So, conservative talker Tucker Carlson has been fired from his 6 p.m. MSNBC show, Tucker. Instead of trying to find a new host with the same name, we hear the network is leaning heavily toward Rachel Maddow, the liberal lesbian who Keith Olbermann desperately wants made into a nationwide star. Maddow has long been a provocative radio gab girl and has had some major success as a guest during MSNBC political panels — chiefly, telling Chris Matthews to his big, yellow face that he’s a sexist. Upon which, his leg got this sort of funny feeling running all up and down. And then he had a stiff drink (allegedly!).
P.S. Now we know why Carlson was so mad at the media on Friday.

See ya Tucker… (on Fox)
She is no better than the other Hillary haters at MSNBC; including Keith Olbermann, Joe Scarborough, Chris Matthews, Chuck Todd, Tim Russett and the now gone, (thank goodness!!!) Tucker Carlson. This entire bunch need to be fired for the shoddy biased way they have handled reporting on this election, including Rachel Maddow. I will never watch her if they hire her. This network needs to fade to black and be replaced with the grainy snow background.
Couldn’t agree more..
I’m starting to think FOX is more fair and balanced !!
Not the first time Tucker Carlson has been fired… Remember CNN?! What took MSNBC so long?! Could not of happen soon enough or to a nicer (not) person! I for one, am glad to see him go… Thank you MSNBC! Carlson is self centered, narrow minded bore with a bad attitude!
I think we soul send MSNBC, Thank you note! I like Rachel Maddow, I like her fairness, no non sense style. I hope MSNBC does give the spot to her, she would be a access for them! Big Head, keep us updated.
MSNBC is getting too liberal. I might have to switch back to CNN.
BTW, why does everyone hate Tucker? He’s not as bad as half of his colleagues.
I think they should revamp their whole weeknights. Get rid of Matthews (Tweety bird). Add more news.
MSNBC has good Documentaries. I am glad to see Tucker Carlson go… they need some fresh talent there. I disagree about them becoming to liberal, MSNBC was becoming more like Fox everyday! Their talking heads have become to judgmental, way to opinionated, they have lost the facts - instead injected personal view points! MSNBC talent heads has lost their edge to journalism.
Keith Olbermann and Dan Abrams have good shows. I hope Rachel Maddow will being some freshness back to the anchor desk. MSNBC should fire David Shuster next!
Did you really need to hear a rumor on this?
We knew months ago that Maddow was on the verge of getting a show on MSNBC. All they needed was an opening.
Where will Tucker go?!
Rachel is very biased in favor Obama and against Hillary so she will not be an improvement for those of us that fear Obama.
Tucker actually was better than Matthews regarding Obama.
Matthews is in love with Obama. I think MSNBC sucks totally,
there is not one show on there worth a crap. Fox is better at least they are not pretending to be something they are not.
Olbermann makes me want to throw up.
While Sean Hannity is over the top sometimes, he definitely has Obama’s number and is not afraid to put it out there. He is causing Obama a lot of grief and he is not about to let up, not that he gives Hillary a free ride but he is definitely getting the truth out about Obama.
Tucker will probably go to Bloomberg along with the other discards like Margaret Carlson and Al Hunt.
Is Tucker still suffering from the Jon Stewart curse?
I love that girl! She is hillarious!
I hate to tell you this, but the NY Times is saying it’s David Gregory.
Maddow shot a pilot, but they aren’t going with her. Yet.
My post about this is at this link.
Also, Andrea Mitchell gets an hour until the election for campaign news.
Bad time for cons…. the American People just seem to have a problem with Nazis, no matter how boyish and appealing and nerdy they are. Oh, it make take awhile, like eight years, but by then almost any American can tell a Nazi when they see one, and they are starting to just not like American GOPNazis anymore.
Wait until November…. you ain’t seen NOTHIN’ yet.
Good riddance. Tucker Carlson drives me crazy with the inane question he keeps asking. Rachel Maddow would certainly be a step up.
Olbermann is pulling hard for Maddow. Gregory will be doing this briefly.
Again, it is not Rachel: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/10/business/media/10cnd-tucker.html?_r=2&hp&oref=slogin&oref=slogin
I think Maddow and Gregory should have a dance-off to see who gets the position! Or maybe I just like watching David Gregory dance…

It doen’t matter who replaces Tucker because they are not going to be any different. They are so Obama which is sickening. That is why I stopped watching msnbc period.Morning Joe is worse.I think some of the others should be fired as well.
Why dont you try listening to Rachel’s show on Air America. You will clearly hear that she does not have an Obama bias……
Rachel has said enough on MSDNC to let me know that she has not been educated in the way people really are. She clings to a format of her objectives, and any items that challenge her do not result in her using any social or common sense.
I have frequently seen her scold people to be more like her, and subscribe to her way of thinking…she is not intellectually curious.
I feel keith olberman and chris matthews does a wonderful job reporting on issues. This is america freedom of speech you don’t have to take everything someone has to say to heart, you don’t like a certain tv station don’t watch it simple as that I tune in to msnbc from alot I can’t wait to watch chris and keith.
