MSNBC just asked AAR viewers to tune into

[Skidmore]

Rita Cosby. Not kidding, just heard the ad on AAR. Any takers?

My response is--Hell, no.

[Walt Starr]

1. Not even on a bet

That reichwing Eva Braun wanna be cow can go to hell!

[fooj]

5. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Won't be attending any parties at your home?

Peace.

[babylonsister]

2. Not a chance. I've also seen new commercials for

Bowtie boy; since they moved his show to 11pm, they're now shilling for the drunks-I kid you not!

[kimpossible]

9. Rachel Maddow kick;s Bow Tie Boy's *ss

Don't knock The Situation - Rachel is just awesome on it. She's always sharp and well-informed, she knows how to shoehorn her way in when they try to shut her out of a conversation, and she can talk circles around Carlson.

Too bad MSNBC doesn't realize what it has. Instead of moving the show to 11pm, they ought to fire Carlson and make Rachel the host!

11pm puts it opposite The Daily Show. Not a chance that it'll win that battle in the ratings!

17. It's a shame they didn't let Rachel host...

If MSNBC put Countdown on at 9, they could have Rachel lead in at 8 with an hour long show covering straight news instead from the US and the world instead of having another lame debate show like the Situation.

I bet there are a ton of people (like myself) who would rather see a show similar to the network news shows rather then two pundits arguing back and forth over issues that they've already decided upon.

(And, since I'm pretty much dreaming anyways, why not throw the Daily Show on at 10 and completely make my day, right?)

3. Wow. This is a testament to the popularity of AAR.

If MSNBC is trying to attract an audience off it it, tells you something, doesn't it?

[Ian David]

8. If MSNBC wants AAR listeners, they should advertise during Olberman

Different audiences, but I'd bet they're similar demographics.

Poll question: Do you watch Countdown, The Daily Show, Both, or Neither?

4. Why did they ask that? Any rationale you can furnish we who

didn't hear it first hand?

[Skidmore]

7. It was a basic pitch for viewers.

I'm assuming they are trying to scrounge up an audience for her. I'll wager she is the next candidate for the 11 pm slot after they move Tucker to doing infommercials.

[Lex]

6. WTF? Why would they ask AAR viewers? She's by no means progressive

and is just another ill-informed hack media ho' for the repukes.

[NYCGirl]

16. It was a commercial run on AAR. NT

[CottonBear]

10. IMHO, once you go Faux, there is no journalistic redemption.

No way, no how, never, ever will I listen to Miss Fair & Blanced, Rita Cosby. You blew it chickie poo. I have ZERO respect for you.
:puke:

The only show I watch on MSNBC is KO's Countdown.

[Skidmore]

13. LOL... actually, part of her schtick is still that

she'll provide balanced interviews. I'm beginning to wonder if ole Rupert didn't buy out MSNBC.

[cry baby]

11. Oh, another blonde "news person" on MSNBC...

can't imagine that!

[jane_pippin]

12. Probably took over Tucker's ad buy as well as his timeslot

(just kidding and speculatin' since I heard ads for Tucker's show on AAR a while back)

[lonestarnot]

14. Self-delete/ dup post

[lonestarnot]

15. Fuck you MSNBC! Good thing I'm not home would have

broken another TV!
