    NBC and McCaffrey

    Well . . . Much to my (feigned) shock . . . Neither Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann, Brian Williams nor Rachel Maddow even mentioned General McCaffrey's name on their December 1st programs!. . . Not a word. . . If this situation had existed on any other network - in the world - it would have been at least briefly discussed. . .If this had occured on a Fox network it would have produced an Olbermann "special comment" and lengthy kvetching by Matthews and Maddow.(Williams is hopeless.)

    OK . . . So, since neither Keith nor Rachel (our current faves)do not have the stones to talk about the General - what shall we do? . . . I suggest daily emails to our duo.
