MSNBC is shaking up its prime-time programming lineup, removing the longtime host Dan Abrams from his 9 p.m. program and replacing him with Air America Radio host and frequent MSNBC commentator Rachel Maddow. Her show will premiere Sept. 8.

I'd hit it in a heartbeat.

Smart and funny.

And it's about time!

Rachel's one of smartest and most well informed media personalities out there. I've been listening to her on my afternoon drive time since she moved into that Air America time slot.

I don't know about that, her face is kinda wierd, but she is the smartest, most together pundit out there. She knows her shit inside and out.

I don't agree with her--but good for her.

I'd hit it in a heartbeat.

Posted by dxlingr

Err, she's a lesbian.
Don't think she'd be interested in any guy "hitting" her.

smart & classy Maddow should do well. next MSNBC should give Stephanie Miller a show - she is really entertaining - would be great to replace the dull Morning Joe yackfest.

I like Stephanie Miller. Listened to her for awhile out here on KTLK talk radio.
She's not on anymore in L.A. -- at least I haven't heard her in awhile.

Stephanie Miller is still on the air for the 6:00am - 9:00am morning drive time slot at KTLK in L.A.

And I agree, she's a riot and very irreverent.

I'd hit it in a heartbeat.

All I can say is: Dude!


I'm listening to Stephanie right now by streaming on line though Miami does have a station that carries her but the building I work in interferes with the signal.

I love Rachel but I hope they let her take off all that horrible makeup ESPECIALLY those hideous eye lashes. They are trying to make her look like one of the bimbos on Fox News or something. Let Rachel be Rachel.

That's all MSNBC needs is another dude spouting liberal talking points.

He's a scary looking guy.


I basically quit watching the Microsoft Network after their embarrassingly unprofessional coverage of the Dem Primary. They made Faux News look like non-partisans.

But I did catch the tension, nay, obvious dislike between Maddow and Joe Scarbutt some time ago, and kept thinking what a great cat fight that would be.

That Mandow dude would kill Scarborough.

Thanks for the link. For awhile I thought she had gone off the air.
In the mornings I'm hooked now on
Doug McIntyre - KABC 790 a.m. (6-9 a.m.).

McIntyre gives not just national news but also lots of local California and Los Angeles news/issues.
He's always holding our local politicians' feet to the fire. Plus, he's politically more middle of the road (like me) rather than far left. Stephanie Miller is very funny, though, but mostly all national politics. Try McIntyre sometime. I've been following this guy since the 2000 election when he first came on the radio and have listened to him since he was on "RedEye" (overnight radio) and now on his morning gig.

It be kinda like doing a boy... you'd like that, huh, 101?

So doing Mandow would be like doing a boy? Is that really how your mind works?

No wonder you try so hard to immitate spud. You're a sick pud.

"But I did catch the tension, nay, obvious dislike between Maddow and Joe Scarbutt some time ago, and kept thinking what a great cat fight that would be."

I was watching David Gregory's show one night, Maddow and Scarborough got into it, when they came back from the commercial he wasn't there. Haven't seen him on since with her. I think their dislike for each other is real. Scarborough can be entertaining but he is also a pompous ass much of the time. Oh, and I just have to say, I CAN'T STAND MIKA BRYZINSKI!!! She's probably a nice lady but she is always trying to act "cute" on Morning Joe, I have to turn it off half the time.

Rachel Maddow's the best thing to come out of Air America -- smart, funny, odd, brilliant, and passionate about Democratic issues. In keeping with Air America's well-deserved reputation for incompetence, they shuffled her around from one crappy timeslot to another and never promoted her as one of the radio network's stars.

I'll be tuning in to this show.

Im not sure I would put Air America on my resume...

Shocking flag...

Since Olbermann gets his ratings by talking about O'Reilly, will she get hers by talking about Hannity?

Rachel Madcow Gets Show on MSNBC?!

Oh wait, MaDDow, sorry, gotta clean my glasses once in a while.

