4. Given the circumstances around the TV machine, I wish there

had been a bit of a head's up from MaddowBlog or something..

2. Exciting... I have great respect for MHP!

:bounce:

[CTyankee]

3. Isn't she great? LOVE her!

Betcha Rachel is on vacation. Good for her. She needs a break...

[demmiblue]

14. There was someone here that didn't like...

what they saw as a speech impediment. Puhlease!

She is brilliant!

5. Where is Rachel? I didn't hear her give a heads up, and I can't find anything on her web site...

Is she getting a time-out, or the boot?

:wtf:

[malaise]

6. Is that you KeithO?

I was hoping she was heading for Current :evilgrin:

[keith0]

9. sorry, just a fan =)

Yeah, when she crosses their line, i am sure they will be happy to have her, she is a remarkable educator.

:hi:

13. LOL n/t

[tishaLA]

7. vacation. and she was off Friday bc

A young staffer died. The staffer was, IIRC, only in her 20s.

[keith0]

10. gotta link?

and that's terrible news about the young staffer.

[tishaLA]

12. she mentioned it during a short bumper segment last week

But I don't have a link for it, sorry.

[keith0]

19. you would think there would be a note on her website

considering the M$M track-record, I wouldn't be surprised if they want to give her the boot, or silence her for the last week of the drama&fear rope-a-DOPE narrative.

8. Anybody knows what's going on with Rachel?

Looks like a strange time to take a vacation. I hope she is OK...

[keith0]

11. Her guest host just said she is on "vaykay" but gave no details as to when she would be back

it would be nice if one of her assistants could make a blog post about what the dealio is, in light of the rocky history liberals have with M$M.

17. It's summer, that's when most people take vacations

so nothing strange there IMO. August is especially a big month for vacations. Myself I prefer a vacation in Autumn or winter but I've always been differant from the majority of people. :shrug:

15. I love her. She's so damn smart...and a beautiful woman. Lethal combo.

:)

MSNBC should hire HER to replace Cenk. Would she leave Georgetown though?

[tishaLA]

16. she's at Tulane

She left Princeton to be with her new hubby (no disrespect intended to Tulane, but that's quite a step down a academically) so I'd doubt she'd go to NYC or DC for Phil Griffin. Her husband is a NO-based politico.

[in_cog_ni_to]

18. Oh...where the hell did I get Georgetown?

:crazy: I didn't know her husband was in politics either. Interesting. Thanks!
