Go Rachel!

The NYTimes reports that, my hero, Air America's Rachel Maddow is in the running to get her own show on MSNBC.

It's about time.
“At some point, I don’t know when, she should have a show,” said Phil Griffin, hours before he was promoted on Wednesday to president of MSNBC. “She’s on the short list. It’s a very short list. She’s at the top.”
You see, conservatives, this is what actual liberal media would look like.

Contrary to popular misconception, it's not Wolf Blitzer, George Stephanopoulos and the others members of beltway punditocracy you constantly cite.

More on Ms. Maddow, whose radio show airs locally on 1340AM at 6p.m. M-F, can be found here.
