I'm glad Maddow didn't follow Olbermann to Current

[Stinky The Clown]

I recall how, when Olbermann left MSNBC, many here were hoping Current would be the the left version of Faux Nooz. When Olbermann went there, many were hoping Maddow would follow David Schuster and Cenk to make for a blockbuster Leftie Lineup.

I remain deeply mistrustful of MSNBC, but I am glad Maddow still has a reliable, available gig.

Following Olbermann there would have been a disaster.

Following him there or following him anywhere.

1. what would have happened if she had gone to Current?

I didn't know that possibility was discussed, it doesn't completely make sense, but if she did why would it be a disaster?

2. I'm curious to see how Stephanie Miller will do there.

She is pretty easy going. I hope it grows her audience and vice versa. We need lots of liberal voices out there and she is a good alternative to joe scarborough.

7. I think she will do fine. She mentioned something about her email

exploding since she's been with them.

8. She'll be fine - her show should be incredibly cheap for Current to produce

The radio show is gonna "pay the bills" to keep her show going. All Current has to do is put a camera in the radio studio - that's really damn cheap to produce.

3. K&R. I was just thinking the same thing...

Early on, KO talked about bringing her to Current when her present contract was up...

4. Keith gave Rachel exposure ,Rachel

gives us perspicacity ,truth and much humor . Not only doesn't need to follow ,but has become a precious resource that can be trusted.

5. I never thought she would. She seems to stay put as long as she can.

Even when she went to MSNBC, she still kept her radio show going at Air American until they folded, one of the last few of the original line-up that started with AA to stay until the bitter end.

6. So far it seems Rachel knows just the right degree of "left" to preach

w/o crossing the MSNBC oligarch line.

9. Even if Rachel were to ditch MSNBC,

they still at least have the Ed Show, The Last Word, and PoliticsNation.