So let me make sure I got this, Putting A left -wing, male hating, America Bashing kook on after that Idiot sports guy Olberman is "refreshing" but Fox News is Biased..Is this pretty much it? And I like Joe Scarborough, He has that vacuuos Mika and then Willie and sometimes the Metrosexual Schuster, so he has all kinds of opinion. I watch Fox because they have Bob Beckel, Lanny Davis, Ellis Hennican, Geraldine Ferraro and Now the 'Wolfman" and David Lamont Hill, what does MSNBC have .....PAT Buchannan. I just want to make sure that I know just how Biased Fox News is

"Since Olbermann gets his ratings by talking about O'Reilly, will she get hers by talking about Hannity?"

Or maybe Greata Van Susteren. I know, she's on at 10, but it probably seems more appropriate.

"Im not sure I would put Air America on my resume..."

Seems to have gotten her a slot at MSNBC!

Do you have something better on your resume???

Shocking flag...

I don't watch much news TV, Rob. I get tired of waiting around for stories I could find faster on the web.

Maddow is the smartest pundit on TV, hands down.

Can't a guy just bust balls without being replied to with rational explanations? lol

Not if I want to rag on news TV you can't.

Why taking the show from one man and give it to another..I am mean they all sounds the same and look the same..they are all on Obamas' side.

ANOTHER LIBERAL!?!? - Where is this "No Media Bias" and "Balanced View". This is why the Fairness Doc. has no place -UNLESS - they want to extend it to TV as well!

That would send CNN and MSNBC, NBC, CBS, and ABC (not to mention that bastion of liberalism - PBS) into a tailspin if they had to add a conservative to their line ups.

I do not want to ever see on these pages again you people saying there is no bias! Air America even.

AND for those of you who believe that you are so "enlightened" - don't you think this just points out what a bunch of sheep you actually are? Just follow the liberal talking points spouted by the media! BA BA BA....

You may have been thinking of Randi Rhodes. She was dropped by Air America (after an unfortunate incident outside a bar which, due in no small part to herself, got blown completely out of proportion) but has since gotten a syndicated show on another 'progressive' network, which KTLK also air's, just ahead of Rachel Maddow's 3:00pm to 6:00pm (Pacific) time slot.

Why do you think that was done? (I had never heard of her, so I'm only asking - no alterior motive.)

OLDCADUSER that wasn't what prompted Randi Rhodes losing her contract with AA. She did a stand up routine, off the air and called Hilary a whore in a joke. BTW, she is still on virtually all of her former stations just with a different network. She bashes AA and its management all the time.

Maddow is a useless left-wing bulldagger....a utopian, self-styled intellectual and a High Priestess of political correctness.
Undoubtedly she masturbates with her biker chick buddies over a life sized replica of the great Baroque Osama.
I'll take Pat Buchanan instead.

Hmmm...sounds like a better Saturday evening than seeing ol' JoeSoap giving his old lady the high hard one once every 3 months on date night while fantasizing about having a three way with Hannaty & Buchannan - but whatever floats yur boat.

Lesbian or straight, Rachel is cute and smart - there was a good article in the Nation about her a week or so ago.

Hey I didn't know John Cusack was also a reporter.

Perhaps, but it wasn't until AFTER the incident outside the bar that she was officially 'let go'.

Liberal media?

I think you've been listening to Ha-nutty and Limpblob too long.

p.s. FAUX News is hardly news, It's pure punditry. They rarely report anything without tossing in some gross mis-statement or outright lie that favors the neo-con regime.

MSNBC os DOOMED... Gosh how i love this.

Does anyone actually listen to air America?


Is it even still on the air?

Retnluvnit-
Just to get the complete picture, what do you have against Rachel Maddow?

I said nothingwith regards her.


Asnwer my questions.

The GOP (Gay old Party) has a problem with a lesbian. As normal what a joke! But then they don't like anyone with wisdom, common sense, or IQ above 10! Funny thing you Cons bad mouth Maddow and Olberman, but Limbaugh,Hannity,as well as the all spin doctor, all have been challenged to debate these two as well as Ed Shultz and they won't do it!

In my world, Olberman and Hannity are the same person, just different view points. I have stopped listening to both of them. They are just too partisan (sp?). They both need counseling to get over the Obama or Oriely derangement syndroms.

There are people who talk about people and those who talk about Ideas. I have found the ones who discuss Ideas to be infinitly more interesting.

------------------------------

As a non-zionist paleocon I largely agree with these sentiments......Olberman and Hannity are both ideological capons and as such are unable to think 'out of the box'.

