Yesterday, Rita Cosby went on Sirius radio** to address those rumors that she was forced out at MSNBC (turns out the decision was mutual!) and discusses the "plethora of things" she's contemplating as her next potential gig (teaching, TV shows, radio shows, and more!) And, in between enlightening us as to the real reason behind her departure, Rita opened up about her one-of-a-kind journalistic approach.
I didn't want to do what sort of everybody else is doing. I want to do roll-up-my-sleeves, get out there, go to these places, go get the guests.
Which, incidentally, is exactly the sort of ingenuity Rita demonstrated by crashing Anna Nicole Smith's funeral.
But seriously, we're sure she'll turn out fine in the end.
After all, if O.J. Simpson can get a book deal, Judge Larry Seidlin can get his own tv show and Kal Penn is teaching a course at UPenn, surely there's hope for a formerly raspy MSNBC reporter, who may or may not have had scary Mexican vocal cord surgery?
**"The Catholic Channel," no less!!

You're so full of it when it comes to Rita!
Rita is the one who is full of it!
This loser is done!
I heard Rita found an old coffee cup in her office when she was packing her stuff. It was all moldy and gross and the stench was horrific. The good news is, that moldy cup is taking over for Keith Olberman and ratings with MSNBC 's remaining viewer (s) is expected to soar! MSNBC is done! How much more irrelevant can their programming get…really…seriously…think about it.
I just wanna say that I am standing by my source.
Cella,
You bearded old hag, go stick your face back into the plastic bag you have been huffing from, before your next trick drives up.
You're the loser.
I think that a small Rita Posse is trying to rile everything up unessesarily.
No one really cares (except her posse who are trying desperately to start a feud or two)
How sad.
Nigel Snarkley-Smythe will never forget the Saturday night on Fox early in the Iraq debacle when unlovely Rita kept joyfully claiming WMD's have been found. No retraction ever came.
#6 I found you again. Who is trying to rile anything?
A 'Rita Posse'? Very novel. Nevet met the woman.
You must be a glue sniffing bearded old hag. I am pretty familiar with many of the names in media today.
I do not recall any meth tweeking prostitutes on any network shows. Where can I find you on TV?
Go huff yourself into a coma.
Rita is fucking gorgeous.
I could care less about your opinion about her journalism.
