Ann Coulter brought up a good point in her interview on "Your World" yesterday. She thinks that with Obama the President-elect, MSNBC's ratings will decline. And with their Bush administration lightning rod out of power, they'll have nobody to criticize: "I mean, what is MSNBC going to do? Just attack Bill O'Reilly 24 hours a day? W-What do they do?"

They will certainly attack BOR in the 8:00 hour every weeknight. That's for sure.

Ugh!...the photo-flap story is just more old David Seltzer inspired gobbledegook stoking the overactive imaginations of anti-Christ concern trolls.
 
A man with a similar photo in his past, Father Brennen, (or at least the actor who played him), died of natural causes in 1987 which did not involve a large steel rod coming down from a church roof and impaling him.
 
Even with this "eerie photo," I am sure our new President can remain confident in his Secret Service protection and leave such silliness to hollywood and the paranoid.

Good to see that the Strategy Room got extended, but it isn't playing for me.

To what magnitude is Chris Matthews stupid for saying the "my job" thing.
 
Can you imagine what CM would have been saying if BOR said the same thing about W?
 
Yikes!!!
 
If MSNBC leadership does not take action over this, its more proof that they are idiots and that MSNBC is soooooo in the tank for Obama.

I am so sad to hear that "MARTY!" has passed away. A long-time caller to the Sean Hannity Show. Died at 90 years young. A benchmark member of the greatest generation.
 
WWII vet, stormed the beach at Normandy. A true war hero. Sean Hannity frequently and appropriately referred to him as "A Great American!".
 
God Bless ya Marty. Heaven is now a better place.

CNN seemed to get a day-long post-election bump yesterday.
