Keith Olbermann never hid the fact that it was he, Lord of MSNBC, who got Dan Abrams kicked off 9pm to make room for Rachel Maddow's namesake show. Shocker, then, that when The Rachel Maddow Show debuted last night, with Countdown's 8pm lead-in, her first guest was a one Keith Olbermann. And the first thing they talked about? The interview Barack Obama gave to, uh, Keith Olbermann, who just aired the segment during the previous hour — complete with a question from Rachel Maddow. So is this what we should come to expect: Olbermann rants during 8pm, and Maddow rehashes the rant at 9pm? Annoying, perhaps, but even we'll admit: Brilliant self-marketing strategy. Olbermann's Obama interview, below.
What a joke - NOW you've got a ranting left wing nutjob followed by a ranting left wing nutjob followed by a REPEAT of the first ranting left wing nutjob.
Great programming MSNBC - the network for morons!
