She's "built working relationships and personal friendships with political opponents for years"? I guess that's why she didn't lift a finger to help any other Democrats in Arizona this cycle - it would have offended her dear friends and colleagues in the GOP.

I miss the Keith Olberman days from his old MSNBC show. Can't stand Chris Hayes and lost a lot of respect for Rachel Maddow when she signed the letter in support of Brian Williams when he was accused of sexual harassment.
