1. Rachel probably cares more about doing what is right than what is safe.

2. I think that is so true and obvious; for her to even discuss this
takes loyalty and bravery. I wouldn't be surprised if she was told to leave it alone and decided not to. And she mentioned she'd talk about double standards, so stand by.

She just doubled down on her comments saying something to the effect of "Later I'll be talking about
our crazy day here, the suspension of my friend and colleague KO, and about what exactly this all means about how we do things around here."

This is gonna be great. I'd bet she's going to be going against her superior's wishes too.

3. Olberman didn't care, either
He knew he was on the chopping block just like Phil Donahue.

He went ahead anyways.

4. I doubt her contract bars her from commenting on anything.
Where Olberman effed up was not adhering to the terms of his contract.

Shitty deal, tho.

17. Ugh - I don't have HBO. Hopefully it won't be them. We are in the cutting back mode at my house.
It's hard enough not watching Maher.

6. Rachel's seen this bullshit before
Remember, she used to work for Air America. She saw what they did to Mike Malloy, Randi Rhodes, Sam Seder, Marc Maron, etc.

7. She'll tell the truth and she'll be fair.
And that's why I watch her every evening.
