148. What she gets paid is nobody's business.

I also wish she was on 5 nights per week, but the decision is her choice to make (along with her MSNBC bosses). Rachel has worked hard for a long time, and I don’t blame her for wanting to cut back. Her significant other almost died last year and her parents are getting old; she wants to spend more time with them. I like Laurence O’Donnell too, and he seems to take a lot of time off. But I’m not angry with him about it.
