What the hell does that mean? This woman (?) is a lesbo lib!!! The good news is that her ratings will be lower than even Olbermann’s! I give her two weeks TOPS! Comment by John Kerry — December 11, 2007 @ 12:13 am What a surprise to learn you're a bigot. A "lezbo lib?" Why do you care what she does in her bedroom? What's all this nonsense about "ratings?" Are you now a member of the Nielsen family? Or are you just really, insanely, stupid? Here's what I care about, and I feel safe in saying, most people who post on this website care about, THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. We care about returning our country to the days when it operated under the auspices of the Constitution. Your ridiculous comments indicate to me that all you care about is winning republican-style. You are a traitor to your country. And you are disgusting in every way. Here's hoping you go the way of all republican trash, straight down the toilet, or into prison where you belong. You're garbage and I want you out of my country. “Progressive”?? What the hell does that mean? This woman (?) is a lesbo lib!!! The good news is that her ratings will be lower than even Olbermann’s!

When he was a fill-in host for RigntWing Joe Scarborough, he was as big a reicher as ol' Joe - he annoyed the crap out of me with his rightwing tooliness. Now, however, it seems Mr. Abrams has swung round to the left - it was gradual; I noticed that I wasn't yelling at the TV quite as often! ;o) And I'd place the cause of that shift directly on the fast-growing popularity of Keith Olbermann. Way to go, Keith!!! It makes me laugh like crazy to watch Dan Abrams these days.

Also that she was an Oxford Fellow like Bill Clinton. you must pursue the faux/rePUG/nincompoop line a little closer.

I have been a fan of Rachel Maddow from the moment she started on Air America. She is the right-wing's biggest nightmare... a beautiful, strong, outspoken Lesbian with a Ph.D. in political science, with a sense of humor. While Tucker Carlson's show was being lambasted by all the reviewers Rachel was mentioned as the only bright spot of his show. Tucker threw a hissy-fit and got her portion limited to a few seconds. I hope her show flies and they let her do her thing. Good luck Rachel. By the way, Kent Jones is also great I hope he moves with her. The picture used by TVNewser is an outdated photo.

Tucker is just a 'wipe, and David has already shown that he can be pretty relentless when the people he interviews try to avoid answering his questions. Rachel is strong enough to hold her own on her own show. I watched the Abrams segment; unfortunately, he needs a lot more than the 5 or 10 minutes he was able to devote to it in order to cover the ruination of the Justice Department. I realize that it's a series, but he needs more time in each show just to delve into each of the hundreds of facets of this issue. Screw the fluff news!
