Rachael Maddow in Tucker's spot?

[Disturbed]

The rumors are flying.

1. "Improvement" just doesn't say it....what an idea nt

[Fridays Child]

2. Direct me to the mill, please.

:)

[babylonsister]

3. I'd watch every night instead of turning the scumbag off ASAP. nt

4. She might just be too smart for television.

[smokey nj]

5. That would be WONDERFUL!!!!

If this is true, I hope she brings Kent Jones over with her.

23. A twofer.

I love how he makes Rachel laugh. My favorite part of the show.

6. She is REALLY effective on TV -- that'd be a great move!

7. The KOEB has been screaming for this for months

possibly a year or so. Although if they can Tucker, then there goes my idea of having Rachel host a show & keep Tucker around so she can mock his wardrobe choices, but we can't have everything, can we?

8. Please say it is so. Please, please, please!!! eom

[malaise]

9. That would be great.

Oh Yes. Bubye Fugger. Bush is ranting on KO about SChip.

Send the bill over and over.

[moondust]

10. Do it! Do it! Do it!

[PoiBoy]

11. That would be a great move..!!

Rachael does really well on the tube.... she comes across smart, confident and funny... plus she's easy on the eyes..!

[GigiMommy]

12. What a breath of fresh air that would be!

Would Kent Jones be there too?

[Stinky The Clown]

13. She was just on Olbermann's show. Interesting parting repartee .....

KO thanked her for 'coming over to the place' (the new studios at 30 Rock). She said something like "Yes, I really love it here."

There were what appeared (hopelessly hopefully???) to be knowing smiles all around.

14. Please take Kent Jones along also!!

They make a great duo. I love the Kent Jones Now segments.

I totally agree. Rachel's got a face for TV, an incredible intellect, sense of humor and irony and is amazingly articulate. Tuck can't hold a candle to her when it comes to straight journalism.

[johnfunk]

16. I want my "Kent Jones Now!" With Kent Jones!! NOW!!!

Rachel and Kent, two of the best on radio...

[Sparkly]

15. Oh I hope so!!

THAT would be a smart move! :bounce:

[TheDebbieDee]

17. I want Sam Seder in Phucker's spot......

But if I can't get Sam on MSNBC, I'll settle for Sam moving into Rachel's old radio spot!

I miss Sam..........

[Disturbed]

18. Maybe a Petition to the Network would be a good idea?

Does anyone here on DU have the know how on that?

[jgraz]

19. Shit, we still need to get rid of Lie-anal

It's a travesty that that asshole is still on the air.

20. Be still mah heart

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

We have the KOEB for keefie

I'd like to start the RMLEB (Rachel Maddow Lesbian Estrogen Brigade) :loveya:

:bounce:

21. I noticed she's been on MSNBC a lot more lately.

She's become something of a regular commentator. I've been charmed with her on radio for some time-how she can make hard news so entertaining. Well, 'entertaining' may not be the word because of the subject matter, more like 'engaging'.

And she does have great TV presence-so quick and assured. The only time I saw her flustered was a couple of weeks ago when she and some super-crazed right-wing host I've never heard of was on Dan Abrams and he started going off on her on a personal level, saying she was a East Village latte drinking liberal, blah blah. I think he even insulted her sexuality, I can't remember. The things he said were so inappropriate, she was just sitting there with her jaw open, as were the other guests.

[immoderate]

24. I bet that if she weren't "auditioning," she'd have...

...ripped that guy a new one. Smart and quick, and deep, Rachel will find her voice. However, I think she believes in always being nice. :)

22. Rumors from viewers or rumors in the industry? The latter would be significant, the former not.

Any sources to point to?

[liberalla]

25. I haven't heard that rumor, but I'd love to see her representin'

Would miss her on the radio, but she'd be soooooo good on the tube!
