Yes, it was a giant mess, but a lot of really good people, like Rachel, Sam Seder, Marc Maron, Randi Rhodes, and others, got a lot of exposure from that station.

on Air America along with Lizz Winstead was where she cut her journalistic chops.

Otherwise, she never would've been noticed by Olbermann and given her big break.

It would be wonderful to celebrate her birthday with her, although,

with her sense of humor, I'm sure she'll want to remind eveyone

that it's April Fool's Day.

I predict that in future years, when she's a bit older and has more "gravitas", she'll become as respected as Edward R. Morrow or Walter Cronkite.
