3. You SHOULD be sorry.
Keith's not like the MSM at all. And he was incredible tonight. If you don't believe me, watch the midnight rerun of Countdown.

That is, if you can get through it without crying.

5. I'll have to see MSNBC's campaign contributions first

13. Midnight east. 11 Central, you get the drill.
Really. Tune out during Rita (I despise her too) but don't miss the end.

He did a great tribute to Jennings at the beginning, and the end came as a complete shock. To me, anyway.

18. Yeah, they should watch the ending.
That was awesome and a shocker. Didn't know it was coming.

2. I tried to watch..
..but when it only took her five seconds to go in to the Michael Jackson case (and then on to the Aruba case) I just couldn't take it any longer.

Why the hell couldn't they have given Rachel her own show? She would clean up and put everyone else to shame (and to have Olbermann and Maddow back to back would be great!).

4. I had never had the pleasure of
seeing her until tonight on Olberman.

Jeez, how can anyone take more than 15 seconds of this crap? I even tried draping the TV but it did not help.

What genius at MSNBC came up with hiring the offal from FUTCH?

14. You should start watching again, because what they don't realize
is thay by replacing Donahue with Olbermann, they did the one single thing that keeps them from being a complete Faux News clone. Ha, if only they had known!

But jeez. Watch it for him. He's worth everyone else on the whole channel put together. And, oh yeah, David Gregory.

9. Bleh.
Just seeing the previews was enough to keep me away from Rita Cosby. She has an incredibly grating voice, and it looks like her show is going to be just another one of those tiresome crime-and-celebrity bread and circuses, distract the proles things. Gawd. Olbermann is the only reason to watch any cable news, but I pounce on that remote at Mach 3 as soon as his show's over.

15. My fear is that TPTB at MSNBC still want to become a tabloid Faux clone.
So watch Olbermann now, while you still can. *sigh*

11. I can't stomach

12. I wonder if she was sweet and understanding when...
...she came off the anesthesia and saw her new crooked nose.

Something about her performance on KO thise evening said to me...

STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM RITA COSBY'S SHOW!

I sense I am not the only one who got that message.

But any rumors that she's on a shitload of crank are just not true, so stop saying that.

16. Couldn't believe her first show was a rehash of ...
Michael Jackson. A real journalist would have profiled Cindy tonight!
She's a FAUX transplant. If FAUX can go to Aruba, Rita could go to Crawford - just dreaming...
