am MT to watch the daily slaughter.....my dream show. LOL!!!

I know it's just fantasy....but a girl can dream can't she.

from duty. One morning with Rachel and Joe would be armless, legless and ball-less. He would get his butt on a bar stool in Alabama before the hour was out. Joe missing in action. Win win.

Have you ever seen them go at it on Race For The Whitehouse? He's really rude to her.

This will happen the day after Malloy gets 600 affiliates like Limpballs.

“At some point, I don’t know when, she should have a show,” said Phil Griffin, hours before he was promoted on Wednesday to president of MSNBC. “She’s on the short list. It’s a very short list. She’s at the top.”

I don't see Rachel on this list.

Scuttlebutt I'd heard was that David Gregory goes over to Press the Meat full time after the election, and maybe Rachel gets that 6pm slot, but who knows. Probably wishful thinking.

Anyway, I do think they recognize a telegenic personality in Maddow; they know she can draw the demographic their advertisers want. Will they have the balls to actually give her a show? your cynicism may be well placed, but I'll go the "Half-glass full" route.

NOw I would actually get up early to watch that show. Has it is now I watch CNN until 10:00 then flip it to MSNBC after that asshat is off the air.

I have no idea what this thread is about.

DUers watch too much teevee.

I've heard the name but don't know anything about her.

I would be afraid for Rachel. Joe reminds me of a batterer.

it's like hannity agreeing to co host the show with someone with more balls than colmes... they'd never agree to it and since they are the stars of the show, the network is going to cave everytime...

It would be fun to watch and Pat Buchanan has more brains then Hannity (on rare occasions I find myself agreeing with him which is frightening) so it would actually be interesting to watch. Either that or put her with Joe Scarbo. Either way, they'd beat H&C in ratings in no time.

the ammunition for Morning Jerk's anti-Obama smears.

No, thanks. Rachel is a good match against Buchanan when she wants to be but I think she, Mike Malloy and others are being irresponsible on their talking shows when they demoralize voters against the nominee with their defeatest attitudes.

Think about this: the Repukes HATE John McCain. They can't stand him. But I don't hear Hannity or Limbaugh or any of those disgusting people bash him for not being the perfect conservative like we bash, trash and threaten not to vote for Obama because he's not the "liberal" that we want him to be.

It's counterproductive.

If she's too defeated to fight, then we sadly have no liberal stalwarts willing to stand up.
