This is supposedly a woman of great integrity, according to her fan club. Yet she sat there on Countdown for months agreeing with every utterance that came out of Keith Olbermann's mouth, even during the dark days of his nearly insane rantings about Hillary Clinton, batting her eyes at him (even funnier, she's an out lesbian)flirtatiously. Her reward for playing the role of Keith's Mini-Me (hey, matching haircuts!) is that she gets Dan Abrams bumped off of TV and gets her own show. And then Olbermann has her on his show in order to boast that she owes it all to him. The whole thing was very tacky, and Maddow comes off to me and others I know as a smug know-it-all and a social climber par excellance. I seldom agree with Joe Scarborough, but I have to admit I share his almost visceral disdain for Maddow's very presence. I think the Divine Ms. M will soon find out that carrying a TV show on your own is much harder than running your mouth as a guest.
