I'm so freaking glad Keith Olbermann will be on next week

I do not intend to watch Michael Steele - sorry Rachel. I am not happy he's has joined M$NBComcast. Let him go to Fox.

3. Uh oh. The former RNC head now works for MSNBC?

And he'll appear on the Maddow show? I guess that'll make for some pretty cool debates right there.

8. Not really...in a battle of wits, Steele is but an unarmed man...

especially with Rachel! Tells me a lot about the direction they are taking, getting rid of Keith and hiring Michael Steele.

9. II have a habit

The last word comes on here at 5, I turn tv on and put it on pause for an hour and a half, then start watching, any time I see any of the dipwad repugs I advance past them, I didn't watch any of them when they were on any show before and I won't watch any of them now, I might miss things that they ask but I am not the least interested in anything they have to say whether they are on rachel, last word or ed, I will not watch at all, if they are on regularly as it looks like steele may be I will just not watch rachel at all... MSNBC is going to lose a lot of viewers I think if this is were they are going.

10. I just change channels when they come on

I intend to turn back in a few minutes, but usually I get involved in whatever else I turned to and forget. I'm missing a lot of MSNBC shows, but catching up on other stuff.

Tonight I turned over to the American Experience when she said Steele was coming on. Got to learn more about how the Communist hunters destroyed Oppenheimer. Very good show and I was much more informed than I would have been if I had stayed on MSNBC. Sorry, Rachel & Ed.

11. I have dish

And there is a fast switch that I can jump to another channel, usually keep a ball game on the other one and just switch there a lot, or as you do if they have too much of that crap on I just watch something else or kick back with a book.

12. DirecTV here and same "jump" button

But since I am usually doing other stuff while watching TV, I often get engaged in that. It's as easy to turn to mute for commercials as to jump back to the other channel and often I prefer that peace to seeing some Repugs ugly mug, even if I can silence them.

13. Gads, I hear you...I just can't stomach it.

I took a break from all of it when things seemed to be going south after all my hopeful expectations. I'm ashamed to say I haven't mustered the courage to go back, even to Rachel.

15. Works for me

By being able to fast forward through those sessions I manage to stand them, if it gets too heavy I just turn it off....sad for sure, they are usually good information shows.

6. Is Keith speaking somewhere else now? I listened to Norm Goldmans show tonight, and

he had a clip of Keith criticizing Big Ed. Norm Didn't say where he got the clip, or if he did,I missed it.

I also have to bit*h about Current TV not being on here! I've contacted Charter both via phone & email several times and haven't heard a thing.
I keep hoping a deal will soon be made. There are a hundred other channels they could take off their current lineup and nobody would even notice!
