Any guy who Rachel Maddow considers her mentor is a friend of mine. He was the driving force in Rachel getting her own show. How can anyone dislike this guy?

@Emily Brilliant: How? I'll assume you're serious in asking that question, so tell you how I can. Very easily. People generally don't like d&^ckheads, that's how.

From the Glass Houses file, there was Olbermann last night previewing possible Obama administration choices, including RFK Jr. at EPA -- except someone put up a picture of his assassinated father instead. Amazingly, it's still on the msnbc site [www.msnbc.msn.com] ; about 1:20 into the segment.

Campbell Brown's a mediocre newsperson who somehow got her own show, is getting way too much credit these days and needed to be taken down a peg.

My biggest pet peeve about her is that she's one of these "moral equivalency" morons. If she ever had to do a show on OJ Simpson, she'd be like "yeah, well, he may be a murderer and a thief, but on the other hand Nicole HAD IMPLANTS. And the Brown family? Don't even get me started!"

@badasscat: I used to like her as far as middling pretty faces who read teleprompters without issue go. Once I found out who her husband was, I started wondering about her bias. Sure, there's Matalin and Carville and Mitchell and Greenspan...but it unfortunately left a bitter taste in my mouth.

I recall her as talking about Dems, not Dems and Reps, which is why she said Carter but, of course, she was still wrong and it's a pretty stupid mistake for a political journalist. I say, off with her head.

I used to watch Keith, but his rants made me tired, so now I just wait until 9 and watch the delightful Rachel Maddow. Intelligence without the (fake) insanity.

I don't know Olbermann. Anyone who can trounce Tucker Bounds stays a friend to me. I love your rants and operatic knells of self-righteous indignation, but leave Campbell alone. She stays in her lane for the most part and doesn't really interfere with the Matthews/Olbermann/Maddow hydra too much. Cut the preggo lady some slack. She was also pretty charming on the Daily Show when she let a shit-bird fly, mostly in the general direction of said Tucker Bounds. Called him an idiot she did. Damn! I hate that guy.

God, that whole "First time since 1952 there hasn't been a Bush or Dole serving" thing is such a desperate manufactured statistic to hype up nothing .. way to reach for connectors when trying to come up with some interesting stat, guys! It's like saying "This will be the first time a Clinton or Bush will not be president or vice president since 1980" Oook

Rachel Maddow pretty much cut off Olbermann's baby dick and stuck it on a stick and marched around the MSNBC studios with it after flouncing him in the ratings.

god i love her. i am getting a male to female sex change just in the off chance it would be enough for rachel to love me

i have a weekend home in the berkshires near hers and see her with her girlfriend (and her dog) all the time

in fact my dogs once chased after hers when we jogged past rachel and i had to stop to apologize and rachel was so gracious and kind