BTW, Bush and his crowd are NOT conservatives; note the interventionist foreign policy, (Afghanistan was necessary), and profligate democrat-style government spending.

And fuck Al Sharpton, Gloria Allred, and Al Franken.

Nobody watches air america or msnbc. Who gives a shit.

Except danni, it sems to be her life.

Well for one, most people listen to a radio show, they don't watch it.

And for MSNBC, some cable networks give a shit enough to move the channel off the normal lineup and make it a "premium" channel, which is clearly partisan.

The working class schmo gets priced out of what should be included for all.

I have to stream the KO show because it isn't offered where I am. Its better because you only have to suffer through one ad between clips.

Whatever turns you on.

POSTED BY RETNLUVNIT

Almost every day (when I can) both on xm and online. It's one of the few souces actually reporting what goes on without 'media' bias. These are humans with brains aqnd hearts who tell it like it is. I also check out Brian and the Judge in the morning on Fox on xm. All these hosts tend to hold 'their' candidates to task as much as the other side does, cutting through the bs and intelligently (often) dicussing actual issues- something seldom happening on mainstream TV news.

Lesbian or straight, Rachel is cute and smart - there was a good article in the Nation about her a week or so ago.

exactly! smart as a whip and cute as a button! She was an excellent stand-in for The Ooberman.

I look forward to her show.

I listen to Air America when I can... I always enjoy it when I can catch Rachael on.

No wonder you try so hard to immitate spud. You're a sick pud.

Posted by 101Chairborne at 2008-08-20 11:46 AM

You were the one who mistook her for a dude. And you like Dudes right? I can add for myself! Don't need any dead tator help for that!

Anyway, I don't remember trying to imitate anyone. You will have to refresh me on that correlation because that comes from YOUR sick mind...

But, regardless, I will consider that a compliment as you see I am not near as clever or smart as The Legume de la Mort...so thanks Buttwad!

I think it's great that the left wing circle jerkers will have another person to tell them exactly what they alreasy think. It's the same thing they accuse the Rush crowd of doing. And you think this chick is cute? Come on dudes be realistic. Oh I forgot, your liberals not realists.

Rachel who? I've never heard of her, but it doesn't matter. Hardly anybody watches MSNBC anyway.

On a side note, I get a kick out of watching you lefties throw mud at Fox News. It's the number one cable news network. They must be doing something right.

Number one for how long???

"Jul 2, 2008

After being kicked out of first place by CNN in the first quarter, Fox News Channel climbed back to No. 1 in the second.

But that win is dampened by gains by both CNN and MSNBC. Each was up substantially in primetime ratings over first-quarter 2007, while Fox News slid.

Through March, April and May, FNC averaged 344,000 primetime viewers in the news-friendly 25-54 demographic, but it slipped 2 percent from the 352,000 it averaged in the year-earlier period.

Over those same months, CNN averaged 297,000 25-54s, up 22 percent from a year earlier. MSNBC saw even stronger growth, up 46 percent, from 185,000 to 271,000."

This gal is one of the few who critically thinks. Ooops, i forgot, critical thinking is UnAmerican to the many bufoons on the right. Rachael will be Chickenhawk, viagra Limbaugh's worst nightmare

I highly doubt it. Rush could thrash her in split seconds.

Here is the problem with your stupid quote, Limbaugh is too much of a coward to have any one on his program. This gutless pervert would NEVER debate anyone who can refute his DAILY LIES.

Here is proof that the so-called liberla media never reported in 2004: John Kerry and his fellow vet Jim Rassman demanded to get on Limbaigh's program in 2004, Limbaugh and his cowards aka Mr Snerdly denies this.

PROVE IT

Posted by retnluvnit


Wow, so I guess if Limbaugh denies it, it is good enough for you? Here are three ways to proove it:

Kerry's word
Rassman's word
Telephone records from DNC on calls to Limbaugh. other than that, a pathetic drek like yourself would not beilive it, even if Limbaugh admitted it

You still have not proven it.

"a pathetic drek like yourself"

Is this part of progressive speak?

Even if your accusation is true, Kerry was out of line to demand anything from Rush. It's Rush's show. He controls the daily content, and he rarely entertains guests.

"exactly! smart as a whip and cute as a button! She was an excellent stand-in for The Ooberman.

I look forward to her show."
