If I have interpreted this incorrectly I will actually be relieved. Anyone with a view into KO's mind and beliefs might not exactly be a role model except for the likes of the Huff n Puffers and the KozKidz.

It struck me as an effort by KO to be too clever by half to assure the Kiddiez that MSNBC is open to that message from the public right now but you didn't hear it from me.

This s too much. The Kossacks are now insisting that anyone who does not cast the correct vote in the Presidential Election is honor bound to enlist.

"For these people, a just health care system, fiscal responsibility, beneficial trade policies, environmental protection, veterans' benefits, reproductive rights, LGBT rights, to name a few things, are far less important than the brief sense of bitter pride they might derive from seeing Obama defeated in November. Yet, while matters of policy are always up for debate (i.e., no one can say how successful Obama will actually be in enacting a progressive agenda), there is one thing we do know will result from an Obama loss: several more years of unspeakable sacrifice from America's service men and women."

Wow, do you think if anyone, say MikeH, votes for Obama and he doesn't withdraw the troops from the middle east in double time they will also be a 'Chickenhawk" if they don't immediately enlist?

That article doesn't seem to pose a question so much as it makes a flat out statement that voting for Obama insures that you are good and pure of heart. responsibility

"Representation. At this time you have an all male line up. Ms. Maddow would not only serve to represent all women on your network, but also represent the LGBT community, a demographic with massive purchasing power for your advertisers products."

Massive purchasing power? Maybe 7% of the population are LGBT about the same amount as alcoholics. Are you ready for Boy Butter, Glide Personal Lubricant or Rainbow Votive Candles coming over the tube? Gays don't buy anything differently then heteros except for sex toys and rainbow things.

Wouldn't it be better for everybody over at MSDNC to just admit they're gay?

Golly Gee! I posted a few comments positing in several different ways what would the righteous and pure of heart be obligated to do if Obama won and their predictions did not come true.

Would they have to make an unbreakable contract to enlist their ancestors and descendants in ONLY the Army (the diarist made it quite clear that joining the Navy or Air Force would not be allowed) in perpertuity. I'm not sure about the Marines and Coast Guard though.

I titled all my comments on a variation of "Who left the asylum door open?".

This is not the first time I've been active on a blue blog and suddenly everything disappears as if it never existed.

I think that speaks volumes.

Where is this Maddow show supposed to air on the line-up...his little buddy Shuster hass been given Tucker's slot after KO got him canned who is MSNBC supposed to remove to make room for her?..in other words who is KO trying to get removed from the MSNBC line-up?..New Murrow indeed.

I hope Maddow gets a show, so we can watch her crash and burn.
She is clearly one of the most uninteresting people on MSNBC.

Mlong,

No surprise who KO's trying to "throw under the bus" here....the theory over there is that Gregory's show (Road to the WH or whatev its called) has a shelf-life that expires the 1st week of November. That frees up the 6:00 slot (is Gregory on at 6? I have no idea what their schedule is anymore).

Even if Matthews leaves and Gregory takes over Hardball, that slot is still open.

And either Matthews or Gregory is gone, making KO as happy as a bottle of Merlot and a warm bath.
