[roguevalley]

27. could be keith is helping her with an audition chance? Hope so. I love her.

[madaboutharry]

3. I love Rachel.

I think they are grooming her for her own show.

We have made some progress, an out lesbian featured on MSNBC. Couldn't happen on Fox.

[immoderate]

4. Yaaaaayyy!!!

8. Clap Clap Clap

:applause:

[Cleita]

5. Fabulous! I'll be watching.

Can we hope she will get her own show? Now that Tucker is gone, it seems that there might be an opening.

[gateley]

10. When did Tucker exit? nt

[shireen]

6. i don't know Rachel personally,

but for what it's worth, I am bursting with pride over her success.


:applause:

[bunkerbuster1]

16. Funny how I feel the same way, too.

I've talked her up from back in the day... well, not quite back to "Unfiltered," but back when she had an hourlong super-early morning show that hit me as the smartest, wittiest thing on the radio.

Yeah, I'm proud for her too. Even though she probably doesn't lurk in here, if any of her staff do, tell her we at DU think she done good.

[liberalla]

7. YES! I just heard that too! I'm so happy for her!

She'll be getting her own show soon! :fingerscrossed:

[NC_Nurse]

9. Great! Love her.

:thumbsup:

[lordsummerisle]

11. Do you have a link for this? n/t

[liberalla]

19. she announced it on her radio show

Just said it again, 3 minutes ago. Barring some unforseen event or breaking news, she is scheduled to host tomorrow. She'll be a guest on Countdown with Keith tonight. Maybe they'll say something then.

[Rick Myers]

12. Really!?!?!?!

That is SUPER COOL!!!!!

:kick:

[XtraProudDem]

13. Hooray!

I love me some Rachel Maddow.

[bunkerbuster1]

14. well all right then!

Yay! Way to go, Rachel! About time those lunkheads at MSNBC gave her a shot at guest-anchoring.

[Hieronymus]

15. Go, Rachel ... she's really getting the recognition she deserves.

[Yael]

17. Wow -- this is great news!

Congrats to her. This is large! :bounce:

[UALRBSofL]

18. I can't wait to see her tomorrow

[1776Forever]

20. Great - I will be watching. Thanks!!

:hi:

[Oceansaway]

21. TOUCHE !!..n/t

[tbyg52]

22. I am thrilled!

I think she's a doll. Saw her on the show they put on the broadcast channel (too cheap to get cable), and she was great.

[BlueIdaho]

23. That makes me all kinds of happy

Hooray for Dr Maddow!

[panAmerican]

24. It'll be wonderful to have an extended platform for her analysis

She looked thrilled when KO hinted at this right before the break.

[Janet Carter]

25. I love Rachel.

She is so smart and so incredibly beautiful. I got my hair cut just like hers yesterday. And she is sooooooo NICE. Unlike the dimwitted, silicone-titted, bleached blondes that Faux news continues to hire.

[johnnydrama]

26. she's fantastic

at breaking through the right wing BS'ers like Scarbrough. One of the best we have on TV.

[libnnc]

28. hmmmmmm

Methinks Keefie has found a suitable sub so he can finally get a vacation every now and then.

Rachel subbing for Keith = Perfection! :think:

[TTUBatfan2008]

31. Even better would be...

Rachel in the 9 EDT timeslot right after Keith. :)

[AwakeAtLast]

29. If you lived closer I'd invite you over to watch at my house.

Can't wait! Truly Must-see TV!

:bounce: :bounce:

[KatyaR]

35. That's very sweet--thank you!

I guess I'll have to continue to live vicariously through YouTube video clips. :D

[riverdeep]

30. I can't believe it, I'm really excited here.

And it really has nothing directly to do with me. This could be the dawning of a new day, to have a show on cable that tells it like it is.

edit: besides Keith's

[orleans]

32. HOW DO YOU KNOW THIS???

he said he wasn't going to tell.

i saw the show tonight and was trying to figure out what they were talking about.

are you psychic?

or did you get an email??

[babylonsister]

33. I imagine she mentioned in on her radio show as the OP doesn't

have cable.

[KatyaR]

34. She announced it on her show Thursday afternoon.

I wish I was psychic . . . .

[wrando]

36. will ko be a guest?

this screws up ko's nightly line up
first Milbank
then Wolfe
then Alter
then Maddow
then for a little diversity Gene Robinson

order is sometimes different

the show is always fair an full of surprises

maybe Maddow will give us a special comment
WoW I'm on pins and needles

bill from ct

[mucifer]

37. can she start the show with "Life during wartime" ?

That would be great!

[Vinca]

38. Oh, good! I love Rachel. Wish they'd give her Scarborough's slot. nt

[lazyriver]

39. Very cool. I'm looking forward to a whole hour of Rachel.

She's the sharpest cheese in the deli, IMHO.

[SodoffBush]

40. She is bright and beautiful

It's great to have her on board.

[FatDave]

41. Go Rachel!

I've been hoping for a Rachel Maddow show on MSNBC since I heard they shitcanned Tucker. I'd be really happy with MSNBC becoming the liberal alternative to Fox Noise.

[backscatter712]

42. SHE'S ON!!!

Go, Rachel!

[malaise]

43. Bravo Rachel!

This is too cool. Thanks KO. :yourock:

[WA98296]

44. Awesome, watching now!
